Germany was the worldwide leader in science before the Nazis. We may see a shift to Europe or China if science is actively suppressed in the USA.

They wouldn’t need to. Soft power would be sufficient to get them nearly everything they want, without risking boots on the ground.

The main risk to us, from a military perspective, is if the USA collapses federally and the states end up fighting amongst each other. The Midwest states will collapse into chaos and feudal fiefdoms, lacking access to trade opportunities (IMO) so border raids there will be the big risk. Actual military occupation might be a concern if the dice rolls the wrong way in the East - Toronto and Quebec are very vulnerable, and sitting on huge reserves of fresh water plus the St. Laurence seaway.

It would be a hell of a thing if Canada ended up with alliances with the southern slaveholding states.

Austria, you listening? Time to get the team back together, I think.

True, though it might be a temporary advantage to create an acute crisis at a key time. Something to keep in the back pocket maybe. NCD stuff.

Genuinely, though, I wonder how centralized their vodka industry is. A few bombs could cause a fairly major crisis if as many people are alcoholic as rumoured.

I have never seen someone shoplift food and I never will.

“This part of the Crown corporation is profitable on its own, we should sell it off!”

“Why are we spending so much money to subsidize this Crown corporation!? We should sell it off!”

It goes to show how little they actually care about capitalism. If farmland is more productive (makes more money) producing solar, then capitalism would say turn it into solar.

They’re literally stealing money from the farmers.

I really thought Harbour Air would be first.

I’ve been using rspamd for a while. It may be extensible to do token based classification like you want but it may take some work.

The place next door just got rebuilt as a fourplex, each unit of which is going for 1.6 million dollars. The mortgage would be $8k/month. I and my partner have no kids, no car, and both have solid incomes in union jobs. Our current rent is a hair under $1k/mo because we’ve been in this place awhile.

That mortgage plus taxes, utilities, would still be almost all our income. It’s ridiculous.

Mostly victims were native women he picked up on the street, I believe. The kind of people the cops actively avoid thinking about, even today. Another Picton could happen today, no problem.

I am about 99% sure this is racist trash? Kindly fuck off, if so.

As dividends go, that’s not great.

I’m hoping that Nebula, being run as a coop, will avoid much of that ‘growth at any cost’ mindset.

I didn’t say it was. I watch Youtube as well. Do not put words in my mouth.

This is a perfect example of someone saying “I like beans” and someone responding “WELL YOU MUST HATE TOMATOES THEN YOU NAZI LOVER” or something. :P

It can work out financially - I don’t know how they do it specifically, but suppose they put all the lifetime subs into one investment pool and used the interest on that to fund operations.

$300 can generate $20 per year for them. So I benefit by only having to pay once, and they benefit by getting a chunk up front instead of having it drip out over time.

Up front cash can also mean the ability to invest in larger things. They can put it into infra budget instead of ops budget.

Nebula is really good. I just bought a lifetime sub. Expensive but pays itself back in only a few years. Plus the creators there run it as a coop that has a takeover poison pill of some kind.

hah, earthquake microdosing.

In NZ they grow like weeds.
