My BIL still gives his weight in "stone". As in, "I'm 12 stone, 7 lbs and 3 ounces".

I joke with him that only makes sense to people who are comfortable with Pounds, Shillings and Pence, too.

Shoot both. The JPEG's take up negligible space and are good if you need something "at the moment" for a purpose or to share. You can also compare your finished product to what the camera would have done by itself.

I'm guessing that the "cheese" component wasn't actually what anyone outside of the USA would call cheese.

I don't think so. The mail is delivered to the Proton mail server via unencrypted SMTP and then sent on to the client encrypted. The secure layer is between the client and the server. It might also be stored on the server encrypted.

Email is unsecure as hell in any event, but I think the idea is that once it's delivered, it's secured.

Isn't Proton supposed to be end to end encryption between crient and server? And wouldn’t that rule out IMAP?

Not saddest, just worst.

Exactly, manage the outcomes, not the people.

And don't forget, this is pretty sensitive stuff. So you have to make sure that it's a well built website or it's going to be a disaster. It's not just a page, it has to have some kind of content system behind it that non-programming staff can interact with and keep up to date.

Officially? I thought that they were going on a vote by vote basis. In that case, given that the CPC will always vote against the government, when something comes up that both the Bloc and the NDP are against it becomes a race to say who will vote against it first. This forces the other party to vote for something they dislike, or suffer an election (at least for confidence motions).

So, would a longer time to a leadership vote mean that the NDP would have to shore up the Liberal minority to prevent an election until after they pick a new leader?

To explain for those not in Canada... It is usual in Canada for a job to start with a low level of PTO an then add a week every few years that you stay with the company. This usually is capped at 6 weeks.

You can, of course negotiate an amount of PTO when you accept a job. Someone coming into a more senior position wouldn't expect to start with just two weeks of PTO.

I just assumed it was a reference to Klaus Barbie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Barbie?wprov=sfla1
