The very definition of genocide.

You'd think that Israelis would be more self-aware, but there's plenty of videos of them cheering the seige of Gaza and the bombing of children. I don't want to paint them all with the same brush, but there's a metric fuckload of people in those crowds.

I like the idea that politicians are held to a higher standard, but I can't imagine it would be easy to enforce. If it was a financial penalty, it would encourage corruption. If the penalty was an exclusion from running in the next election, the group that makes that determination could be weaponized. It would be difficult to structure.

Heh... I like the idea of a 'blue line' 'centre ice' party... Every Canuck should know what it means, and it's a nod to our Hockey heritage, but I can totally see it getting mixed up with the nazi police 'thin blue line' bullshit.

Then what's the spin you want to hear from a politician that would make you vote for them? (That is, spin that isn't full of racism and rhetoric about the other side.)

I think it's a false division, which is stoked by far-right leaning politicians. I'd like to believe that even people who lean right politically are still for functioning public education and health care. The issue is that people aren't doing as well as they remember doing 20 years ago for a variety of very solvable issues.

Oh, and I had a thought about their methodology - the screen recording software only works when it's booted from the internal hard drive. Boot with a USB stick with a Linux live image, mount the internal drive as read-only, and you can copy the entire thing, and nobody will ever know.

Also, wipe your hard drives before you throw out computers. Folks throw PCs out all the time in my office building, and I pick them up to refurb and 'freecycle' them. More than half the time, I'll plug it in to see if it will boot it up, and the drives are still intact, and loaded up with personal data... Then I plug in my DBAN USB stick and wipe the drive(s) 3x.

Nope, there's a mad rush to get as many cargo ships through as possible before the Seaway freezes in January. The timing is perfect.

I clearly need to get better weed then... I don't see, feel, hear, taste, or smell anything that's not there when I've had some gummies. All I get it a good night's sleep.

Par for the fucking course. Remember how his crackhead brother cost Toronto nearly $100M in cancellation fees, wasted work, and then probably hundreds of millions more in lost productivity by writing a one page memo on mayoral letterhead cancelling Transit City?

It infuriates me that people think conservatives are good with money. They burn through hundreds of millions in utter and complete bullshit while championing 'efficiencies' and burning the system down from the inside.

Its advantage, strictly speaking, is that it is not correlated very much with stocks, bonds, real estate and other things people owe.

Not that the bot made a mistake, but this is wrong...

Gold drops like a rock when markets take a shit. It usually bounces back quickly -- often before stocks recover, giving you a chance to buy cheap on the dip, and sell at a profit three months later, and pick up some of the stocks that haven't recovered yet... But it VERY MUCH moves in sync with the market during times of crisis.

Tax the fuck out of these ghouls.

He wasn't afraid of fucking around in downtown Ottawa for 3 weeks... but the finding out... THAT part he's afraid of.

Can we just sentence him to get a university-level education? It will effectively keep him out of society for the rest of his life.

Voter suppression is why the turnout was so low. For WEEKS prior to the election, all you saw in newspapers, TV, and internet was how dominating DoFo's lead was.

Go check AirBnB for your nearest large city. Every one of those could be a home for someone.

Let me throw this out... My GF's aunts and uncles want to have a "first time" party where they all try pot for the first time. I've made cookies and brownies in the past, with varying degrees of success, I guess depending on the quality of the effective ingredients.

Do you have any tips on what products would best be used for cooking/baking edibles like cookies or brownies? We're just looking to have a laugh, get the munchies, and fall asleep. :)

We upgraded our furnace ahead of schedule because we kept having problems with the A/C. Our heating/cooling costs dropped by 55% over the following year. Moving the heat around is 4x more efficient than resistive heating.

Uh, how has he not been tried as a war criminal? Damn.

You deal with that by flattening the upward trend (or even reversing it a little) by adding more inventory. Corporate ownership of residential housing is a big thing, as is owning second and third homes as investment properties. My upstairs neighbour with a middle-management job and a stay at home wife owns the largest suite in my building, plus two rental condos. It's way, way more common than you think.
