Alberta premier wins leadership review with 91.5 per cent approval
  • And here we see the actual problem - Danielle isn't the crazy lady holding the party hostage (like Kenny's comment about the "inmates running the asylum" suggested), the whole party has gone off the deep end.

    I don't see how this has any chance of being fixed, unless the UCP suffers multiple crushing electoral defeats over the next decade or so.

  • Trump Admits Relationship With Epstein Severed After Dispute Over Dibs On Ivanka
  • I recently mused that it has got to be hard for the Onion to come up with something these days given how reality keeps catching up to satire, but this headline proves it's not just hard, it's downright impossible to satirize Trump.

  • New Trump Ad Shows Montage Of People He’ll Kill If Elected | Onion News Network
  • Man, I'd hate to work for the Onion these days. Reality is catching up to satire so quickly I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of people going "yeah, that sounds like something he'd do" and think nothing further of it.

  • [Solved] [Metalcore]
  • Honestly, even with the two clues and the genre I had no idea this was a Lamb if God song, and I listen to them frequently. Sometimes the hints might look obvious to the poster but not the audience due to the different perspectives they approach the hints from.

  • Poilievre says it would be 'not fair' for Liberals to replace Trudeau as leader
  • I was already in favor of Trudeau stepping aside to let someone else run, but this has convinced me even more that this is the right direction for the Liberals. It would instantly invalidate the years worth of vitriol the conservatives have fomented towards Trudeau personally (see the "fuck Trudeau" merch) and send them scrambling to drum up the same amount of baseless hate towards whoever runs in his place. Personally, I think this is the best play the Liberals have, and a masterful way to make the Cons look like they have no platform other than outrage.

  • Canada’s ‘New Red Scare’ is profoundly undemocratic
  • It honestly reads like the author dismisses the potential of foreign influence affecting both domestic actors and politics outright without proof. There's ample evidence that Russian state-affiliated actors have worked with social media influencers to foment outrage, for example. That's not a "new red scare", that's straight up proof of intelligence operations designed to undermine Russia's geopolitical opponents.

  • Alberta's squeeze on renewable energy has pushed investment to other provinces
  • "Big surprise" said everyone with half a brain.

    Seriously though, this is working exactly as intended by the UCP - they want to have Alberta's faith pinned to the petro dollar to stay in power. Hard times, global downturn? Blame everyone for ruining Alberta's precious oil industry -> vote UCP to stick it to the federal government. Good times, oil boom? The UCP freed us from the green yoke the federal government is trying to force on us -> vote UCP to keep your heard-earned success.

  • McDonald’s workers roast Trump over ‘insulting cosplay’ stunt at restaurant that failed health inspection
  • Don Jr really can't stop saying the dumbest things and making himself or whoever he's talking about look worse in the process. I'd say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but I honestly think he's actually even less aware than his dad.

  • Yeah no he's not planning anything shady
  • That's what I was going to point out. Beside that sounding like the most obvious scam domain ever, reading it at face value would indicate that the Republicans think their supporters are a bunch of addicts. Did they fire everyone with any marketing background or are they all so far down the rabbit hole that this sounds perfectly reasonable to them?

  • $7M Alberta advertising campaign against oil and gas emissions cap rolling out in 5 provinces
  • Money well spent Alberta. Keep doubling down on propping up an unstable, temperamental, speculation prone, polluting industry with a great track record of improving the lives of all Albertans. If you're in a hole, keep digging.

  • I'll never forgive Mitsubishi for what they did to the Eclipse
  • What do you mean? At least the new WRX is still a sedan, still AWD, still has a boxer, and can still be bought as a manual.

    Sure, it's making about the same horsepower as 20 years ago, and it got progressively heavier as Subaru needed to add more safety equipment to remain compliant, but it's nowhere near as bad as Ford and Mitsubishi taking legendary name plates and slapping them on crossover SUVs.

  • Sweden told people to open their hearts to immigrants 10 years ago. Its U-turn has been dramatic
  • Having lived and worked in several countries, I think the concept of Jantelagen is rooted in the Protestant Reformation more than it being a specifically Nordic thing. Not only does it fit well with the general premise of the Protestant worldview, all countries that were early converts seem to have ingrained that particular perspective (under various names) in their collective cultures.

  • WMR VR headsets on Linux

    Reading up on some of the more recent posts regarding VR on Linux, I'm wondering if anyone can give a quick rundown of the actual state of VR gaming on Linux for users of WMR headsets like the HP Reverb G2.

    Seeing as Microsoft is about to nuke that entire ecosystem later this year, it would be great if there's a way for people that invested in these headsets to continue using them on Linux, instead of turning a whole slew of devices into fresh e-waste.

    Thanks!

    [Solved] [Stoner metal]
    First hint at 24 hours

    Since it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The crown is important

    Second hint at 48 hours

    Someone already guessed the band's name. And there is a reference to the song's title in both this picture and the lyrics .

    Answer

    Heavy lies the crown by Orange Goblin.

    Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear

    We stand for truth and honour And on the morning tide We head to war together Beneath the Northern sky And Odin's ravens lead us on to victory.

    [Solved] [Heavy metal]
    Tap for spoiler

    Savatage - Strange wings

    Hint: This band tragically lost their guitarist in a car crash (driving a Mazda RX7-FD at the time). They eventually broke up and now tour as an orchestra playing symphonic Christmas music.
