5 feet would inundate Miami.

Actually old enough before the election. I was under that misapprehension, as well.

All the sane countries can do their elections in less than a year, possibly because the stagecoach is no longer the best transportation or communication option. If you guys didn't run it like American Fucking Idol, maybe it wouldn't be this difficult.

Now I'll go sit in the corner and hope for the best for you guys while waiting to see if my country shits the bed in a year.

Yet. Their TVs, on the other hand, will do everything in their power to go online. Their phones just had an update to their software where the privacy policy is basically "We need access to all your data if you want to use anything beyond the base functionality." So, given the trends, no, I don't put it past them.

I know, just closing all the loopholes for the Olympic-class deniers.

Which is definitely a problem, and could be a reason to not buy newer vehicles, but is a silly reason to not buy EVs.

He doesn't really need to. With the notwithstanding clause, he can just say, "That's really nice, but we're still going to do it." It's worth noting that it's only been used 5 times, never at the federal level, and always controversial.

I believe one of France's kings had aluminum dinnerware back when it was still hard to make. Fun times.

I only do phone calls when I'm in a situation where I can't look at a screen, such as driving. Otherwise, if it's not in person, it's text or video. And, given my personality, it's usually text for most people.

I honestly don't put it past Samsung. Their TVs already do. I have an old monitor, and I'm currently using what will probably be my last smartphone from them. They make good hardware, but I'm tired of them insisting on knowing everything I do to use it.

Okay, but what does any of that have to do with Meta?

You should read the saga of when MS bought Hotmail. The work they had to do to be able to run it on Windows was incredible. It actually helped MS improve their server OS, and it still wasn't as performance when they switched over.
