  • That's definitely the case when they use a "volume" AR wall, which I know they used during Season 1. Since the CGI environment is projected live behind the actors, it all has to be prepped in advance of filming.

    From what I've seen of "Unleashed," though, they've also been using a lot of old-fashioned green screen.

  • I'm sure more details will emerge, but:

    Under the legislation, someone who is certified or licensed to perform specific skilled work in a province or territory that wants to take on a job doing the same thing for a federally regulated project will be deemed to have met that federal standard.

    The government says recognizing provincial standards will open up job opportunities to workers and give employers a larger candidate pool to draw upon.

    The bill only recognizes provincial standards at the federal level. Workers certified or licensed in one province that want to work in another will only be able to do so when that province or territory agrees to drop their trade barriers.

    The federal government has rules and standards for businesses on top of regional requirements that apply across provincial and territorial borders.

    Under the legislation, provincial standards for goods and services will be recognized as having already met federal standards. That means a province's organic standards for food, or energy efficiency standards for appliances, will be treated as having met federal standards.

  • If we were to assign each poster to an episode - and I don't know if we should, or if it's more about vibes - here are my guesses.

    "Through the Lens of Time"


    "Wedding Bell Blues"


    "A Space Adventure Hour"


    "Terrarium"


    "Shuttle to Kenfori"

  • Oh wow, it goes deeper than I realized.

    Regardless of which name Edmonton fans prefer, former players Chris Morris, now the team’s president and CEO, and Ed Hervey, now general manager, have brought back the franchise motto: “Once an Esk-mo, Always an Esk-mo.”

    A sign bearing the slogan has been restored above the entrance to the Elks’ locker room.

  • I only caught a small bit of the game live, but I just watched the TSN highlight reel.

    The tribute to Chase Stegall was unexpected, but nice.

    If the Riders can get healthy, they really could be a force to be reckoned with.

    It's hard to tell from what I saw, but the Redblacks didn't look terrible to me. Their run game seemed pretty strong.

    The CFL 110 podcast says they expect a lot of parity across the league this year, so we could be in for some nail-biters.

  • I didn't realize the name change had gone over so badly.

  • regular folks

    I'm not even going to ask what your definition of that is.

    border authorities had the power to open any and all mail weighing over 30 grams, for at least the last 30+ years.

    And now that weight limit has been removed. It used to say, the Corporation may open any mail, other than a letter." Now it says, "the Corporation may open any mail."

    It repeals the portion of the Canada Post Corporation Act that says, "Notwithstanding any other Act or law, but subject to this Act and the regulations and to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, the Customs Act and the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act, nothing in the course of post is liable to demand, seizure, detention or retention," and replaces it with, "Nothing in the course of post is subject to demand, seizure, detention or retention, except in accordance with an Act of Parliament," which is a massive expansion of the circumstances in which it can be done.

    It also rewords the section on liability to ensure that there's...no liability, for anyone, in cases where mail is seized.

    Bill C2 gives police the ability to search mail when authorized in order to carry out a criminal investigation.

    The bottom line is that these should be considered law enforcement activities, but there's no warrant required. Just an "Act of Parliament." There's no probable cause defined here. Maybe you're fine with that. I'm not.

    But let’s not sweat things right now. This was the first reading, and all points of the bill can (and will) be debated. Expect tweaks, repeals, and amendments.

    I agree with you to an extent on this one. But things are more likely to be tweaked if people make some noise.

    Even the original YT video under discussion here said that this bill contains some entirely unobjectionable things. But it also contains things that I agree need another look, and in fact are downright Trumpian in some respects.

  • I think this season - finale aside - was the best season in years, but I still think you made some good points.

    it feels like the Doctor kind of just stands around listening to exposition a lot more in recent seasons

    This was certainly a problem in the last couple of episodes, and Jodie's Doctor did her fair share of that, too. Ncuti's Doctor was also absent a lot in season one ("Dot and Bubble" and "73 Yards" constitute 1/4 of the season!).

  • Okay, if you need it spelled out for you, I didn't say organized crime never involves abuse of the immigration system, postal service, or online service providers. I said the bill reaches well beyond that goal (if indeed that is the goal, which is questionable to say the least).

    Go construct your straw men some place else.

  • all of which reach way beyond organized crime.

    C'mon, don't insult us both by pretending you can't read.

  • So you started with "there's no reason to appease the US," and have now landed on, "they say they're trying to appease the US by giving them things they want, but they don't really mean it"?

    And that ignores all of the other things in this bill that are about immigration, and asylum seekers, and being able to sieze peoples' mail, and forcing online providers to give up user data, all of which reach way beyond organized crime.

  • Unless you're trying to tell me those things aren't in the bill (they are), you haven't said anything at all.

  • If you're going to reply to me, you could at least make an effort to reference a single thing that I said.

  • There’s no reason for us to come up with “draconian” bills to appease to Taco Chicken.

    Maybe you should tell the Public Safety Minister.

    Anandasangaree said Tuesday that Bill C-2 was drafted to contain "elements that will strengthen the relationship" between Canada and the U.S.

    "There are a number of items in the bill that have been irritants for the U.S. so we are addressing some of those issues," he said. "But it's not exclusively about the United States."

  • Of the points raised in the video, which do you think aren't harmful?

    Unilaterally cancelling immigration applications without any real oversight is draconian.

    The video lays out a very concrete example of why the one-year limit on asylum claims is not a great idea.

    I would think that eliminating "barriers" to forcing electronic service providers to hand over user data to law enforcement should be relevant to the interests of most Lemmy users.

    Making it easier for the police to seize and open mail is...concerning.

  • ”Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.” The middle of the battle against the Rev-1 seems like an odd time for Murf to imitate someone complaining about “Star Trek: Discovery”, but he does seem to have things handled.

    I couldn't understand him because he was whispering, and I couldn't see him because it was too dark, and also he was too woke. Is that a Bingo?
