Thankfully we dodged that bullet already, the Conservative Party of Canada eschewed picking either of our 'Trump'-style Candidates: Kevin O'Leary with his bombastic, CEO brash attitude and Kelly Leech, the 'Canadian-valu

That was a mixed bag. The 2005 electoral reform referendum had 'yes' support of over 57%, however nothing happened because the BC Liberals (who, for our neighbours to the south, are small-c conservatives, not small-l liberals like

But yet, this is how it's done across Canada. Thousands of people plant trees for $0.115 - $0.35 a tree (depending on land, seedling size, etc). Seedlings come in a number of sizes (they survive better than seeds) and humans are suprem

I've followed you on /r/generative for a while, this produces some really cool output. I've been interested in getting more into generative art, I just always get lost trying to find a way in.

This excites me. I work with a lot of geospatial industry tools, many mobile tools are still based on old window CE/pocket PC/windows mobile platforms; I hope to see these snapdragon devices overtake this area. Mobile data collect

Have you tried wunderlist? My partner and I have a shared shopping list that we both can populate and finish items from—offers a bit more structure and to-do type item features than Keep.

Yeah, this stinks. I despise fake currency created to form a disconnect between the real-world costs of items and their "in-game" price. It's used as a form of manipulation—and if that wasn't the original intent then the
