Yeah, 99% of incels (at least the ones I know about, mostly because they hit the news) have an obvious mental health tick or manifestation that turns off potential romantic partners. These people are being excluded (rightly or wrongly) bec

iOS/iPhones are the majority of phones in Canada and the US (~60%). However, if you take the upper half of household incomes that number skyrockets to 80-90%. Comparatively, in the UK it's 50/50. In the rest of europe andro

I really do wonder if outright financial fraud was occurring. There was a period of time where they were going through CFOs like water over Niagara Falls (whom I assume were refusing to sign off on the books?).

It's camaraderie. Some of the best professional relationships I've had were in terribly run organizations with like-minded peers. I don't know why, but strong bonds form in those situations (and taken to the extreme in the m

I 100% agree. We can't do everything ourselves, but we need to be serious about things. It's also going to mean several very hard decisions. There's going to need to be some choices between [tax cuts if you're from the

My personal opinion is that we should cautiously move forward with the F-35 and either way start moving to diversify future orders long-term. The Gripen is wrong for Canada unless we actually do think we'll be invaded by the US and nee

It's been that way for awhile, though they do use instagram and/or tiktok for consumption. iMessage is (was?) a very sticky product for Apple as kids with android get cut out of chats. There's nothing worse for teens that ex

Finding those companies is hard, especially when there's an obvious winner. Hell, I'd have joined facebook (not in hindsight, though) in the early 2000s because the specific challenges they were facing would have been novel. That

IIRC, he borrowed against them for a lot of stuff, including the Twitter acquisition. It's probably why he's freaking out a bit and returning to it. It's also not the first time he's had liquidity problems. Tesla liter

I think the US defence industry really is going to be hurting for awhile for the trustworthiness reason alone. The Patriot was under-promised and over-delivered as shown in Ukraine (the Americans seemed happy to let people think that its t

If this were true, Argentina would be super rich and Singapore would be super poor. But it is not because just “keeping a dollar in your country” chasing less productive work/goods causes productivity and competitive problems the more

By that argument we should do that with everything. Maybe...with tariffs? /s Doing that is more expensive and means we get us less for more - and we'd almost still rely on other countries for components and resources. All being

Yeah, I was trying to remain in scope to defence-related issues, but I don't disagree with you. I'm holding out some small sliver of hope that all the recent geopolitical events will finally wake us up, but I'm not holding m

Killing it was the right call for the wrong reasons. But because it was the wrong reasons, it meant that no attention was paid on investing the tech into a new plane or resources. Diefenbaker being "suckered" by the Americans is

As a Canadian, I have mixed feeling about this. You can develop and build domestic defence industries, but it only becomes economical if you can develop an export market. Even then, the inputs for parts/resources are still global. Sw

Canada *can* export its oil and natural gas, but mostly doesn't because the economics haven't historically warranted it. Most Canadian Oil is relatively heavy, which the gulf refineries in the US are tailored to refine when mixed

I've heard descriptions of hell of everything from the classic "fire and torture" we all know, to it being a total and complete detachment from god (in a disappointed and kicked out of the house by your parents kind of way).

Yeah, that could be a problem. Even modern trains often now have multiple locomotives (including in the middle of train sets) to deal with range/weight, so who knows. There’s no reason hybrid trains can’t have multiple locomotives or
