Most people aren't very good at it, but there are plenty of people who practice and get quite good at doing it.

The chance of them pulling it off with nobody noticing or saying anything is very low, it's not a one person operation. Then depending on the speed of the poison it would become obvious that there's something in the water very quickly and people would stop drinking it.

Yea, I think the limits are going to top out around that 300Hz mark, it's going to be really hard to convince people they can see or feel a difference between 300Hz and 480Hz. I have no preference between 240Hz and 300Hz already.

For computer monitors, I also wouldn't be surprised if we top out at 4k for regular consumers, with a few niche 8k products available.

Laser tag.

It's really dropped off as a sport over the last thirty years. I think kids get the same rush from video games these days.

Mistakenly watched life is beautiful at a drunken party in high school. Still remember everything.

Great movie that I will never watch again.

It's funny that you think America isn't pulling the strings from the start.

Starting?

Israel and Iran have been at war for decades.

Hand sanitizer frequently works too.

Depends on what you mean by devices.

My wife and I have two vehicles, this has been important when one failed for a bit.

Theres enough computers and cellphones in my home to restart civilization after a collapse.

I can't think of any electronic device I couldn't be without for at least a few days without serious issues.

The most critical thing that could go out is the power, and I have little control over that but at least my local power company is amazing at restoring service around here. We've never been out for more than 24 hours in the last decade.

The party of fiscal responsibility ya'll

They say it will be caught up to with growth, which they've predicted to be above 5% per year... no way that happens, major banks are predicting sub 2% growth.

 

He stands by the party member who made derogatory comments about indigenous and Muslim people.

Please judge him and find him wanting.

 

The title is a bit misleading and makes it sound like it's a one time payment. It's very different, he's promising to exempt up to $3000 a month towards your housing costs from income taxes. Starting at $1500 a month in 2026 and going up $500 a year for 3 more years. At the max, it would be a $36,000 a year tax deduction which is absolutely massive, that's half of the average family income.

Great idea? It's complicated, but probably not a good idea.

When you make something "cheaper" for everyone like this in a supply constrained market, all that does is drive up the prices of rents and housing sale prices since people can now use that freed up money to pay more for those.

Also, his plan to pay for this multi-billion dollar plan is:

“Obviously, we need to take a look at this reckless spending that David Eby has put in place in terms of how to sort of rein in some of that spending,” said Rustad.

So that's not really "fiscally conservative" at all.

 

This asshole is literally a conspiracy theorist. He says it was about controlling the population, not stopping the spread of the virus.

Which countries (and even provinces) had the fewest covid deaths per capita? Oh.. the ones with the highest vaccination rates.

Everyone with a brain knows vaccines reduce illness, that's why we have the fucking things.

 

Uber's reply to the new laws.

 

Surprise surprise, a Conservative who's got a past full of hate.

 

This is the true Canada, open to all ideas. Let's keep it this way.

 

Personally, it seems stupid not to have a liaison in high schools. This is where teens establish "bad" patterns, and every single one they manage to save early is one less problem for decades in the future.

 

Extremely unfortunate situation.
