Wow that link threw me for a second. I was trying to figure out what CSIS was doing with a .org website.

You forgot your /s. People seem to be thinking you are serious.

Our eggs Our cheap because most of the supply is domestic, and our domestic supply is stable. The Ukrainian supply is replacing the US supply that is no longer available, and is going to commercial buyers, not store shelves.

Canada doesn’t really have the same kind of massive factory farming practices that the US does, and the bird flu problem is already far more contained. I think this is mostly a show of support for Ukraine kind of thing.

I don’t think you’d ever have a peripheral power the tv. The use case I’m envisioning is power and data going to the panel via this single connector from a base box that handles AC conversion, as well as input (from Roku etc) and output (to soundbar etc.). Basically standardizing what some displays are already doing with proprietary connectors.

Headroom and safety factor. Current screens may draw 120w, but future screens may draw more, and it is much better to be drawing well under the max rated power.

I think it’s aimed at TVs in general, not computer monitors. Many people mount their TVs to the wall, and having a single cable to run hidden in the wall would be awesome.

If you are burying the waste, you’d be using a mine that is below the impermeable bedrock layer. There would be no leeching at all.

And using the most expensive project on the planet as your reference is disingenuous as best. Most other projects cost less than a third of that.

Additionally, almost no one is ever suggesting that nuclear is a 100% replacement. Most people suggest nuclear baseload with renewables+battery for peaks.

Depends on the reactor type. I know the CANDU reactors that Canada uses are very difficult to meltdown since they use unenriched uranium fuel, and if the deuterium moderator disappears due to a missile strike or something, the reaction just fizzles instead of running away.

• 10 km which direction? If it’s buried 1km down, you can stick it directly below my home for all I care.

• not sure who told you that nuclear reactors cost half a trillion dollars to build, or are you thinking they would be building 30+ reactors?

• closed loop cooling of reactors is a thing. There’s zero reason to ever have drinking water restrictions.

• this doesn’t make sense. Why would the price of electricity double to maintain the status quo? I thought you were paying for the reactors out of income taxes?

Long story short, there’s plenty of valid reasons to argue against nuclear power. Use those reasons, not made up bullshit.

He’s adding tariffs to uninhabited islands, and islands that do no trade with the US. He has no idea how any of this shit works.

My order of operations is Canadian -> European -> Anywhere else on the planet -> Decide if I actually need the thing or not -> Chinese -> American.

I don’t know what is going on at Microsoft. I’m starting to think that they are trying to pivot to a completely different business model. In addition to this Windows 11 crap and XBox seemingly being given up on, they appear to be losing their embedded market as well. In the past, if you saw any screen in an industrial setting, there’s a good chance that there was the embedded Windows version behind that screen. Lately, all the new products are moving over to Linux.

My guess is that’s it’s easier to neatly package your data up for when they go to sell it.

That’s not really relevant here. This is more of a “genie is out of the bottle and now we have to learn how to deal with it situation”. The idea and technology of bots and AI training already exists. There’s no socioeconomic system that is going to magically make that go away.

Ok, I now need a screensaver that I can tie to a cloudflare instance that visualizes the generated “maze” and a bot’s attempts to get out.

Does Greenpeace even have any assets they could be made to pay with if they wanted to?

It’s like Canada has switched from embracing our polite and slightly passive aggressive British side, to embracing our “fuck the consequences and fuck you” not-so-polite French side.

I’m here for it. I think we should start doing all official communication with the US in French. After all, it is one of our official languages, and I’m feeling awfully petty.

Remember kids, it’s not a war crime the first time. Gonna have to go back to being creative.

That’s one of the biggest things. The first time they voted for Trump, we could forgive them, since it was hard to predict that he would be quite that awful. But this time? They knew. They knew what he was, what he stood for, and what he would do. They knew, and they chose him anyway.
