Is it anything like multi-threaded xz -- in that you're trading encoding speed for size?

Goose... Geese.

Moose... Meese.

I do my best to check as I'm putting things into my cart, but also double-check at the checkout. I caught a few things that had 'Canada' on the front of the box ("#1 brand in Canada!") that was actually made in the USA. I put it aside at the checkout. Putting it aside at the checkout and demonstrating to others that you won't buy American is encouragement for others to do the same.

His history / record shows otherwise.

Like when he promised Twitter an employees a 'buy out' package, then stiffed all of them for upwards of $500M dollars, then won the subsequent court battle, fucking over thousands of people.

It creates a cost for spammers. They have to have an account with a Telco, which isn't free, which in a lot of countries comes with some sort of National ID to register. That's the reason.

Translation: He's the fox, knows the fox, or is under the influence of the fox, already knows, and he's TOTALLY fine with it because it confers money or power on him.

I pay $6USD/month for a cloud box that's encrypted and has been running for years, no outages, no downtime.

For a large organization? Sure. For your family and friends? No.

There are lots of tutorials, and choosing a security-first OS is also wise... OpenBSD is my current favourite.

Honestly, building a mail server isn't that hard if you aren't afraid of the command line.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when CSIS shows him printouts of his communications or the balances of bank accounts he's been trying to hide.

It's a tough job, and it should be paid well. When I was a kid, my brother in law was a postie, and made a decent living. He had a house, a nice car, and could take two vacations a year. Nobody can afford that shit, even unionized.

And remember -- a rising tide lifts all boats -- if they get a good deal, it makes it easier for others to get a better deal.

The seaway union negotiated hard, and got a very good increase, better benefits, and management agreed to increase their workforce so there was less overtime. It cost management tens of millions in losses that it didn't need to lose.

I mean, if I were an opponent of the USA, I'd be celebrating. Putin and Xi accomplished the total and complete destruction of the USA by simply amplifying the worst voices. No shots fired, no military deployment. Osama bin Laden would be spinning in his grave if he weren't buried at sea.

Yup, this is a 30 minute job - dig a hole (preferably from the upwind side) beside the critter, roll it into said hole, bury it. If you want to keep critters out, have your local dude urinate around it every day. It'll be gone in the spring.

A broken voting system, plus weaponized apathy. He got 66+% of the seats in Ontario's Parliament with 17% of eligible voters choosing their local conservative candidate.

Published polls for MONTHS before the election showed he was going to win by a landslide -- so people stayed home, thinking it was pointless. They're doing it in the USA right now with slanted polls showing it's a toss-up, even though exit polls show that the majority of early voters are women.

Ha. I'm going to take a bunch of edibles and listen to music on my old school iPod and sleep 12+ hours.

If Article 5 is invoked, Russia ceases to exist overnight.

The evening of the first day Russia fucks up, the US demonstrates why Americans don't have healthcare. It swoops in with a couple dozen stealth fighters, eliminates air-defence, decapitates the entire chain of command, then levels every military and military-adjacent structure from west to east and east to west and south to north at the same time. I sincerely doubt a single American life would be lost.

By morning, there's nothing of consequence left, and regular NATO fighters have control of the skies, taking out leftover smaller targets and industrial infrastructure... and that's it, game over.

My lunatic anti-vax, anti-pharma, anti-government mother in Grande Prairie will eat this shit up.

Let's not forget that his shithead junkie brother cancelled MOST of Transit City -- a plan developed & designed for maximum impact for the least expense... Costing the city of Toronto nearly $100M in wasted work and cancellation penalties (which massively benefitted developers).

He fought like hell for the city to build subways rather than surface rail on a separated grade from cars, which is far cheaper, and nearly as effective as subways when approaching streetcars get priority from traffic lights.

I also don't understand why the mint doesn't have any for sale -- but you can apparently get them at Costco.
