Damn. If it wasn't you I was gonna dunk a bit.

Like. "Get ready, because they teach kids. Also, they hold back the ones who don't pass. So they won't leave them behind so much as Keep them behind."

And, you know, I'd leave some grammar bits in there too.

I just wanna say I hope you can get clear and being the family to safety. I worry it's harder with any pre-existing conditions - it's brutal to get into Canada with even diabetes - but I hope you can make it.

Good luck.

The others will follow later.

Said a different way:

"In Trump's America, rapists get to choose their baby's mama"

If that's horrific to you too, sorry. See you at the support meeting later where we will be taking money to help people and companies relo to CO or NY where rights are temporarily enshrined regionally where even reinstating "Chevron" should preserve the for a while.

If people who've terminated a pregnancy in NYC go to FL, or even get on a long domestic flight, are they at risk of arrest when they enter or pass through the confederate states?

Psst. Go look up beautiful places like ucluelet and shawnigan and Renfrew and angle hard for a 100% remote job. My dear friend got hers and moved to a place with great internet and vastly reduced hassle. I so envy her ;-)

Yeesh. Can confirm. c$4/sqft/mo in the V3L.

c$1.6m for a moldy (no res permit) fully detached that's been there since WW1. Gonna need gutting and remediating for about c$.3m but it looks good in photos.

But verrry little snow to mess up the frail subway.

Come up and get sworn in. We're at risk of a populist conservative wank ruining the things we hold dear and we could use more sanity.

On the island in western Canada they have a yearly tradition of going into the mountains and snowboarding around and then travelling an hour or so to the coast and kayaking. Little cold for surfing but they do that too.

Wait until you hear them speak. It's music. Can't nearly comprehend it, like you were dropped into St John's , blind drunk, but they certainly love the language with each syllable.

Jacinda got booted, though, and they're on a conservative swing for a bit. Standard post-covid bellyaching leveraged by some slick populist full of lies and scams, but they're not going to give away the country - ahem - before they claw their sanity back.

I hear they're fighting some gaijin racism in the cities, as they maintain a strong "us" vs "not us" awareness and it can get tricky.

Yep, that's my list too. My nephew went to NZ but I've been to a few nordics and I can confirm life is easier there. More taxes, way better life: economies of scale, my dood.

The best one I've seen is the one with the deceptively harsh name that implies a place no one wants to visit. It's great PR. Go there. It's pricy as hell if you try to live like an American with the fast food and flash, but just live, and you'll find a vibrant lifestyle and real happiness.

Yep, nordics are the happiest places on earth.

Kamala Harris was given an assignment that no other person in American history was given — to construct a presidential campaign in 90-100 days with absolutely no expectation or anticipation that she would be called to that assignment

Canada's federal election process is 36-50 days, or half that.

I agree with most of what was written, but I wanted to point out that countries put forth a scalable platform every 4-5 years in half the time. It's a bag-drive, but it's the timeline.

 

Pay-wall link: https://globalnews.ca/news/9938774/air-canada-vomit-seat-passenger-apology/

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

 

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
