Canada’s birth rate has dropped off a cliff (and it’s likely because nobody can afford housing)
  • I think they misunderstood a Stats Canada paper to get a wildly unrealistic cost estimate. I linked it and some numbers in a reply further up.

  • Canada’s birth rate has dropped off a cliff (and it’s likely because nobody can afford housing)
  • I'm pretty sure they got their numbers wrong. I have linked to a Stats Canada article in a different reply with what I think are correct numbers that are massively higher than their claim.

  • I saw your cost claim and found it really hard to believe. I mean I spend more than $200 a month raising two cats lol. I found this from Stats Canada from 2017 https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11f0019m/11f0019m2023007-eng.htm as far as I can see your numbers a way off. Looking at Table 2 for Predicted annual expenditures for one child in a one child family. It costs $14960 a year from 0-5 or $1246 a month which seems much more realistic. I wonder if you were assuming that total was from 0-5 rather than the total per year from 0-5. If you take the 0-17 total of $290,580 the monthly is $1424.

  • Tolerating intolerance
  • This comic is a good example of the Paradox of Tolerance. You can't tolerate intolerance.... it does not end well.

  • Increasing number of Canadians want to reconsider ties to monarchy, survey suggests
  • You don't need to keep the Royal Family to stay in the Commonwealth. Take a look at the current members of the commonwealth.

  • I don't want to be that guy (immediately is that guy) but they are provinces not states. I'm hoping making this point will speed up my citizenship application lol

  • Sign our petition to stop France from forcing browsers like Mozilla's Firefox to censor websites
  • I mean the title literally says "forcing browsers" and unsurprisingly Mozilla post uses Firefox as an example.

  • I say double it.
  • Billions of zombies.... that then feast on the living. This could be the worst outcome.

  • I think the easiest route would be to just use the built in windows disk image tool? MS have increasingly hidden it over the years but it still works. Basically you take an image of your current system, then remove the old HDD, install the new one, restore the image. It does require having enough space on a spare disk to create the image.
    This guide looks to cover creating an image:

    and this one covers restoring it: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-restore-a-windows-10-system-image-to-an/e20992ca-5641-4f7c-bb09-3895d0732162

    Edit: You can of course keep and reuse the old HDD. I just suggest pulling it for the initial restore if you aren't comfortable with boot settings/wiping disks etc as you might just keep booting to the old existing windows. Once the new one is setup you can then connect the old one and format it.

  • I can see this isn't your first rodeo!

  • NSFW
    Based on math and porn law, the minimum age to be a porno MILF should be 36
  • Yeah they messed up their logic. They seem to imply people are sexualizing the MILFs kid which is a bit weird.

  • What's your email client of choice?
  • I'm moving to Tutanota so I have to use there client on desktop and mobile. I have Thunderbird for my Gmail and Outlook emails on Desktop and just use Gmail and Outlook apps on my phone.
