... And while earning a shit-ton for being a meeting app far more reliable and even-sounding than fucking teams.

If someone reported people for statements unkind to Mr Kirk, my group would be 100% reported to my boss ... but nothing would happen. 🇨🇦

I had a green DeCSS shirt. It was awesome. I ditched it while coming over the border.

My peer used the newton for comp sci class notes. Daily. Exclusively.

Then she went on to mastermind the behaviour and tactics of Myth: The Fallen Lords.

It's tenuous, but I say that's causal.

Please, can Canada cement its place as a fan of democratic socialism? We have some Flatlanders, demented from lack of shoreline, who consistently vote for the lackeys of American oil companies to run the services and manage resources entrusted in them via a policy that resembles a badger driving a school bus.

relocate this investment (and hence the jobs) either to Mexico or Canada

Canada would likely welcome this investment, but it will be tricky to choose a site given all our Flatlanders are demented from not seeing Ocean.

So, pick a region with a shoreline, and hope that's enough.

My in-laws retired after a lifetime of union work - carpenter and nurse. It's given them a retirement that has let them, among other things, go to Venice 4 times.

But they're model Canadians and I think they'd be the least likely to block a through-way or make a spectacle of themselves. But they realize that just walking through the city has impact just from their mere presence.

It's too late for them but I get why they'd go back. Venezians (Venetians?) are cursed with a beautiful city and it makes their existence a struggle because tourists are dinks. I grew up in a tourist town and I hate tourists even when I am one, and even though to try to represent my polite country reputation as well as I can.

Can we consider going in the off-season? How can we preserve the city for future citizens and visitors?

Can we please drastically raise the price for everything and then award the residents a monthly stipend to completely offset it as well as using the rest for maintenance and restoration of the exteriors while we improve the infrastructure? I don't mean to sound posh, because it's more a value proposition: I'd pay extra to be able to go, if it means that extra revenue will allow that to happen. I'm willing to wait until I can foot the bigger bill, even if that means I never get to go.

Is there a better idea that allows the activity of selfish people like me who want to one day see it, preserve it for people like me; but most importantly for the residents who have to suffer my gawking and smiling for a week?

bad faith arguments till

Is that a particular kind of cash-drawer ?

Is that prison alien or Michael Wincott alien? Both were excellent and pushed the lore a bit.

Copilot leads me on flights of fanciful code that is absolutely not possible, and the joy turns to tragedy when I find out it lied insidiously about a particular niche function the entire time.

Wait. Is this beanie babies or magic cards?

With the spelling mistake?

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?
