Thank you for the deeper explanation. I've seen a lot of "landlords are all evil" being dropped around on various platforms, I think here you capture the difference pretty well (oligopolistic tendencies, limited liabilities, maximizing profit, major companies with leverage vs micro-landlords with 1-2 rented apartments).

Only thing on top of this would be how REIT is a way to make rentals more like an investment even though there's not a central investor but managed centrally like a business.

Will that work for Firefox and VLC?

Which mental illness would benefit from MAID? Is there a concept of terminal mental illness in a way the patient would need palliative care or suffer for the rest of their life?

Right, it's more like 6 days of rent.

Do you plan to replace your 1070 or use it alongside it?

With 200K+ homeless, 40M would mean 200$ per person; that's enough to maybe cover 2 weeks of rent, after which they will be homeless again unless they find a job to cover for it.

How much is enough then? Well, the 1.1B budgeted in 2021 and 500M for 2022-2023 is definitely an improvement, but it's unclear what the impact is, in retrospective, as there have not been any reliable statistics on how many homeless there are, how they are receiving help, why they were homeless in the first place. It's unclear what proportion of the money is used to create new housing, given directly to the homeless, provided to non-profit without string attached, or used in specific programs (food bank/stamp, rehab, mental health centers, etc.)

The best way to learn more about it is to directly be involved in volunteering opportunities to help the homeless, which is much more effective than complaining about wo the government should be caring about.

Interesting. I think ccwgtv can read h264 and h265, I guess av1 would be a "bad" codec then?

What's the point of transcoding for local serving?

True, now I expect Canada to install more solar panels than China has in total.

What's the point of 5600gt? With the rising price of ram and nand, ddr4 motherboard winding down availability wise (only ASRock still has many options at this point), it feels like by the time it comes out, the saving on a 5600g, even 5700g will be null.
