Most people don't think of it this way, but if you live in North America or Europe, you are part of the global 1%.

That's exactly where all the value is. Selling people's fucking genetic information. What makes it even more valuable is that it can be used against all subsequent descendants of the person that willingly gave it up. Do a DNA test like this and you're selling out your entire family.

Spicy water. Gross.

It's not like he needs to uphold the deal beyond ending the war. The US certainly doesn't honour its agreements anymore.

Thats how the murder of a Serbian devolved into a world war

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was Austrian.

You should familiarize yourself with Telsat Canada's LEO plans. Should be complete in less than 2 years.

A balloon full of jam

The USDA was certainly not spared the doge axe, they closed offices all along what will soon be the battlefront in this war.

Tell me you're American without telling me you're American. That hasn't been an option where I am for nearly 2 decades.

luck favors the bold

As my dad used to say, 'The feint of heart never fucked the fair maiden'.

I just rewatched Earth Girls are Easy last week and that'd be on my list.

90 minutes of prime Gina Davis in a bikini doesn't hurt either.

Why is it ALWAYS the sports companies?

Because that's the biggest broadcast rights moneymaker. Cable would be full and truly dead without sports.

Public services are also required when providing a service to service level expectations wouldn't be profitable otherwise. We expect and demand that the post office deliver to every remote outpost in the country for whom there is no alternative, regardless of expense. Those deliveries could be anything, including something like medication. If you privatize it, a private company would immediately and naturally cut loose those unprofitable routes.

So in that way, it is an awful lot like healthcare. If you consider postal service a right, then it's functionally no different.

Privatization of liquor in Alberta has worked out amazingly well. Booze is cheaper and there's a liquor store every 100 meters, some open well past midnight. It's an alcoholic's dream.

There's always recycling. Or changing that final character from a 1 to a 2, etc. The human brain just cant handle the complexity otherwise.

The US could take over Canada in an afternoon. But the ensuing guerrilla insurgency would be unlike anything the US has ever experienced.

Fyi, Skype was officially killed by Microsoft on May 5th, earlier this month.

Username checks out

One of the security upsides to plex is that any number of people can log in with the same credential.

That means that while Plex can harvest information- what account, what's being watched, IP address, device and player identifier- It doesn't know who to attach that information to. So you can get dozens or maybe hundreds of users polluting the same account with watch information. Less useful information to be sure.
