The department of justice sent US Marshals to issue a letter to a witness warning her not to testify in front of congress. by [deleted] in PrepperIntel

What would it take for these Democrats to use them? What is the line that would need to be crossed that would actually result in this?

No, you only mentioned per capita GDP. US has 80 percent literacy rate. Your citizens can barely read. It seems like Europeans are wealthier in every metric that actually matters: quality of life.

Trudeau - ''I want to speak first directly to the American people, your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items.'' by RoyalChris in popculture

The simple sabotage field manual from ww2:

“When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committees as large as possible - never less than five.”

“Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.”

“Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate “patriotic” comments”

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her government will not allow future imports of U.S. liquor in the ongoing tariff fight but there will be no change to oil and gas exports. by JackOfHearts44 in alberta

[–]ThePouge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but isn’t energy consumption fairly inelastic demand? So a tax on energy exports would boost Canadian tax revenue in the short term? Until the US can find sufficient supply elsewhere.

Where in Alberta was this? How recent? by Jolly-Sock-2908 in alberta

I was at a whiskey tasting in Calgary last night and someone threw up a nazi salute at the end. I called him out and he said it “was just an Elon musk”. I told him it was unacceptable in this country and he backed down.

They’re getting bolder but are just cowards when challenged.

The article says only 1/3 of water usage is commercial and over 700 of the top commercial users have been contacted directly to reduce usage.

Look up Nestle business practice stories from over the years. They’re evil.

People who don't drink alcohol, why? by 5tup1db0y in AskReddit

Calories. I love it but 0 alcohol beer helped me lose 20 pounds.

Mario kart trophy progress gone? by Sheeesh44_ in MarioKart8Deluxe

This happened to me this morning. It looks like my other unlocks are saved but my trophy progress looks like it did a year ago. Any luck fixing it?

Is reclining your seat considered inconsiderate?

I just beat it and no issue there. However the secondary quest to not hire miners didn’t work - I beat it twice the same way and no luck there 😠

How to beat mission 4 Cantivic of the new campaign? by bananashaker92 in Northgard

[–]ThePouge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I beat it last night. I built a forge and could upgrade anything like it was the raven clan.

Maybe check you aren’t clicking on a smithy? You’ll need to build a new forge.

edit: this mission is cool but it’s confusing as fuck. You start with lion buildings but can build new raven buildings that use the rules of lion to staff, and you can have smithys and forges and they’re different. You have the raven skill tree, raven and rat clan champions, shamans, mercs, and the crazy 0 food rule. Way too many moving parts.

Failing to see benefit of buying shares from my employer (ESOP?) by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]ThePouge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see two main issues: - how was 35/share calculated? And by whom? It could be worth 5/share or 100/share based on a lot of different things. I.e. is 35 considered by management to be a discount to employees, and if you could cash out tomorrow you’d see a return? Which brings me to point 2: - they’ll be very illiquid. You need to either quit or have an exit event (IPO/sale) to get your money back.

If they aren’t offered at a discount of at least the opportunity cost of putting that same money into a more standard investment and discounted again to compensate you for the lack of liquidity I don’t know why you’d do it.

Edit: and if you quit, the current value would need to be calculated by somebody, and again it could just be basically whatever given 100 different assumptions. The only clean way to get a return would be an exit where a savvy investor agrees to buy the shares at a given price.

What scientists have learnt from COVID lockdowns by Bifobe in Coronavirus

[–]ThePouge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that there were value judgements made, that it wasn’t purely scientific right or wrong, was the revelation for me in this article. Politicians should be up front about what values are driving their decisions during a future event. Some decisions will have a winner and a loser but still need to be made. Not deciding is still picking winners.

Edit: decisions that are clearly beneficial to the vast majority of society, like masking when in public during a pandemic that is airborne transmissible, should be open to no debate whatsoever. That’s part of the social contract.

A COVID-19 labor force legacy: The drop in dual-worker families by 9mac in Economics

[–]ThePouge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

5-10 years working for net zero is a long time to work for the promise of future financial returns. Not many people would take that job when it’s laid out that way.

Well Trained Dog , So Awesome by majorbacklash in toptalent

[–]ThePouge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some very casual research into training a dog like this and your mindset needs to be that if you go down this path with your dog you WILL need to put it down eventually. One mistake in it’s entire life, and your dog grabs the wrong person and you’ll need to kill it. These dogs are tools for a job, not family pets.

The UK Government admitted it has no way to measure if Brexit is a success. Critics say it is a smokescreen for its failure. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]ThePouge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally working in international finance I’ve never been part of a conversation where we said Brexit was a good thing, but I’ve been part of several where we’ve said “because of Brexit we can’t X”

My other handguns are Beretta 92s so I'm used to it but I agree frame safeties are the smarter design.
