Well, that stuff is pretty much just water, so it’s ok.

It’s not so complicated. We need economic partnerships with the U.S. and we also need economic partnerships with other countries.

They guy is doing everything he can to diversify away from the U.S. Yes, he also needs to promote US trade as it is and will continue to be a very significant part of the Canadian economy (look at a map if you want to see why). Canada’s economy is in a very precarious position. We need to pull out all the stops to survive. That may include some deals with the U.S., allowing some unfortunate environmental impacts, and less progressive financial policies than we might want. But we have to keep the ship afloat if we want to steer it.

"We need to build new trade relationships in order to move from reliance to resilience,” the prime minister said.

At the same time, we should be trading with the U.S. if they’re not being dicks about it.

The word is “acshully”

Most modern cars have a number recalls. My Kia telluride just had one about some bit of trim that might fall off and make a highway hazard. It’s not like they have to replace the whole car, it’s just a fix. I doubt there are many models that have zero recalls.
173 is a bit crazy for a car production line, but not so surprising considering how ugly and useless the thing is.

Yes, Elon is a dick. But this is hardly novel. Car recalls related to wheel assembly issues are pretty common e.g. Mercedes and Toyota and plenty of others. In this case Tesla identified this strain based issue in preproduction testing but failed to apply the eco to production due to a management error and then discovered it in audits and then issued the recall. No accidents or even any definitive customer issues occurred from this. So now the customers just have to go in to the dealer for a fix, which is a pain but they still end up going in for service way less than with any ice. Hate Tesla all you want, but don’t fabricate garbage engineering outrage.

Mentally disabled or not, these people are destroying the country. They are hurting lots of other people. They should know better. They have made a choice to be that way and refuse to change even with the brutal consequences made very clear. If they won’t see reason they deserve ridicule.
We don’t say ‘oh the poor Nazis, they were mentally disabled’ - no, we fought them and sacrificed big time to destroy their evil ways.

Well they gave them time to download the full source code base, and steal office supplies. So that’s kinda nice.

Always do!

But would you really regret screaming ‘he helped to kill your family’? I think it would be awesome … unless there’s a significant inheritance at stake.

It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see…" “You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?” “No,” said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, “nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.” “Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.” “I did,” said Ford. “It is.” “So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t people get rid of the lizards?” “It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.” “You mean they actually vote for the lizards?” “Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.” “But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?” “Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?” “What?” “I said,” said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, “have you got any gin?” “I’ll look. Tell me about the lizards.” Ford shrugged again. “Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happenned to them,” he said. “They’re completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone’s got to say it.” “But that’s terrible,” said Arthur. “Listen, bud,” said Ford, "if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say ‘That’s terrible’ I wouldn’t be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin.

My bad

Went through this myself. My father was a physics prof, and at some point he couldn’t really follow what I was doing at work. It was sad, but we all get there. Then a few years beck, he was late 80’s, my daughter asked him for help with some 1st year calculus and I was about to hop in and help him save face but he taught it like a pro, clear understanding of where she was stuck and how to guide her to figuring it out. And pointing out a couple of algebra errors in some other stuff that just caught his eye in her work. But at the same time, he’s hopeless at recognizing scams. He hasn’t fallen for anything yet, but forwards emails or texts to me asking if things are legit when they are so obviously not. Just got to be patient and understanding. We all get there eventually if we make it that far.

You want a cat sized version of this? Nightmare fuel.

Shared bike paths. If I have to nearly stop to go around a kid on a tricycle it’s no big deal since I can get back up to speed with no effort. But without the electric boost I’m more tempted to fly by to keep my speed up.

Ok, I’m in. But I should probably warn you I’m a 55 y/o fat guy.

I think you cracked it!

Hmmmm. The management people denied entry actually have pretty dubious histories of calling for bloodshed publically. The players aren’t being denied entry (yet).

Just being pendantic about your phrase of ‘produce condensation’. The mist has already condensed; it is condensation, so it cannot produce condensation.
