I recall as a new driver (1997?) my insurance was cheaper in BC the after moving back to Alberta (early 2000ish) it went up, then it slowly went down to less than before. Moved back to BC (late 2000s) and it was more again, but not a ton. Just stating my experience I’ve been back in BC for quite awhile, I think what I pay is fair, around $120 a month now. Also yes I have liked there are rebates for sure that would bring down the monthly price but didn’t factor that in, I sort of forget what they were but maybe $100 or so, so close to a month’s payment. I always thought BC insurance was more fair overall even if I paid more sometimes. Think it was the premium for under 25 yr olds paid in Alberta that made it more for rather than actual claims needed which I sort of get but let people’s driving set the amount not necessarily their age.

orbitz@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop!8·2 months agoHeh at my age (and growing up with computers since the 90s well earlier but I didn’t know cables well) I assume there’s a new one next time I blink. Also at my age I don’t realize I blink as often as I do. So just shrug buy the cables your devices need and not worry too much. Mean it sucks yeah, I got tons of USB cables I never use anymore, but it’s how it goes. Much slower than it used to at least so less issue to complain. If they ever settled on some port that’d work for over 10 years I’d prefer that of course.

Mean Stuart was amusing as a side character but a spin off? Meh…I’d like to be wrong a good sitcom is always welcome.
orbitz@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Everybody talks about beliefs like they're this big important thing.6·2 months agoI always liked the line in Dogma about them, don’t turn ideas into beliefs, you can change ideas easier than beliefs. Paraphrased and I understand how much it waters down the whole problem but I still thought the idea of it was nice. Listen and be open, you shouldn’t always need to be rigid. Though mean there are still ideals I’m rigid about, respect, compassion and such. Though I always thought the idea was you thought about what worked best for everyone not just what people said you should do cause tradition.

New characters to learn the same lesson but in a fun and entertaining way of course.
No one ever wins but the corporations in cyberpunk. Umm yeah just cyberpunk.
orbitz@lemmy.cato Television@piefed.social•Michael Madsen, 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Kill Bill: Vol. 2' actor, dies at 673·2 months agoAlways felt Donnie Brasco was somewhat underappreciated for the mob movies, and I definitely (okay maybe pretty sure, it’s been a few decades now) remember him from that with the line ‘you work for me now’. For some reason that one stuck with me. Seemed entertaining in his roles.

orbitz@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•George Wendt, who played a beloved barfly on 'Cheers' and found another home onstage, dies at 7614·4 months agoAll the angels used the best greeting…Norm!
I’ll have a beer in your name tomorrow. My gf and I are watching through Cheers currently,only season 2 and it’s all nostalgia. To be fair we don’t really remember most of these early episodes but every episode feels like watching TV with my parents in the 80s to me.
We sure this isn’t Captain Hindsight in disguise?
orbitz@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System CollapseEnglish1·5 months agoWon’t happen functionally, as it’s designed to. I feel for the US citizens, they’ll break it all. From Canada where they had a new system, Phoenix or something for payroll I think, it caused a lot of hassle and was probably well intentioned, unlike this, but I never read much on it.
Blam!
