North American food production involves all of those, so capitalism still wins!

given it’s issues with anything other than flat, level, dry terrain, I would suspect it would lose traction, capsize, shut down, catch fire, or any combination of those the moment the tires break skin and liquid becomes involved.

fresh prince made me think things were a lot better than they really were back then.

Fresh Prince had a lot of references to the fact that racism was alive and well in the 90s. Many of those episodes also focus around the theme that even though the Banks’ were wealthy, it still didn’t stop them from being discriminated against, and even caused discrimination from other black people.

This can be generalized to say that programming has become such a diverse profession that you will find experts in one area that know very little about others. There’s simply too many things that are programmed in too many ways for anyone to know it all anymore. Hell, that was the case in the 70’s and 80’s too.

I’ve been using it to write unit tests, I still need to edit them to mock out some things and change a bit of logic here and there, but it saves me probably 50-75% of the time it used to take, just from not having to hand-write all that code.

It’s that old time rock and roll

Ontario more or less did that a couple decades ago. Taxpayers funded the 407 which is a toll highway through Toronto. The Conservatives under Mike Harris in 1999, effectively “sold” the 407 to a foreign company for a paltry $3bn (technically, a 99 year lease, but for us that’s about the same as being sold).

The highway has since generated many multiples of that in revenue that is not going to fund Government projects, but to line the pockets of an investment conglomerate. As a result, rates have increased despite an “agreement” with the government to maintain rates as long as there is sufficient traffic, which has been exceeded and is steadily increasing.

Only when it benefits them, however.

Of course it’s a lab, they’re the ‘one orange braincell’ of dogs

Violent rebellion rarely results in a government that those rebelling wished for, unless those rebelling wish for authoritarian government. Egalitarian governance is often born from long-term persistence to addressing the needs of the population and a general rejection of policies from the wealthy.

That being said, a population under an authoritarian regime often need to use violence to (attempt to) trigger the shift into a more egalitarian government. In France’s case it worked (for a while), but took several attempts to get there.

Creating lasting policy which truly works for the population requires that the population is healthy, fed, housed, and educated - if any of these are missed, then there is a significant risk of a right-wing shift.

True, but it’s not usually as coded as this or if it is, it’s a symbol that is common to all - more corporate logo than DaVinci code.

Fully agree, however, the press has done that before and he just shuts down the question with some remark about the reporter and if they press, he walks out. Aside from physical restraint, I don’t think we will see him submit to any real questioning.

Also in my 40’s and recently diagnosed. I filled out a questionnaire, and the doc asked a few surface-level questions, then proceeded to describe my entire childhood-young adult life. He was not wrong on any detail.

Towing capability is decided by frame and braking capacity far more than engine power. A Toyota Yaris is more than capable of pulling a boat at highway speeds, but it’s too small and it’s brakes are too weak to control it.

He can retire on a full federal pension, the only way it would get higher would have been if his party won last night. He has not, and will not, need to acquaint himself with the real world.

Something like this is useful as well if you have a large item to convert since you can offload that processing to your server/NAS and not have it bog down your PC/phone/etc

Going out on a limb that most of the Filipinos in that crowd didn’t vote for Trump, being that it happened in Canada

I don’t know if it’s as likely as the G&M says, 338Canada is still giving him a 93% chance of winning his seat https://338canada.com/35020e.htm - It’s come down some, but I doubt there’s going to be some sort of red wave there to oust him

I can’t tell you what they would do differently if they were Nazis
