Thanks for digging that one up. That's a pretty insane map to look at honestly. Just about everyone in BC either lives on, or near, a fault line. That really helps put the level of geological activity in the province in perspective.
I'd sure love to see how this will improve the cost of living in the US...
Who am I kidding? It's not like Trump has a track record of lying and taking people what they want to hear to get them to support him, then immediately stab them in the back.
What we should do imho, as a country, is launch a massive marketing campaign on all major networks in the US and tell people that the financial pain they're now feeling is all the fault of DC and get them to pursue their representatives to get Trump to undo this madness. It'll prove far more effective than retaliatory tariffs, because most folks in the US simply aren't aware of what the government is doing.
I refuse to believe that tweet is real on principal, but it's just tone deaf enough to have me question whether this might have actually been shat out by a corporate marketing team as part of some greenwashing effort.
If this is someone memeing however: Kudos, this one is very convincing despite being wildly ridiculous.
"Would you like your evil done in the traditional overt bombs-dropped-on-children fashion, or the new we'll-sell-your-entire-life-to-the-highest-bidder-while-feeding-you-non-stop-lies-to-establish-a-fascist-regime style, sir?"
This guy: Bomb some kids, at least it's a spectacle.
(Edit for clarification: I think both are bad, and one has a strong causal relationship with the other but I am not sure I would pick Raytheon personally. It's a bit too overtly evil for my tastes)
That's what I'm thinking reading this and other articles. It's like the Republican party is reaching to find increasingly desperate ways to get into Trump's graces, to the point that it feels like they're running out of ideas by this point and have started a race to the bottom debasing themselves for his amusement.
How does this man hold so much sway over them? He has the charisma of a wet rag, the character and patience if a toddler, and the long term vision of a house fly. Out of all the things I read about him and his cult, this is the one thing that baffles me the most.
They also laid off folks with H1Bs. No, I suspect the real story here is that someone somewhere got convinced these jobs could be done even cheaper by AI, so they're cutting folks to fund the datacenters basically.
There is a minimum required amount of bronzer you're required to apply to be accepted into the MAGA leadership. See also the transformation Ron DeSantis pulled.
It's not impossible to understand Danish as a Swede but it's different enough in terms of sounds, grammar, maths, etc. that it's indeed like an uncanny valley. It's close enough at first glance, but then gets really alien when you start to pay attention to it. It's like catching snippets of a conversation in otherwise white noise.
I have worked in Denmark too, and share your friend's experience - both sides default to English.
Accurate though. Danish sounds legit like super drunk Swedish at a distance, and uncanny valley up close to anyone speaking Swedish or Norwegian or German.
Thanks for sharing this. I didn't really vibe with it initially, but this cover has really grown on me. Miley doesn't hit the same high notes as Debbie but she puts a lot of power behind it and gives the song an entirely different vibe as a result. She's really singing her heart out here, and it shows.
I am simultaneously happy to see you're all back up and running again and mourning the loss of the sudden increase in productivity I had while you were down.
I am begging for a change to our voting system at this point almost as much as I am begging for people to actually read the election programmes. Look past the face on the TV, learn what they actually stand for folks!
