What a terrible way to organize the session.

“What journalists do is they line up to wait for a question — one English, one French,” Le Couteur explained. “A number of those so-called reporters essentially tried to stack the deck and be there in line well ahead of the finish of the debate, so about 20 to 30 minutes ahead of it.”

Win who brings a tent the day before next time, +10 friends.

Now I understand the Beaverton post about bringing in 35 journalists.

If my memory does not fail me, there was research associating some kinds of threat and anxiety with conservative voters.

The politicians' playbook seems to cater to that kind of voter.

The conservative candidate that knocked on my door started saying how dangerous is a street nearby I walk daily. Most of his arguments were based on fear, and the culprit is always "the liberals". So that is definitely in their playbook.

Sadly for him, most of that information is easily accessible, like a map of crimes in the city, and his arguments fell short.

There are a lot of studios, diverse size and genres. What is missing in the website is their pubishers.

Depends on the threat model and how long do you need the data.

Worked on a place long ago, that anything they needed to save offline from more than a few decades where stored in microfilm, the expectancy there where they would last 80 to 100 years.

Anything else was pretty much tape.

You also take in account the technology avaiability. The more complex is to use, harder will it be to reproduce in the future. Even with tapes, you might want to copy the data to another tape/recorder every decade or two, to keep it on par with the technology.

some candidates and volunteers “faced intimidation” from constituents

This is sad to hear. I hope they are OK.

Another reason why FPTP needs to end.

Not really sure what is bold about it, pretty similar to the other parties but missing how they would measure their goals.

Another thing that bothers me is that they do not mention multi-unit homes, city density or collective work(unless they used terms I am not familiar).

Same vibes as the guy that "fought" a Lion with Toilet paper.

TIL Ground News is the new Raid.

Thanks for the video, very informative and entertaining.

This looks more like a tool for people working with "sentiment analysis" than to get the properly informed.


Not a trustworthy methodology.

They are based on the average rating of three independent news monitoring organizations: All Sides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias Fact Check. ...

...the analysis is done in the context of the U.S. political system.

I am not sure if you replied to the wrong thread, good for you that it works for your needs, but

My point is that GOG did not drop Linux support and instead partnered with another company. Not about the quality of the software.

  1. Gog waning Linux support is completely unrelated to Heroic
  2. Gog did not seek partnership
  3. Heroic devs just applied to a program that anyone can apply to.

That said, it is shady to inject links and not notify it on the release note or change log. I think there was a message on their mastodon at some point, and the implementation crashed for some people with more restrictive firewall on their network, there were some discussions on the issues page of their code repository.

Ah, the bambieshart's brocade quest. The video really sells the voice acting!

Gog stopped their own linux launcher and instead unofficially partnered

Stop spreading this nonsense.

Heroic added affiliated links to their software that anyone can apply for (without notifying the users at first).

 

Amar Pelos Dois is one of my favourite Eurovision songs, and Zioferblat covers it beautifully.

Carpet cleaner machine? (self.buycanadian)
submitted 1 week ago by Nils to c/buycanadian
 

I am looking for a carpet cleaner machine, but it is ok if works for upholstery as well. I think some of them are also advertised as Steam Cleaner.

The company I see most people recommending, Bissell, is from the USA, and so are most of the other companies I see around except 2:

  • Noma
  • Dupray

But I cannot find much information on their products online, or reviews of their quality. Noma does not list their product on their website. It appears that none is made in Canada.

Do you have any recommendation on carpet cleaner machine, or where to buy them?

Thank you very much.

 

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has promised to raise the contribution limit on tax-free savings accounts (TFSA) by $5,000 — as long as it's invested in Canadian companies. Andrew Chang breaks down what makes the plan more complicated than it sounds, and who would actually benefit from it.

This is a recap of the final of Dora, the song competition that elects the Eurovision participant to represent Croatia.

I started watching the National selections of the countries that hold an event, and enjoyed them a lot.

Sadly, my favorite did not win, but I think this was one of the stronger Nationals I watched so far. I wonder if it is an effect of the Baby Lasagna results.
