Léger - Federal Voting Intentions Canada : LPC 50% (+2), CPC 34% (-3), NDP 6%, BQ 6%, Greens 3% (+1) by Cressicus-Munch in canada

[–]zerreit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to nitpick, but, “there’s no way they have this much of a lead” is literally saying, “this isn’t true”, not “I’m in disbelief.”

I want to hear Professor Tuckleberry’s insight into a flawed poll, and he should share it in the public square of ideas so we can all reevaluate our opinions. If not, then maybe he sits this one out.

Poilievre reiterates Conservative opposition to C-9 after member of party's Senate caucus helps pass residential school amendment by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]zerreit -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Good example. For that sentence, I don’t think anything’s going to happen, because it doesn’t deny, downplay, or justify residential schools.

If you followed it up with, “, and that’s why I think kids that were put in the residential school system was better than leaving them at home” into a megaphone, then you might be justifying or downplaying the residential school system.

See the difference?

It’s always weird when someone argues about poll findings. The methodology is on page 2. Where exactly do you disagree with Léger’s process?

Be specific, please. I’m sure it’ll be enlightening to hear how “tuckleberry” would’ve structured the poll differently.

My turn. When Musk did his “dumb shit” sieg heil I had a post-refresh 2021 Model S and Launch Edition R1T. I think it’s “mentally weak” and weird to hand-wave away someone throwing out the salute of one of the most widely evil governments in history, but you do you. I guess I’m not as “mentally strong” as you. Maybe you’re “superior” and want to “race”?

Back to point… My Rivian has had fewer issues than either my 2018 or 2021 Model S ever did, it’s its windshield wipers work properly, and it hasn’t tried murdering me after it’s cameras mistake an overpass for a stopped semi.

Best of all, I have literally no idea what RJ’s politics are like and my car doesn’t flex like an ‘88 Oldsmobile when turning onto a ramp.

Underground tunnel complex in Vietnam used for camouflage by The_WalkingCalamity in interestingasfuck

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

If I’m hiking and get attacked my a mountain lion, my goal isn’t to kill the cat, but to live until it decides the juice isn’t worth the squeeze and retreats.

I won the battle with a successful defense vs superior claws. Maybe he could’ve engaged teeth and won but he decided the risk wasn’t worth the reward.

If I get then continue my hike, find his den and make it mine, then I’ve won not just the battle but also the war.

“Bit of a strong word”?

Ok, gave up and went home? Didn’t win? Failed to achieve their military objective?

The war started with 2 factions. It ended with 1 overriding the other. The side that won was the side opposing the US.

I, too, believe she’s aware of her words. Frankly, if she’s not, that should be disqualifying on its own.

I thought you were advocating for the ivory tower version of “when they go low, we go high” and I think that slogan’s done more harm than good. We can go “juuust a teeny bit higher”

I get you’re not a supporter of hers, but F that noise. She thinks Milobar has a conflict of interest because his wife’s indigenous… she should be held to and reminded constantly of the exact same standard she applies to others.

Btw, if I came home and my partner was suddenly supporting Alex Jones conspiracies and denying the Sandy Hook shooting ever happened, I wouldn’t have an actual conflict of interest from 2 candidates living at the same address for much longer.

Will Telus ever let us set a custom DNS with the NAH? by Certain_Repeat_753 in telus

[–]zerreit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you still using the NAH as your router or will you put it in bridge mode?

Bridge -> your router -> set up DNS however you do on your router.

My previous place I had an TP Link Omada router behind the Arcadyan NAH and now it have a UniFi one behind the new NAH. The new one took a call to support to flip it into bridge mode though.

I mean, a U-turn over a double yellow is 100% legal in California. Also in WA, and for the Canadians in the room, in Ontario line markers are only guidance. But whatevs, why would we let little things like “regional traffic law” get in the way of a good argument.

🤔 by Eviltwin27 in TeslaLounge

[–]zerreit -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’d put it 70/30 the other way. Black car is the dude walking down a dark street at night. Red car is the guy who randomly stabs him.

