Nah, you read me right. I'm absolutely ragging on Ontario beer, but ESPECIALLY so on LCBO.

You're right, there are a few nice beers here and there. The pony sours are very nice. Left-field has some great stuff. Tooth and nail has had some fantastic colab beers, and their standard lineup is quite passable. But where are our Belgian style ales? Our west-coast style IPAs? Where are the Baltic porters and imperial stouts? I want a full bodied malty IPA. I want a double IPA with some seriously lacto funky notes, not just "this baby can fit so much hops".

We're just SO unadventurous, and I think a lot of it has to do with LCBO. I used to be able to get all that stuff, but selection has shrunk and shrunk.

Make Ontario craft work for their spot on the shelf. Too much protectionism is bad for consumers.

My guess is that there are multiple tables on one sheet, and this is the summation of the sub-totals.

The problem is that performant screenshare (to multiple users) more or less requires infrastructure. That requires money, and it's impossible to compete on price with services that have the VC-enshitification model.

You can get around this in a few ways, but they're all tradeoffs that are in some way or other worse than discord.

• P2P - sacrifice latency, reliability
• direct multi-stream - sacrifice PC performance and/or bitrate
• paid infrastructure - sacrifice money

It may be too late to prevent the fallout entirely, but it's never too late to mitigate at least some of the damage.

Shouldn't be too hard to compete with Ontario brewers. We seem to only be able to make the same 3 or 4 craft beers in different packaging.

We've been sheltered from interprovincial competition, and our products have suffered for it.

Surely this time they'll realise it's Trump's fault. 🙄

If it has a video input, hook up a used PC, and pirate everything. (:

What's the plan then? What do you do with the 3rd of your entire country that supports this?

If you don't chop off the head of the beast, it's not going to stop.

His base is good enough at destroying their own lives, they don't need help. And besides, you can't fix ignorance by getting angry at it. The only cure is education.

Focus your anger on the owning class. The ones who own the media, the health care systems, the means of food production and distribution. Those are the architects who have deceived his useful idiots and are the true source of the problem.

Eleven and twelve kinda are as well. They literally mean "one left" (ain-lif) and "two left" (twa-lif) with the "over ten" being implied.

If we ever get a 2nd round of Nuremberg trials, this Paul Dans guy is gonna get his comeuppance. If he doesn't get green mario'd first, that is.

I don't like him because he self sabotaged electoral reform. Otherwise, he's done OK. A bit of scandal here and there, but nothing too controversial. He's no Lester B. Pearson, but he's better than asshats like Harris.

You guys are getting past 5th level?

Good. This'll help make the remaining centrists that don't care enough to not buy nazimobiles reconsider on pragmatic grounds.

Is he trying to neg us by threatening our sovereignty and then asking for a favour??? Most high schoolers know better than to fall for that. Like, get real.

Remember, you can always stay in your home country and fight for Canada through intentional gross incompetence:

Edit: Oh, OP basically already said the same thing.

I think it really depends on the website and even where you are on the website. For example, if you're on YT, the watch?v=<b64_id> is probably not something you want to throw away. If you're on a news site like imaginarynews.com/.../the-article-title/?tracking-garbage=<...> then you probably do. It's just a matter of having "sane" defaults that work as most people would expect.

Funny how these cameras always seem to be working fine if something happens to a rich person...

Saving this for later. I love project Gutenberg, but the quality is kinda all over the place.

That'd be cool. Whenever I'm sharing a YT link, I'm always a bit suspicious of what info the youtu.be URL is hiding, so I paste it into a browser to get a clean URL.

Maybe this is silly, but I'd be cool to do that automatically.
