We're quite jealous of your voting system here in upside-down Australia. We just had another "vote strategic" moment that resulted in all of the minor parties losing influence just to keep the conservatives out of power. Trudeau's biggest lasting failure will be his inability to actually pass vote reform like he promised, and FPTP will eventually result in us graduating from US-light to full on US-two-party-ism.

I don't disagree with you on MacDonald's track record. But in terms of significance to the country it's hard to deny his influence. The country wouldn't look anywhere like it does today, for example.
But sure, my point remains the same: If Carney actually passes voting reform it would propel him to one of the most significant PMs in the entire country's history.
I know there's a lot of folks you could list there that did great things for our country, but in my personal opinion changing how we elect our representatives is so fundamental to the functioning of the country not even universal health care compares.
Not saying I'd trade PR for healthcare though, in case someone were to propose that Faustian deal.
If he actually gets rid of FPTP Mark would, in my opinion, go down in history as the most significant PM since John A. Macdonald.
And how, pray tell, is a "real" firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world, who can take you out from half a planet away without you ever seeing anyone until you are ginsu-bladed in half (reference: https://www.pcmag.com/news/us-used-drone-carrying-knife-missile-to-kill-al-qaeda-chief)?
We don't need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence, we need alliances, a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence. Thinking you'll make any meaningful difference with your personal firearm and a couple of hours on the gun range is the exact same magical thinking 2FA nuts keep using while the US government takes their rights and freedoms away.
While I agree with your main point (which to me sounds like "don't let your cats outside as they're an invasive species and will do serious damage to the local ecosystem"), suggesting to kill them on sight is a bit harsh and won't make you many allies.
We have much more humane options to capture, return, and if needed rehouse cats. Remember that these objectively invasive animals are also people's companions, and that some folks simply don't know better than the old belief that "cats should roam".
Yeah yeah, I blame autocorrect.
If your machine has a TPM chip, you can bypass the other requirements to upgrade to 11 with a simple registry edit. Not sure if that's an option for you, but it saved parents' older Surface device from the landfill.
If Bethesda handles SkyWind the same as SkyBlivion I am actually quite stoked to play a UE5 version of Morrowind....
Actual Microsoft rollout practices 🤣
"I have concepts of a plan..."
Hint
The name of this song is also a Celtic Frost album title.

The wound of Baal will be healed
When sign of time is unsealed
The wound of Baal will be healed
The world will burn by Sorath's flame
And through the solar sign proclaim
First hint at 24 hours
Since it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The crown is important
Second hint at 48 hours
Someone already guessed the band's name. And there is a reference to the song's title in both this picture and the lyrics .
Answer
Heavy lies the crown by Orange Goblin.
Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear
We stand for truth and honour And on the morning tide We head to war together Beneath the Northern sky And Odin's ravens lead us on to victory.

Hint: This band tragically lost their guitarist in a car crash (driving a Mazda RX7-FD at the time). They eventually broke up and now tour as an orchestra playing symphonic Christmas music.
[24 hour hint] Since this is a pretty difficult one, here's a big hint: The band is named after a poem by John Milton.
[Solution] This was a hard one due to the genre, but I loved how the AI captured the two states the subject of the song finds himself in by using the heaven and hell imagery side by side and the depiction of the long stairwell to absolution. Nowhere in the song does it explicitly mention heaven or that ascension, but it does capture the protagonists journey from fear and self-doubt to letting to and wondering why they ever felt that way to begin with quite well.
As it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The clock and what it represents is extremely relevant to the topic of this song.
[Update] Good guesses everyone. The link with Meatloaf is that he and Iron Maiden have a song that shares the same title (Heaven can wait), and the link with The Hu is that Iron Maiden will be touring the US this year with The Hu as support.

While that's largely true, it also oversimplifies the realities of the conflict.
Without American aid the Russians wouldn't have been able to repel the Germans nearly as effective as they did (if at all), and without D-day splitting the war into two fronts, Russian losses on the way to Berlin would've been significantly higher.
That all said, Trump's statement is obviously horseshit and a complete disservice to the rest of all the allied forces.
