> Hegseth is a moron who shouldn’t have been hired Also true of Bondi, Noem, Bergum, RFK Jr, Patel, Carr, that podcaster who was at the FBI for 5 minutes, ... Almost seems like the guy who hired them has no idea what he's doing.

Often described as ignorant, he changed over 300 Wadiyan words to “Aladeen” including the words “positive” and “negative” causing mass confusion.

Can't comment without knowing more specifically what you're comparing. Massive variation across both provinces, of course. The standard unit in rural Alberta is the quarter section - 160 acres (half mile by half mile). Greater Edm

I think it is more that land is comparatively cheap. Edmonton and Calgary are incredibly sprawly cities, with effectively infinite room to grow. Contrast with Vancouver, which is hemmed in by ocean, mountains, and a border.

Do you hold it in your hand in public? Far more risk of it being easily snatched while unlocked.

Some newer road bikes have it too. Canyon Endurace and Trek Domane, for example

Thanks, hasn't been a problem for me. ~15,000km with this phone. Tens of thousands more on older phones all the way back to the 5s. Which of course wasn't nearly as good: no always-on display and had to use the Quad Lock "pon

Cool project. Not sure I'd use it, as my iPhone works quite well for this purpose. iPhones have had always on display since the 14 Pro and 17, and they've had good water resistance since forever. No problem reading it under any co

Curious. Do you think orange man not bad here? Y’all good with a president who changes a 400 year old name on a hissy fit and spends his days shitposting at the level of "dumb teenage boy"?

By far not the most impactful, of course. But a remarkable demonstration of how rotten America has become, simply because it is so stupid.

President Grandpa Simpson is an embarrassment that America will never recover from.

Agreements approved by Congress are more politically and legally durable than something simply signed by the executive. Especially when the executive is as dishonest and capricious as this one is. CUSMA was approved by Congress in the middl

Interesting. For me it was Goldeneye (of course) and Diddy Kong Racing.

I don’t remember this game at all - and there weren’t many N64 games, especially in the first couple of years.

Assert claims? I know a lot of the deals are vague/incomplete executive directives; not treaties ratified by congress. But I don't know about all of them - maybe Congress approved a deal with the penguins that Trump tariffed? So I

Of course it is fair to single out Trump. No other president has pursued this strategy. In the case of Canada, there was the original free trade agreement (Reagan), NAFTA (Bush I/Clinton), and even CUSMA (Trump I). All approved by Cong

The US isn't even following its own rules. The "liberation day" tariffs were illegal.

> I do take issue with the lack of honesty where folks pretend that we had these free trade schemes without any barriers right up until Trump got elected again. It's simply untrue. Which folks are these? The original Canada/US

Pretty handwavy. Surely you can come up with something more specific?

Along with choice comes complexity. More things to break, security problems, distractions, etc. Purpose-built devices like the Kindle and Switch do one thing well; this looks like it does a lot more things but mostly poorly. Everyone alread

Cool, but in the way the computers on Silo and Severance are cool. Not "I'd actually use this" cool.

Maybe things have changed, but my memory of MySQL ~15 years ago was that it was so... hacky. Basically, the (non-strict) JavaScript of the RDBMS world.
