Let him down whenever, as long as he's orbited with a cannon.

Fody is a Canadian company (not sure what percentage of their products are made in Canada or not though). Their lineup is targeted at people with IBS, but that includes being GF.

Sure, but having bad taste doesn't make one a Nazi either.

Yeah that was my source as well. But there's some CCTV footage that appears to show the plane moving upside down much faster than taxiing speed, so seems like it was just a rumour.

Those were individual public opinion polls. Basically the raw data of a questionnaire which may have been targeting specific areas or demographics.

The 338 data is the best guess at who would win if the election were held today. It takes aggregated polls, ridings, demographics and historical data into account. So it is a much more sophisticated prediction.

However, it notably doesn't project into the future. That means the odds are not taking into account current trends, so Poilievre's drop from 100 to 75 is extremely significant. His odds will likely continue declining for some time. The question is where will it taper off and will there be a rebound before the actual election.

This is completely unverified, but I heard it happened while the plane was taxiing. Just a freakishly strong crosswind picking up a light plane.

Because like it or not, actually paying for stuff is the only way to save journalism and by extension our democracies.

The alternative is to link shitty clickbait / AI spam. At least this way:

  1. People might be encouraged to pay for journalism.
  2. There are many ways to bypass the paywall for those who won't or can't pay.

Please don't ban paywalls.

The real question is whether they'll still want in after the US is done with whatever it is they're doing to it.

Wow, less than a cup of coffee?

Fantastic game. Don't let the survival crafter label deter you. It's a love letter to half life while breaking new ground in all the right places.

At least you aren't going to die becoming a southern belle.

As a non American, maybe someone can help clarify something.

My understanding is that executive orders only apply to federal agencies. So does this just mean that cafeterias in federal office buildings will need to use plastic straws? And restaurants / stores are completely unaffected by this?
