My wrench suffered many hammer blows, but wouldn't budge. I ended up prying it off.

Let me know how the motivx works. I was originally deciding between that or the $10 one.....

So keep an eye out for a class action lawsuit for some free money

Quote:

VANCOUVER — A lawyer for a group of iPhone owners says a British Columbia judge has approved a countrywide multimillion-dollar settlement with tech giant Apple over software updates that allegedly slowed down older devices.

Lawyer K.S. Garcha says class members who make claims on the $14.4-million settlement can expect to receive between $17.50 and $150 each, depending on how many people submit a claim for the settlement money

he settlement covers eligible residents of Canada except those in Quebec, which Garcha says could reach nine million people.

He says the settlement process took a couple of years, with Apple agreeing to a "compromise" without admitting any wrongdoing.

Garcha says the class-action lawsuit was a "complex matter" involving novel legal theories about the company putting software on devices without the owners' consent.
The B.C. lawsuit was originally filed in 2018, and Apple settled a similar case in the United States involving so-called throttling of iPhone 6 and 7 models, and Garcha says American class members ended up with US$92 payouts.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 4, 2024.

Don't know which thread we were talking about this but an interesting article (link is free) about what's happening in the US for homes that only have a 100amp service - there's companies springing up to build "Smart" electrical panels so people can avoid paying to upgrade to 200amp service.

^ that’s already happening here, you can get a smart switch which diverts the entirety of your 240v to your EV charger

100 amps will never be able to support the faster chargers though

I went to HCL today with le wife. Flavour is good but the meat in the XLB sucked. Too skinny and grainy, I expected it to be smoother.

I know exactly what you mean by "grainy", because that's sort of how I find it as well. I have previously described it as "loose" and "not pastey", and "pastey" is how I would normally expect the XLB meat paste to be.

Yes, but that’s how it’s suppose to be. Not a lump of pork. Because it’s basically just chopped pork shoulder instead of cheapy ass cuts of ground pork.

Well either way, I still think it’s the best XLB in Richmond.

I think I prefer Wang's given everything. Flavour is better at HCL, but Wang's is closer, cheaper, and the texture is better

Yeah she's Shanghainese, basically exactly the same evaluation of the food. She was tempted to get the hundred leaf thing because no one else does it locally, but decided to get mochi instead.

i went to watch Dune 2 yesterday and it was amazing!!!!!! probably the best book-to-movie adaptation I've ever seen. I was a huge fan of the first movie, but the 2nd one just blows you away with the visuals and cinematography

even if you didnt read the books, you can still enjoy the movie. Its truly mind blowing!!

Its so good im going to see it again in IMAX format.

Yeah the trailers for the first one did nothing for me so I skipped it. If it's really that good though I should check it out and maybe catch the sequel on imax. I haven't been to a theater since Oppenheimer

The first one was the fastest 3 hour movie I’ve ever seen lol

Even “good” movies I’m interested in usually by the end I’m thinking in my head like fuck is this almost over yet? With the first Dune when it ended I was like wtf? It’s over?

I’m sure 2 is excellent
