What if the shadow buyers were the intercepters all along.

Manitoba plans to tackle 'shrinkflation' by requiring grocery stores to post unit prices across province
Yea this has been a thing in Québec and it's easier to compare.
My recommendation would be to also set a minimum font size, sometimes it's on the small side (on purpose, I'm sure)

Seven Perfect Shuffles Randomize a Deck of Cards. But How Many Sloppy Ones?
Reply in thread
Read the thing, it explains that their "perfect shuffle" isn't every card being perfectly interleaved (yes that'd be deterministic).
But rather, at every card, there's roughly 50/50 chance of it being a card from left/right piles being dropped, with an increasing odd for the bigger pile.
I haven't bothered proving it, but I'm pretty sure a perfect intellect interleave would eventually put the deck back in order, but that's not what the article is discussing.

Linus does not fuck around
So I recently had a conversation with some who though Linus Torvalds (kernel) and Linus Sebastian (Linus Tech Tips) was the same person.
That was a pretty funny and confusing conversation.

2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Actual size is supposed to be 1.5
Reply in thread
You'd think so, but no.
Short story is the 'nominal' size is the size before going into a planer to smooth the faces.
Yes, it makes little sense, like many things related to construction stuff.

Air Canada must pay damages after chatbot lies to grieving passenger about discount – Airline tried arguing virtual assistant was solely responsible for its own actions
This was already budgeted for when they decided to use a chatbot instead of paying employees to do that job.
Trying to blame the bot is just lame.

Canadian town at standstill over councillors' refusal to take oath of allegiance to King Charles
Québec has gotten rid of the royal oath requirement, surely Yukon can think of something.

What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?
I like chunkier scrollbars.
Fuck the tiny disappearing scrollbars where you need to mouse over... somewhere.. to maybe be graced with its presence, only for it to be 1px wide for some reason.
Also fuck the endless scroll, especially when you already know what you're looking for is on page 4 because you had to reload the page for some reason but the infinite scroll didn't save your position and you have to go down (without an actual scrollbar) only to "load more" 3 times until you're (maybe) on page 4.

Opening Lemmy in the morning and seeing dozens of unread comments in your inbox makes you think: what the heck did I say yesterday?
And then all of them are "Nicole".

Jack Daniel's maker says Canada pulling U.S. alcohol off shelves 'worse than tariff'
Dear Mr. Daniel,
I'm sorry that a store pulling things from their shelves is hurting your business, but I thought you should know that this is not even the tip of the iceberg.
Regardless of what any store does, I will simply not be buying Jack Daniel's, probably ever, along with a slew of other things, as many as I possibly can.
There are so many better whiskeys around the world that I certainly don't need to.
I empathize with the collateral damage this may cause, and hope that something, anything really, is eventually enough for y'all fuckers to start thinking about getting your shit together.
In the meantime, I will simply Buy Anything But American.
I am just one person, but I am not alone.
Sincerely,
Fix your shit or get fucked,
A random Canadian

‘A 1-year-old could get an abortion under this’ bill: far-right GOP lawmaker
a bill that would grant an abortion exception for rape or incest
... 1 year olds kids.
Nevermind the fact that 1y.o. aren't fertile, normal people go their entire lives without ever thinking about impregnating 1 year olds.
And yea, if you somehow magically got a 1 y.o. pregnant, I sure as fuck hope they'd be able abort.

Elder scrolls
I hate the modern ones you need to hover above so they even display, and then it's 1 pixel wide and a shade of grey that's about 2% darker than white.
Less functional and 500 lines of js garbage.
