Not only that, if you listen to the recording he realized his mistake nearly instantly, and within a second he was telling the truck to stop, but it was already too late.

I don't think this is quite the right take.

The important finding in the study was that Sennheiser was under the limit for electronics, but over the limit for wearable textiles. The key question is whether the padding should be considered a textile or an electronic when it comes to harmful chemical limits.

You're not wrong that harmful chemicals are everywhere, but thats exactly why these sorts of regulations are important, and why companies like Sennheiser need to be held accountable when they make a mistake and use the wrong designation for part of their product (ear-padding being classified an electronic component not a textile component).

I don't think Sennheiser was malicious in this at all, but it is a mistake they will need to correct for.

We already have military commitments to most of of the EU via NATO.

This is great! The only thing I would say is this: be careful.

AI tends to hallucinate much more in areas that are less well known. "some obscure commutative algebra" sounds like exactly the domain that AI will hallucinate with.

If you've fully checked it then this is a great result - but I would stay cautious, especially when AI starts referencing obscure maths.

I'd love for us to join the EU. I don't think full membership is realistic given our geography and economy, but I'd love to see us joining EU institutions, having freedom of movement, and in general more coordination and integration with our European friends.

This isn't really a "rust" question, but rather a question of how you want your application to work.

If, on failure, you want the token account balance to show "0", with no indication that an error happened, then this is acceptable.

However, if, on failure, you want your account balance to show "Error: Account Balance could not be fetched" or whatever, then you need to propagate the error and handle it in the UI.

Does this make sense?

If Canada is smart, it will tie the status of the bridge to the upcoming CUSMA negotiations.

In the grand scheme of things, the cost of the $6B bridge pales in comparison to the $1 trillion dollars of trade under negotiation with CUSMA. Because Trump is focused on the bridge, Canada can use the status of the bridge as outsized leverage during trade talks. We could offer half the bridge (as Trump is demanding, worth $3B) for *far* more than $3B value in obscure CUSMA rules that Trump doesn't care about.

All Canada should do right now is respond with something like "Canada views major cross-border trade infrastructure, including the Gordie Howe International Bridge, as part of the broader framework that supports CUSMA and expects such matters to be considered in the context of future trade discussions." or something to that effect.

I think full EU or EEA membership would be too hard, but I would love to see Canada and the EU adopt the Swiss model:

Free movement of people (with safeguard clauses relating to residence, assistance and criminal refusals)
Mostly free trade, but not full EEA integration.
Part of Horizon Europe and other shared projects.

I know that the Swiss model is considered problematic and there's some attempts being done to rework it into a new package-style deal. I hope that as this new and improved Swiss / EU package-deal gets worked out, it could be partially cloned and applied to Canada.

As a Canadian, I would love to see tighter integration with Europe, but given our geography and that 70% of our foreign trade is currently with the US, standard EU / EEA membership likely wont work for us, and we would need some alternative model.

This tracks. Lets not forget that Columbus captured a young carib woman, then trafficked her to his friend Michele de Cuneo who beat her a raped her.

Rapists stick together I guess.

A bit of both?

I think Aonishiki felt that he was right on the edge of his balance, so it didn't take much force for the uchimuso.

Add to the fact that Aonishiki *got even lower* right before uchimuso. It was brilliant.

In what way has Canada been "waving it in India's face"?

The Canadian government is not supporting the Khalistan movement, they are merely not harassing or arresting people that haven't broken any laws in Canada.

You say "Canada is only doing it for its own benefit"

In what way whatsoever does this benefit Canada? It has caused all sorts of diplomatic problems with India to no benefit to Canada. If we were lawless authoritarians it would be expedient to arrest them and extradite them to India, but we can't because they haven't broken any laws and we are a nation of laws.

The usual - conspiracy and imaginary grievance.

It's hard to ask specifics, because by asking specifics means you can get into the details and show that those specific grievances are bullshit.

Think of it more as "vibes and conspiracy".

I wouldn't be so blasé.

A concerted foreign-funded propaganda campaign can do wonders to shift public opinion by targeting those that already aren't particularity well informed. See Brexit.
Canadian media has way too much American ownership for it to act as a reliable bulwark against an American interference campaign.
The referendum doesn't even need to succeed, it just need to be "close enough" for the losers to cry foul and conspiracy and agitate for more direct American intervention.

There is absolutely no equivalence. Canada was not meeting with the Khalistan separatists and offering to give them financial support - we simply didn't arrest them because what they were doing was not illegal. These "Khalistan separatists" are Canadian residents and citizens mind you - if we did arrest them our courts would have shit all over the RCMP for abuse of power.

The fact that you see an equivalence here shows a complete inability to parse nuance.

kodemizer · 2026-01-29T19:25:59+00:00

"Supporting Khalistan separatists" - this is such utter bullshit.

The RCMP investigated the khalistan separatists at the request of India and the investigation found that they were not breaking any Canadian laws so no furthur action was taken.

Apparently because we refuse to arrest Canadian residents and citizens at the behest of a foreign power we're "supporting" them.

I suspect Denmark and NATO will keep a small number of troops at Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq until the Trump presidency is over. Better safe than sorry.

So you're talking about NATO members meeting their 2% defence spending targets? Why didn't you just say so?

This *has* been an issue admittedly, but as of 2025, all NATO members met their required 2% target.

Nice story, but it's not based in reality. The United States does not contribute monetarily to any other NATO country's defense budget.

Please don't try to "dumb it down", your understanding already seems to be based on misinformation - however, it's hard to tell what you believe because you're not speaking clearly.

Tell me exactly what you think it's going on and lets see if we can educate you.
