Not really; he matches the description of one of the minor henchmen that precedes The Beast.

Any drawback doing too much stair climbing?

If you do it before running, your muscles can be over-stressed at the start of a run, increasing risk of impact injuries. So make sure to give yourself recovery time after stairs before you do a hard run again.

Done in this way, you can build up your support muscles which will actually decrease the risk of running injuries.

That’s what I do… my running route has flights of stairs in it.

It’s too bad the full extent of my bitterness can’t show through in my previous statement; that’s not the country I hoped to live in, but it seems to be the one I do live in.

That said, I’ve lived in provincial and federal Conservative ridings for the past 26 years. I have no illusions about my neighbours’ political leanings, or the infinitesimal influence my vote has.

If the NDP chose a new, outspoken leader who was a straight white male, they might have a chance.

How does this benefit him though? Having the ports open benefits the country and the executive class at the expense of the employees, but it doesn’t directly affect Trudeau.

It DOES benefit Pollievre though.

It usually takes a Canadian Bacon moment where the US actually tries to take part of our sovereign territory by force.

Of course, that’s assuming Trump doesn’t get his wish and Pollievre becomes PM. Because in that case, we’ll likely be too busy fighting our own fascist battles up here to even respond.

True… I still regularly use my 2008 17” MBP and it’s always the RAM that’s the limiting factor.

This is fine to me… 2026 is the year I start looking to replace my M1. I usually go 5-7 years between refreshes.

The way DNS works, each dot is authoritative.

So if you want the IPv4 for scam.legitco.com, your computer contacts the authoritative DNS for “com” and asks it for the address for legitco’s DNS. You then contact legitco.com and ask it for scam’s IP. Which it won’t have.

This is simplified, because in reality there’s DNS caching and pooling, but that wouldn’t affect your scenario. Although, cache poisoning IS a thing, as is BGP hijacking where the IP of the DNS itself may get redirected to a different machine.

Less than 1,000?

Register to get on the voting list whenever you want; once you’re registered, you’ll be notified of any municipal, provincial or federal elections via a card in the mail.

Options will differ depending on your riding, as we vote for our representative, not the PM/Premier etc.

Check online to see what your riding is for provincial/federal elections, and who won last time. Decide if you agree with their platform, and if you don’t, look at what the other representatives in your riding had as a platform (their websites should all still be up). Check Wikipedia to learn more about the people.

All that should take about 20-30 minutes, after which you’ll be decently informed before the next election comes around.
