"You want some Cuba? Why you've barely finished your Iran and Venezuela."

Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off

...sitting around, unopened and unprocessed, is somehow going to have resources to process HUNDREDS of DNA tests per year. The HIPPA/PHIPA issues alone would be a nightmare.

... my second favourite group of people are the ones who think high schools are going to cheek swab student athletes. The same high schools with underpaid teachers, who teach in crumbling buildings, where they lack resources and are located in cities where (I'd bet) hundreds of rape kits are ...

...played a bit of rugby, my wife played CEGEP basketball, our kid played field hockey, not one of us has ever had someone inspect our junk. So this thread is full of people disclosing that they were molested and not knowing and expecting that everyone else's parents would be fine with it....

Over on FB there is a thread I couldn't help but comment on about trans athletes and it is FULL FULL FULL to the brim with people talking about "sports physicals" where they had their junk inspected. I played soccer for a decade, I ran track on two teams (high school and a regional track team)...

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

The duration of tomorrow's storm is bad, but the fact that overloaded trees and wires will then get hit with snow a day or two later is worse. It's giving '98 vibes in the worst of ways.

yep. I think I'll pop by Canadian tire and get some cooking stove gas.

Shareholder value or has to break even or something innit.

They upgraded the amount of rain to 40-50mm. BUCKLE THE FUCK UP.

Crude is 85. Brent 88.

20-30mm of freezing rain starting sometime Wednesday and then, because what a nice slippery surface likes is some sort of cover to hide it, we're going to get something like 10-15cm of snow.

Some folks have. Shame about the back to back storms coming.

As fools springs go this one day is nice.

kinda weak reporting by Wired in terms of bsky "positioning itself as a progressive twitter replacement" since the staff on here have been incredibly clear that that's not what they wanted to do and never wanted to do

good news. Unlike here in montreal where our anti-bike, pro-dead cyclists mayor is defunding Bixi's expansion and is talking about "auditing" bike lanes.

a map showing all the bike share stations that span most of the west-east axis of the city, all of downtown, and part of the north of the suburbs.

Québec city's bike share system, "ÀVélo", comes back on April 15th, until November 15th. We will have 22 stations and 2 300 e-bikes (!) to rent all over the city. The expansion in the western and northern suburbs (dark blue dots) will connect a whole new portion of the population.

You got a tip from the government = Rachel does her fucking job and cultivates sources and they sometimes, like they do with all journalists, come across something and go "huh, I wonder if Rachel would be interested in this?".

This is one of the nicest shots I've ever seen in curling.

Ah, the bravery of being out of range.

A notorious RCMP unit shaped B.C. universities’ reaction to Palestine encampments ⋆ The Breach From Fairy Creek to university campuses, CRU-BC is positioning itself as the go-to police force for repressing dissent

I imagine.

The "healthy" probably mitigates the rest, no?

Demain dans le cahier Argent: pourquoi les jeunes achètent moins de caviar? Nos 13 chroniqueurs économique se penchent sur la question

Wild guess La Presse :

En 2016, j’ai acheté une Corolla 2011 remise à neuf à 75 000km à 9000$.

En 2026, sur le marché de l’auto usagée, la même Corolla 2011 avec plusieurs réparations et presque 200 000km de plus vaut… 8000$.

Mais bon, sûrement les maudits jeunes qui n’ont pas de CELI à 16 ans…

I'm actually a bit frustrated that I had to, but hardware for wall mounting a speaker that is white, not ugly as fuck, is actually a really hard thing to find and the brand we liked has zero online sales through their site and seems to have no local resellers.

In January of 2025 we decided that, unless there was exactly zero other place we could find that sold it, we were done with all Amazon purchases. Today I ordered my first thing from them, after 5 days of searching for an alternative that wasn't USA-based, since then. So over a year.

...with me in any other context is either getting it or is utterly lost.

I don't talk about my politics at work with certain people and in certain contexts. Like, I do support for teaching staff from very diverse backgrounds. Coming in hot with "and that's because that country is run as a FOB" will earn me a trip to my boss' office. But anyone who spends 10 minutes...
