I had this exact idea... when I was 7. That was before I was introduced to newtonian physics.

I agree that the Liberals should absolutely be put in the penalty box, as any government should after being in office for 10 years.

And still the alternative is far worse. A rudderless, directionless group with no actual policy and no interest in accountability or transparency. Worse, with instincts that mimic the existential threat to Canada's sovereignty.

Carney is a guy that seems singularly equipped for this moment. We'd be fools not to take advantage of that.

Trans activists are going about this all wrong. Instead of sending someone like Marcy in to violate the law, they need to do this:

Send in the biggest, burliest, hairiest ftm trans dudes into busy ladies rooms, the room that the state insists he must now legally use. And record the reaction of the women and girls leaving for broadcast media. Because by focussing on mtf trans in ladies rooms, I really feel the dipshits that make these laws haven't thought their cunning plans through very fully.

All the well deserved vitriol aside, there's a really straightforward explanation for this. The Maroun family owns the competing Ambassador bridge, and has been using it to extort cross border traffic for a generation now. This competition is bad for them. And guess what? They're Trump donors. So this is just standard, run-of-the-mill gangster capitalism again.

Publicly funded fibre can be provider agnostic. Starlink can't. Unless Musk is arguing for the nationalization of Starlink, which frankly I could get behind.

Well, as a garden hose drinker from back in the day, I'm here to tell you that it was run through a filter. It's just that that filter was back at the water treatment plant. Same thing with public water fountains, which were everywhere. We're not that goddamned tough. We weren't slurping pond water through a straw or something like that.

After 30 years of marriage, my wife floated the idea of turning this on. I looked at her like she had two heads.

Why would anyone be willfully surveilled? You know its not just your partner that has access to that data when you have location services enabled.

I would presume it's because they're low in sugar. Due to exploding diabetes rates, Mexico has been making a concerted effort in the last few years to stem the consumption of sugary foods, drinks and snacks, particularly amongst kids. You can't have a cartoon mascot on a box of cereal, for example. They put big stickers over Tony the Tiger before changing the packaging completely. And the cost of snack foods has skyrocketed, making it largely unaffordable for lots of Mexican families. A bag of chips there costs more than it does in North America.

My guess is that this is part of that effort.

I'm also self employed. My boss is a slave-driving narcissistic cunt, but that fucker still lets me go golfing whenever I want.

Stoopid Texans. You've got the guns, start using the things. If they need cooling, maybe aerate a few blocks of servers for them.

People talk about China's energy use like it's not* their* energy use. They used that power to produce the stupid shit that you bought, dumbass. You're responsible for that energy use, despite it being generated in China.

That was a very compelling speech that Representative Howell gave. That there were 40 that still voted in favourite after having the obviously dangerous language in the bill is kinda frightening.

I didn't see through to the end because Rossman was making the same point over and over and over and over. But what he didn't talk about is that Netflix specifically does not provide the highest tier of quality to PCs. That's to prevent piracy of super high quality streams. The blockage is very much intentional and not without cause. Similarly, Netflix often does not play well with a whole host of Android streaming devices over which they have no control of the stream for exactly the same reason.

I agree with him otherwise, I just wish he'd have gone into those reasons. Your super fast gaming rig being 'not compatible' has nothing to do with its impressive hardware specs.

Probably not top ten of mind, but Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has been trotted out by the fossil fuel industry for a generation as a panacea for carbon emissions, in order to prevent any real legislation limiting the combustion of hydrocarbons.

Absolutely. I lost my 15 year account for using the phrase 'burn it all down' entirely metaphorically. They really, really didn't like Canadians pushing back. Fuck those guys.

I hope Reddit dies in a fire, and not a metaphorical one. One with the ownership group literally aflame. And I'd like to roast marshmallows over that fire.
