They mean the lowest over the next 1000 years

And lighter when they jump up on something without making a sound. Cats are made of Element Zero

I wonder who they paid to put the ads together. I bet the company has direct ties to members of the UCP. This feels like embezzlement.

That's a good point. They're spending our tax dollars on political advertising. I'm also wondering if its spending money outside provincial jurisdiction and whether that is legal.

I'm so happy they're defunding schools and dismantling health care under the guise of cost savings so they can spent $7,000,000 on propaganda in other provinces.

Is there anything anyone can do about such irresponsible bullshit? We're already orange in the cities so I feel pretty powerless.

Same.

I use Bortmatic to manage my repos and I pay a little bit to BorgBase for offsite backup of my important stuff.

Any UCP voter who talks about free markets or small government is a fucking hypocrite

Anyone keeping a list?

I wish I could upvote more since this is exactly what I was going to say. This is infuriating.

Everyone should start taking lots of sick days so that company owners get a taste of what happens when they vote in an incompetent government who reduces access to health care.

I wonder how much the conversation with "the woman who is responsible for controlling the airspace" cost.

The letter argued that Canada’s radio regulations were designed to address the problems created by its vast geography, its “linguistic duality” (English and French), and the fact that space on analog radio is limited, making decisions about what gets broadcast necessary.

Citation needed DiMA. Way to try framing the issue to look in your favour.

Instead of those "issues" we now have locked down apps and opaque algorithms that reduce user control.

To be fair I have found some good stuff through the recommendations, but I also don't know how often they try to boost certain artists because of back room deals. Companies need regulations to keep them slightly honest.

As far as I know its federal.

But now she's laid the groundwork to blame the federal government for something she doesn't have the jurisdiction to deal with in the first place.

Exactly! I remember seeing a video of Jason Kenny throwing out some ridiculous number of jobs it'll bring to Alberta, when Shaw was already an Alberta based company.

I've come to the conclusion that some inefficiencies are actually good for an economy. With multiple companies each has to have a support department and sales department and installation techs and engineers and... It's not very efficient in that there's a lot of redundancy, but it's better for the economy.

Remember during the public consultation when all the politicians were talking about how the merger will create jobs, increase quality, and reduce prices? 🙄

That video!! Yeah, I don't believe it either. Sort of reminds me of doing Kung Fu as a kid. We'd do public demonstrations and would sometimes ham it up a bit for the audience. I wonder if that's what's going on.

Have you practiced push hands? There's a neat effect I can only describe as sort of being able to bounce off the other person. You can get some decent air with it! I also wonder if there's a bit of that going on with a lot of exaggeration.

I agree with you about the "weird stuff". I teach Tai Chi and I'm very careful about the words I use, especially when it comes to describing mechanical forces. I'll often mention that I don't mean some notion of "life force" but rather the physical Newtonian force that your body is subject to while performing the movements.

I find Tai Chi to be deceptively complicated with deep physical and psychological components. I have a hard time articulating what it is to others since it's not really a martial art, and it's not really meditation, and it's not just a bunch of movements or calisthenics. But it does have very real effects and I love it!

It sounds like your experience is quite similar to mine and I'm happy you found a good teacher and are enjoying the practice! 😀

Helix also, but aren't Zed and Helix both modal?

edit: Huh. I just tried out Zed and looks like modal editing is optional.

Looks like jEdit just had a new release! I actually used it as my main editor 15 years ago before I sat down to learn Emacs. I thought it was pretty good back then.

Lapce is a newer one that looks interesting, though I haven't tried it. The page says modal editing can be toggled.
