Sometimes I think you’re right. Other times I think that couldn’t possibly be true.
I’ve studied many of the bigger wars and they’ve all mostly have been started by far less severe events. It’s scary that one person could wield all that power, unchecked and unaccountable.
It sounds like it’s time to build a bunker.
Probably not, but it could open up a whole new set of business possibilities for creative Canadians. As the article points out, building repair kits for cars & tractors to sell world wide or selling printer ink bypass kits or mandating in country app stores.
I’m no economist, but I don’t think this will offset the cost of the US tariffs to everyday Canadians, but it will steal profits from US companies who will cry to uncle trump that Canada’s stealing their lunch money. He may reconsider the tariffs.
If I had my way, Canada would also make a statement that US copyright works are not copywritable in Canada, so copy & distribute to the world. Worst case, Canadians get free US music, movies & software. Best case, concerned US companies establish a presence in Canada and pay taxes, bring jobs, etc.
Depending on what your question is asking, search around for Steve Forbes Flat Tax or Ross Perot Flat Tax.
I may have this wrong, but I recall Steve Forbes was proposing to decomplicste the IRS tax codes and implement a flat IRS income tax. In other words, remove the tax brackets and have everyone pay a fixed percent regardless of income.
Similarly, I recall Ross Perot propose that the US remove income tax completely and instead charge a flat tax on purchases (sales tax). If memory serves, it was 13% (inn, addition to state and local sales taxes).
In my uneducated opinion, both of these seem like good ideas at first. Who wouldn’t want a simpler tax code? Upon deeper inspection, I feel like both plans would favor wealthy Americans more than “the average Joe”. As said in other posts here, the wealthy report having less income through deductions and other financial wizardry and the unrich spend a greater percentage of their income on day to day expenses.
Canada’s boss move is to remove the intellectual property laws that the US asked for and let Canadian companies and consumers thrive again.
OK, since you mentioned the media, putting “gate” after any government scandal. Nixon’s scandal was involving the Watergate Office Building.
The solution ended up being a setting on the printer that was overriding the firmware setting. I found the answer here.
In case anyone is having the same problem, It seems that the settings stored in the printer overwrides the FILAMENT_RUNOUT_DISTANCE_MM in the firmware. So I just went the the printer configuration -> advance configuration -> filament and then I changed the runout distance and stored the settings.
Good arguments. Fun fact: My first accident occurred when I was looking over my shoulder to change lanes. The road was also sheer ice.
Yes. Me. I was taught that the mirrors were supposed to be aligned with the sides of the car. You’re supposed to look over your shoulder to change lanes and not rely on the mirrors.
Similarly, adding gadgets to cars is not a substitute for a car with well designed visibility. I’ve driven so many (rental and test drives) cars where I can’t see out well. Many of the manufacturers will just throw in electronics as the answer.
Fun fact, many of the external sensors don’t work well in winter driving conditions, especially freezing drizzle.
I’m having difficulty backing into parking spots with the mirrors set this way, too. I don’t do it too often, and I was hoping someone here had a solution.
Good point on motorcycles. I still look over my shoulder for lane changes, probably out of habit now.
This works for if there is or isn’t an afterlife.
I read a philosopher’s take once that we’re here to experience things like physical things or emotional things. We choose to come here to have these experiences and then go back as a more matured person (soul?). I like to think of it like we’re on vacation and then we go back and do stuff and plan another vacation.
This is a good start to explain it. Many of the posts here are also neglecting that the air around the earth is also moving along with the earth, but often at a different speed. It is not fixed in space.
For example, if you’ve ever paddled a canoe across a flowing river, you’ll either end up not across from the point you left from or you’ve steered the canoe as if you were intending to land upstream. This is because the water is pushing the canoe downstream.
Also, the comments (as if the time of this post) are all neglecting the point of reference.
An analogy on point of reference would be if you’re on a train, sitting at a table facing the rear of the train and the train is moving in the forward direction at a constant speed on a plain, if you drop an orange on the floor of the train, will it immediately roll to the back of the train?
In airplanes there is often a big difference between land speed and air speed. That is (one of the reasons) why the return trip is not the same duration when you travel in the east-west (or west-east) direction. The airplane is pushing against the airaround it whereas a car is pushing against the ground (Earth).
Same. I was taught in school but never learned how to use them until I read this (The Oatmeal).
I read something long ago that I can’t find anymore that said something to the extent of, pay attention to the movement of money, troops and people. I struggle to understand what stuff that the news reports on means, so I like the deeper stories that report on an expert’s opinion of what somebody said means or shows like 60 minutes over the Nightly News. I avoid the bloggers and vloggers since they are not experts on the important topics.
Thanks for the reply, it’s good advice to try looking at the sensor as a unit by itself. I did take it apart because in some of the reviews, people said that the mechanism inside of the vase jiggles as the filament is pulled in and out during retraction. I ended up wedging some plastic from a raspberry clamshell container (cleaned). Inside, there are two bearing wheels, one fixed and one that compresses the switch. The lower wheel turns another wheel with slots like a wagon wheel with a light sensor on the spokes to detect movement. It seems to work like a mouse scroll wheel.
There are 3 wires. From what I read, one is ground, one is +5v and one is SPI (from memory, I could be wrong). I can definitely check the switch part.
I was originally hoping to hear from a fellow Ender user with a simple, “yes it works without modifications” or, “I followed different instructions to make it work”. In thinking through your post, however, I may flip off the motion detection portion of the firmware code and run it as a simple switch to see if that works as expected.
This went way over my head. IANAL.
YES! Thanks for the reminder!
I was thinking to host pirate sites of US movies, software, etc. Get the US companies to tell the orange buffoon to behave or better yet, move the companies to Canada.
I really like the article’s reference to manufacturing US DMCA-breaking technologies and forcing devices to host app stores in Canada where the government can declare the 30% Apple tax illegal.
Check out the overlay filesystem. I’m using it for one pi and have had the same SD card for years. I don’t know if it’ll work for pinole, but may get you thinking in a new direction.
