Exactly. More specifically, I’m not afraid of how people vote, I’m afraid of people choosing not to.

Wait, is that a random number, or the actual scale of the power draw we’re talking about?
'Cause that’s fuck-all when we’re talking about industrial level power draw.
Well now this really makes for a trio of facts that paint a horrifying picture:
Guess I should buy some stocks in companies that use prison labour.
Not important enough to me at this point to spend the time changing over. Windows 10 does what I need it to and still gets security updates. When one of those two factors changed, then it will be worth my time to change over.
Microsoft has made the choice very easy for me. I still have an i7-7700k that works just fine. But that’s “too old”, so when Windows 10 hits end of life, I’ll be switching over to Linux.
How hard’s the test? Maybe she’s done.
the ads are minimally intrusive — that is, highly relevant and engaging — they should not detract from the overall user experience
In what universe do ads, no matter how “relevant and engaging”, ever not detract from the overall experience?
Close. The Thousand Islands are in the St Lawrence River.
Oh I’m not concerned about the safety and quality aspect. GM, Ford et al have put out plenty of unsafe shitboxes in the past. I’m talking about the fact the outside companies are flat out not allowed to operate in China without forming a partnership with a Chinese company. It’s a simple rule that fuckd things up royally once all the ramifications of that play out.
For me, first and foremost is the fact that Chinese companies don’t have to operate by the same rules here as North American companies have to operate by in China. Until that’s fixed, I have no interest in letting them into our market. And that’s before we get into issues like some of the more valid arguments for a limited amount of protectionism.
Huh. Maybe if there weren’t profit sucking leeches built into the entire healthcare system, prices wouldn’t be so high and Medicare wouldn’t be at risk of becoming insolvent.
World wars don’t start until the superpowers are in direct conflict. That’s what defines a “World War”. There are always multiple conflicts going on around the globe.
Not really. In most jurisdictions, only gambling type sweepstakes (ie a random draw) are governed that tightly. Fan voted things like this are more or less unregulated. Plus, you have to read (and understand) the legalese fingerprint fine print to determine legal responsibilities. I’d be surprised if there weren’t language in there a that absolves them of almost all legal responsibility.
Also, there’s nothing in there that seems to be anywhere near an actual legal problem.
Dumb question maybe, but why not just let them get older and then eat them?
I think there’s less /s in there than you’d hope for. Think of that idea coupled with the whole “No slavery, except for prisoners” thing.
That would be great, but what does it have to do with Israel/Palestine?
And realistically, what the fuck is the Canadian government going to do? Go to war with Israel and by extension the US?
To be fair, banning shrimp was a very good idea at the time. Do you think it’s a good plan to be eating the shrimp when you are a desert people and the invention of portable refrigeration is still a few thousand years away?
Which conversions? Most metric conversions are drastically simpler than their imperial counterparts.
