Apple is what Microsoft wishes it could be (minus the difference in market share). That’s personally why I won’t give Apple any of my money. Really not interested in that locked down ecosystem.

Yup. OpenSUSE here.

I think it’s also going to depend on who the Liberals pick. I think Carney will have a better chance of winning than Freeland.

I switched to contacts when I got a job where I am required to wear safety glasses. Contacts + the normal plastic glasses is just easier to deal with than having to get and replace prescription safety glasses.

Ironically, with our reactors, it’s actually easier to make weapons materials than it is to make them go boom. It’s one of the reasons why we never sell them to non-nuclear nations.

That’s honestly what worries me the most. I’m pretty sure any actual conflict will look an awful lot like a civil war, and any student of history knows how incredibly bloody those tend to get.

We don’t have them, we just have all the knowledge, skills, and resources to make one.

We could probably whip one up in a month or so. We have all the technology and manufacturing capabilities required. And if CSIS doesn’t have some blueprints squirreled away somewhere, I’m going to be surprised and disappointed.

I’m definitely curious to see what happens in the polls when we find out who the Liberals choose. I don’t get the impression that people really trust Poilievre to handle Trump.

From the recent polls I’ve been seeing, Trump has apparently reminded a lot of conservative voters that they are Canadian. When asked how we should respond to Trump’s tariffs, “equal retaliation” and “escalation” combined for like 80%.

This whole thing seems to have poked that button we have where we can watch a hockey game, see someone start a fistfight over a perceived slight, and consider that a perfectly reasonable response.

Personally, I just don’t ask questions I don’t want the answer to.

It will be WWIII either way. A US civil war would leave a massive power vacuum, and a whole bunch of candidates trying to fill it.

Wait I need more details about this sandwich based political spectrum. What does it mean if I refuse to have a pulled pork sandwich without coleslaw on it?

Canada may hold out longer than you think. “Go fuck yourself Trump.” seems to be the prevailing public sentiment.

Pretty low I’d say. They’ll just ignore the ruling like they always do.

Maybe he’s just mad that his wife and daughter never looked at him the way they looked at Trudeau.

Maybe I just don’t Google easy questions, but I have never had that AI overview give me the answer I wanted.

“International Law” is much different thing from normal law. There is no real enforcement mechanism, so it’s very much a case of “might makes right”. In this particular case, it sounds like Trump pulled funding, which is not the same as shutting it down, even if the effect on the refugees is the same.

I can’t think of a single problem that heroin offers to solve.

That’s waaay more effort, and I am so very lazy.
