No.

Which likely means that insurance rates for this sort of protection are going to skyrocket (like all insurance these days) and will be the thing that forces them to update their software and practices.

Implied to be a miracle cure for COVID...but based on the rest of the movie, it was undoubtedly bullshit. I would have loved a 1-minute stinger at the end showing that they all had COVID, lol.

No limestone here, it's basically clay. But western Canada is filled with radon and uranium. I wish it was part of building code! And 10 isn't even high for here; homes in Regina commonly test at 20 to 40.

Biden won’t speak freely near Secret Service and thinks agents lied about dog biting WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK A new book claims president’s trust in the agents who protect him has been frayed by the agency’s destruction of text messages sought by the House January 6 select committee What a shocker that the cops who deleted all their communications from Jan 6 can't be trusted.

Nice. Yeah, our foundation is in good shape, but we are sealing up the sump pit and backflow valve for that reason (with removable seals). Our levels are 10pCi/L and this system should get us closer to 1-2.

He's a mashup of Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan who is very popular with young men. Very evil man.

Getting a radon mitigation system installed in our house, today. Radon is the #2 cause of lung cancer in western Canada due to the amounts present in the soil (breaks down into plutonium very briefly). Drilling into the foundation and installing a fan to create a depressurized zone in the soil beneath the house, which will be sucked up and out. Right now our levels are 3x the safe limit, and it should reduce it to near-zero (fingers crossed). Every home with a basement in the north-eastern half of the continent should have one installed, especially with how airtight our homes are becoming.

Yeah, it's bad out there. Started last week with the Pacific Northwest, Vancouver and Seattle were hit hard. Now the cold front is affecting further east. I know a few people who have been stranded away from home for over a week, now. Horrible situation.

Ukraine has been advancing the last few days towards Kreminna and looks to be taking it soon. Russian command has fallen back, and Russian soldiers have begun looting (precursor to pulling out). Ukraine also appears to have struck a Russian airfield again.

Let's all remember the reason for the season--today is the birthday of our savior: After three elections and seven years in office, he is now 51.

More power stations attacked, this time on Xmas Day, throwing 7,000 homes in Tacoma into darkness. For those unfamiliar, it's become a trend in right-wing circles to take out power stations with guns in order to eliminate power in areas where "liberal" events are occuring, typically drag shows. Of course, many people rely on power to survive (including hospitals, of course), but this doesn't seem to phase the terrorists. Over 7,000 left without power after three Tacoma Power substation facilities attacked WWW.KING5.COM The incident is under investigation.

Worst since 1996 so far.

Are you playing at 4k? Or 1440p? If it's the latter, you might also want to consider something like an AMD 6950 XT or 7900 XTX. Much cheaper than the Nvidia alternatives (and easier to find), but really great for 1440p gaming.

Oh sorry, I mistyped before: it was $900 for the XT, and $999 (CAD) for the XTX. If I could have scooped up the latter I would have tried to return the 6950 XT I bought (still unopened).

They sold out quickly, which isn't surprising (back up to $1,400). Still officially listed at $999 on the site, but sold out at that price, as well. They were also reference cards direct from AMD. For comparison, I nabbed a 6950 XT direct from AMD Canada for $1,000 a month ago, which was about $400 less than the going rate. AMD gives really good direct buy deals in Canada, but you have to watch the site because they will drop stock randomly and then it sells out. Some people care because they are only reference cards...but lol for $400 less I will take it! AMD Shop - Buy Processors & Graphics Cards Online | AMD

This week they've been $900 direct from AMD, which is crazy.

I don't get why anyone would pay $1,800 CAD for a 4080 when you can get a 7900 XT for like $1,000.

Putin says Russia wants end to war in Ukraine WWW.REUTERS.COM President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia wants an end to the war in Ukraine and that this would inevitably involve a diplomatic solution. Ah if only there was some way to do so.

How long before a major manufacturer tries to scoop them up?

Russian losses have surpassed 100,000, according to Ukraine (grain of salt):
