Musk will just replace them with some cadets who worked for him as interns.

I couldn’t see the US electing Trump a first or second term either, but here we are.

We did flames last time.

This time it’s wind and water.

There’s shipping on both coasts though, as well as direct flights. Those should be able to avoid US interference.

I stopped buying Lay’s when they stopped being Hostess.

Interesting… from that list, the only US thing I currently buy is French’s mustard.

However, I’m still trying to figure out how to boycott US produce — Washington apples and Florida oranges, and all the other stuff Loblaw’s stocks even though there are Canadian and International alternatives.

Maybe Loblaw’s (and the local markets) will start providing more local and South American options now….

And many of us think they aren’t.

The headline isn’t stupid in a vacuum, but it implies things that are demonstrably false and others that are just known fact.

My takeaway was “why were there vacant seats?” And neither the headline nor the article cover that.

The government is tasked with keeping those seats filled. The reason to keep them vacant is usually to concentrate senate power in a smaller number of individuals who are easier to influence. Filling those seats is a GOOD thing to prevent abuse of elected power, unless there’s provable evidence that the senate is being stacked with hyperpartisan people in a manner that skews to a particular political ideology. That doesn’t appear to be happening here.

It’s not in my profile, but if you search my work address, my profile is the single result.

That’s what I do, but they tied my work email to my LinkedIn profile anyway… I keep my personal life offline aside from work and use pseudonyms on systems like this, so they aren’t linking the rest of my life, but they didn’t have any issues tying down my professional identity.

Just a warning that LinkedIn and the like try to link your private and corporate information.

Unconvincing to whom? That campaign did an amazing job of equating copyright to property ownership for an entire generation.

It’s not accurate, but I think we’ve seen that it can be very convincing for most people.

Theoretically, the SIM has its own MAC that’s used for routing on the cellular network; however, the network is required to route 911 calls even without a SIM, and that’s done via IMEI.

Why exactly does vehicleprivacyreport want my VIN instead of year make and model? That’s me giving an unvetted third party website the unique tracking token for my car….

And only some e-bikes have a built-in cell phone.

I remember when I had to set my VCR to record a program I wanted to watch; if YouTube gets that bad, I’ll just do the same thing; pre-record the video stream and skip the commercials.

The difference is that my ad blocker is quick and painless to set up, where TiVo involved some capital and planning.

With the limited size of our domestic population, it always blows me away that there are enough Canadians living in countries like Lebanon to populate a small city.

Has UW never met Barbara Streisand before?

But wait… didn’t China say the re-education camps were a hoax, that Muslims have the same rights as everyone else in China, and that any issues they’d been having had already been resolved?

If recommendations are being provided to me as a service and the algorithm that goes into it is relatively transparent, I have no issues.

If advertising is based on the value an advertiser sees in the product being advertised, I have no problem.

If I’m the product being sold or an ad distribution network is involved, I’ve got a problem.
