There’s crazy of all kinds (I won’t hesitate even for a minute to admit I’m crazy too), but gosh darn, public modlogs are great, as it is very easy to see which removals/bans are deserved, which are borderline and which are just power trips.

It’s a case of Medicated Angry Geriatric Asshole.

The job of the Trump campaign manager is actually very easy. Just observe what is going on around the candidate and just say that the opposite is happening.

It’s good journalism that the truth got out on these scummy subcontractors.

At what point where someone realizes they got tricked should they just go knock on doors and campaign for Harris, get paid anyway?

“Trump blasts critics slamming him for his unexpected ‘October Surprise-gate’…” when do I get my press credentials?

I think it would be an interesting concerted effort to question every multinational company’s legal team for every clause in their terms, conditions and privacy policies, when they do something like Disney and make you waive your rights to sue on someone’s behalf for killing them, if you signed up for their streaming service.

One correction:

It would, not could…

If you have gas motor equipment in your garage (mower, snowplow, leafblower, boat), you should try to winterize it with specific stabilizers, otherwise you will have a hard time starting it in the spring.

Wear layers, layers, layers and a proper winter jacket on top. Winter mittens or gloves, a hat, scarf, neck warmer, balaclava or face covering, ear muffs, snow pants, could all be stuff you need depending on how far north you go and how thick the snow piles up. Almost universally in cold climates you will need proper boots.

Similar to Humidex, there’s a value called wind chill, because the layer of heat you radiate gets blown away making you feel colder. Pay attention to that, and remember that hands and ears left exposed will get frostbite after some time. You can find charts online (Celsius and Fahrenheit).

Watch for black ice on roads and sidewalks, it looks just “wet” but it is very slippery ice. Use road salt or other de-icing compounds on your walkways and driveways so that you and others don’t slide around or fall.

A bunch of driving stuff:

Do NOT go posted speed on roads that aren’t fully cleared. In reduced visibility conditions like blizzards you might have to go half the usual freeway speed or less, with flashers on and follow the car in front. It’s best to avoid driving in snowstorms.

Winter tires may be required in some areas, but they are strongly recommended even if not. Leave a safety kit and brush in the car, because in remote areas it may be an entire day before a tow can even get to you. Have blankets in the car in winter.

Test recovery out of a slide in a safe place so you know what to do in a pinch. You don’t have to go too fast, just somewhere that doesn’t get cleared well with no obstacles to crash into like a rarely cleared parking lot. Two modes are: brake fail going straight (with my old car you needed to be light but steady on the brakes for best effectiveness), and a turn going wider than you expected. The car will not respond to sudden maneuvers like you would expect on a clear surface.

The important thing is that the distinction between bikes and motorcycles are a little different in Japan than elsewhere.

Elsewhere, there’s a speed or weight limit, where if the e-bike can travel at greater than that speed without pedaling, it’s classed as a motorbike, otherwise it’s a electrically assisted bicycle and follows bicycle rules.

In Japan, the distinction is if the bike can move at all on its own without human input (i.e. it has a throttle), then it is a moped and classed the same as a motorbike, requiring a licence (a <50cc motorbike or general automobile licence), registration plate, liability insurance, helmet, and a prohibition against drunk and distracted driving (note: now manual bicycles are subject to the same prohibitions as well). The law was clarified this year that for a moped-class e-bike, even if the motor is switched off, is still the same, it doesn’t drop to a bicycle class.

He’s from Papineau, Montréal so French only - Fuck Trudeau could mean people thinks he’s sexy for all he knows.

But Trudeau ultimately fell back on the idea that the next election will be a choice — and on the belief that Canadians haven’t started to think about that choice yet.

Well the time to act is short, the Conservatives have been making the decision for many people - by brainwashing them with endless amounts of fossil-fuel funded ads.

What I find even more infuriating than whatever this stuff this former douche-in-chief is doing, is the compromised Supreme Court and Fifth Circuit justices doing very similar things when they are supposed to be impartial: making up their own legal fictions to suit the justices and their financiers’ own needs and citing them later on. Those are courts of a dictatorship, not a free democracy.

Congrats on finishing and publishing your game! Definitely is well-inspired from make-believe play that many of us have done as kids.

The power couple at Oh the Urbanity! channel even went out to demonstrate it… 567 bike lane users to 492 car lane users.

I’m not holding my breath for any result favourable or unfavourable.

Victory is not assured, unless people get their friends, coworkers, relatives and families to vote on or before Nov 5 to protect the freedom and democratic institutions that you have enjoyed that Donald Trump is promising to take away for himself. Optimism and hope is good, don’t despair, just be aware and get the vote out.

America can handle the whining, complaining, lawsuiting snowflakes after you get job #1 done.

Bc covid, it was an exception of a year where people were encouraged to early vote rather than voting day vote to avoid catching disease. Turnout overall and early turnout was very high.

It’s adorable!

If this were British Columbia, before you vote you must make a declaration that you are eligible and did not vote already.

If you voted earlier/somewhere else, you could choose to show up at any polling place later, as long as you do not make the false declaration to receive your second ballot, you will not have committed fraud. The election person can be like, oh the digital record shows you voted already, and you can walk out. In remote areas, the paper voter roll of local voters will show whether they know you voted or not but other paper locations will not (if your polling location was way out in the sticks and you went to another rural place to vote). Mail ins are much the same, your name and signature on the declaration is the same thing as the verbal affirmation.

I know Trump’s supporters are bad at logic, but this should show that these processes stop enough voter fraud to the point that you it’s not really they need to get all worked up about.

I touched on it in my comment, it is definitely an attention grabber, and for Trump any coverage is good coverage. It’s still difficult for me to see how Puerto Ricans are supposed to believe Trump saying “I love Puerto Rico I’ll take care of Puerto Rico, I’ve never even heard of this comedian who led my set”, while sitting in shotgun of a garbage truck…

That Kingston DataTraveller I have as well and it’s my ol’ reliable from at least 9 years ago. For some reason PCs put up a fuss with recognizing other people’s USBs at boot, I’ve never once had an issue with the Kingston.

It is true that it is slower but for a live distro, install and troubleshoot disk it does the job perfectly fine.
