I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.
Tax the rich. Start rebuilding the public wealth that has been sold off over the past 40 years. Reinvent capitalism along more sustainable lines where it’s possible, build alternatives to it where it isn’t. Or maybe just let things roll along the path of least resistance for a few more years and then watch it all crash and burn.
By saying that even a relatively modest goal such as an NDP government “will never happen” you’re casting a vote for the latter.
Does anyone actually use calendars that put Monday on the left? Not where I live but I haven’t seen the calendars of most of the world.
Rabble dot ca got cloudflared so I can’t see the article, but who needs democracy when you’ve got a strong leader, tough on crime, who can really get things done, forcefully confront our problems, thrust forward with nation-building projects like helping the world burn even more fossil fuels, and boldly invest in the future by buying expensive military hardware from all over the world. Listening to parliament — let alone listening to civil liberties nuts and environmentalist weirdos who don’t have the financial clout it takes to make a difference in the new Canada — would only slow them down.
If the fundraiser is in the form of a bake sale, I pledge to go down there and buy a cupcake.
It’s kinda weird that you came back to continue arguing against the human tendency towards curiosity.
If noticing (and reporting on) an odd statistic does not make you want to investigate to find out the cause of it, you are perhaps not cut out for a career as a journalist.
“Nice doggy — go ahead and tear apart that stranger, it’s totally worth it. Would you like to buy some rocks?”
Such a suggestion did not come from me. The investigation might well be as simple as finding the right person to call at the relevant bureau.
You’re suggesting that it’s obvious why world cup-related travel would result in a larger fraction of visa applications denied than other travel? It’s not to me.
Of course they will. There’s no way the CBC can resist such a thing.
If you seriously want to know, bear in mind that you’re only going to get answers here from the kind of people willing to watch a youtube video based on nothing more than that clickbait thumbnail, and that audience might consist mainly of very weird people.
Oh, two choices. So I guess it probably switched to using your intel i915 graphics instead of the nvidia gpu. I dunno how to fix it, but it seems likely that’s what happened.
It’s sort of frustrating that they discovered this huge disparity between the rates of visa applications being approved from different countries, and then seemingly made no effort at all to investigate the reasons for it.
half of them would simply not open at all with any tweaking. The rest of the games eventually started to run but some of them were hit by performance degradation severe enough to not be playable.
It sounds like your video card driver stopped working and it’s fallen back to non-accelerated graphics.
Thanks, that article looks very helpful. It’ll take me a while to read it but already it makes me want to go back to eating more spinach, for the betaine. I will at least start eating fewer eggs even if I don’t go fully vegan.
Update: My usual supplier of beans does in fact have dried soya beans so I guess I’ll be eating some of those.
So from that list —
I was hoping for an answer other than eating two cups of soybeans every day. I’m not even sure whether or not it’s possible to get them at a reasonable price in this part of the world, but I guess I’ll have to find out.
Well I’ve got a question I’ve been wondering about for a while, so since you offer advice I’ll ask it here:
How do you get enough choline in your diet without spending a lot of money? Searching the web hasn’t turned up an answer for me so far. Of all the vitamins and minerals known to nutritional science it’s literally the only one I haven’t figured out yet. I’m eating eggs for that (it’s the number one non-vegan thing about my diet) plus a supplement, and it’s still not quite up to the officially recommended level although I think it’s probably good enough. But I’d like to not have to eat so many eggs and the research seems to indicate that dietary choline is somewhat important.
The person whose job it was to speak up in meetings and ask things like “FIFA? Are you sure? Do we really want to get involved with an organization like that?” is no longer employed by Mozilla.
these authorities are intended to be used only in exceptional circumstances and are not exercised lightly
Once again they promise never to use the crazy new powers they’ve just granted themselves for no obvious reason. What is even going on? Did the Liberal Party of Canada somehow get taken over by the same people that wrote Project 2026? Are they thinking fascism is inevitable so we might as well prepare for it? Assuming we have another federal election some day I get the feeling it’s going to go very badly for them, but the damage they’re doing will not be easy to repair.
In principle, it’s a bad idea to route so many of everyone’s web requests through one central provider. It gives them too much power to track everything. It’s not how the web was meant to work.
In practice, the techniques they use to try and keep out the bots also keep out people like me who like to make our web browsers slightly more secure by disabling parts of the vast and overly-complicated set of features implemented in javascript, such as those that are normally only used for browser fingerprinting. Over time it’s become increasingly difficult to figure out all the things I’d need to do to have my usual browser pass all their tests, and in this era of plentiful browser 0-days I’m more reluctant than ever to spend any time trying.
