Pelosi had people in her office looking to string her up. She should know better.

Oh I wouldn’t recommend the i3 for everyone. It works for me, that’s all. I’m just saying that alternatives existed even back then.

If you want to sell, you sell for what somebody will pay. You don’t get to control that.

Honestly, when I test drove the Model S (before the 3 was available) I was left rather unimpressed. It was fast, sure, but it wallowed in corners and just felt heavy. I ended up going for a BMW i3 because it drove like a go-cart. Lower range, and top speed but so much more fun. Never regretted it.

Ok, but if you do become aware of the bad behaviour because it’s become so in-your-face that you can’t ignore it, do you boycott?

Easier to dump the hot water and get new cold water.

Nvidias latest gen looks to be 30% faster after 2 years of development with about the same power usage increase. So no reduction in Joules per GOP, just a speed increase.

In 6 years they might go 2x the speed of today but need double the watts (to deliver the same energy in half the time).

A company can have value without making profit. It can own assets. It has value in its staff.

Now should it have a valuation like OpenAI? Fuck no!

I have no idea what this company is…who this person is…and by the looks of it, I’ll never need to.

Add a 5% levy on that and it’s nearly 12 billion in tax revenue extracted from Canadian business and consumers under the guise of sticking it to Trump.

I agree. They don’t. My question is more along the lines of “why don’t they?”. I realise you gave me a number of possible reasons, but it would be nice to know the truth.

No.

Russia (the current primary aggressor) is on the brink of a banking system collapse. It doesn’t have the money to wage war on a bigger scale than it already is.

China is far more interested in trade than hostilities.

The middle east has been a tinder box for over a hundred years. I don’t see it dragging outsiders into it and hopefully we have a respite coming.

Central Asia has tension between India and Pakistan, but that’s nothing new. India could piss off China or the reverse, and if that kicked off the loss of life could be on a scale that would be unprecedented but still I think it wouldn’t drag the west in.

So they’ll make Canadians pay import taxes on American goods. Do American exports to Canada compete with anyone on price? Surely it’s mainly availability of goods?

Why is he not being severely reprimanded by the current administration for conducting his own foreign policy calls?

There is only one president at any time until noon on the 20th he is president elect.

“Wales” is… kinda.

Well you see… Despite what people say, the reasons behind these rules has very little to do with children. So they don’t actually care if it solves the “problem”.

Sure, but there’s an lot of people classifying disagreement as hatred and using that to stamp out the discourse we need to have as a society.

Take positive discrimination. Some see it as corrective action for historical injustices. Some see it as newspeak it for just another form of discrimination and two wrongs don’t make a right. There’s a societal discourse that needs to happen there.

Nobody is preaching hatred, but I expect I’ll get shit for even suggesting there’s a ethical argument against DEI.

It would be if the administration signed an ethics declaration.

I expect Ukraine would be another sticking point. I’m forever seeing campaigns to buy trucks/drones/etc.
