Even if I would agree with your principles, this kind of comment is what is tiring for moderators to deal with at scale.

Meh, I see it as Carney as throwing the provinces a bone and an "attaboy" for collaborating. Costs him nothing to do.

Hey Republicans, to fix this issue, build a bunch of wind turbine power generators to blow the smoke away.

At this point, it should be clear that mirroring the US's stance won't get Canada any benefits anymore. So we should just drop the appeasement and speak for world order instead of for genocide.

The ADL would love the Netanyahu government's idea of a "closed humanitarian city" for Jews or any other undesirables that espouse anti-government views. Definitely inspired by a famous 1930s German guy's plans...

Can we please have a source for the YSK statement you made in the title and the graph?

I have seen data on not having kids being the biggest choice a person can make to prevent future emissions. You also didn't mention flying less often, or not flying when a reasonable alternative exists. What is the relative impact of all of these things compared to dietary changes? Numbers on that would be helpful.

Ah, that explains why Uvalde cops sat around keeping people out during the school shooting. All the unarmed kids getting shot weren't peaceful students with their backpacks.

Technically, uh no. Many of the games I haven't loaded onto my PC would no longer be accessible, correct. But I have a copy of Goldberg emulator, in case Valve doesn't hold up their end of the bargain.

Shaun's original comment in Japanese

「リストラ(Restructure)」という言葉には、再構築や効率化といった前向きな意味合いが込められることが多く海外では比較的曖昧に使われがちです。しかし日本においては「リストラ=解雇」として非常にストレートに受け止められその影響の大きさがより強く意識されます。

とくに近年の外資系企業では大規模な投資に対して短期間での成果を求める傾向が強まり、十分な時間をかける前に株主の期待に応えるための方向転換が行われる場面も少なくありません。今回の報道もそうした構造の中で起きた出来事だと受け止めています。

ゲーム業界を支えているのは現場で真摯に開発に取り組んできた一人ひとりのクリエイターやスタッフの皆さんです。今回の決定には同じ業界にいる立場として強い痛みを感じます。

長い時間をかけて築いてきたものが世に出ない悔しさとそれを楽しみにしていたゲーマーが触れることすらできない現実。どちらも非常に残念です。

影響を受けた皆さまが次のフィールドで再び力を発揮できることを心より願っております。

Restructure is essentially synonymous to being fired/laid-off in Japanese. Shaun points out its used with relatively mixed meanings elsewhere.

Just speaking from my own knowledge of Japanese work culture, each employee and employer are a lot more mutually valued with each other than a relationship with shareholders. The need to frequently turnover staff reflects worse on both. Japanese shareholder relationships with companies, in turn, traditionally (post-bubble era) are less focused on solely "fiduciary duty". They were more on stability, sharing success with good product releases, customer relations and feeling that you are part of the company itself as a shareholder. Many offer(ed) annual gifts and product samples to their domestic shareholders.

So the idea to pursue short-term growth at the expense of long-term success or popularity, is not as well-received by Japanese executives, employees and the public as it may in North America.

This [public service cuts, government financial austerity and all the other stuff in the first bunch of paragraphs] is a descent into fascism. By defunding the state and over-funding the military, Canada is careening towards disaster. And unsurprisingly, the voices that are paid by the corporate class, are cheering this descent on.

Come on, let's get specific. Call out our fascism where the descent into fascism is happening under Carney's government: Bill C-2, Trump ass-kissing, parts of Bill C-5.

I am diametrically opposed to wanton public service cuts, but let's be targeted and accurate at what we are calling the descent to fascism.

Sure. That is assuming that someone is available on the LibreOffice side to support the ministry for a particular amount, and that the policy related to government procedures can be followed under this agreement.

I'm planning to start a new Satisfactory world with a number of friends and acquaintances of mine, some from different friend groups.

In a game like Minecraft, the world is limitless and people can set their base up anywhere, obtain resources wherever they please and just trying not to impede on others too much. In Satisfactory I worry a bit about competing over the resources or ideal space, or someone decides to take down another person's hourslong work to make a more efficient factory, etc.

What would be ways that I could fairly share the world with many people? I'd think most of the people would get along and the objective is shared, but I'd want to reduce areas of frustration where possible and would appreciate any advice to that end.

Ihave a unique opportunity to add a node at the Tower LNB ring. However I'm struggling to source a Meshtastic gateway that meets the requirements I'v been given. Any help would be appreciated.

  1. Power will be provided over 48v POE ONLY
  2. Remote management is a must, consider both internet provided over ethernet and 4G/LTE as backup (fw updates)
  3. Maximum 5db gain antenna can be used positioned on the LNB ring facing N-NW, must not exceed 1400mm in length
  4. Must be tuned for exactly 915mhz (l'm thinking cavity filter) to help with Rx.
  5. Enclosure and antenna must be pole mounted
  6. Absolutely no wifi 2.4 or 5ghz
  7. 500CND budget 'd like a set it and forget it approach. ls it even worth it?

According to a new study by the Angus Reid Institute, 76% of Canadians say they’re boycotting American products.

61% of Canadians also say they’re cancelling or delaying trips to the U.S., while 86% say they’re buying more Canadian products.

“The cross-border data already proves it: Canadians are cutting back their travel to the U.S. to levels last seen during COVID-19. These numbers may drop further, considering that 3 in 5 Canadians say they’re cancelling or delaying plans to travel across the border. In addition to this, the proportion of Canadians saying they’re boycotting American products or buying more Canadian products is already high and appears to be growing.”

 

Filing taxes in Canada is relatively simple compared to the USA. See the site for various options, but try to find ones not operated by American firms such as H&R Block and TurboTax.

From a cursory search, TaxTron, GenuTax, Better Tax appear Canadian. Many are Pay-What-You-Want model.

If you have a complex tax situation and/or can't file online, and/or don't want to do the paper return yourself, consider seeing an independent Canadian accountant.

ETA: TurboTax blames filers for incorrect claims in Ontario getting audited, causing Canadians to owe thousands.
