Exactly. Europe should see all Canada's steel and aluminum as a godsend for all the tanks, vehicles, and guns they're going to need to build and use to stop Russia.
There's the futile hope I suppose that antitrust cases going on against Alphabet might force Google to divest Chrome from its advertising arm, so that there's no pressure to make this whole thing worse. Hah, in my dreams.
I really hope some team has been following the changes in Chrome/Chromium by Google to remove Manifest v2, and has been keeping a patchset that will undo the damage? Time to make a hard fork and get some funding to try to keep it going?
.. and, he understands that every new tariff threat tanks the US stock market briefly, so he & his masters can sell first, 'buy the dip' a day or so later and make quick profits as the market recovers. Blatant manipulation.
Good luck -- E. Jean Carroll just kept getting excuses to re-sue him, which was hilarious, since he just could. not. resist. defaming her when legally ordered not to. :). The man seems absolutely compelled to double-down on his disrespect if he is pressured to act like a decent person. He just can't resist trying to "assert dominance" or something.
Carney should formally demand Krasnov "say Thank You" for our water, oil, wood, steel, potash and aluminum, before we drop tariffs. Heh.
EDIT: Vance, too. He should have to say Thank You, on the air, on Fox 'News', before we drop tariffs.
The Assistan/Nest devices have gone to shit as well. When I first bought one about 5 years ago, it could:
play many games (voice-controlled text adventures, multi-player gameshow-style trivia and party games, etc.);
play music from my Google Music Library
library with no commercials;
play podcasts from 3rd party podcast providers;
play almost any radio station that also had livestream feeds
Now all the games are gone, and 'podcasts' are just the small subset of podcasters who also upload their episodes to Youtube (whatever feed they used to use had almost every podcaster there was, even obscure ones); asking for specific episodes by episode number or date is totally broken. Playing radio stations is hit or miss, the voice recognition often picks a stream completely unrelated to the one I ask for; it is waaay worse at matching the callsign/city I ask for.
Playing music is intolerable. There's a stupid commercial for Youtube Music Premium after nearly every track. NO, I will not upgrade to your freaking Youtube Premium.
Well, there was a proposal (which I think was actually very clever and would have been adopted much more easily than IPv6) -- too bad it was never considered.
Stay true to your principles. There are many, many others out there who agree with you. One's religion should NEVER motivate one to force it upon others.
In fact I think there is no true "freedom of religion" without "freedom FROM religion" (as in, every individual is free to practice their religion of choice, so long as such practices harm no one else, or to practice NO religion). If only our governments would codify this explicitly into law.
That's great! Ukraine, make sure the wording of any agreement mentions specific rare-earth elements, none of which you actually have; then make a good show of being cowed and agree to "50% of all the rare-earth minerals on this list, thank you USA moar weapons now plz".
Let Krasnov waste his time and hold his little baby press-conference; the world can hold back its laughter until the ink on the contract is dry. If it means Ukraine gets the help it truly needs, hopefully in 4 years this madness will be over and the agreement will remain as worthless to the US as it appears to be.
First let's cut the biggest energy wasters -- crypto mining and 'AI'.
