I honestly want to know what the game plan is for the 100 men. Like do you plan on knocking out the 400 pound animal with a spin kick to the head or what?

Also, it's only cheap because huge companies are losing billions subsidizing it. The reason factories aren't entirely automated is because few companies can justify spending a billion dollars to fully automate their assembly line. I work at a factory where one machine outputs product single file and the next machine requires the product come in double file. The company pays a worker to stand on the line and split the output from the one machine into two lines.

I figured that would be super easy to automate but one of the engineers explained the company only gives money to do something if they can prove the money will generate a huge return, and automating that part simply doesn't generate a big enough return to justify the cost. If a machine breaks down 1 hour a day they'll fix that before replacing a worker. A machine can generate $100,000 an hour, so it being down an hour each day is a loss of $100,000 per day. Replacing a worker saves the company $250 a day. Replacing the worker that splits 1 line into 2 lines isnt a priority. Keeping machines at 100% uptime is what the focus is.

Hilarious that a bunch of Albertans that hate Ottawa politicians are about to vote in an Ottawa politician.

Also, the guy is Daigo Dojima from the Yakuza series and is the mob boss for the Tojo Clan which at one point had 30,000 members and controled the Kanto region of Japan.

I'm a former mortician. The pope's body will be displayed in an open casket for a very long time so it practically needs to be pickled. That level of preservation comes at the cost of the body becoming as stiff as a peice of furniture and the skin having a greyish tone.

There's a lot of Conservative infighting right now. It's a big tent party and not everyone in it cares about fighting "radical woke liberals". It'll be at least a month, if not longer, before an open seat gets a by-election and there's always the chance people in that riding will have have lost confidence in Poilievre. At the same time, while Poilievre waits for another chance at a seat, the Conservatives will need to name a current MP the leader of the official opposition. Why not just have that person be the new party leader?

The past two Conservative leaders, Scheer and O'Toole, were forcibly ejected from the leadership spot by the party after their loss. The party will be kicking someone out for sure, but it seems like a toss up between a loser (Poilievre) and a winner (MP who won a landslide victory). It'll be interesting to see who gets the proverbial "axe".

Save you a click: No leaders claimed the election was rigged.

I wish the turnout was higher, but I get it. Before voting I checked on how close the race in my riding was. It wasn't. The Conservative candidate was projected to win a landslide victory with 99% confidence. I regret looking because it made me not even want to go out and vote. I did anyways thinking maybe there'll be way more voters than normal this year. There wasn't. The Conservative candidate won a landslide victory. Just like last election, and the one before that, and the one before that. I wasn't even born yet the last time this riding wasn't held by a Conservative. FPTP voting sucks.
