Ask yourself… If Putin was President of America and wanted to destroy 200 years of progress, who would he put in charge of the various departments… And then this all makes sense.

Is it anything like multi-threaded xz – in that you’re trading encoding speed for size?

Goose… Geese.

Moose… Meese.

I do my best to check as I’m putting things into my cart, but also double-check at the checkout. I caught a few things that had ‘Canada’ on the front of the box (“#1 brand in Canada!”) that was actually made in the USA. I put it aside at the checkout. Putting it aside at the checkout and demonstrating to others that you won’t buy American is encouragement for others to do the same.

His history / record shows otherwise.

Like when he promised Twitter an employees a ‘buy out’ package, then stiffed all of them for upwards of $500M dollars, then won the subsequent court battle, fucking over thousands of people.

It creates a cost for spammers. They have to have an account with a Telco, which isn’t free, which in a lot of countries comes with some sort of National ID to register. That’s the reason.

Shocked! Shocked I say!

Well, not that shocked.

Translation: He’s the fox, knows the fox, or is under the influence of the fox, already knows, and he’s TOTALLY fine with it because it confers money or power on him.

Honestly, building a mail server isn’t that hard if you aren’t afraid of the command line.

My building’s AC failed when it was supposed to be started up in May about a decade ago. The condo ended up buying a portable AC unit for each apartment – some people were pissed because they had to pay the electricity to operate it. We asked them if they’d like us to take the unit back, and 100% of them said no. :)

It was an awful summer, but the A/C was replaced with a new modern unit, and not only was it better, but it used about half the power of the 30 year old unit.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall when CSIS shows him printouts of his communications or the balances of bank accounts he’s been trying to hide.

It’s a tough job, and it should be paid well. When I was a kid, my brother in law was a postie, and made a decent living. He had a house, a nice car, and could take two vacations a year. Nobody can afford that shit, even unionized.

And remember – a rising tide lifts all boats – if they get a good deal, it makes it easier for others to get a better deal.

The seaway union negotiated hard, and got a very good increase, better benefits, and management agreed to increase their workforce so there was less overtime. It cost management tens of millions in losses that it didn’t need to lose.

As much as I dislike all politicians, JT is the least-awful of the available options.

I’d actually support him if he’d delivered on the promise of electoral reform. Sacrificing the ability of liberals to have a majority in the future for the stability of our political system SHOULD have been the altruistic choice.

That, and raising the minimum wage at the federal level would have elinimated a lot of the economic problems we’re having – homelessness, poverty, people getting fucking scurvy in the year 2024.

Times are tough

If only there were someone in charge who could do things that would make things ‘not so tough’… Like increasing minimum wage, encouraging unionization, improving healthcare… and taking millionaires and billionaires to pay for it…

Time to give your local addicts bus fare to Etobicoke. Let Doug deal with it in his own back yard.

I mean, if I were an opponent of the USA, I’d be celebrating. Putin and Xi accomplished the total and complete destruction of the USA by simply amplifying the worst voices. No shots fired, no military deployment. Osama bin Laden would be spinning in his grave if he weren’t buried at sea.

Yup, this is a 30 minute job - dig a hole (preferably from the upwind side) beside the critter, roll it into said hole, bury it. If you want to keep critters out, have your local dude urinate around it every day. It’ll be gone in the spring.

A broken voting system, plus weaponized apathy. He got 66+% of the seats in Ontario’s Parliament with 17% of eligible voters choosing their local conservative candidate.

Published polls for MONTHS before the election showed he was going to win by a landslide – so people stayed home, thinking it was pointless. They’re doing it in the USA right now with slanted polls showing it’s a toss-up, even though exit polls show that the majority of early voters are women.

Ha. I’m going to take a bunch of edibles and listen to music on my old school iPod and sleep 12+ hours.
