Anything (not illegal and within reason) goes. Post corn if you’re upset about that 🌽.

Hurry! Stir up more bullshit, we need to distract from Iran which was our distraction from the Epstein Files!!!

We were pretty well integrated with the USA over the last 30-odd years, to our mutual benefit and detriment. For the last 10 we’ve seen the vocal minority of Maple MAGA say with Maxime Bernier’s People Party, but also the Conservative moment aligning itself (if not merging with) MAGA.

Under the Trudeau government, his government’s foreign affairs philosophy was internationalism. Which generally made Canadians not really attached to their national identity, and our national symbols started to represent some of the colonial skeletons we were in the process of digging up. What made things worse is that the Ottawa Trucker Convoy was awash with Canadian symbols but they were a MAGA-coup-turned-nuisance-occupation. Most Canadians were either disappointed or disgusted at what national pride had come to represent the worst of us.

Though since Trump has been threatening Canada a lot, I think things have turned for the better, and non-MAGA people at-large have taken back the mantle of nationalism to decouple it from racism and bigotry. The !buyCanadian@lemmy.ca and !boycottUS@lemmy.ca movements are still active. I’ve not completely gotten rid of every American thing yet but like for 90% of stuff I have, and I actively look for alternatives every time before I buy, and discovered Canadian small to medium businesses I never would have come across otherwise.

I’ll be honest, I don’t like the way AI is pushed and speculation ruining the price of computing, but it has helped me once or twice. For example I used someone’s vibecoded driver patch to get a relatively ancient audio interface working, which was the last thing that I would have missed using Windows for.

While I am sympathetic to the government’s and non-Cowichan tribes’ issue, amending the DRIPA legislation to make it weaker and easier to weasel around isn’t the way to do it, if the information in the letter is a true reflection of the proposed amendments.

Is the USDoJ going to actually present a credible argument in the Abrego Garcia case at last?

Bondi’s jail sentence could be until the DOW is back above 50 000. 🤣

Ok works great! One bug report, one feature request:

• 4 frigates ran aground from their guard circling… if near the coast they should circle the other direction. Or this is Hegseth’s Navy.
• As an oil tanker can we get a red or green flag/spot to indicate whether our destination is in bound or outbound? I survived for a while but wasn’t sure if I was going the right way and autopilot was going crazy.

So you’re arguing that the cost and regulation barriers are higher than renewable development. Are those increased costs proportional to the benefit to the higher baseload, and would an equivalent baseload not be able to be met through battery storage?

Womp womp. The American negotiating team can go cry us a Fraser/Saskatchewan/Niagara/St. Lawrence.

I mean the industrial barriers to developing new nuclear energy are (AFAICT) similar to the industrial barriers to developing the production and Euro-sovereign supply chain for new battery solar and wind generation. Happy to be shown differently if you can point to me some differences that would have nuclear development require fewer physical resources, time or money.

I think some development in Small Modular Reactor tech is promising. Any in-progress or in-operation nuclear should stay the course. But if there was one technology we could choose to either ride fully into or vastly increase development alongside nuclear and other energy sources, the drastic cut in costs for renewables with battery storage seem to me like the silver bullet to the climate crisis everyone was waiting for, we just need our governments to pursue it NOW. In Italy’s particular case, tidal energy seems very suitable due to its massive coast relative to land size.

I’m agreed with you. The German Grüne logic doesn’t make much sense to close nuclear before coal.

However for new production, solar and wind makes more fiscal and technological sense than new nuclear.

I was “playing” on mobile, but since there are no touch controls, so my cute little quadcopter was flying straight with no aim in particular and got blown up :)

Oil was flowing through the Strait fine without US help. Now look at what they did.

YSK if you mention a Mastodon user handle in the body of a Lemmy Post, they will be notified to every comment in the thread, including second and third level replies.

I am glad Avi is on Masto and posts somewhat regularly.

I mean, I can’t blame the posters right now since a non-credible leader has provoked a non-credible war last month.

There have been plenty of posts making of fun of Russia since they started their three day special military operation in Ukraine which will be done any year now. America and Israel’s war on Iran is just the hot new thing with plenty of armchair takes abound, even directly from the government supposedly in charge of this.

Congrats on making the jump! Have a nice time with us on Lemmy and Piefed.

If there’s no conveniently available version with the artist credit in the image, a link to the artist’s page in the post body I think would suffice.

Time to add cbat

Sir Paul, come join feddit uk then! We Lemmings would love to have you.
