Feels very undemocratic for cabinet to be able to remove democratically elected officials that they disagree with.

Balatro, the Joker Poker has me deep in it's clutches.

In other news, water is wet.

Like, no shit, an incredibly wealthy guy wants to continue avoiding taxes on his profits? Say it ain't so!

We should prioritise immigrants with construction skills then. There should be some within the hundreds of thousands of applicants.

Plenty of them still do, I've got friends who are builders and electricians and they're making nearly double what I do in an office job.

They should actually build some public housing, instead of just handing more money to developers through third party non-profits.

Build more public housing.

Probably the ones outlined here, which you should be aware of, given there are statements from you included in the article: https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/

Use the checkered deck lol it's like cheat mode for the higher stakes.

10 hour response time? That is absolutely absurd to start with.

Then when they do show up they do nothing and leave again? What is even happening?

Canadians who support the return of the death penalty primarily cite four reasons: Deterrence (50 per cent), a punishment that fits the crime (also 50 per cent), saving taxpayers money and the costs associated with having murderers in prison (48 per cent) and closure for the families of murder victims (47 per cent).

48% of respondents aren't aware that it's more expensive to execute someone due to the appeals process.

They are probably using the default installed theme, which doesn't have scalable icons so everything is horribly pixelated. Not sure why it's still the default, but as you said it's pretty easy to change.

Scummy move by the teacher for sure, but 1.6 million dollars is an insane amount.

That's what Xbox's will probably end up being too, haha.

It's number 2 for me, after Princess Mononoke.

401k, RRSP, etc.

Retirement investment account.

I know I should, I've gotten a couple of chapters in, but I just started the First Law trilogy and it's so good. Definitely after that though, definitely...

For Asimov, I'd recommend starting with his short story Nightfall. It's magnificent.

Foundation is also incredible.

My current pile is somewhat small, as I've just culled it and also started to use my eReader more, but it currently is:

• The Gunslinger by Stephen King
• A few Wheel of Time books
• Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
• The Shadow of What Was Lost by James Islington
• The Anatomy of a Story by John Truby

Love when that mult mults.
