not only does he burn through cash, he burns through resources making life worse now for everybody: AI rivals crypto in resource waisting while not contributing at all to any improvements. I fail to see "brighter future" for us through AI as it is energy-intensive, unsustainable endeavor for which we are woefully unprepared both materially (energy efficiency, semiconductor manufacturing/recycling, etc) and psychologically (ethics etc.). Yeah, grand on paper, terrible in reality

while Israel is clearly wrong bombing and killing civilians, Hamas took first step in escalation of violence in the region setting both sides on trajectory of mutual destruction. I am not defending Israel, but any reporting on the issue has to acknowledge both systemic abuse from Israel side and mass killing campaign unleashed by Hamas.

that is conservatives favourite tactic: rebates and checks while they bleed the social support services. then rebates fall under "frivolous spending that's ought to stop" and unsuspecting public ends up with no rebates and no social support system. works miracles, ask Albertans. UCP was set to lose and then... just before elections they've sprinkled some cheques here and there and... lo-and-behold: they've won ( going back to their shenanigans immediately after taking office ). TLDR; those things comimg from politicians are trojan horses, from comservative politicians - doubly so. System needs fixing to not stink rather than gifting everybody a gallon of Febreze...

clearly this alludes to vote dilution by "voting small" meaning left vote gets fragmented. The very sad part is - she is right and people SHOULD vote FOR something rather than against, but system is stacked for political duopoly with a slight preference to the right. In other words it not pragmatic to "vote small" under system where small get ignored and society gets polarized to the point of always voting against. What she should be pushing for is a change of a system, otherwise communities she cares for so much are going to remain political hostages of the left because the right found "the other" they can rally against in them. There are only two rational decisions: remain under current system and support whatever big entity is further to the left or stage a revolution/rebellion forcing system change to allow everyone to "vote small". Silence is not working.

putin said same thing about tanks, long range rockets and planes... Ukraine got all of the above and nothing followed. Those are hollow threats of a desperate maniac who's cornered himself

the actual technique of using stainless steel pens changed everything for me. Proper pre-heating with minimal oiling and knowing to wait until SS cookware "lets go" of food, followed up by using liquids to separate "stuck" pieces and turning them into delicious sauces. I can fry a sunny side up egg on SS pan in a pinch, but prefer cast iron for that.

My understanding is that party with the most votes gets to form government, is it not so?

Liberal path to success:

  1. rename party
  2. chuck principles out of the window
  3. endorse conservatives
  4. ...profit?

beats

  1. adjust policies
  2. represent all constituents
  3. be true to your principles
  4. go to elections

kind of tells you how different Liberals are from Conservatives
