I was expecting this to be yet another transparent rug-pull scam, but I hadn’t even considered he might pull the rug out from under the entire global economy (at least not this way). Scary thought.

Given how the hard the postmedia gang is trying to portray this guy as an international elite who looks down his nose at common folk, I wouldn’t put it past the bootlickers over at the Edmonton Journal/Sun to pull a stunt like this.

To be fair though, Carney’s entire campaign thus far has been focused on demonstrating humble roots in a blue-collar town. Well, Laurier Heights aint that humble. Not that a person’s upbringing is necessarily relevant to their politics anyway. But that’s my ultimate point here - none of this matters. The entire discourse is just meaningless idpol noise. Canadian politics are such a joy.

Yeah, non-portable audio players don’t really seem to exist commercially as far as I can tell. I think a raspberry pi zero 2 would fit your needs rather well (it costs like $15), although the initial setup might constitute more hacking than you’re willing to put up with.

Folks in russia are crazy about figure skating.

If it’s through steam, I wouldn’t expect there to be any issues.

Just make absolute certain you have a backup copy of any save files before deleting your current OS, for the sake of your relationship… I can only imagine how many hours someone might have put into a game that came out in 2009. Definitely not speaking from personal experience haha

If both engines failed, that means they would have lost hydraulic power too, which is probably the reason they couldn’t extend the landing gear or try to go around a second time.

One of the theories floating around is that a bird strike caused one engine to flame out and the pilots pulled the cutoff switch on the wrong engine. It wouldn’t be the first time something like that happened.

I don’t know, but aiming for a short runway with a wall at the end doesn’t seem to work.

The more it hurts the more it shows you really care, right?

Making the best bed of what you have.

Either way, the policy is working as intended; there are fewer superfluous car trips being made to lower manhattan. If people are deciding not to go over a $9 fee, I don’t think they really needed to go that badly.

Found Danielle Smith’s lemmy account

I’m thinking more along the lines of we might not be able to trust our government (and therefore military) to do the right thing, independent of who wins the election.

It would be wise to put together some type of organization (reserve militia?) to be prepared for that contingency.

It’s getting to the point where I don’t think dicking around on internet forums is good enough. Every time trump repeat the phrase “51st state” it gets a little more serious. We need to start organizing irl like, yesterday.

There is still the bloc. Érable-flavoured national socialism is infinitely more tolerable than submitting to american imperialism.

Assuming they have the grace to make us all citizens and allow us to vote. I’m not holding my breath.

The sub went to shit practically overnight, and it happened right around the time of the freedumb convoy. I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

Remember when everyone thought putin was bluffing about Ukraine? Now would be an appropriate time to learn our lesson from that.

Next thing we know, trump will be launching a special operation to ‘defend’ the culturally american regions of alberta. Although he won’t have to do much, considering who’s currently in charge of the province.

I do not understand where they are making a profit

I think you’re overestimating how much money it costs to produce this stuff. Economies of scale and certain other practices in this specific industry allow retailers to sell stuff at a significant markup even when it seems like they’re giving customers a heavy discount.

But even with relatively large markup percentages, the low price point means retailers have to move incredible volumes in order to make enough money to stay open. So they end up using aggressive marketing tactics to get people to come in the door and start impulsively buying stuff.

My intuition is that those shirts are simply from last season and didn’t sell well enough or they’ve gone out of fashion. The store is using it as an opportunity to put a big 80% off sign out front and whip potential customers into a frenzy. Could also be a scheme to recover costs from online returns. But I really doubt there is anything wrong or even different about those shirts.

Did cats domesticate humans, or did Toxoplasma gondii domesticate both of us?

OP be careful, you’ve inadvertently spoken the sacred incantation and summoned the dreaded political content right into this very thread!
