Take care. In North America some services will ban you for doing a chargeback and that can be a big problem if you have a lot of content on the service

I think you've captured exactly what they are trying to say

Nah, there was just more economic activity to draw people in. By every other measure it’s been more hostile than average.

But you are right that it is ending, just wrong about what: it’s the high economic activity that attracted people which is disappearing thanks to the same people that hate migrants.

At least not in the Iliad though it gets short mentions in the Odyssey.

Most of what we know of it appeared in non-Homeric stories and most famously (nowadays) in Virgil.

Oh they’ll be replaced, by toadies and GOP Youth interns looking for a salary and resume boost

Given the quality of the summaries, you might want to keep them just for plausible deniability </s>

I personally am not interested in the bigots of previous generations making those decisions any more than I want contemporary ones to.

A long and storied history, the abolitionists used it pretty extensively well before it was named: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Boycott

You can call it white nationalism if you like but you are spouting the exact same talking points as white supremacists, you just prefer to buy it under a different brand.

The keyboard is probably the hardest bit but even then it’s more just some tedium rather than difficulty. https://www.ifixit.com/News/116152/macbook-neo-is-the-most-r...

Haha. I edited tv shows back in the very early days of digital non-linear editing on a Mac Quadra 840AV with 80MB of RAM and 40/80MHz 68040 processor and a RAID made up of 4 x 9GB SCSI drives, with a coprocessor board that people wouldn’t consider sufficient for editing gifs with now. We did After Effects rendering with similar gear … my first job was restarting after effects after it would crash part way through a render (go back a few frames and start again).

There are only 15 countries worldwide with a higher defence budget than Canada so the budget is hardly tiny, it just doesn’t meet the arbitrary and obscene targets of 2/5% GDP. In actuality, Canada spends more than twice as much per capita than the world average.

The only realistic threat to Canada is the new one from Donald Trump, but it would take closer to 30% GDP to protect from that one.

First, this is taking Shotwell’s characterization at face value, that is not a great idea when dealing with a Musk corporation. Musk and his executives lie like other people breathe.

Second, one might believe in a company’s mission or be interested in working in that area without supporting or even liking the owner. Requiring you to like the owner would be disastrous for many if not most industries.

Lastly, how do you imagine unions get formed without communication among employees?

Ffs, taking usable fingerprints is not that easy

Facial recognition cameras don’t use or give you the same data that FaceID’s 3D depth mapping FaceID uses, besides few cameras get close enough to practically reconstruct a useful 3D mask that could fool it.

And if you’re a corpse why would you care?

You’re not wrong that it hasn’t been passed by congress but just the proposal has already led to a massive decrease in grants. I am not as optimistic that Congress would go against admin policy

John Le Carre’s “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”and Umberto Eco’s “The Name of the Rose” were constant companions for me on road trips (sadly no English unabridged “Foucault’s Pendulum” exists)

I think they meant “it just can’t” in the sense of “it shouldn’t under any circumstances”

Brad Cox, co-creator of Objective C, wrote a interesting response to "No Silver Bullet" in 1995:
