The SS were an elite division of political soldiers under Hitler.

To be fair, I've never seen Secret Service abbreviated to SS.

It's a great launching pad to learn how a language works, but beyond simple things, it get bad very fast.

I also use AI to look for terms in specific domains, which is really helpful as well.

The tenants literally pay the taxes, insurance and maintenance in their rent payment. When any of these inflates, so does the rent unless there are protections in place.

So being a landlord means someone else pays the mortgage for your unit.

The only thing that could be seen as a service are short term rental, and even then, it was abused to death by the AirBnB/VRBO and any other short term rental service.

Rent seeking is the most capitalistic thing someone can do : you use your money to get someone else to pay your rent. You do the minimal maintenance that you can get away with, and when you actually do real maintenance, your tenants get a rent hike.

If there weren't any landlord, there would still be housing. But a lot more people would own the place they live in, at a reasonable price, instead of housing being used as an investment vehicule.

My point is that postal service shouldn't be run as a private company that absolutely needs to turn a profit, just like healthcare for example.

Conservatives love to treat Canada Post as a private company because they can then tell everyone how unprofitable it is and must be dismantled and sold off to private interests. And then, it will cost even more for less services

Or, hear me out, some services don't have to be profitable, like sending put parcels and letters within a country, healthcare or public transportation. Essential services you know.

Instead of giving money to mega corpos for them to pocket it, we could pay for services that benefit the citizens, just like China is doing for postal services.

What's even worse is that the train wasn't in bumfuck nowhere, so there is no excuse for not providing a transportation out of the train to the destination.

Or at the very least, have someone bring food and water.

I tried to keep it on the low volume side, but it means I need to hold back a bit of my sneeze.

When I do hold back a little bit, it feels like my chest is hit by a train and it hurts like hell.

So I just live with the sound it makes, try to make it funnier for my kids, and put my mouth/nose into my elbow.

Makes sense. Posix was created a long time ago and there are most probably some features that could be changed

Do you eat the same thing for breakfast every day? I do. But for whatever reason, lunch and dinner is different. Can't eat the same thing twice.

Dumb brain

What part of posix is redox trying to get away from?

Depends what you want in an OS. The increasingly invasive ads and loss of control in Windows is overwhelmingly a good enough reason for me. But it is not the case for everyone.

Linux has its quirks, and it's a different approach to an OS in general, so it can be intimidating if you only want an office machine.

Dad only shows up at game drunk. Laughs at Tucker when he strikes out.

"See you next week son"

I don't know about NS, but here in QC there are too many cooks in the administrative layer of health care. Too much money is going to the people that bring a lot less value than they cost.

We always have a big reform every 10-15 years or so to consolidate more and more service in the same mega structure, but it always add more administrative layers instead of adding boots where it matters.

I hope that every province can turn around and put the money where it really matters instead of more administrative employees.

Then fucking force companies to reinvest then. Tax the shit out of profits unless it is reinvested back into the economy through their employees and any other mean.

Corpos are quick to suckle at the government tit for subventions that they don't need, but when comes the time to give back to their community, crickets.

Maintenance cost too much, so the cut corners. Then a holiday happens and the trains are used more, so they break because the maintenance was shit.

By the name, I assume that it is similar to scrambled eggs, but with tofu?

I'll look into that. Thanks

What is your best breakfast recipe that isn't oatmeal?

The texture horrifies me, but it seems to be the go-to these days.

I like peanut butter toasts, but my son is allergic to peanuts and coming to that age where he touches everything. So I need to find alternatives.

We don't have fusion yet. Once we do, it should solve a lot of energy demands.

The stars are using fusion, not combustion though, right?

A friend of mine died three years ago and I still have his contact in my phone and on discord.

I'm not tidy in my contacts because it doesn't really take space anywhere, so there's a bit of that.

But, there is also this weirdness about deleting that person's last contact with me with forever.
