"And it's not even close"

She's in a statistical tie with "nobody".

Also consider that this comes at the expense of the quarterly cheques you were getting. Inflation is looking at cost of a basket of goods but doesn't "see" the rebate cheques as ever existing.

Western Canadian cities (pops of about 1mil) still have co-ops.

Not really an answer, just another data point for you.

Shorter than a dozen football fields

All the wenches would be sexy chickens

I kinda like the idea of the players constantly antagonizing the DM. Kermit could pull it off but I think he needs to be a player hero to pull off the script.

My dark horse Muppet DM pick is Sam the Eagle

It contains references the references to the rebuttals which are published in physics journals.

You forgot about DRE

For the record, I fucking hate Plex.

But this is a disingenuous simplification of where the gap is.

Me, my brother-in-law, and friend all share our libraries with the same elderly relatives.

The GAP is that great grandma has to log in/out between servers to find content that may or may not be on an individual server. Plex lets you search/aggregate from all sources without having to jockey credentials and servers.

It's not a giant ask. I heard a fucking absolutely brain-dead take that "that would require a centralized server which is against Jellyfins core ideology".

So, I dunno. Maybe it isn't YOUR use case, but it's MY use case. Doesn't make me a shill. I'm still pissed as hell.

But don't fucking pretend that there is feature parity when there isn't, and don't accuse me of being a shill just because Jellyfin literally doesn't support my use case. I WISH it did. I HATE PLEX.

People play real fast and loose with these terms.

My advice is to do what you're doing here, which is learn... But to remember to meet people where they're at.

By these definitions, with sex relating to biological things, you might be tempted to tell someone they can't just "decide" their sex, by this definition. Don't do it.

Not saying you would, but resist the urge to get into a semantic argument. Just ask the specific people what they mean by these words when they say them, and roll with it. Prioritize understanding over being understood.

This advice goes for anything, but this is a particularly spicy meatball.

Yeah re-reading that line, I think you're right that they intended "trans" to mean "masqueradeding as".

I agree with the sentiment, but you're right, it's not cool to use "trans" for that purpose. Thanks for poking me to more carefully consider how the word was used here.

For what it's worth, and maybe I'm naive, but I read that comment not about not meeting some criteria of what appears on a driver's license... But instead rebuking the notion that JD has acted with the integrity required to achieve "manhood".

English has really massacred the ability to clearly articulate concepts around biology, identifying as a boy or girl, and then having lived in such a way to have "ascended" to "manhood/womanhood".

JD Vance is a boy if he says he's a boy. Being a man isn't so simple. I reject that he is a man.

That would be amazing.

But since the conservative won with 82% of the vote, even it were a perfect split either would still handily trounce whoever the 18% rallied behind.

Like, this is why PP wants this riding. I'm pretty sure a literal mop bucket would still win the seat if they were the conservative candidate. I think he could drive into Hanna say "fuck Lanny fuck Nickelback and fuck you" and still easily win.

It's not at all the same.

This would give the PPC one seat total, and deprive the CPC of their current leader.

Your analogy is actually much more similar to PP WINNING the seat. The Liberals being so happy to call a special election is BECAUSE they LIKE keeping PP, the guy they just beat the leader of the CPC. If the libs drag their feet to give challengers the space to make a play for CPC leadership, they're rolling the dice. They're choosing the devil they know and beat. Their bet is they think PP is a guy they can beat again.

Makes a good litmus test

Assuming your financial decision making for a purchase of that magnitude isn't at the "we need to make this decision together" threshold: do it.

He doesn't HAVE to use it just because you bought/installed it.

Easy mistake to make. Also words can not describe my admiration and respect for someone who can leave a comment like this up with a humble edit.

I might double check your math if we split the cheque, but unlike 99% of the people on the internet, I already can tell that I would WANT to have a supper with you.

Great article!

My one critique would be with when FI is making a comparison between the US on some metric (eg, per capita income 2022)... The argument of "keep in mind Canada was enduring a global pandemic at that time" isn't a very sound counter-point. It was a global pandemic. If you want to say it depressed that number for Canada you have to explain why it didn't depress that number in the USA.

The rest are pretty good. The FI is a fucking joke.
