Well, the shareholders want money. So it could solve that problem.

It feels like the media have already lost interest in the story. There isn’t nearly as much coverage as the last two times.

At this point we need to diversify our trading partners. Trump’s gonna do whatever he’s gonna do. We’ve gotta do what’s best for us.

The guide seems to be aimed at attendees, rather than organizers and media. If someone is showing up to add their voice to the protest, then leaving their phone at home is an ideal way to minimize their footprint.

If you can, leave your phone at home

That’s it! There’s the answer!

We allocated $1.3b in early December as a response to Trump’s initial tariff threat.

Monday’s 270-page budget document outlined key new expenditures including C$1.3 billion for border agencies over six years, an attempt to avert Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs unless the flow of migrants and fentanyl over the crossing is halted.

We budged.

I don’t think it was the wrong choice, but I don’t think it had the desired effect.

Framework isn’t sharing any idea of pricing today, beyond that it will be “lower cost” compared to the Framework Laptop 13, which typically starts at around $750 for a DIY model with previous-gen chips or $1,100 for a prebuilt with the latest ones.

I really hope they can get the price low. I briefly looked at Framework in the fall, but I couldn’t justify the price.

Scratch is the standard response for this stuff.

I tried to get my kids interested in programming around that age. One of them showed an interest, but bounced off it. I think it’s primarily a domain problem: kids rarely want to compute. Some are interested in games, but the theory of how to create a fun game is pretty tough, so they get discouraged and lose interest.

This is good advice. Ignore your reptilian hind brain and act like the person you want to be.

Yeah, sometimes you’ll need to stop and think about your options before making a decision, but you’ll be better for it.

This is a well written call to action: bullet points, concise headings, simple language, links to examples and reasoning.

It beats the usual manifestos that get posted.

It has a certain ring to it.

I thought we were all bots.

Whatever legal mechanisms exist need to be followed.

Didn’t get me wrong. I agree, the state has to follow its own laws and respect our constitution.

This is pretty much the issue: laws have to apply to people I dislike as much as they apply to people I like. That’s precisely why we have a constitution, etc.

As much as I dislike Elon and co, he deserves due process as much as everyone else.
