It’s hard for people who haven’t experienced the loss of experts to understand. Not a programmer but I worked in aerospace engineering for 35 years. The drive to transfer value to execs and other stakeholders by reducing the cost of those who literally make that value always ends costing more.

It doesn’t matter. If the CD/DVD works, copy it immediately. If not, so sorry.

"Seventy-five cents of every dollar of capital spending for defence goes to the United States. That's not smart," - Carney Yes! Lets spread it out to those who might be willing and able to defend ournational security so we can continue to support each others' cultures!

Money. It was money.

Any military is inherently an authoritarian organization, which means that it is far more right than left, and that it works constantly to preserve its traditions and hierarchy. It has to resist change that compromises the authority of orders. Otherwise it’s a gang. In order to succeed, military people must be trained to be obedient, and to believe their cause is just, and lawful. The CAF needs to guard against acts and attitudes that are outside of law, while maintaining the necessary ethos. The incidence of “far right” attitudes and activities is low in my opinion but has been dealt with harshly. It ain’t easy being green.

One person can have multiple flights per year. Its still a huge number considering the billions in Asia who never fly.

A disturbing story about exploiting teen vulnerability. Sadly the “experts” offer no practical tips for teens to combat the scammers’ techniques.

I made the switch too! I bought a MacBook! After 40 years of MS OSes, Outlook-online and Windows 11 made me quit. And so far so good!

The smugness on her face probably wasn’t because of this statement, but it’s very easy to imagine her thinking “Now you bad people are going to die for being bad, whilst us good people watch with stony hearts.” Ugh.

None of these facts are wrong. Carney is a top-tier capitalist, no question. The thing is, what are the choices? Three of the Liberal candidates are women. Not gonna win nationally. The other two are unknown MPs. Polievre has no vision, just a strategy of division and dog whistles, á la Prez Chump. It’s getting old fast. The NDP is still a fringe party with “visible minority” leader. Not gonna win nationally. There’s a lot to dislike, and if the Liberals select him, they won’t get my vote. But I think he will be the next PM, and might even win the next election. Unfortunately, I think that will depend significantly on what Chump and the Villionaires do in the next six months. And that is volitile capricious unstable unpredictable!

“devastating” effects? What privileged delusion; “My view will be spoiled by wind turbines ELEVEN MILES offshore!”

BTW that’s nearly 18 kilometers. The horizons is SIX MILES for humans on the beach. Now, if your abode is several stories up from sea level, then maybe, if your sight is very good, you might see some smudges on the horizon. On a clear day. So the advantages of not burning hydrocarbons to power your car and elevator, outweigh your aesthetic of ocean view.

What is with poiice crime shows on every channel, all the time? I mean you lads made Money Python, Red Dwarf, HHGTTG. I know David Attenbourough filled a lot of time with un-depraved scene. Billy Connolly is not available, and Russel Brand is unpalatable, and Ricky Gervais used to be funny in a sad way.

Are Britons so depressed that only the most twisted and obscure motives for grusome crimes can entertain them?

Beginning of the Eugenics Wars, or Great Wars, first came to light in Star Trek TOS S01E22.

Opinions! Just like asholes; everybody’s got one.

What Canuck ever listens to the Russian Amabassador? ( do we even have one?). And now we have two!!