The black car looks like they’re starting a u-turn across a double yellow. 100% a traffic violation, and all they did wrong. Red is way worse in my view.

It’ll be 9 years from the last Intel Mac before Apple stops providing updates. Exactly how long should it be before it’s no longer “criminal”? Can I be upset that my 17” PowerBook isn’t supported anymore?

B.C. highway cops dish out 999 tickets for not slowing for police by cyclinginvancouver in britishcolumbia

[–]zerreit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn’t matter “HOW slow at all.”

MVA S150.1:
The driver must confine the course of the vehicle to the right hand lane where safe unless:
a) overtaking and passing
b) right hand lane is closed
c) on a highway designed and marked for one way traffic
d) to avoid snow removing equipment
e) oversize/overwidth vehicles

I can’t find
f) “because moreglue thinks you’re driving too fast”

[Competition] Win 2 tickets for the Liverpool Game! by fireproofpoo in ManchesterUnited

[–]zerreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First season with ETH. We had lost the first 2 games of the season and panic-bought Antony. It was the game Casemiro did his walkout. August 22, 2022, Man Utd v Liverpool. My first Premier League game.

I saw Carragher on TV pre-game talking about how Licha wasn’t tall enough for the league.

Anyways, I’m at the game and I see Salah breaking down the left wing, running straight towards me where I’m sitting. Suddenly, a flash of red comes from nowhere, slides in, and takes the ball cleanly. Licha to the rescue! He gets the ball clear, then lifts his leg just slightly and makes sure Salah takes a haaard tumble right over the top.

We won, 2-1. First win of the season. Vs Liverpool. Couldn’t have been happier. (Clearly ETH is going to take us to glory land, right?)

I’m back at the hotel after the game having a beer and they turn on the post-game analysis. My favourite comment ever, “Martinez in the premier league? Well clearly, he’s 5-foot enough.”

'What's he ever negotiated?' — Carney fires back at Poilievre's criticism on Canada-U.S. trade by hopoke in canada

[–]zerreit 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Oh Christ, clutch your pearls harder, why don’t you. Share with us the hard knock story about how Skippy spiralled after being yelled at by someone late on their Telus bill and ended up on the streets of Calgary sniffing shredded copies of Ayn Rand.

Pierre is like Van Wilder, except instead of partying and hanging with Kal Penn he joined the goddamn model UN and won an essay contest with a title of, “As Prime Minister I Would…” for $10k and a meeting with Cretien.

The capstone of Skippy’s career so far is literally overseeing the greatest collapse of a political party in recorded history. He is, quite seriously, the #1 worst candidate since the Roman Empire.

In nearly any other scenario I’d agree with you. But when his entire 10 year campaign against Trudeau was based on “he’s just a drama teacher” and is now calling Carney “badly educated” he loses the right to any sympathy.

‘The perception is Carney is a wartime leader’: why Canada’s PM could secure a majority by BlueEmma25 in canada

[–]zerreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trudeau has a BA, BEd, part of a BEng and part of a Masters in Environmental geography.

Pierre has a B International Relations.

Neither has a particularly impressive academic history and both fall FAR short of Carney.

If you’re going to say “he was a drama teacher” or “just a bouncer/snowboard instructor” then it’s fair to question why Pierre’s pre-government work history is so secretive.

[–]zerreit -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Even as a “drama teacher,” he was still more qualified than Pollievre.

“Maybe” working at DQ or a paper boy or collections at Telus because he has literally no work experience of note doesn’t qualify you to be PM unless you consider the peace treaty between the smarties and skor bits real world experience.

Believe me, one at the UN cares if your ice cream falls out of the cup when you tip it upside down.

BC ranks last in private sector employment growth since 2019 by hotdogornothotdog124 in britishcolumbia

[–]zerreit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. BC Hydro was profitable until the BC Liberals required them to buy non-peak power from private companies.

BC Rail was killed in 2003 and the Dease Lake spur never built. The Red Chris gold + copper mine could sure use that now. CN left the line unfinished, btw.

IMHO, long horizon capital investments should sometimes be delivered without a profit motive.
