Okay, well a national entity of some kind is the one issuing these certificates, from my understanding. If you lived in Scotland, it would be issued by the government of Scotland. In my country, we use the term federal because we are a confederation.

is it illegal to use a single serve wrapped slice of Kraft cheese as a postcard?

It is literally a question of making a postcard.

It’ll be all torn up inside one of the machines, probably rip open the package and create a bunch of plastic shreds, and ruin the day of one of their equipment technicians. USPS is not easy on lettermail, their equipment manhandles it.

Just use the back of a cereal box or something.

being secretive for no reason

You’re not being secretive for no reason. You’re being secretive to avoid harassment from someone you care about. Seems like they don’t really return the favour, they just make fun of you.

Oh, you know, the right to being legally recognized as the gender on your official Gender Recognition Certificate, which cost money and was issued by the federal government (and was explicitly stated on government websites to be legally equivalent to being born the stated gender).

I think maybe he meant “nudging me along”? I imagine Putin there at every step, reassuring Trump that he should just wait and see, that he’ll do all work and make Trump look like the big man who negotiated a historic peace deal.

No peace deal means no publicity for the peace deal, so now Trump is getting worried because he tanked the global economy with nothing to show for it.

Sorry, the NDP can’t be “the left” when they’ve not had socialism as a core part of their party identity for years now. They have to find some other grift now that they’ve ignored both what the country needs as well as the people that have supported them for decades.

I can’t keep voting NDP when they spit in my face and let Singh continue as leader after proving he doesn’t have what it takes. They are in a grave of their own making and it’s hard to feel bad for them. If you want to be the left, fucking act like leftists.

Dude, that’s so fucking weird. Neither of my parents ever went to college and I did, but I don’t obsess over it. “Everything” is a terrible answer.

Outside of university admissions, what’s the purpose of this? “Underrepresented” how? Do you really think society is a meritocracy?

Derek deVries likes to spend more time with his head up his ass than his nose in his Bible if he truly believes that this means he can’t Jesus any more.

I have a “I will not ever go back to Windows” mindset and I think that helps. If I fuck up my system to the point it’s not immediately fixable, I have a separate /home partition so I can wipe / and start over without worrying too much. I look for answers to fix things on my phone when my system is inaccessible so I’m not stuck.

I am really not a Linux expert, but I was a Windows power user and I like to fix things myself and understand the basics of why it broke.

Yeah, I had one working at some point but the others didn’t work out. It really does seem like Wine GE is where it’s at for me, it just works like 99% of the time no matter who the repacker is.

Honest question: do you work for Fair Vote? I get their emails, so I am down with the goal, but I see you explicitly link to the community (where you’re a mod) a lot.

Funny how all the promises to imprison people for the rest of their lives are never broken but the promises to keep water clean are always broken. Interesting that most extraction projects run across indigenous land, isn’t it?

Omg, shorting RIM in 2009 would have been really stupid even though yes, the writing was on the wall.

There was a lot of national interest in keeping RIM afloat because it was basically our (Canada’s) first modern tech company to have wild success beyond our own borders. A lot of random people had very positive views of the company.

I didn’t really see a huge dip in support for RIM in the media until around 2012 or so. That would have been a way better time to short. But as you say, most people should never short a stock – it isn’t simple or easy to tell when to do it or when to stop.

Honestly, this is kind of the thing that confused me a lot in school during social studies and history. Indigenous people get to say no, but when they say no, the government gets to do it anyway. How is that legal? Why aren’t we bound by the law only when it comes to indigenous sovereignty?

Also, we’ve fucking failed as a country when we haven’t even implemented all of the articles of UNDRIP. That shit was first adopted in 2007 (Canada voted against it at first), and all we have now is a 5-year “action plan” for 2023-2028 where the goal is to “work towards” implementing the declaration.

And none of it is legally binding at all.

“The GDP warrants were designed for a world that no longer exists,” said Ukraine’s finance ministry on Thursday.

While that’s true, unfortunately you still issued them and powerful people hold them. Billionaires, with or without the IMF, will gleefully wring every dollar from your bones if they have to.

The “investors” even say in the article that if they can’t pay the $2.6B soon they’ll have to pay $6.6B later, so it should be a simple decision for Ukraine. Yes… a simple decision to put your people into poverty for the horrible crime of being invaded.

As we all know, nothing bad has ever happened when a country has an exorbitant debt after the conclusion of a years-long military conflict. So everything will be swell after Ukraine gives away nearly $3B instead of rebuilding the country.

IoT means Internet of Things and it’s mostly for purpose-built commercial applications, like running a computer as a kiosk or industrial controller. You could maybe put it on a Raspberry Pi or something.

If you want to run a gym, homelab, or office, Windows IoT may be for you. Otherwise, it’s not for you. The reason there’s no bloatware is to make your hardware run as smooth as possible so it can fulfill its fixed purpose.

If it’s the repacker I’m thinking of (JC), he makes it so complicated for no reason. Was that the case again here or was it someone else? I’d rather just use Lutris than his releases.

I’m a basketball fan, but the draft is a reset, and potentially a renewal for some teams that sucked last year. It’s a time for a fan to get hopeful (unless they drafted low or this year’s class is shitty).

Generally, it’s also an excuse to get really drunk, talk shit (online or in-person), and set up your fantasy league team. It signals the start of the season and gets you hyped up for pre-season matches featuring the new guys, even though you know pre-season doesn’t really mean shit.

There’s not much “special” about it, but if sports are a major hobby for you, following along whenever there’s an “event” is just something some people feel the need to do. Sports fans obsessing over the draft is kind of like people who are really into movies making a spreadsheet of all of the new movies for the year.

I think there must be an issue with federation because it’s still not correct for me.
