The Salish? What do they have to do with the fleet other than naval bases being in their territory?

Nothing in the article about them.

Last few times I was in there they were making claims about sourcing Canadian beef. Veggie burger is good. It’s the only fast food place I go to. Proudly Canadian I think.

Lately Indigo supply got spotty—HomeHardware franchise is the only one carrying them in the local village, but they access the national supplier network so I don’t know why. People were gaming when shipments were arriving at the hardware store and being disappointed. Avoiding giving sodastream any money because of the boycott is apparently something people know about.

But also Indigo takes the canisters back. And is cheaper.

Cool! But why stop there?

Add automation to the sensors that turn on the disco lights when there’s couch nookie goin’ on!

Can you run an automatic chicken door with that? Last time I looked, DIY arduino was the way, but a zwave mechanism with homeassistant automation sounds excellent.

No, really. We don’t actually need your money. At least, not here and now.

We have over $24,000 in the bank, and with average monthly expenses of only ~$600, that’s over 40 months (3.3 years) of runway! So, we have plenty of money for the near future.

Thus, at this time, we want you to seriously consider donating to the authors of Clients you use, instead of (or in addition to) the main project. Client support is the hardest part of the Jellyfin ecosystem to keep going, and most of them are maintained by only a single person or very small team.

So give that applause-cash to a jellyfin client dev!

Oh that’s rich coming from NSA-land

A similar but not quite as retro endeavour would be hosting a Hotline server.

I didn’t say make the sentence community service, which you seem to imply. New justice systems will be complex and results-oriented. Yeah responsibility for dangerous jobs needs to focus up the ladder. Jail as punishment doesn’t solve any of the problems except preventing interaction with free society. Victims don’t see justice or restitution, only vengeance. The expense is huge. Accomplices go free.

Onoff, eh? ‘I can’t think of an easy answer so there must be none’

That lack of nuance combined with an aversion to improving shitty systems that don’t work, and an aversion to whatever the science says in combination with front-line problem solvers, characterizes conservative policy.

They do run on an old fashioned and unscientific yearning for vengeance-as-justice, yessss.

An empiricist government might address the whole ‘16 hours of continuous driving’ that is rampant in the industry, make sure he never drives again, and make the sentence include some kind of restitution.

But performative punishment is more fun yeah? Stockades and then chopping off a hand might satisfy those folks.

• economic injustice - they think they give too much profit to the rest of canada; in essence, they think the natural resources are solely theirs not the people of Canada or FN, and ignore how much of the profits flow to the USA
• cultural distinctiveness - such bullshit, the culture claim is canadian prairie but flavoured with texan bravado and is ideology hiding behind lightly coded white nationalism… the separatists are all too right wing for the rest of canada, and (cf. D Christie) racist at heart… listen to this group talk about indigenous folk when they think you’re one of them
• drill baby drill - separatism is driven by fox news style climate denialism… “oh look you use plastic you hypocrite” - yeah right ok

And that’s pretty much it, a thin veneer of argument over a desire to be american Republicans and join Greater Idaho while catching trickledown dribbles from oiligarchs.

I don’t think we should adapt in a cooperative way to foreign interference.

I grew up in Alberta and still have lots of family there. In the 1980’s there were a bunch of texans in Calgary advocating for a move to the USA and backslappingly loud about it. People who flew back to houston every month.

Decades of advocacy and cultural pressure has built up and normalized the traitorous bullshit. Now we have social media and astroturfing and backroom funding.

The separatist movement has never been sincere or honest, and always seditious in spirit. Alberta wants to be an oil colony to oiligarchs and a large number of middle managers and employees are useful idiots.

Let’s hear some honest complaints that aren’t full of entitlement.

The issue preceded Trudeau, Harper, etc. The oil sands are dirty production that is being massively externalized by (mostly) American companies and the strategic unwillingness to meet regs and lose a bit of privilege and margins is part of that.

BC!? lol

Maybe Kelowna will agitate. Peace River country. Everyone else will have unkind words.

It’s less a threat of political intent, and more a prediction and warning based on historical examples and geopolitics.

Separatists avoid addressing the issue of most of the province being Treaty or Crown land.

My family that works in the oil patch avoids or belittles the externalities of extraction and transport.

Why no refineries? Hand waving and excuses when it’s mostly just corporate structure and priorities, and the American Invisible Hand.

Q and A equally self centered to other provincial citizens.

This one-note blackmail approach is a fine example of pissy attitudes coming from ‘texas north’, it ignores how complex provincial interdependencies are and ignores other solutions and problems. Alberta has to adapt faster.
