Could be good for things like the creative writing subreddits, where interaction is secondary

I have zero interest in allowing Chinese automakers to have independent access to the Canadian market as long as long as other auto manufacturers don't enjoy the same access to the Chinese market.

It's also very important to understand that by the time this comic was made, the actual oil had almost nothing to do with it. The US has been a net exporter for a while now, and the majority of oil imports are coming from Canada.

A lot of people who are staying at those hotels and bothering with the continental breakfast are there for work, not vacation.

I have a lot of questions for whoever set that up in the first place, first and foremost of which is: why in the everlasting fuck was that computer ever attached to the internet? At most it should be allowed internal network access only.

The best part about winter, is that if you are still cold, you can always light something on fire.

kids in FPS games razz me for speaking too formally.

Don't worry about that one. It's one of the few cases where the children are in fact wrong.

So we're just going to pretend that the other 90% of the gym doesn't exist?

Which conversions? Most metric conversions are drastically simpler than their imperial counterparts.

Exactly. More specifically, I'm not afraid of how people vote, I'm afraid of people choosing not to.

Wait, is that a random number, or the actual scale of the power draw we're talking about?

'Cause that's fuck-all when we're talking about industrial level power draw.

Well now this really makes for a trio of facts that paint a horrifying picture:

• Private, for profit prisons exist
• Prison slave labour is legal
• Homelessness can now be made illegal

Guess I should buy some stocks in companies that use prison labour.

Checks out, what with the current state of the Christian-right in the US.

Not important enough to me at this point to spend the time changing over. Windows 10 does what I need it to and still gets security updates. When one of those two factors changed, then it will be worth my time to change over.

Microsoft has made the choice very easy for me. I still have an i7-7700k that works just fine. But that's "too old", so when Windows 10 hits end of life, I'll be switching over to Linux.

How hard's the test? Maybe she's done.

the ads are minimally intrusive — that is, highly relevant and engaging — they should not detract from the overall user experience

In what universe do ads, no matter how "relevant and engaging", ever not detract from the overall experience?

Close. The Thousand Islands are in the St Lawrence River.

Oh I'm not concerned about the safety and quality aspect. GM, Ford et al have put out plenty of unsafe shitboxes in the past. I'm talking about the fact the outside companies are flat out not allowed to operate in China without forming a partnership with a Chinese company. It's a simple rule that fuckd things up royally once all the ramifications of that play out.

For me, first and foremost is the fact that Chinese companies don't have to operate by the same rules here as North American companies have to operate by in China. Until that's fixed, I have no interest in letting them into our market. And that's before we get into issues like some of the more valid arguments for a limited amount of protectionism.
