Pretty sure that’s a plain.

If I was Winnie the Pooh, I’d pay Owl to go under deep cover for years to get control over the switches, or Kanga to make sure the Switch Master is indisposed when a military assault begins, or Eeyore to physically disable the switches before the attack. Winnie the Pooh has lots of options.

tsmc has already said they’ve installed kill switches on these.

They’d be the first target if/when open hostilities break out. c/ncd loves to shit on the PLA, but I bet this is something they’d try to get right.

I wish we could deescalate this conflict because it benefits NOBODY.

/uj

• China benefits because they have an enemy that plays well to a domestic audience
• China would benefit if it could get TSMC’s foundries undamaged;
• US benefits because Taiwan wants a big buddy to keep it safe, so they’re forced into a de facto alliance
• US benefits because it has somewhere to park warships off China’s shores

/rj MIC goes brrrrrrrrrr

Leave. Go for a walk, or a coffee, or go home. Nobody knows you aren’t in a meeting room.

If your co-workers are into it, have a LAN party. I used to work at a place that had a daily management-approved kill session. It was good.

Totally agree. I am not compatible with summer.

Winter! Winter sports are awesome. Snow is beautiful. Long dark nights are cozy.

Huh. It sounds like TV had it right this time. I assumed smelling salts were a convenient plot device, rather than an actual thing.

just tabaxi things

I have no idea if I’ll ever use this, but it sounds like a great feature.

Never having voted Conservative, I can’t get any real satisfaction from saying “that’s so stupid I’m never voting for them again.”

I guess I can say “That’s so stupid I’m still never voting for them.” But it isn’t the same.

I think there are much better social media platforms for sharing clips. From what I’ve seen, most of Twitter is people angrily typing opinions at each other, so your target demographic may not be there. The UI is designed for text rather than video, and responses/reactions don’t integrate nicely with videos.

Sharing game clips on video-oriented social media makes a tonne sense, however.

Let me guess, the downside is infinite teeth.

This looks similar to the Hobson bike seat I’ve been using for the last couple of decades. I recommend the Hobson - it’s very comfortable. Maybe this one will be great too.

I started programming as a teen. I didn’t realize I could do that as a job (weird, I know), so I looked into lucrative careers I could do so I could afford to have lots of free time to program. Then I discovered that programming was also a job.

eh. It feels like a good time to start talking about why they want that tax break. It’s because GPs run a business that sells services to each province.

Historically, that’s because docs didn’t trust the whole Tommy Douglas single payer thing. They wanted to stay their own bosses. But the current generation of GPs wants a decent work/life balance, which doesn’t work so well financially. So maybe it’s time to offer GPs the chance to be employees.

Of course, that’s a province-by-province thing, and it’s not our politicians’ style to actually fix shit.

So we’ll get that tax break.

I think the big issue is that doctors are complaining about it. Everyone likes doctors, so tAkINg MoNeY oUt Of ThEiR pOcKeTs in the middle of a healthcare crisis looks bad.

one in 1,000 individual tax filers will be affected by the change, and the average income of those tax filers is $1.4 million.

They’ll survive.

Must be nice feeling good about not actually solving any problems.

Talking often helps people understand their feelings. Validation from others helps people feel that their problems are legitimate, solvable, and worth addressing.

Talking may not immediately solve the underlying issue, but it’s a step on the way.
