  • Nearly a third of Canadians believe U.S. may try to invade Canada: poll

  • I’ve started preparing for my HAM radio license. Figure communications might become very important at some point in the future. License because I’ll be able to learn things before… well, before I won’t be concerned about a license.

  • Valve makes almost $50 million per employee, raking in more cash per person than Google, Amazon, or Microsoft — gaming giant's 350 employees on track to generate $17 billion this year

    Jump

  • Buddy. Take a breath for a moment. I mean this constructively; it's an opportunity to learn.

    What you've just said here is essentially this:

    1. Some journalists sometimes make errors.
    2. Therefore I choose to make an interpretive error.

    Please remember, we all make errors (myself included). The best of us learn from them.

  • So this just happened in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦. A driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of his vehicle, got upset at her, before leaving the scene

    Jump

  • What do you do? You can’t detain the girl. So she leaves and what? You call the cops and say “I fucked up and hit someone with my van.” Who does that help? Now shes lost in the crowd. You can’t just stay there, so you drive away. What else is there to do?

    Even if every charitable assumption you've made is correct, you and every reasonable person knows exactly what he should have done.

    You said it yourself. You man up, you call the cops, you tell them “I fucked up and hit someone with my van”, and that there is a human being that needs help. That's it. That's what you do. That's what every single person should have done.

    It seems to me you're trying to engage in healthy dialogue, but "That's a ragebait title" is just not true; the headline does, in fact, summarize events rather well.

    The adult, the driver of the car, that hit and injured another human, let alone a kid, bears 100% of blame and took none of the responsibility.

  • Jimmy Kimmel Pulled “Indefinitely” By ABC After Over Charlie Kirk Comments

    Jump

  • Someone needs to DM to remind me (if you’re interested), but I built a pretty clever stack with all the arrs, a failsafe vpn network tunnel, dynamic dns, deluge, Jellyfin, jellyseer, reverse proxy. The works.

    It’s dead simple to use (my mother runs it no problem). There is a semi-manual setup process, but a few mildly tech literate friends got it running in a couple hours.

    Built for Windows, all deployed on docker. Works fine on Linux/Mac also.

    The reason I’m not sharing it in this comment is I never intended to share it publicly and want to ensure my repo is sanitized of any PII.

    If you’d like, hit me up sometime.

  • You can literally just see where any ship in the world is

    Jump

  • What a blast from the past!!!!! I worked on that ship for 4.5 months back in 2003 when it was the MSY Windsurf. Played the piano in the Lounge. Thanks for the smiles my friend!!! :)

  • Poilievre may lose his Ottawa-area riding as Liberals poised to sweep the region

    Jump

  • Not only are there other candidates in PP’s riding, there happens to be about 90 of them!

    That’s right, there’s about 90 people running for MP in Ottawa-Carleton. And I find that to be rather funny.

    The advocacy group Longest Ballot, which tries to get as many candidates as possible on a ballot to call attention to the idea of an independent electoral reform process, told CBC News it is targeting Carleton.

    Because of this, there are about 90 candidates on the final ballot.

  • Eurozone current services trade deficit with the US.

    Jump

  • Nah man. You’re good. Just trying to explain and be helpful.

  • Eurozone current services trade deficit with the US.

    Jump

  • Motivations behind actions matter. Reducing trade with the US may have several justifications. Among these are to “balance a trade deficit” and “to isolate America financially”.

    So, while the actions taken to reduce trade with the US may be the same for both justifications, there is a distinction to be made as to the justification for said actions.

  • Sleepy racist dotard

    Jump

  • What gets me about this photo is how fundamentally unserious the whole scene appears. The body language of nearly everyone, the lack of focus, the shabbiness of it all… just embarrassing. I’ve seen high school clubs looking more competent and serious.

    I know this is just an aesthetics thing, but it gets to me. 🤷

  • New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country

    Jump

  • Believe it or not, it’s a Sobey’s, so big chain. I was pleasantly surprised that it happened so quickly. I don’t know if my local store is representative of the chain though.

  • At my grocery store in Canada each Canadian product has a Canadian Flag next to each shelf price sticker. Makes it easy to know what to grab.

  • Your Song by Elton John & Bernie Taupin

    Jump

  • I appreciate your graciousness; Elton is an impossibly high standard for anyone to be compared to 😜.

    I’m glad I could give you those goosebumps. Made my day! 🫶🙏

  • JD Vance falsely claims Donald Trump didn’t lose 2020 election

    Like, most of the time I do.

    Just not in this particular instance.

    Jump

  • Nice pic. I’m a little jealous that you’ve been able to see it yourself, but mostly glad to know some people are getting the chance and taking the opportunity. Cheers! 😀

  • If you have binoculars you should try using them. It’s not so much about the magnification, but rather the amount of light collected. Basically, the diameter of the objective lens is bigger than your own eyeball lenses/irises, so therefore more light is collected and projected to your retina while using binoculars.

    I’m in western Canada right now and have so far not had the right conditions to see it myself. I’m hoping that might change in the next day or two.

  • Authors problem.

    Jump

  • I agree wholeheartedly. Maybe there’s an alternative funding model for authors, and artists generally, that could be imagined and built. I’d be surprised if there’s not already some great ideas floating out there; but if there are, I don’t know them.
