Most things in our regular day-to-day lives would leave residue, even water (maybe deionized wouldn’t?) just a matter of how much and how noticeable. About the soap, well if you smell it on your hands after wash, then it’s still there and you will rub it onto stuff. At least it’s just soap tho…

I don’t know if you can reasonably remove all contaminants off your skin, unless you plan to like glove up or destroy the skin by washing waayyyyy too often. But you know, good hygiene will keep things you touch nicer for longer so keep at it.

Tbf unless you’re really anal about it, you’re never going to have perfectly clean hands all the time. But if your controller is getting discoloured quickly and regularly, then you can probably tell where the problem lies regardless of its colour.
I have similar issue with mouse, but it takes about 3-4 years of regular use for it to get really noticeably discoloured or start rubbing off top coat, to a point where even cleaning with IPA doesn’t do anything. And that’s a black mouse.
Also worth noting, many hand creams are a big no-no imho. Some of that shit destroys your gear, worse than any dirt.

Probably if you don’t wash your hands very often…or at all? Just guessing

Gotta warn you though, seems the only nice piece of nature you’ll get is on the border with BC and they did a real number on the environment in the north.

But you guys can probably actually fix it rather than celebrate CO2 like what these close are doing now with provincial legislature.

Can we swap Albertans with Coloradans though?

Interesting, I recall a colleague in UK mention that it was costing her up to 20k a year. That was her max but not always/everywhere - would have been almost 30k USD at the time, so it sounds considerably cheaper in US but obviously a lot more land available and affordable

Any noticeable durability issues? Had my Samsung stick die completely just outside of warranty window…

Careful, some might think you’re a jerk 🤣

I don’t know whether anything changed or it’s down to brand but I have no issues baking strudels and other pastry with similar dough from soy milk, including doing some simple buns from dry yeast, but obviously that lacked the sourdough taste, which I’d like to try replicate with use of some acids next (e.g. vinegar). Don’t really do much else though, so can’t confirm for other uses.

We specifically buy Kirkland brand (cheapest alternative) and more recently actually started grabbing the vanilla soy milk from US instead of local. I used to hate sweetened soy milk some 5+years ago, but this is somehow different. And it works great for crepes as well - actually better than regular milk IMO.

Lmao…now if Honda or whichever Japanese manufacturer is still regularly pushing these out came out and sued, I’d be more inclined to think they have some weight behind the accusation because I’m sure I’ve seen something similar before. Then again as others pointed out, they all look similar, even more so once you try to hide the wiring, hydraulics etc

From first hand experience…yes

Government’s friends profits?

If actual scientists were in charge, and maybe had some ideas that they weren’t certain would work but sounded promising, which could be theoretically tested with AI - there would be hope.
But none of these fuckers would allow anyone with more than half a brain cell near it, because “investment and growth and blablabla”

Then again, we could just do that with existing supercomputers and all these power hungry AI crap companies’ resources (I’m sure some supercomputers do get used for the modelling already)…instead of whatever the fuck they’re trying to do now.

More of a generic answer as I don’t know the situation there, so hopefully someone local will come around and chime in.

Unfortunately we live in a world where it doesn’t take much money for the movie/music industry corporations to sway the politicians in any country.

So what may be legal today, could very well not be a week, month or year from now and you’d want to stay on top of news like that.

As a general rule of thumb, I’d suggest using a solid VPN, if you’re uncertain about the consequences. I switched Mullvad (would I recommend it? Sure, but only if you’re ready to actually pay for it) and used to use Nordvpn (it’s ok, seems to have become bloated, but sometimes with cashback deals it’s essentially free) and there are plenty more out there depending on your level of comfort in quality of service they actually provide.

Now if someone can confirm what the situation is actually like, it could be anything from “I’m gonna need a n-th NAS with xxx TB capacity to seed all this” through “oh no, another email from my ISP, I need to setup a filter to send these to trash directly” to “who’s that knocking on my door at this time of the day”. In the end it all comes down to your appetite for risk.

Pffsh there’s literally Johnny 5s head on ceiling while somebody making a very vague comparison

Introduce say…shall we call it CHIPS and Sciences Act 2 (milk that sequel).

More jobs in the semiconductor industry, microchips for everyone in the country to track them because everyone is evil, especially those darn foreigners.
Except you know it’s none of that and it hides healthcare for everyone instead, and no politician would ever know because like why the fuck would actually read something and those who do, well I’m sure they’d understand the purpose.

Alrighty then, just need to wait for fucking novideo stock to get back to what I bought it at and I’ll dump and switch (don’t have anything spare to play around with sadly)

I hear you though, I also had(have?) similar physical effect on things like toys as a kid or some electronics since then…just brake shit randomly without trying, especially if I don’t own it.

You guys want me to invest? I’m guaranteed to lower the stock value by ~30% within about a month with my shidas touch

The brain damage seems to leak from the skull into the hat.

Doesn’t that casualty count include any and all injured IIRC and not just deaths, meaning that some could be counted twice/thrice on enemy side (not like they can keep track of that) whereas not necessarily counted multiple times in their own end depending on how they define a casualty of a single person (injured multiple times)
