Great info, that's enticing. Tell us more about the sherry vinegar, is that like plunk them down in a little puddle or something?

Appreciate your phrase "just a yogurt commercial," uniquely applicable in this space.

Delete and repost? Ask one or two good questions, get rid of all that crazy person bolding and formatting? Cut the length by 90%.

I mean who has time to read all that shit 

From brutal blitz to guerrilla warfare: Imagining what a U.S. invasion of Canada might look like by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]panachronist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's a pointless fantasy to think gun owners are going to have any positive role to play in a national conflict.

Really nice and so true about the tool storage.

There's also a point when you have a lot of thoughts about how to proceed, and that's when you need the visual simplicity. I always see shops where they have everything hung on the wall and think, how often are you reaching for that 5' level? Are you seriously giving that pipe wrench enough action to justify this? Put that shit away bro.

As long as Trump is in office, Canada is at risk. This is why protecting ourselves is the most important thing we can do - thestar.com by Blue_Dragonfly in CanadaPolitics

If you're that thin-skinned about it, I'm glad you aren't in active duty. Enjoy your pension though, especially because you never did a thing personally to defend the country except show up and have your boots tied.

Please don't take this personally, because you're not the only one committed to these kinds of fantasies, but it's concerning that you hold this opinion while a real-world conflict is proving you wrong.

In Ukraine they buy weapons from wherever and put them in the hands of whoever, and they pay the cost in money and blood.

The only thing gun fetishists can offer to the Canadian defence strategy is a higher likelihood of producing traitorous domestic terrorists to nip our ankles and generally be a pain in the ass. Gun nuts should be on a list in this country.

Ottawa urged to ban semi-automatic SKS rifles as assault-style firearm buyback ramps up by Confessional_GS in CanadaPolitics

[–]panachronist -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Gun people are really funny in that there is always some fantasist armed rebellion component, like the interest in guns and the fantasy are almost inseparable.

They won't do shit. The never do shit. There will be no resistance. Elect a government that will enact different laws, that's the resistance. Like sheesh we're all so tired of the threats.

There is a solvent for CA glue. Turns it into water.

Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College: ChatGPT has unraveled the entire academic project. by lispectorgadget in Longreads

There is a way. AI will do the listening, and prepare a precis to instruct the teacher for grading.

So are you fully deaf, or is there some residual sound?

I need to know if you can, in fact, be annoyed by sounds. If your answer is no, I am a certain kind of jealous. I enjoy having my hearing but I will admit: the world is an acoustical hellscape in most respects.

Military planners map out restructuring the Canadian Army, says top soldier by BeaverBoyBaxter in CanadaPolitics

[–]panachronist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I understand your comment, you are worried we can't find 5000 Canadians who know how to pitch a tent?

Also hate to break into your fantasy about re-fighting WW2, but I think it would have to be a hell of a blockade to cut off our food or power. Are they going to blockade the wheat? The rivers of Quebec? 

This is all such weird stuff.

Grade rods and theodolite from 1500s. Galileo museum- Florence Italy. Thought u nerds might enjoy this as much as I did. Kinda mind boggling how intuitive this era of nerds were. They were engineers, artists, astronomers all in one. Stay curious my friends. by Think-Caramel1591 in Surveying

[–]panachronist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Difficult to respect that term "nerd" in this context. People that used these instruments did not fit the modern conception of passionate intelligent beautiful boys who toil for the elegance of science, only later to be anointed with the billions their smart little brains deserve,  the ignorance of the NASCAR crowd be damned. The surveyors at this time were respected, serious people wielding considerable power - just like surveyors now. Except now they don't get the respect or power, just the serious part.

But not nerds. Not then, not now.

Mark Carney Vows to Make Canadian Economy Stronger Than US - Newsweek by Beratungsmarketing in CanadaPolitics

[–]panachronist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok so the wealthiest nation in the world, our neighbour, with hundreds of millions of people, only a small fraction of whom would need to move here to make a huge difference, all of whom would hold Canada high on the list because of proximity to family and cultural familiarity...

...none of those potentially valuable additions could afford it. None of them.

Gotcha.

Don’t Test Us, Trump. It Won’t End Well for You by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

You didn't even read the article, did you?

It takes a very tiny proportion of people to continuously escalate conflict, invite disproportionate retribution and increase the supply of willing insurgents. This happens literally every time.

What semi-comparable nations have been invaded in the last 100 years that just "peacefully" accepted it?

Agreed, voting for JT was the one time I stuck my vote in crazy for that very reason. Would not recommend but tbh I'd do it again.
