One of the old rules: "there are no girls on the internet". Probably due to be reworded but the point is not that women don't exist, it's that your gender is actually irrelevant in most discussions.

Us men are taught that our opinion is always valuable.

As a man I've been told no one wants my opinion since the 2000s so I'm not sure where you're getting this from.

I live in one of the more humid areas of Canada and when people tell you it can't get humid when it's that cold I wonder if they've ever experienced how the cold can just cut right through your clothes.

Summer humidity is absolutely the worst though, and people die here every year because of it.

Quick Celsius breakdown from a Canadian:

  • 40+ - most Canadians stop eating food and hope for a quick death
  • 35 - you might just be able to live with this if you do nothing at all
  • 28 - right about the place where comfort gives way to a general sense of warmth, something that makes any Canadian uncomfortable
  • 23 - room temperature, and why "room temperature IQ" is an insult only Americans could have come up with because their scale was made by a madman
  • 15 - If it's Autumn you are wearing a light jacket, if it's Spring you are sweating
  • 5 - sweater time
  • 0 to -10 - that stereotypical TV winter experience, where everyone is skating and sipping hot chocolate? Yeah that's like half the year here. You better like hot chocolate.
  • -15 - We enjoy the fresh air, others will probably find it painful to breathe directly; put on a scarf! Do not brush your teeth immediately before going outside unless you want to experience mint-flavoured pain.
  • -20 - Canadians put their boots on by now. Exposed skin on a windy day can get frostbite in as little as 10 minutes.
  • -30 - We will debate putting a coat on to put the garbage out at this temperature, usually erring on the side of caution in case your kids lock you outside again. Seriously invest in good winter gear for this, this temperature can kill surprisingly fast and it only gets increasingly unpleasant from here.
  • -40 - turns out you can't form snowballs in hell because the snow is too crispy

It doesn't help that the Rust community tends to bring extremely divisive politics with it in places and ways that just don't need to happen, starting battles that aren't even tangentially related to programming.

The alternative is to just keep getting fucked by Microsoft...

It's such bullshit too because drastically changing someone's working conditions is clearly a constructive dismissal and should lead to severance payments.

Sounds like you want smart devices, wearables, DIY electronics, home assistant, etc.. "Technology" communities are pretty much always about the tech community and not the actual tech itself.

Yeah that's what happened with my wife. Had to scrap PiHole because she didn't want to deal with it.

Yeah Intel really needs to recall these things. This shit isn't right.
