Ford said that would run contrary to a free market.

“There’s no better way of letting people get lower costs on no matter if it’s cars or homes or groceries, than competition”

Nothing like a good old price-fixing scheme between friendly oligarchs to really affirm the spirit of competition.

I’ve met 7th graders with a better understanding of economics.

I used Opus 4.6 Extended

Stop being cheap, OP. You clearly just need to shell out multiple billions of dollars for access to mythos /s

This song is so big in my part of the country it’s hard to believe it’s not an international hit. Good nomination!

If this is the type of person the Liberals are able to convince to join them, I shudder to think about what’s in store for us under a Carney majority.

Corey Perry’s team has lost in the stanley cup finals 6 years in a row*. He’s back on the Lightning this season and they’re looking strong. I predict the curse continues.

* ok technically the streak was broken in 2023 when Tampa got bounced by the Leafs, but the fact the Leafs won a playoff series at all makes that season such a historical aberration it deserves an asterisk.

I remember finding a series of children’s books by the name Vampirates at my local library roundabout the mid-2000s. I don’t recall much about the plot but I’m confident the elements you’re looking for were all in there.

To add a tiny bit of technical detail here, vanilla Arch enforces support for x86_64 v1, meaning all software available in the Arch repos is built to not use any cpu feature that didn’t exist in v1. Not a bad thing since it allows for support of older (64 bit) hardware, but it does leave like 20 years of microarchitecture advancement on the table.

According to the CachyOS website, they have repos with software built for v3 and v4 which can apparently juice your rig for an extra 20% performance.

Yes. In Alberta, especially in the central/northern region, the time change doesn’t serve any particular purpose. Our daylight hours are very long in the summer and very short in the winter, so changing the specific time the sun rises and sets hardly makes a difference.

Personally I prefer standard time over DST, and I think a lot of people here share that opinion. We probably would have switched over years ago if our government had any shred of competence.

*Supports Avi Lewis*

*Joins Liberals*

At least with the Conservative floor crossers, you can see how they would get the idea of Carney maybe helping advance their ultimate goals. But this does not make sense to me. The way Carney is governing is pretty much at odds with Avi Lewis-type policy.

All of this seems impossible to enforce in the FOSS ecosystem. People can just fork the software and remove any restriction they don’t like. That’s kind of the whole point of free software. Users are free to use their devices however they like, including in ways that are not intended by the devloper.

And the address space is big enough you can choose a new random address between every connection to avoid tracking.

It pisses me off how this is the second time Danielle Smith’s party is going to get bailed out by a war.

They’re terrible at running the province 99% of the time, but the moment it seems like the consequences might finally catch up – nope! The price of oil jumps and everyone says “oh yeah, I guess they’re doing fine,” and stops paying attention again.

Alberta voted in a government who ran on balancing the budget through the magic of oil prices. Only a couple short years later, all of our public services are in crisis mode and the budget is worse than ever before because the price of oil didn’t meet their projections. But hey, at least they got rid of that annoying photo radar thing, so you can let off some steam via road rage if the O&G market has got you feeling down. Bonus points if you run over any cyclists or trans kids.

Looking forward to 40 more years of backwards bullshit in this province.

Subscribed/New most of the time, but I check All/Active every once in a while to see if there’s any drama going on.

Sometimes I’ll hit All/Scaled when I’m really desperate.

That’s the joy of hockey, even the best teams lose sometimes. Anything can happen, that’s what makes it so fun to watch. And that’s why they play best-of-seven in the NHL.

Canada definitely deserved to win, and I’m proud of how well they played against an unbelievably stacked US team. Once it got to overtime it was pretty much a coin toss.

You have to admit, even as a Canada supporter, Jack Hughes scoring that goal like 10 minutes after getting half a tooth knocked out is such an iconic moment for hockey.

Not to make excuses but Czechia did have 6 players on the ice.

Wow, someone should tell the City of Edmonton about this. Last year they eliminated physical parking machines in the city, and there is a QR code on basically every parking sign now. I wonder if anyone considered how vulnerable QR codes are to these imitation scams.

I assume they already have active countermeasures in place, but then again, online-only street parking seems rather ill-conceived to begin with.

2, so I can join forces with Marc Kennedy in going around the plane and telling everyone to fuck off. Then I’m gonna ask Ms. Freeland to help shove Danielle Smith into an overhead compartment.

I’m getting an “owner of the dimmsdale dimmadome” vibe

Maybe it’s a form of male birth control? I don’t imagine an array of IR lasers delicately roasting your nuts would benefit fertility.
