35 years too! Dated for 25.0 years, married for 9.6 years.

If the US wants it:

• they pay us to build it
• they pay us to run it
• they can see our data
• so can others.

That’s a special dietary need.

Here’s the thing: our system isn’t perfect, and you’re seeing a facet where it’s in need of serious repair.

The thing that blocks us is funding. Mr Ford, for all his televised strongman grandstanding, is not supporting a proper, complete, consolidated care under the control of the voter; his party typically goes for a privatized care system beholden to shareholders.

The American exceptions, where someone was able to scrape together or beg for the first period or phase of Medicare care in America, is not the rule but the exception. And we don’t see but the exception.

We need to bring healthcare back in - leaving it to the provinces still, for herd safety - and have the level of care stay a perennial ballot issue. Get the mercenaries out, reap the rewards of consolidation and continued assessment and upkeep. We have a LOT to fix but we don’t fix a house with dynamite (see: America).

If we truly want American-style mercenary healthcare as Mr Ford’s party and Ms Smith’s party trend towards, make us vote our entire way down that scummy slope to hell.

It’s easy to get to Mogadishu too – parachute, clown cannon, cruise ship. Sorted.

We could make a sport of it.

This is the basis for poor and marginalized people being locked away in American prisons. Debtor prison is a bad idea, even if it sounds good.

Manners. Maketh. Man.

Yes.

You let people see your eyes so you can talk and put them at ease. What are you, a cop in Alabama whose authoritah someone needs to respect?

It is then we’re reminded of the ability of good writers and performers to take even a low-potential idea and fucking kill it. With a pen. In the study.

I’ll see your “Full-ass conversations” and raise you “Full-ass technical convos” with no knowledge of talking on the phone the next day… which made for a weird follow-up.

You’d think it would be galvanizing.

No words, no readers.

Weird. Ms Smith hasn’t pivoted from denigrating the R.o.C to proclaiming the greater need for her aid over every other effort, yet. This is a little slow for her.

They had Mulcair, a great and charismatic speaker with a penchant for dunking on Harper in the house, from the ‘right’ region of Canada. They went another way.

government employees still lag in returning to physical workplaces

‘Lag’. That’s funny. One of my day contracts is to a gov entity, and it’s 100% remote work. They CAN’T go back, as their workforce spread out so far (hint: low rent but great internet) that a RTO means 30% loss of workforce if everyone who can actually returns. There’s no desks. There’s no equipment because everyone uses their much-better stuff that hasn’t died since CoViD. They can’t outfit staff.

It’s comedy.

it’s majority owned by GOP

That’s weird. They usually slag the non-conservative rep super-hard; like, tan-suit hard.

Please, for the love of god, look at other things instead of Ansible.

Definitely do openTofu for infrastructure and deployment, but for configuration of VMs please learn about puppet, saltstack, chef(cinc.sh) and especially mgmtConfig .

Ansible, by comparison, better matches what we were doing in 2002 at 1/10th the speed, and it’s like pascal levels of wordy.

Learning about options and finding one that works well for you will often give you a much better experience than fucking Ansible.

If you do abandon all hope, though, then go ahead and do Ansible; but remember if you do: there are better options, and hating Ansible doesn’t mean you hate automation.

You keep saying things they should be doing as if it’s somehow arduous and not done by every small business owner in the country.

If your house is your investment, get ready to show your work.

True. But, historically, the conservatives’ entire schtick is “we will now reduce tax for the rich, and the challenge is how to sell that to the plebes in the 99%”.

Every plan they have, every effort they make, is all about reducing tax and somehow trying to avoid explaining where healthcare and bridges and fire engines food testing and vaccines and air safety will come from.

the fact

Not a fact.

He

and the liberal party made things expensive with greenwashing.

Carbon tax - go see the numbers - meant a bump of 3% on groceries, max. If your gas went up, go talk to your gasoline guy. If your avocados went up, go talk to Galen.

People who study this as a job will still maintain a carbon benefit is the best way to indirectly shift a country so it doesn’t wreck the atmosphere as much; like, there are no great ideas people will accept, but this is a mediocre one that people who can do math will accept.
