I never understood this one. What kind of course would you be doing that required very expensive paid software, but you didn't know ahead of time that said software was required. I think the imaginary OP is just an idiot.

Best way to stay hidden is convince people that you never existed in the first place.

The whole NFT/crypto currency thing is so incredibly frustrating. Like, being able to verify that a given file is unique could be very useful. Instead, we simply used the technology for scamming people.

I have a "server" cobbled together out of old PC parts. I have proxmox running on it and Home Assistant is one of the VMs running on that machine.

Don't know, don't care. Canada and Brazil are in two very different places economically.

Health Canada, not FDA. And I'm not 100% sure if it's Health Canada that deals with those inspections or provincial authorities.

If wikipedia is to be believed, we might not be as far off as you'd think. One third of our pharmaceutical consumption is already domestically supplied, and the amount we export amounts to about 40% of our consumption. Put the two together, and suddenly there's 70% of our needs already met. Imports from non-us suppliers should be able to fill the gap while domestic production is ramped up.

Now obviously reality is going to be far more complex than this napkin math, but I'm just pointing out that our domestic production is not starting from zero, and is already at the scale where supplying our own relatively small market is not out of the question.

Big pharma wants to play? Fine. Let's just invalidate all their patents, spin up a crown corp to manufacturer generic versions, and export globally at actually fair prices.

Canadians seem to be in a very "fuck your threats and fuck you" mood politically, due to Trump's bullshit. This has made Manning's petulant threats fall even more flat than they normally would.

How much more energy would you get if you fused uranium?

At this rate, scavenging and cobbling together essential items out of trash.

I don't think this is the shit hitting the fan yet, but the fan has been turned on, and the bean burrito has been eaten.

Wow that link threw me for a second. I was trying to figure out what CSIS was doing with a .org website.

You forgot your /s. People seem to be thinking you are serious.

There's nothing more true than Occam's razor. And stupid is by definition simple.

Unfortunately, when you apply Occam's razor along with the second law of thermodynamics to politics, you end up with the current mess.

It's an HBO political-comedy talk show. As far as I know, that's a category of 2. It doesn't take a conspiracy to see how one would be constantly in the suggestions of the other.

You are underestimating how truly idiotic the corporate world actually is.

I wouldn't even credit them with that much thought. It's far more likely that it's simply "you watched late-night political comedy talk show, so here's another late night political "comedy" talk show."

Our eggs Our cheap because most of the supply is domestic, and our domestic supply is stable. The Ukrainian supply is replacing the US supply that is no longer available, and is going to commercial buyers, not store shelves.

Canada doesn't really have the same kind of massive factory farming practices that the US does, and the bird flu problem is already far more contained. I think this is mostly a show of support for Ukraine kind of thing.
