Glass bottle, rag, and gasoline. Problem solved.

It’s Alberta after all; gas is cheap there.

If the US pulls defence from Taiwain and Taiwan falls to Chinese rule, the US still doesn’t get TSMC. In fact, they would be handing an essential resource to an enemy nation.

The US has absolutely nothing to bargain with in that situation.

Christ, the game industry is absolutely cooked.

Don’t threaten us with a good time. Snowden’s leaks unveiled just how shady and corrupt this agreement is.

Also does the US even have an intelligence sector any more? Or have they all been fired and replaced with toe-sucking morons?

AMD seriously needs to start taking driver support seriously.

Both my dad and myself have (begrudgingly) moved to Nvidia because we both got hit with constant driver timeout crashes. My dad also got rapidly flashing black and green screens countless times. I use my PC for work purposes so that kind of crap is unacceptable; I need absolute reliability that I can depend on.

Myself and so many other customers would love to see better bang-for-buck options in the GPU space like the good old days, but AMD really needs to sort this shit out. Intel has the excuse of being a brand new player that is working entirely from scratch, but AMD has been in the GPU game for decades and should know better. I mean, christ, their CPU division is basically printing money right now so they absolutely have the resources to fix this.

I send them my regards.

Now that Trudeau is out of the picture - who are they going to fuck now?

Ukrainian troops firing at Russians with weapons purchased with money from seized Russian assets.

That’s poetry right there.

“failed foreign economies”

Lol. Lmao, even.

Absolute clown.

My guess is that the Liberals will rise a little more in the polls once Carney is selected as leader, and he’ll use that moment to call an election. If he waits too long he risks PP potentially making a comeback.

Cons falling into potential minority territory.

Words cannot express how much of a relief that is. Even if the Liberals get ousted, I hope the Cons at least get a minority. A majority under PP would be… rough.

It’s a bit harder to know what information Apple collects and what they do with it because they’re more obscure about it. Unlike Google that immediately sells your information to the lowest bidder to slam ads in your face at every possible opportunity.

The lack of sideloading is indeed a large drawback. I do miss the apps I used to get off F-Droid when I had an Android phone. I’ve mostly replaced them with, well, nothing. I use my phone less and less as apps, and the internet in general, become more foul and toxic places to be.

Not an American, but I ended up with an iPhone simply because the cost difference between it and an Android device via my carrier wasn’t that big. It was also a previous generation model at a steep discount which helped a lot.

I am not a fan of Apple but if a company is going to screw me then at least Apple isn’t so in-my-face about it like Google is. Google’s data harvesting and ads are absolutely atrocious.

I used Blackberry right up until they ditched BB10. Sometimes I wonder if I should just get a feature phone because modern smartphones are awful things.

Gutting and stripping every single public service and government asset and selling it off to the first person that asks.

And then giving the money to his pals.

Essentially conservative basics 101.

Unfortunately made with American-made AI that uses data constructed with stolen Canadian artwork.

I don’t think I’ve read a single headline or article in recent years where HP wasn’t being called out for being an absolute steaming pile of dog shit.

You couldn’t pay me to use their products. What a rancid company.

Not exactly the same as what you mean, but A&W.

A&W restaurants here in Canada are entirely Canada owned and operated, based out of BC.

In the short term: Yes. Unless the US military decides to remove a sitting president but that is extremely unlikely.

In the long term: Yes, but also no. Fascism is extremely inefficient and expensive and the US is destroying its own economy and pushing away all of its allies and former trade partners. Things will get very rough but it will not last forever. There will be a lot of rebuilding that needs to be done.

Unfortunately this has been a long time coming. The United States has never really been united and it was only a matter of time before another possible civil war loomed on the horizon.
