Nuts, also why do people feel to need to park their cars front ends overhanging the sideway like that!

E-Transfer only requires a bank account, no “third party” accounts needed, recipients also don’t need to bank with the same bank.
E-transfers are similar in nature to written checks but transfers are instantaneous in nature and amounts don’t bounce.
- Comment on Anyone have one of these? 1 week ago:
I can hear the questions from grandma asking how to find the dial pad after she accidentally deletes it from the homescreen.
Other then that this reminds me of TV shows or moves that had video telephones in homes mounted on walls similar to this. You would make a call and their face would appear on the screen, you could even broadcast to each screen in the house.

I still remember going to the US and seeing these carbon copy credit card machines. Also what blows my mind is the US still does not have e-transfer.
They work like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug4zEJglde0

I still find it unbelievable that a full subway line was just erased and there was no plan for a replacement.

It really depends where you put that small pause.
Its like saying spider-man without the hyphen.

Maybe you and I can agree that a wall of Trucks and Trailers like this should never be allowed?

- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 2 months ago:
Quality of the subtitles depend on the company the production company contracted out the subtitles to be created.
The company that puts together the subtitle file does so using the provided script with time stamps provided.
If multiple languages are needed the production company hires companies to do the translation and other companies might be hired to put together those subtile files for those specific languages they specialize in.
Some companies in some regions may have multiple departments that specialize in two or more of these feilds.
Delux entertainment for example does audio mixing and also has a subtitle department.
- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 2 months ago:
There can be many different companies involved. For example audio houses usually do the audio mixing. When you looks at the credits on Netflix shows you will see the credits for many different audio houses doing the mix for different regions and languages they specialize in.
Similarly subtitles are produced by many third party companies contracted to do the transitions of the provided scripts. Generally the scripts already have time stamps in them of when the audio happens as well.
Audio and visual production has many different companies and professionals coming together all around the world to put shows and movies together. Especially when these shows or movies are released in different regions.
An analogy is a contractor building a house. The contracting company hires out all aspects of the construction process to professionals that specialize in building the house. You have framers, drywallers, HVAC installers, plumber’s and so on.

- Comment on 8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs 2 months ago:
Awesome thanks for the confirmation
- Comment on 8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs 2 months ago:
This sucks for Canadians as well. I have a feeling 8bit ships all stock to the USA first then ships it by truck North and South from a distribution center. This means import fees are paid at the port of entry.
Not sure if demand is high enough for 8bit to ship directly to Canada or even have a warehouse in Canada TBH.

You just gave a detailed description of my life.
I have some duplicate consoles where they are modded different ways just for the fun of it. Some of these consoles I have never actually played a game on for more then 20min.
