It is also taking on technical debt, as each revision can come with OS quirks, and you now have to support X numbet of versions of hardware/software troubleshooting.

The Linux Teams app works. I'm not sure what is missing other than MS abandoning dev on it

My one house purchased late 90s in Ontario came with notes and required signoff aknowledgement that it was in a designated flood plain. So flood plain awareness should not be new to people. (The home was on a raised pedistal foundation, so flood damage should have been minimal if it occured, and price was right)

Moving out west with huge topology changes meant I always checked flood plain maps before looking at realestate. Some friends of mine called me paranoid and had a good laugh about my efforts...but I think with all the atmospheric rivers and worldvwide flooding recently, they may now understand my madness.

I never check usernames or comments. It is about the conversation at hand.

I assume sone people are sensitive of pronouns if they have transitioned or altered their pronouns, but simple catch phrases should not get you banned--if it was clearly not harrassment.

I try to be cautious of gendering and use they/them when possible, but also i feel individual people need to realize the world does not revolve around just them as an egocentric bubble, and sometime shit happens and you have to deal with your feelings about it, and either A) ask for what you need, or B) move on. Having mods protect your feelings for a perceived slight does not prepare you for the outside world of actual interaction with humans.

Again, anyone please don't take this as condoning purposeful harassment, bullying of those not in the boomer view of gender. I grew up as a cismale that did not follow the normal idea of what a boy or man is. I was the artsy, poetry type that had mostly female friends. This caused toxic males to label me gay. Cuz gay to hang out with women, LOL.

On a funny note my as a bearded man standing at the pharmacy counter, my pharmaciat called me "Sir Or Madame" as one phrase. They clearly had just taken a course on inclusivity, or have something in them that made them respond per the exact script corporate presented. There wasn't even a need to address me with an honorific, they could have just said Next, or I can help you now.

We had something similar. Dad went out for a dinner, then later you get to have a phonecall about the restaurant food and experience. A way to share, rather than a gift they probably didn't need.

They are good just drizzled in Ranch dressing. LOL

Good point on dox etc. We have lots of options in BC. Coast Capital, FirstWest, and VanCity are good options here.

TD bank manager actually suggested I open my business account with Coast Capital LOL, he said TD can't compete with what Coast Capital offers.

When I switched I went from 21$ TD monthly fee plus $1.50 debit transactions...to zero fees for anything.

Plus government kicked in $200 as incentive to choose a credit union.

Credit Union also allows us voting on major policy changes, so members have a say in how the union develops.

Profits are fed back into community support.

TD had all my business before. Personal and business account, car, house, motorcycle insurance, RRSP, credit card, line of credit. They got too greedy though, and as I used line of credit they kept re-evaluating the variance. So about a 3% rate rose to 17%. But the real push was watching transaction order get changed overnight to force an NSF fee charge the next day, by counting (reordering) morning deposits last after evening withdrawals.

No autodesk, but if you have the budget you can use Siemens NX (version 12 or before) on Linux. They have install media for SUSE or RHEL. I found it more performant on Linux than the W10 install

White bread with mustard, and those dried fried crisy onions sandwiched inside. Gets me through to next meal.
