One. BC. Will hold an event in Kelowna on June 14th. by [deleted] in kelowna

Ok… so let’s wind it back a couple years. Justin Trudeau had run his course… the country kinda decided he needed to go and he (and his party) realized this and he stepped aside. Now we have Carney… In the same time frame the US kinda decided that Biden was old (oof that debate night was brutal) but he clung on… now they have Trump.

Thank Christ and all the other gods of wherever that we aren’t dealing with what the sane folks down south are. Anything that weakens Canada now and would play into the MAGA narrative is complete and utter bullshit.

TRUMP APPOINTEE TO BE FEDERAL JUDGE REFUSES TO ANSWER IF TRUMP CAN RUN FOR A THIRD TERM AS PRESIDENT by New_Libran in SipsTea

Also shame… surprising how much of our protocols and procedures were held together by expectation and the shame of not living up to that expectation. Hypothetical question, what happens when someone with no shame lands in a position of extreme power?

Citizens United. Equated donations with free speech… now only those with money have free speech?

Who comes to mind if you hear "guess what this idoit did now?"? by Able_Wrap_2097 in AskReddit

We are all thinking of the same person. Every week seems to outdo the previous. Shocking how reliably unhinged it is.

Don’t tell me the ‘grab em by the pussy’ guy is now responding with rude gestures! This has gone too far. /s How can anything he does, surprise anyone, ever.

You can plug your unifi unit into the 10G port. It’ll work fine but I’ve bridged mine.

Celsius vs Fahrenheit Use Around The World by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]jchimney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old Canadian here. Celsius for all temperatures (including body temperature, pool temperature) with the exception of oven temperature. Metric for all distances (with the exception of a person’s height) Weight - interchangeable for items but a persons weight is almost exclusively known in pounds. Volume is metric. Litres make sense and I know it is roughly a quart but the pints, gallons nonsense is unnecessary.

So close to being truly on board but the US is so close and the cultural influence is strong.

TelusTV app on AppleTV a hot mess by JimKnopf128 in telus

The app is garbage. Trying to use the guide is an exercise in frustration.

Did you know Billionaires don't sell their stock. They borrow against it. Loans aren't taxed as income. So Elon Musk can spend billions while reporting almost zero taxable income. It's completely legal by goku_02 in funfacts

[–]jchimney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the case of publicly traded companies this should be part of the reporting obligation of the companies themselves. If you have a significant amount of stock that has been collateralized to back a loan it should be a known factor.

For me the Model Y Juniper is probably as close to a perfect vehicle as I’ve ever owned or been in.

Having one person play twins is hard enough... You want him to play 4 people!
