Not at all. The Conservative Party (like all parties) have regular party conventions. They can conduct a leadership review at the convention and start the process to replace the leader at that time.

A1 has a direct drive extruder. It does function as kind of a hybrid thing with the AMS though. Use of the AMS with TPU isn't recommended, but there are a couple of harder TPU filaments that supposedly work.

I haven't finished listening, but I assume everything went well for the privateers.

It's not because people kept printing their emails 40" wide on the plotter? TIL.

Well first off, through ~~God~~ Linux, all things are possible. You can have multiple hard links to a file, where a given hard link is deleted, but you can still manipulate the file through any other other links. Alternately, you can open a file, and while you have a valid open file descriptor, delete the file. The file descriptor is still valid until you close the file though, so you can still save (thus move) it to a new location.

Windows locks files when you open them, preventing these kinds of shenanigans.

Was that voat? That one was initially promising, then almost immediately went to shit as all the worst people from reddit went there.

In addition, good elections have a couple more properties. They should be understandable by the average voter. Paper ballots work well for this (esp. in FFTP jurisdictions). Online voting makes it really hard for even experts to completely understand the system, and impossible outside of a tiny number of experts to verify.

Second, elections are a social activity, and should feel like it. Anything that make an election feel like we're all getting together to select our leadership, rather than an adversarial process should be encouraged. Online anything these days seems to be optimizing for max animosity. A counterexample might be the Australian democracy sausages.

Everything everywhere was surveyed in imperial measurements. As a surveyor in a previous career, metric was the best thing that could have happened. Maps in imperial scales are miserable.

And future me? What has that guy ever done for me? Fuck that guy too.

Postal banking is a thing in many countries. Canada Post did banking from its inception until 1968. The major benefits are that there is a post office in every community, even really tiny ones, and that a Canada Post bank system can offer basic banking services to people who otherwise wouldn't be able to.

This is an advocacy piece, but it includes the history of postal banking in Canada: https://lindsayadvocate.ca/corporate-pressure-ended-postal-banking-in-1968-its-time-to-bring-it-back/

Oh, that's easy. The BoC overnight rate is only one of the factors that go into the Prime Rate, which is determined by the banks themselves. The Prime Rate is also down by about half a percent.

Credit card rates on the other hand, are set by the banks based on how much they want to rip you off. The only government involvement there is that the card has to stay under the criminal interest rate, or 48% APR.

The current Government has proposed to reduce that rate to 35% APR, but we'll see.

In short, your MP won't be able to help with your credit card, because cards are issued by the banks, not the Government. Personally, I'd love to see Canada Post get into personal banking, but it's a bit of a pipe dream.

The degens from upcountry.
