Turkeys.

Minimum viable product (MVP) is a term commonly used in project management. Typically it's approached from the perspective of "let's first do the work to meet the project requirements, and leave nice-to-have features as a stretch goal (i.e. only do it if the MVP is ahead of schedule). The antithesis of MVP is scope creep, which is what you seem to be suffering from.

Ever since that IT Crowd episode I can't not pronounce pedestal as "pedal stool".

You'd feel at home in Ontario.

• Toronto: Tronnah
• Grocery: grosheree

The surprising part is that the TSA actually managed to find something.

I bought one and put Bazzite on it. It's now my kids' gaming console. Integrated GPUs are perfectly cromulent for most casual games.

I think people are more upset about the net change. Marijuana pardons, but he also pardoned someone who embezzled millions, as well as Hunter (after saying he wouldn't). He also showed no sympathy for union workers, like when he signed return to work for striking rail workers.

It's your house's shrine to Anoia. Rattle it every once in a while.

Oh, you could pair him with that funny guy. Jack... Gray? Purple?

Might want to think twice. The liberal party (current party in power) is falling apart, and the populist conservatives are looking like they'll win the next election with a majority unless something changes significantly.

Provincially things are not much better either: Ontario is being run by a drug pushing grifter, the prairies took a hard right into ultra conservatism, the eastern provinces are essentially majority owned by a few rich families...

So you're saying that D-Link's reputation will increase as a result?

Same goes for financial or health liability.

He stopped worrying.

A & B: you assume that voting NDP would swing the votes from liberal to them. That. Is. Not. The. Case. In. My. Riding. I'm in a riding with so close a race historically that any vote other that liberal just guarantees a conservative seat. And I'm not going to take any action that gives the conservatives another seat.

I don't understand how voting for someone that lied about something as big as Voting reform is suppose to inspire optimism.

I'm not voting for the party leader. I'm voting for my riding's candidate.

Even if the Liberals won the next election most Canadian will still be worse off just not as bad.

"Never let perfect be the enemy of good enough." In your words, I'm voting for "less bad".

No, I could not split the conservative vote because I wouldn't vote conservative in the first place. In my riding I have one choice and one choice only, and that's to vote for the non-conservative candidate most likely to win, which happens to be liberal. Voting any other way is just throwing away my vote, which is a vote for the conservatives.

Because

a) The numbers may change between now and the election, b) even if the conservatives win, there's a chance to keep it from being a majority government, c) voting for a candidate in my riding that has zero chance to win will not make a chance, whereas by voting Lib I support a candidate that is more aligned with my views than the conservatives, and d) despite what you seem to be advocating with your rhetoric, I won't give in to defeatism.

Not giving the cons a federal government is the better of the long term strategies. We know the Conservatives want to emulate what's going on south of the border, and since I want to keep funding public services I'm going to swallow my pride and vote accordingly. Yes, an NDP win would be welcome, but I'll settle for a PC loss.

Strategic voting is still totally a plausible thing in my riding. Conservatives are consistently at 40% or so voter count, so I either vote for the liberal candidate that has been able to beat the cons by 1%, or I split the vote and hand the cons another riding.

Ayden, Brayden, Kayden, Bobayden... Can probably generalize this to "unique" spellings like Kayleygh, Kyrsrtyn, etc.

Waiting for Ruth to be popular again. No one makes pies like Ruth.
