Please friends, follow, check your riding, and if you live in a riding where the vote is being split between 2 or more parties where the conservatives have a chance to win due to a vote split, tell all your neighbors/close friends to vote for the party most likely to win. #ABC

Every instance costs money to run. Damn few people have the skills to stand up and run servers.

Unpopular opinion:
People wanting to use those servers should be contributing.

β€œStealth mode” and other f’ing brilliant strategies Oh you secretive devil! The last thing you need is anyone finding out about your startup. Like competitors. Or customers.

Why even ask if people would pay for your product?

The math is simple - they'll save time, so they can't afford NOT to buy it.

Maybe they should buy it twice!

No need to find out.

To my American friends. I hate to say this, but …

This is your circus, and those are your monkeys.

Good luck.

In 2022, Danielle Smith rejected the idea that billionaires should run government. "I find it distasteful when billionaires brag about how much control they have over politicians." Two years, and an elite guess pass to Mar A Lago later… #cdnpoli #peipoli

Ya. I hope the USians enjoy it as much as Canadians enjoy the blocking of all news links on Meta properties

"Unlike theory, practice gets its hands dirty. It is practice that lays bricks, builds bridges, and writes code. Practice lives in the real world of change, confusion, and uncertainty. It faces competing choices and, grimacing, chooses the lesser evil; it dodges, it hedges, it  robs Peter to pay Paul. It makes a living by doing the best it can with what it has."

Wherever you live, the city probably has a map that has walking, running, mixed use and bike paths marked on it.

Here's a guy crying about how his daughter keeps turning the AI off on the AI doll he bought her and playing with it like a regular doll and her imagination.

I tried running. Got thru the Couch to 5K program, ran several 5K’s. Decided I still hated running.

Went back to my bike. Loved it as a kid and young adult. Turns out, I still love it.

If you’re ever wondering why wildfire smoke is so bad for you it’s because it includes things like β€œan entire bicycle”

‼️ I just learned that putting "-AI" at the end of a Google search, it'll supress the garbage AI generated answers.

Just tested and confirmed it seems to work, at least for now!

Now I just want a setting to make that the default.

In general I’ve found the mentorship involved with these subcultures has the most influence. No mentors or toxic mentors engenders less empathy & more misogyny. Neutral or empathetic mentors reduces misogyny.

I have my own experiences about the relative misogynistic tendencies of different groups of guys, and it does not match with yours.

I tried that. I found the mini too small for me to write/draw on. Also, my eye issues have made smaller text challenging for me. So I went back to the smaller Pro.

When this one gets too old, I’ll probably not go with a pro model again, since Pencil support is becoming standard on all models
