I'm not sure which is the embarrassing part.

• calling a spade a spade based on solid Intel
• some other guy's bad judgment, who already fell on his sword in shame and ended a distinguished career

Point to the bad thing Hair Guy did in there.

Blast some support information for abused spouses.

I'm not saying it'll be more valuable in a "shut up and do what I say because I said so" crowd, but I'm also not not saying it.

It's easy to ask "why didn't Alberta diversify a bit more

It's a harder question when we consider that diversification and diverse investments was the biggest plank of the platform Peter Lougheed won the province with and gave the Cons their first victory over the strong NDP incumbents in a long time.

Like, the Cons took the province on that platform.

Now ask why it didn't happen. (hint: greed)

Show me the syringes. I'll show you my least favourite arm.

Look at the tax setup in the late '40s and early '50s. I think that's when the max bracket was like 93% for the 1%.

That's how we get an interstate.

Are these monuments linked to the group that didn't do any actual Nazi shit according to the historian?

Like, I wasn't 22me or Airborne while I was in the army, but I was in while they were doing some heinous hazing shit. Am I (more of) a dick because I was in the same organization that included those two units who were doing bad things at that time?

This is the way.

technically right which any pedant will tell you is the best kind of right.

As a part-time pedant (is there a thing?) I think I love this statement; even if I hate myself for doing so.

Side thought. My phone is registered with a tablet sim and cannot make or receive calls or SMS traffic. It's Skype/fbmsgr/hangouts(or whatever it's called this week) but no phone stuff. And my Skype out comes from Seattle or so.

I'm pretty sure this won't work for me. I hope my outlier status isn't anything like common, but I do think more zoomies are gonna ditch the classic phone number and just use WhatsApp or signal or telegram, and the source of the emergency call could become as difficult to suss as it is important.

(No. I'm not saying EComm911 should get and use a FB account for messages or anything else)

[Sorry for typos. I hope I've got them all]

I like the idea of knowing which room and floor you're on in an emergency, and the system looks neat, but who maintains the mapping?

In our case, we had to; and filling in all that information and keeping it current on the pbx system is a surprisingly dumb and time-consuming job.

So it seems we have two equivalent vaccines for the same variant. Nice there's two different supplies.

Now let's do the vaccine-to-arm part. Let's go let's go.

The halfwits already thinks there's foil in it, so that's not a bad idea.

... and this boy has a suspended sentence as long as he does nothing else bad AND there's a tree above 10 feet in its place.

Pay to acquire and maintain the replacement must come from paid community work, 100% post-tax pay toward any tree maintenance first.

I say 20 years of that to ensure the new tree will take.

“Up until this point, the mechanism we’ve used to identify who is the owner of the Hue system and can do this [control your bridge], is by physical access to the device — and pressing the button on the bridge,” says Yianni. “This approach is inadequate going forward, and we need a more robust way to identify the owner of the system and enable them to manage their system — the Hue account is how we will do this.”

Actual physical security that requires people to be admitted into your home before they can manage your config is somehow inadequate? Compared to a fucking clowd scheme it's so much better.

what this means for you

I have a friend with a bushel of hue bulbs in her garage, having swapped dozens for something less enshittified. They're going to the landfill. She's never touching the hue line again and regrets spending any money with them in the past. THAT's what that means. It's okay if they die.

That's like the real meatloaf didn't want to do either! (He was suddenly vehemently against the 37th vaccine offered to him, despite its safety and efficacy, and mayyybe died from COVID complications, but shhh)

They don't allow it. It happens. Unless you have someone watching the backhoe in real time with like a stun gun pointed at the operator, you WILL get infrastructure wrecked. The can't know and care about every wire laid down there, and there are a lot.

Remember, kinder Morgan was off by 40 feet on it's as-built diagram, which the operator was using to ensure he didn't spike the pressurized oil line. Since I'm writing it here, you know a geyser happened, coating homes and property downwind.

Yeah. This was regular for Ottawa.

Well Netflix did it and had one good quarter so let's try it too.

One of them will need to go.

Please don't be shitty lowboy firetrap noisy wooden s.r.o boxes.

But it needed to peak 10 years ago.

How do we get projects prioritized that will undo, clean or capture pollutants and carbon again?
