Gotta wonder what part of “thou shalt not kill” is so difficult to understand for these people.

In Germany, when we read news like these, we say “ich kann gar nicht so viel essen wie ich kotzen möchte”, and I think that’s beautiful.


Don’t worry. They will conduct an internal review, which will identify the officer at fault and punish him by having him go on paid vacation.


Isn’t this a bit of an overreaction for an election that was decided by fewer than 400,000 votes? Why even look for symbolic support when the “loss” you suffered was within 1% of the other guy?


This is something I noticed too. Some years ago, one of the futuristic aspects of EVs was how silent they were. Meanwhile, where I live, the newest fad seems to be to buy enormous E-SUVs, and I’ve noticed that I can’t tell much of a difference between the conventional and electric versions of these cars in terms of noise (for small cars, the difference is substantial).


I’m not sure if you’re referring to trains/trams or genuinely suggesting that there could be a rail-based system for individual traffic (i.e., people use individual pods without restrictions on start/stop location or time). The latter seems genuinely utopian to me if it can be made to work.
Two reasons. First, the required majority can be lowered to vote him in with a simple majority, if no absolute majority can be achieved (this will not happen right away). Second, the members who broke rank probably only wanted to send a message, so it’s likely that they’ll change their vote back to the party line (this may happen fairly soon).


Thank you for the explanation. Just one follow-up to check if I understood: The minority government would then just include the Liberals but with support from the Bloc Québécois (i.e., the Bloc has the power to veto, but the legislation will still come from the Liberals)?
That seems plausible, although I still wonder why a coalition with the Bloc is then not also on the table (there’s probably a reason, I just don’t know about Canadian politics).


Question for the Canadians: Do you have two or multiple parties in parliament? I’m asking because the article states that a minority government was the goal, and I was wondering whether a coalition government wouldn’t be more advantageous.


Trump’s tariff policy is like the Windows file copy dialogue.





Looking at this chart, the situation seems to be much better nowadays than I realized.

Very important point, just one technical remark, because I see this a lot: You don’t necessarily want or need random samples in surveys. What you want is a probability sample, which means that you know the probability with which a person enters the sample. A random sample is a special type of probability sample, where each person has the same probability to enter the sample.
The large sample used for this “survey” in the OP is a convenience sample, which is a non-probability sample, where the persons’ probabilities to enter the sample are simply unknown. And this is often not a useful basis for a survey, because it’s affected by all sorts of response biases that are difficult to adjust for in non-probability samples.


Against the Storm and Dredge are two I can think of. They both run extremely well and without any tinkering with control schemes.


It’s called a patina, and it’s an intended side-effect of repeated use that increases performance.

Can you describe how you do this? I have mixed experience with in-home streaming via Steam (latency, disconnects, inability to connect when the host is running Windows with no monitor) but would be very interested in giving it another go with a Linux host and the Deck.
Like, what’s your setup and how does your typical way of using it look like (startup, streaming, etc.)?
