But there aren’t enough shampoo bottles to read.

It's incredibly sad. It's such a lose-lose situation we're all in. We have enormous natural resources to share with an enormous industrial partner, we share an enormous land border…

It seems you're misinformed and confused. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/2025007/artic...

I really need more Americans to understand that to the other 95% of the world you are a single entity. We don't get to do diplomacy or trade deals with the Democrats or the good Re…

It is stupid. But the connection is that the Americans do international politics in an abusive way now. There is a very real possibility that their leader will see domestic bad num…

Meanwhile Canada is up 75,000 jobs in July. Can't wait to see the next tantrum America throws our way. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canada-jobs-july-2026-9.729...

If that’s how you feel, make sure you share that feedback with the deciders!

I haven’t seen one of those classic Herdr/Herdly tech names in a while now.

Pretty much, eh? If I could right now: 1. go sign-up elsewhere 2. Log into GitHub and point Actions to that new host 3. All my actions files immediately worked without question I'd…

To offer a data point (not a tribalist argument): GitHub Actions being down this often is still less expensive than the cost of switching everything somewhere else. Would rather ha…

Poor London. (Ontario.) (Canada.)

Interesting point. The article linked in a sibling comment (about 2025 thefts) suggests that they are being resold. Which makes sense if it's a $2000 product that's so stealable. B…

Thanks! Given this was CBC, my jaw hit the floor when I saw London. I live 20 mins from London, Ontario and 70k thefts in a year would be _insane_. Then I realized it was about Lon…

Is "snatching a phone and running off" a common enough problem in some regions that this is worth having? Or is this a feature chasing after fears of the bogeyman, leading to concr…

Ontario -> DFW a bunch, San Diego, Bay Area, NYC, Boston, Buffalo, Nashville, Orlando, Atlanta, Numerous rural nowheres in Wisconsin (it's a long story), DC. Just what comes to the…

I used to travel to the U.S. every year or two for this or that and I always left thinking about just how stressed out I'd be if I had to live there. There's a sense of having to h…

Didn't Americans kill something like 150 Iranian school girls and basically nothing came of it?

“true hackers” Yikes. I’m not sure a rebuttal is even needed for a comment that’s just so lost in its own limited view of things.

This all makes sense on paper and yet in Canada I’ve seen bus drivers cut people breaks and the system didn’t collapse.

I’d be unsurprised if an interviewer who thinks that trivia isn’t a goofy waste of time also believes that young people don’t have real world skills. But a good interviewer would p…

The "environment" can handle basically anything given the right conditions and timescale. It's very much 'the dose makes the poison' here, too (eg. how stormwater ponds help protec…

Take it outside the environment.

The absolutely massive scale and influence of the Web happened after the dot com burst.

You can’t threaten me with two good times. Long term that would help correct the overemphasis on the U.S. economy and AI.

Speaking of benchmarks has anyone given AIs Where’s Waldo pages and asked it to find Waldo? I’ve been trying it on them all and can’t find one that does it consistently. The best w…
