I'm considering it. I don't have a working PC at the moment.
A system that can run steam and Xbox games natively is appealing. Also full access to game pass.
It had my attention, even if the price in Canada is fucking stupid.

I've just moved into my first home (bought an apartment/condo) and it's wired for coax.
Our modem supports coax just fine, and is MoCa capable.

Now it seems that 1 coax port in the place works, but the other 2 do not. I have a suspicion that this is a main port/supplementary port issue.

IE the port in the living room is the primary connected port, and the other 2 simply connect to it but not to the main line.

When I set the modem up on that connector it works perfectly, but will not work at all on the other two. I'd really like to set our machines up for hardline (up to 750gbps) instead of wifi (maxing at about 100gbps).

Is a MoCa adapter my only option outside of an electrician? I don't want to spend $100+ if it won't work.
And do I need 2 MoCa boxes, or just 1 since my modem is MoCa capable?

I'm really really debating getting this.
My first diablo was D2 and I loved it.
I still play D2R and played 3 and 4.

I'm mostly intimidated by the complexity, as well as what I've seen of the difficulty. I'm also afraid I'll run out of content in 2 weeks and never go back to it

If you think any of these issues became a part of the the republican, or even the democratic party, in 2016 then there is no conversation to be had here.

I'm sorry, but have you paid any attention to the GOP in the past year?
Every point on that list accurately describes the actions and opinions of the GOP members currently in power and coming into power.
When Project 2025 exists, you're not allowed to simply handwave and say "this isn't real".

I live in Canada and depressingly, yes.

Not yet.
I'm dreading when I have to cut contact with my sister, because I know she voted Trump. I won't be able to face her knowing she voted for him when my niece needs $10,000+/month in government assisted healthcare.

My niece is likely going to die because of Trump and I can't look at my sister or her husband knowing this.

Why are Americans so average to the bare minimum in terms of healthcare? It's fucking depressing.

Yeah every single part of that area pre-boss is basically screaming at you DONT USE PHYSICAL. It doesnt make sense to blame the game for giving you some obvious telegraphs and then not listening to them

Not to mention that one of the core driving concepts behind the game is Diversity in all things.
At every turn the game is yelling at you "diversity breeds success!" and yet some people take that to mean "I'll just have 3 or 4 of one class and just now everything down!"

Every single turn based RPG ever has required you to have a varied team. Even fucking Pokemon.

I currently have nobody who has went into Faker at all.

If you have two Faker on the team they get a 0mp synthesis that does AoE almighty damage. Nice for dungeon grinding.

The movies are set in a time when the force had been imbalanced (in favor of the Light) for a long time, and both Jedi and Sith were fading into obscurity.

Realistically it's because Lucas was incapable of creating a work that didn't have numerous plot holes.

Isn't he the same guy that said having sex with women is gay because they've had a penis inside them, and transitive property etc etc?

I've had Tinnitus for as long as I can remember.
I don't remember what true silence actually sounds like.

I mean really I'd like to go to Newfoundland or Nova Scotia or something, but that's a bit farther.

TBH I'd not recommend it unless you've lived on a coast before.
The combination of Canadian winter + being coastal is absolutely brutal for newcomers.
The prairies get a lot of wind and snow, but manageable.

Politically, Ontario and BC would fit people fleeing Trump best.

I live close enough in Michigan that I'd just have to take a car trip to cross the bridge, but I heard Toronto is hit or miss. Would probably pick Missauga instead of Brampton.

TBH as far as CoL goes Sask/Manitoba small towns would fit people best.
Anyone thinking of moving to Vancouver, Ottawa, or the Mississauga area will be seriously disillusioned when they start looking at rental/housing costs.

If anyone plans to move to Vancouver, expect 2-4 room mates tbh.

I'm absolutely certain it'll be a repeat of Jan 6th, maybe even worse.

This thread was just a sneaky way to get pictures of our cats wasn't it?

This kind of shit is going to get Americans killed. Some of these things are banned for good fucking reason.

Jordan Peterson couldn't make a valid point if someone else wrote the script for him.

It appears that adult prisoners are fed to the monster. Children fetch more money on the open market so seems like the idea is they can sell the child and get more food overall than the child itself would give to the monster.

