This is just the delusions of a deranged man. No country can e perpetually at war. Eventually, something gives way, and there's no way Russia will ever win a war with the West.

What's Google created in a garage? Seems like working from home works. 😜

I almost did myself, but then I looked up the term,and I realized that Linux is exactly that. For me, it's because I thought I knew what the term meant. I thought that it advocated for state owned software, because communism is all about state controlled property.

So, I was wrong.

I think that the government isn't moving aggressively on this file because if they did, there would be a massive correction and many landlords would go bankrupt. It would be political suicide.

I think what they are hoping for is that the correction will happen organically and gradually so that they are not blamed for the fallout and so that the impact is diminished. The problem is, I don't think that people can hold out and regardless, there will be some pain for all groups. The damage is already done, and fixing this will be painful.

I'm a federal public servant, and I can tell you that in the 28 years I've been in government, this kind of leadership is very common. There's no accountability because there's nothing that really can be done in the current system. There would have to be a serious overhaul in how government manages poor performance, particularly when it comes to executives.

The Canadian tax payer is the bag holder here.

I think the real danger is Trump winning... or getting so close that the election is a toss-up... or very close to that. I worry that the results will be thrown into question and that will tear America apart.

Thanks Blackrock and Vanguard.

Another example of the rich buying their way out of crimes.

If the penalty for crimes is a fine, the law only applies to the poor.

The Americans had better get really serious about saving their democracy because it's about to run off of a cliff. If Trump gets reelected, he's going to go after democrats HARD.

I agree. But if we're being completely honest, Pollievre is a populist. He'd sell his soul to the devil to be PM.

It stands for Real Simple Syndicate. It's just an XML file that allows people of other websites to propagate indo provided by another.

It's definitely corporations. It has been for a long time. I knew that corporations were pushing up housing prices for at least 10 years.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a reliable KVM switch that is capable of doing dual monitor DisplayPort 2.0. I'm looking to do 4k@120Hz. I know DP 2.0 might be overkill, but I just need it to work well.

I have a CKL KVM switch that is DP 1.4. It's supposed to do what I want but my screens keep cutting out when I push the GPU. It could be my cables, but I have a feeling I'm going to need to get a better switch. The CKL brand doesn't have a great reputation from the reviews I've seen.

Any suggestions?
