So what you're telling me is she definitely didn't ride the subway after 9/11 in her hijab?

I don't know how exactly he would run regardless how well his debate skills are with the albatross that is the state of California hanging around his neck.

I saw that BC is saying they'll buy ads next.

I feel like premiers should stay in their lane.

Consider the irony: "I have to buy a brand new computer because the people who make my operating system arbitrarily require a new microchip? Well forget that I'm buying a Mac"

4th architecture now?

Anyone interested in knowing a bit of trivia about publishing:

Right now, I've got 3 editions of Future Sepsis.

The e-book is about 5 bucks. The paperback is about 16 bucks. The hardcover is about 25 bucks.

The interesting thing is, the revenue from each book is about the same. The rest of the cost goes into printing costs.

I kind of feel like even if you win this one on the yes side, you might have lost big...

"Wait, you gambled on this?" "Yes, and I bet on you!" "But you gambled on it?"

Saddest thing is, Ford is the leader of the provincial conservatives. This is as far right as we get. 🤦‍♂️

Tbh for a company that size it's almost a rounding error.

I think we got to see this year exactly how far any of the people who are calling for disinformation and misinformation to be regulated actually believe in that -- when one of their own face consequences for stating things that were effectively factually untrue, suddenly there was no discussion about misinformation or disinformation, just how free speech is so important.

Looks a lot like nextcloud news, and I love nextcloud news.

Cheese is like spiders. It crawls in your mouth while you're sleeping.

It would take a lot less to destroy the civilian internet than most people think. One total war. 6 more months of what England is doing.

I saw someone saying "Half the Internet went down when AWS failed. This is proof you need to have money in crypto"

At some point, people are going to have to realize that crypto only makes sense in the context of a world with an open Internet. If STTF, the open Internet is about the first thing to go away, meaning your crypto isn't going to be available along with your global DNS and your connection to root miners. Shiny rocks might seem like a sillier form of value storage, but shiny rocks don't depend on a global communications internetwork to operate.

Federal money is shut off during the shutdown. I wonder if this is a symptom?

Peaked in the 90 to early 2000s, still strong in the mid to late 2000s, a few last bits of good culture in the early 2010s, but in 2016 the entire world ended culturally and there's only a handful of works in general that have come out since.

If matter and antimatter are both incredible amounts of energy organizing themselves into particles, and having all this energy in one place is what helps that organization, and if matter and antimatter destroy each other and result in a return to energy, then it seems to me that you could have a scenario where matter and antimatter form again and again, flipping the coin until eventually it lands on one side or another due to minutae between the formation of both, which might even be totally arbitrary. Flip a coin enough times, and eventually you likely don't always get exactly 50%. All you'd need is 50.1% and if the energy is going through a cycle of stabilization into matter and antimatter, meeting, annihilation, restabilization, because the coin would keep flipping until you get enough of a 50.1% to have a final outcome.

I suppose the matter antimatter creation/annihilation cycle could happen so fast that as humans we might not have any conception of the number of particles that were created and destroyed -- it could be ten to the power of 200. Given that there's about ten to the power of 80 particles, then that means that you could have only one asymmetry after an unfathomable number of cycles and still have a final answer.

>police and supreme Court abolished

>Trump's martial law the law of the land, unencumbered by the courts

Not sure they thought their demands through.

I want to know where the extra trillion in federal debt went.

The excess money spent should have been enough to turn us into bloody China. Instead we aren't even bloody pre-2015 Canada.

Right at the beginning of the pandemic, I was like "Oh shit we won't be able to get haircuts, they're gonna mess us up" so I quietly grabbed a hair clipper on Amazon.

And it turned out to be like the last flight out of Saigon for the next 2 years.

"Can we agree that having to pay for a human necessity is a major a-hole design?"

You've got two options: Go have a chat with God and his pesky laws of thermodynamics, or slavery.

We could bring it back, then we wouldn't need to worry about paying for human necessities!
