Generally, enough to be always, the "protect the children" argument is used by the worst warmongering authoritarian neocons to ensure enslavement.

Instead, there seems to be a promise to not tax or fine them, in addition to giving them encryption backdoors on its citizens, and beg to buy overpriced Nvidia chips to give it all to Big US tech owned skynet. Reward is 30% tariffs to US sales on everything.

It would be colossally stupid to put out a press release that tells the other players what cards you’re holding

There are public commitments that indicate betrayal of Canadians, though:

  • Defense pact with Philippines is direct support for US war on China.
  • G7 statement on "Iran must not have nuclear weapons", while a platitude, is direct support for all Israel hasbara (weeks/months away since 1980s) and war on Iran. By extention, support for US and their strikes.
  • Ukraine aid is simple continuation of US proxy war on Russia, even as US "forces" colonies to pay for it, including most recent proposal of NATO buying US patriot missiles to gift to Ukraine. Dividing EU from Russia is US policy. Gaslighting people that US is a better ally than Russia is US domination of NATO.
  • Fortress Can Am and banning Chinese investment is further tying/subjugating Ontario/Canada to US without alternatives, and resulting in punishments instead of enthusiasm for the subservience.

When Trump negotiates publicly with lies and public punishment based on those lies, the private negotiations seem not just pointless, as something Trump won't listen/abide with, but more than likely a US trick to pacify us, while we get destroyed with full complicity.

Doug Ford is a US agent, gaslighting us into US subservience and destruction of Canadian auto sector. "Fortress Can Am" is treason, and has no "Am" partner/supporter.

Future is EVs. Ontario/Canada can either decide to support more USMCA compliant auto manufacturing or threaten nationalization of US subsidiaries that don't invest more, or cut investment.

Development of rare earths, lithium, other metals in Canada is possible through Chinese investment. Investment in processing plants where Canadian companies naturally get all of the supply they can sell more affordably than through US reliance. Modern auto plants use giga presses for outer body. Motor and battery manufacturing also highly automated. Chinese investment should include manufacturing of automation in Canada for Canadian and international markets.

Article talks about affordable EVs. These can be made in NA and Canada especially through Chinese technology and our cheap access to materials. Just the motors and batteries. GM equinox is a good value car. Could be made at same price in Canada as in MX, with cheaper access to materials/components.

When Do-FF(Fossil Fuel or Fat Fuck)-Fo supports increasing dependence on Alberta and FFs, he supports energy insecurity. Solar and EVs, reduce our refining demand. Another area to cooperate with Chinese investment.

Sun, afaiu, was part of a large committee on js without any particular leadership. They got the committee to agree to giving it trademark by complaining/threatening that the name was too close to java. Sun got trademark 4 years after Netscape started support for js. ECMAscript was mostly the same committee without SUN ownership/trademark.

Saving the economy will need more spending, even if some efficiencies in government is fine. Don't hear about anything about economic boosting other than dead ender energy pipelines.

They ended up with Javascript trademark (afaik, because the name was too close to Java) too. Sued node.js over something related.

June is a milestone as well. Even though its highest solar production month, there is often a decent AC demand that can use peakers.

Can we sue Oracle back for any of this?

"12.1" is interpreted as the date December 1st, and as before for dates with no year the default is 2001 because of course.

it gets better and more coherent the deeper you go :P

human behaviour, and big time sensuality were top 40

 

Whether US assists Israel's defense or attacks is a function of threats made against it.

The trade war BS gives US the power to stop that BS in exchange for G7 slave colonies supporting its zionazi warmongering genocide.

The US can bribe Russia with less Ukraine support. Can declare victory over China's fentanyl measures.

Apparently, US carrier fleet is coming towards Persian Gulf for clearly unfriendly reasons. Whether anyone explicitly/directly helps Iran eliminate it or Tel Aviv, or threatens to, determines course of war.

US retains bribery/extortion power to make world sacrifice Iran, I expect.

 

Closing straights of Hormuz is less precise than controlling access to that and Red sea. Exchanging military support for both access to its energy, and others.

Helping Iraq liberate itself from US is key to it replacing its US controlled treasury with new oil revenue. Europe would choose between US and Russian supplies, and so this would be yet another US extortion war vector on Europe.

KSA would still be able to get through Suez, but others wouldn't.

 

By giving every child$1000, (optimistically can grow to $4000 by 18th birthday), and allowing tax deferred contributions (mostly by rich) to the account, more Americans will be made to promote Corporatist supremacy.

If you ask for "anti-business" reforms against structural slavery, then will be "ruining your children's savings."

 

Pushing over Russian red lines is what got Ukraine special military operation. It can result in strikes on NATO eventually too. US political leadership attempting to resolve situation may protect them more than its colonies still in rabid Russophobia/CIA deep state mode.

 

Ukraine would owe familied $2B if it accepted the bodies. Victims of nazi regime coercion that will sacrifice every last conscript for anti-Russia empire geopolitics, see it as last straw against their cannon fodder slavery.

6000 soldiers since last month is also a very large number that has averaged 1000 or so per month. 10 to 1 ratio of Ukrainian to Russian dead, btw, at least over last year.

 

16gb ram. nvida GTX1650. Triple monitors

want to run existing windows 10 installation in VM, with write access. This is mostly for tax software.

plan is new SSD drive. Make 2 partitions for windows, with backup to both. Let it be C: drive? Then reformat PCIe M2 drive for linux.

I only care about the VM not FUBARing the windows installation, even if I have a 2nd backup of it.

I play one game that has a linux version: beyond all reason.

I've used debian/ubuntu based linux before. I don't need/want to highly customize performance/features. Just working out of box.