It confirms that at least some children were fed to the creature.
After the dungeon your character does a "There were children's corpses on the wagon oh god"

Heismay is one of my favorite followers in terms of story.

I actually stopped using him in the main party after a couple more people joined though.

there are many many many more homes than there are people, the problem is investor greed not letting people live in them.

And adding hundred of thousands of additional people per year doesn't make those homes any more available.
All it does is drive up demand for what currently is available, and make the pricing issue even worse.

Immigration isn't the only (or even the biggest) factor when it comes to housing and housing cost issues. But it is a factor, and one we can control while we focus on the others.

As an American that moved to Canada almost 20 years ago: good.
We have a housing and rental crisis on our hands. Have had for many years. We need to stop adding people into this mess until we actually have it figured out.

Add the cost of living crisis onto that, and we're drowning.

Factually no.

Both Canada and US apply a standard deduction, but your math only does it for Canada.
Fixed example: Take $40k/yr.
Both US and Canada have roughly a 15k standard deduction for single filers, making taxable income 25k
In Canada you would pay taxes on 25k at 15%. A total of $3,750.
In the US you would pay 10% of 12k ($1200) and 12% of 13k ($1,560), a total of $2,760
Canadian effective tax rate on $40k is 9.375%
US effective tax rate on $40k is 6.9%

Not a huge difference, just about $80 a month, but it is strange that the Canadian system appears to be more regressive against low income earners than the US but definitely eases up as you grow.

That was my mistake. In Canada the 15k is listed as a tax exemption, when I searched that for the US I didn't find anything.

Either way, both countries are payibg almost the same in taxes. The distribution of taxed funds is the primary difference.

Popular vote is by and large a useless metric.

You can win as much of the popular vote as you want and still lose.
The electoral vote is what matters.

I like it, but I wish that they didn't sacrifice making Archer in favor of it.
I understand that Bob's Burgers is more popular and more lucrative, but I prefer Archer to it.

You see it often with people making multiple projects like this. One is always the "favourite".

"OooooOOo look at me. I don't have any long-term or chronic health conditions.

This is such a massive misconception from both Canadians and Americans.

For anyone making under $150k/year there is a 2-3% or lower difference in each bracket between Canadian and US income tax.
And in fact for anyone making $15k or less you pay more in the USA.
The primary difference between countries is the way taxes are spent.
(I've not included both provincial or state income tax brackets as they vary wildly, and there's just too much data to fit here. Provincial income tax ranges from 5%-15% almost across the board.
7 states have no state income taxes. The rest range from 2-15% rather wildly)
Canada:
Under $15k/yr is tax free
$15k-55k/yr is 15%
$56k-111k is 20.5%
$111k-173k is 26%

USA:
$0-12k/yr is 10%
$12-48k/yr is 12%
$48k-103k/yr is 22%
$103k-197k/yr is 24%

Edit:
An example. Take $40k/yr.

In Canada you would pay taxes on 25k of that at 15%. A total of $3,750.
In the US you would pay 10% of 12k ($1200) and 12% of 28k ($3,360), a total of $4,560 .

The answer is FLCL and I'll not be taking any comments at this time

How is he not being arrested for sedition?
Fucking hate how toothless the US is against this garbage.

Have you met Cuculus yet? I recommend doing his quest asap. Gives you access to a synthesis that is 0mp and does almighty to the entire enemy team.

Would have made some dungeon encounters much, much easier.

The spear is the most logical choice.
It was the dominant weapon on earth for thousands of years. (Hundreds of thousand tbh)

Agree on the EXP though want to mention i heard EXP allotment changes on difficulty eg on Hard we get less EXP. Not sure how true that is though

I'm on normal and feel like grinding is necessary. I can't imagine a higher difficulty outside of NG+

I'm sure it's in the same purgatory as Black-man ass.

I only ever need to drive them at work.
Maybe once or twice a month tbh.

My only real complaint is that it feels like you're forced to grind after a certain point.
My party has been either at the same level as enemies, or a couple below since Brilehaven.
At times I was a full 10 levels below bosses.

I've not skipped any content, not avoided any fights, and have done every request and bounty.
I think exp needs a 10-20% across the board buff from Brilehaven on.
