This is disgusting, how can so many Americans look at this man's antics and think a single positive thing? A criminal, rapist, liar, narcissistic, selfish, easily manipulated, hate monger, moron but the exit polls say "oh Trump would be best for the economy" like are you fucking kidding me? The guy with the plan to slap a tariff on every other thing? The guy who can't string together a coherent speech for the economics club? What a joke this all is, and here I am absoltuly physically sick about it. I'm sick because it actually matters, it does, it matters and it's so damn close this fucking clown could be in power again, after killing so many people, after taking women's rights away, after all of it, and because what? Voters remember cheaper bananas or some shit? Fuck this life.

That's serious resistance worthy, in my opiniom. It's a straight facist manouver to stretch the law and good faith to install yourself. You have to fight facism.

The scared, stupid, and selfish model. You don't have to be all three, but any one of them and Trump will take advantage of it to bring you over.

We're in quite the state up here. One of our biggest problems is that Conservatives rule in many provinces, another problem is leakage of American conservatism up north, and a third problem is our PM is deeply unpopular despite, and I am willing to defend this, being one of the best PM's the country has had in my lifetime (40 years). It doesn't matter that one could fill a book with the PM's accomplishments, the guy has been tuned out by the population and honestly needs to retire. He has been around long enough to have accumulated enough ill will that he drags his party down, my party, and I hate saying it but I feel like he has to go before we end up with a conservative blowout and all the progress of the last decade is erased in just four years.

Peterson is bad because he appeals to lonely blue collar millennial men who, if they had positive male role models or better friends, would have a real chance of being actual decent people.

Tate is bad because he appeals to young men and boys who lack the life experience to know the guy is a loser and a grifter.

My opinion anyway.

 

The federal government intends to resurrect a post-war effort to ramp up housing construction across Canada — but with a 21st-century twist.

A consultation process will begin next month on developing a catalogue of pre-approved home designs to accelerate the home-building process for developers, Housing Minister Sean Fraser said Tuesday.

It's a reboot of a federal policy from the post-Second World War era, when the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. developed straightforward blueprints to help speed up the construction of badly needed homes, Fraser said.

"When many thousands of soldiers were returning home to be reunited with their families at once, Canada faced enormous housing crunches," he said.

"We intend to take these lessons from our history books and bring them into the 21st century." .... [More in the article]

 

So the Zotac RTX 4080 Trinity OC is too wide to properly fit in my Phantek P400A thanks to that giant power adapter.

I can't even use one of those 90 degree cable mods because the fan shroud sticks out.

Can someone reccomend me a suitably wide case.

Available for free in ebook format. "The Birth of Psychological War explores the history, politics, and geography of United States psychological warfare in the 20th century against the backdrop of the contemporary 'post-truth era'. From its origins in the Second World War, to the United States' counterinsurgency campaigns in Vietnam, Whyte traces how the theory and practice of psychological warfare transformed the relationship between the home front and theatres of war. Whyte interrogates the broader political mythologies that animate popular conceptions of psychological war, such as its claim to make war more humane and less violent.On the contrary, The Birth of Psychological War demonstrates the role of psychological warfare in expanding the scope and scale of military violence amidst ostensible efforts to 'win hearts and minds'. While casting a critical eye on psychological warfare, Whyte establishes its continued significance for the contemporary student of international relations."

A snippet " The Topic Concentration chart above lends the clearest picture into the implied rationale behind the bans. Namely, the bans are not and have not been about the physical removal of a book from a shelf. The bans instead are meant to:

Virtue signal by people in positions of institutional power to voting-age parents interested in school choice, parental rights, and wedge social issues to the detriment of non-voting age students

Reject and exclude topics that challenge a perceived status quo from the public discourse (e.g. non-heteronormativity, non-cis identity, non-traditional gender roles, and non-Judeo-Christian books are targeted) "

Hi folks,

I've been watching too many video reviews and just want a little bit of advice before I make my purchase. I'm wanting to get into 3d printing with the most satisfying results possible for around $600 CAD .

I'm looking at the Ender 5 S1 , currently for $599 CAD on Amazon. It does what I want , I think, it gets nice and hot (300C) , can use lots of different materials, auto levels, uses.usb and wifi, is quick and has a cube frame.

I suspect I would be quite happy with it. But before I go and pull the trigger, is there anything else around this price range , say plus or minus $100 , that would be better? If so what advice can you give? What models should I investigate.
