Should be ctrl shift + t

Is there two shortcuts for this?

I have an EV, and I agree we don't need this incentive anymore.

I think they took the land, just like everyone else has been taking land for all of human history, and applying modern government concepts to something that happened a few hundred years ago is stupid.

We can try to prevent future injustices, we can fix wrongs that occurred in the lifetimes of people who are alive (like reparations for residential schools) but trying to go back and change things for anything done prior to anyone alive existing is stupid.

So the cutoff is "is anyone still alive that it directly happened to" and descendents do not count.

You must be out of the loop, I have different browser tabs and excel files up on different desktops right now.

Sometimes if you need to start a new file it will swap you around, but you can always immediately move it wherever you want.

I hate the original people argument. There is no land on this earth that wasn't conquered multiple times. Even the first nations in North America warred against each other and took land from each other many times before the Europeans showed up. It wasn't a giant happy campfire singalong for 10,000 years.

The Multiple desktops feature is critical for me. It allows you to use one computer for multiple functional concepts simultaneously without visually interfering with each other or constantly needing to close and re-open things. It's available in both windows and linux (which had it first) for a long time now.

I keep my personal stuff on one desktop, I keep my work stuff on a second desktop, and I keep my gaming stuff on a third desktop. Then I just flip between them based on what I'm currently doing.

That way I'm not getting things confused with each other, or distracted by something personal while I'm working.

Ctrl+Windows+Left/Right for Windows is the shortcut to flip back and forth between them. Or you can also see it on the Windows+Tab menu as well (along the bottom below the apps)

The only downside to this is that you need more RAM than normal, because it's not uncommon for me to have dozens (sometimes north of 100) of browser tabs, and a half dozen applications from office to video games open simultaneously between the different desktops. I would suggest running 32gb at a minimum, and 64gb is a lot better.

And boy howdy do they suck....

As a Canadian, it appears to me that most of the Americans who want to move here are doing so because they like and support the way that Canada is currently functioning, and that's fine by me.

Immigrants who want the country to change for them are problematic. I almost think that first generation immigrants shouldn't get to vote, it should be a gift to their children rather than themselves. That shouldn't even need the child to be born in Canada, I'd actually be fine with anyone who goes through at least half their primary education (so let's say grade 7 or younger) here being included if they moved here with their parents when they were younger.

Unless you're really old, I wouldn't bet too hard on that. Things tend to happen quickly once they reach a tipping point.

The Arab spring revolutions were not even two years long and a dozen countries countries with 4 rulers being deposed.

I would absolutely bet money that before I die in 30-40 years the US will have fewer states than it currently does.

Silver lining?

You're more likely to reach the revolution part of the history cycle faster, and reset the wheel for future generations to also fuck up.

There is a need by the population to be protected against being directly killed to help others.

That question becomes a lot murkier when it isn't a direct killing, such as the American healthcare system where poor people are just left to die so that doctors can be more quickly available to handle patients who can afford care. That happens daily, and plenty of people are totally okay with it.

The answer is yes, with the caveat that the many are not particularly good at figuring out what they need and that they often choose a sub-optimal solution to help a few people that there is some sort of emotional attachment to.

They're also really bad at understanding their biases in this scenario. They will often say "no" verbally but then make daily decisions that contradict that.
