  This is what I was taught as well. It’s a very intentional “not quite 2x4”, but saying that every time gets tiring haha

  The number of ppl who don’t understand this is truly stunning. For some reason ppl think being superior to nature is desirable. It is foolish at best, catastrophic otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best time during hockey season to visit Canada?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re doing some long term planning and want max hockey, this is probably something you want to look into for 2027/28. Will be expensive but can probably do some multi game deals: nhl.com/…/world-cup-of-hockey-2028-to-be-played-i…

  Other than that I strongly recommend looking into some WHL and OHL seasons - all young players trying to get into the NHL, so on average the hockey is grittier and more interesting. NHL players have already made it so, though it always draws a crowd, you get more “phone it in” type games in the regular season. Playoffs are another monster entirely in both levels.

  I haven’t read the other comments yet, but the budding PWHL has the skill of the NHL with the scrappiness of professional women’s sport. Phenomenal hockey.

  Happy travels!

  Yeah I was with Shaw before they got monopolized now I’m trying to eek my way out of Rogers (they’ve been kindly upping my bill monthly the last 3 months)

  The day has not come that I’ve found a subscription worth the monthly rate. I even pay a bit more for my Internet bill so I can dump its ass on a whim if I like, and I use that daily (hourly). Canada has SUPER predatory telecoms, keeps them honest

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a Chinese American, if I wanna travel internationally, is it better to just say I'm American, or pretend to be a Chinese National (to hide from Anti-American sentinments)?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is an interesting take haha. I’m Canadian and have never once heard of Americans being nicer than Canadians - it is part of our national identity that we’re"oddly nice". I’ve heard more of the “Americans are big and take up space” commentary from above, and have even heard it in Canada (and we share a lot of cultural similarity). Not saying you’re wrong, I just found this such a reversal of my experience I had to comment. Overall, I love my siblings to the south :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i live in this constant state⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I remember from my degree, its a quality of depth/focus issue. Your brain settles into a task and unpacks that task (with all kinds of consideration for mental load, familiarity, etc). This takes about 20 minutes to get properly focused.

  Switching the context pops you out of that task, and then your brain has to resettle into the new one. You don’t get a bonus for switching between only two tasks, it takes about 20 minutes each time.

  So multitasking is effectively ruining your own focus everytime you switch, which is why they’re slower - you restart the 20 min clock every time you switch. Ppl doing familiar tasks can switch a little faster, and sometimes there’s a level of quasi-multitasking where you can work on automatic - but it has to be below conscious processing to happen (e.g., driving and then not realising how you got where you’re going, or you’re already intimately familiar with a file at work). It doesn’t quite count because your conscious processing doesn’t come into play, so it’s not really switching

  I love this reasoning. You are social because, at some point in the degree, you spoke with another human

  That’s bananas. I knew the relative sizes were absurdly imbalanced, but no one has explained it in a way that I could imagine those differences. Thanks very much!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨obesity even kills stars, but the bigger they are, they shine brighter too⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never heard it described this way. If accurate… I get it now

  I love that you didn’t give up the complex creations. Unlike the other commenter I have no idea what a hurdy gurdy is, but I can appreciate the value of overmaking stuff. Glad to hear that you didn’t let the capitalisation of steampunk kill your passion 😊
