The pope was elected in 5 votes though.

saigot@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Pierre Poilievre Refuses To Leave His Taxpayer-Funded Mansion After Losing Seat | The Rational National6·7 hours agoThe leader of the opposition is entitled to a house to stay in. PP isn’t technically the leader any more because the opposition leader (unlike the PM) must hold a seat. Until he wins the by election he shouldn’t really be living there.

Best you can do is a prime minister that slowly takes away the kings power of the course of a 100 moves until the king is purely ceremonial and gets removed if it makes any move. the prime minister is a slow moving piece that has to change direction every 4 moves and if it can move to protect another piece it must do so or be demoted back to a pawn the next move.

I mostly play support, but if I queue as both Support and DPS I will almost always get a DPS game, last night I got 8 games in a row as DPS.

There are good ones and bad ones so do your research, I look for queer inclusiveness and a strong consent policy. Mine has a good 5 minute talk to new members to describe both basic consent and the specific consent rules of the club.
Although to be clear sex and nudist are not the same
Just so we are on the same page, could you share an example of this harm being observed?
If you don’t eat the brain you’ll have a much much lower risk (your link suggests about 9x less likely), and if the person you eat wasn’t a cannibal then your risk is lower still.
Also worth mentioning that Kuru is a specific disease for natives in Papua new guinea , and it only existed for about 100years and was going away on it’s own when the cannibalistic practice was outlawed.
I think the health risks of cannibalism is very exaggerated.
(this is not an endorsement of cannibalism)
saigot@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Cardinal Prevost elected Pope Leo XIV, first USA pontiff13·5 days agoThe biblical explanation:
The first pope was the apostle Simon, Jesus personally renamed him to Peter, meaning rock, because he was being reborn to become the foundation/rock of the new church. Subsequent popes rename themselves to signify their rebirth.
The historical explanation:
in 533 John II decided it would be inappropriate for a Pope to be named after a pagan god (Mercurius, his birth name), by the 10th century popes were largely from France and Germany but wanted to sound like their italian predecessors and so began renaming themselves. This happened enough to just become a tradition, with the last pope not getting renamed being in 1555 (Marceullus II)
Same could be said about men in bed 🤭
Sorry I couldn’t resist
My experience is that while it’s useful for creating code from scratch it’s pretty alright if you give it a script and ask it to modify it to do something else.
For instance I have a cron job that runs every 15min and attempts to extract .rar files in a folder and email me if it fails to extract. Problem is if something does go wrong it emails me every 15minutes until I fix it. This is especially annoying if its stuck copying a rar at 99%.
I asked deepseek to store failed file names in a file and have the script ignore those files for an increasing amount of time for each failure. It did a pretty good job, although it changed the name of a variable halfway through (easy fix) and added a comment saying it fixed a typo despite changing nothing about that line. I probably probably would have written almost identical code but it definitely saved me time and effort
saigot@lemmy.cato Technology@beehaw.org•Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive2·7 days agoA huge chunk of FreeBSD and Linux development is done by salaried workers who want specific functionality. Microsoft is the biggest contributor to the Linux kernel for instance. I don’t think there is much apetite for that in web browsers. Linux is an industry leader in the server space, adding features to it that complement whatever you make for profit is a good move. Firefox is unfortunately barely relavent in the browser space, if your product relies on Firefox exclusive features it isn’t going to go well for you.

saigot@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Trump Is Plotting Shock-and-Awe ‘Purge’ of White House Staff36·11 days agocan he purge himself?
A lot of good things happened for the CPC under PP (unfortunately for the rest of us). Trudeau had to step down, the carbon tax is gone, the CPC gained seats and secured a record number of votes and the “far left” has been wrecked. While the liberal narrative is that PP fumbled a huge lead, I think cons see it more as carney resetting all the work PP did to discredit Trudeau, as trump interfering with the election (for his own gain, they think Carney is weak and will fold to trump) and they see the polls tightening as the election got closer (and him out preforming them) as a sign of PP’s success. They think Carney will show his true colours soon enough and become as unpopular as Trudeau, allowing PP to win.
O’toole didn’t acomplish much of anything during his time, the CPC mainly stayed the same or slightly declined despite liberals being steeped in controversy.
Sheer one his leadership race by a very small margin while the CPC (and right wing politics in general) was having an identity crisis, while they gained ground under him they did not make the strides they expected. Sheer also had that financial scandal.
I think PPs perceived performance is much closer to Harpers first loss. but even that isn’t a great comparison IMO we are in new territory, exciting times and all that.
Disclaimer: I voted green, when I talk about good or bad here I’m putting myself in the shoes of a conservative voter, and I’m talking about perception as the right wing sees it, not necessarily fact. Their feelings don’t care about your facts :D
saigot@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Let's not kid ourselves: the election results show Canada is in great danger2·12 days agoHouses are expensive even in bumfuck no where and the point of modular buildings and wartime measures is that it drops a large amount of the bureaucracy without compromising on quality like deregulating would.
I agree zoning and sprawl are problems though, there isn’t as much the feds can do about it as it’s more a provincial and municipal concern. The planned high speed rail (a Trudeau thing not a carney thing tbf) along the toronto-montreal corridor should help somewhat reduce the sprawl. As someone who lives an hour east of Toronto, I do wish it was planned to extend to me.
saigot@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Let's not kid ourselves: the election results show Canada is in great danger2·12 days agoBoth the ndp and the bloc are pretty weak now, they’ll need quite a bit of time to fundraise, for ndp to get a new leader and to figure out a response to carneys new governance style. Both of them need to be willing for an election to happen before it will happen. I think this will be a fairly long minority government unless carney does something truly awful or there is yet another change in the global order.
saigot@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Let's not kid ourselves: the election results show Canada is in great danger5·12 days agoThe Crown corp and modular homes seems like a pretty great way of adding a lot of affordable homes. I just hope the government lasts long enough for it to actually kick off. It’s not perfect and it doesn’t solve capitalism, but it will help if executed well.
If I were to bet, I’d say we’ll see the effects just in time for an election, and cpc will take over and take the credit.
