You have absolutely no clue how any part of our economy works, do you? Even if we could change the rules with a snap of our fingers, it still wouldn’t happen instantly since the actual physical capacity does not yet exist.

I’m not worried about dropping it, but I can see myself throwing it out after I unintentionally activate one of the side buttons for the 45,000th time.

That’s not the kind of thing you can do instantly, and it’s definitely not the kind of thing you do while publicly shouting about it.

He already hates Trudeau and is taking it out on Canada. There’s not a whole lot more he’s going to be able to do without pissing off all his non-russian masters.

Maybe it’s a location thing, but most courses around me are open to the public. Of the private ones I know of, one is exclusively for the owners of the McMansions on the course itself, and realistically, that would just be a choice between golf course or more McMansions. In that particular case, the golf course is probably the better choice for the environment.

They usually are on the outskirts. The land value alone is too high in the city.

Also, not everything has to be about max efficiency. People enjoy golfing, so there should be somewhere for them to golf.

They also use more land for just about every sport and recreational activity that requires a dedicated facility.

Unless the area is out of space, and the golf course existing is the only reason why a given wind/solar project isn’t going forward, the comparison is pretty useless.

I think is more like living next to the house where they used to throw non-stop cocaine fueled parties on the weekends. Problem is, they’ve recently switched from cocaine to meth.

To this day, I will not drive directly behind a logging truck because of that scene.

The purpose is to destabilize.

To be fair, I think game worlds could be the one place where the odd AI hallucinations could be fun as hell.

If you are referring to Iraq, not selling oil to the US wasn’t their big sin; it was trying to establish international oil trading in a currency other than USD.

That’s not how you become rich-er. To become rich in the first place, you need to try real hard to be born rich, or be one of the four people per generation that get stupid lucky.

I guess that depends on the person. I always found that I remembered the basic ones, and just re-derived forgotten ones on the fly.

I guess I just look at it as a reflection of where local support is at, more than it being actual support.

I never really got the pushback on corporations participating in LGBT events. Corporations aren’t people, they’re just amoral money making machines. Any support they give to the LGBT community is just a reflection of the leadership of the company thinking that it is more profitable to be seen as supportive. It seems like a sign of progress at least.

I always found physics to be good for that. For that class understanding is more important than raw memorization, and cramming won’t help you understand.

I don’t remember that far back, but I do remember using floppy’s to upgrade Windows 95 to 98.

Maybe it’s just a generational difference, but when I was a teenager, who I thought was cool was usually just band members of my favourite bands. Since social media wasn’t a thing, there was nothing they were trying to sell us other than CDs, t-shirts, and concert tickets. Even then, there was usually a mental separation between the person and the art, so when the person turned out to be a trash bag, it had very little influence on fans.

On the plus side, it’s seems like most our our public response has ranged from “no thanks” to “here, let me warm up this poker real quick so you can go fuck yourself with it.” Hopefully Poilievre is somewhere in that range and not among the other minority.
