Not everything needs to be made here, we can focus on what we’re good at and purchase cars from China who makes good cars

Yeah that’s it. It became G8 when Russia joined, and G7 when Russia was expelled.

Given their answer to “was the article AI generated?” was “the article is about…” we can safely assume it’s slop.

Here in Canada in the 00s I remember it being a really bad slur. I haven’t really heard it used at all since then though

I can’t figure out how the devs dropped the ball so hard with Evolve or that more recent L4D clone that also sucked.

“not cheap” is an understatement, that’s abysmal

The obvious solution is a government age verification service. Platform age verification is just more data collection, I highly doubt it will even keep kids off social media.

This is their usual marketing scheme - “it’s too powerful to release!”

If I had to guess, it’s because Cuba had tourism.

Didn’t Elon merge xAI into SpaceX?

For the exact same reason a pipeline will never be built… O&G is on the decline so these 5-10 year projects simply won’t make enough money to justify it.

L4D2 - it upset me that the disc just had an install of Steam and I would have to download it.

I really miss when buying PC games was fun.

In addition to the official ceremonial duties, they also do a lot of philanthropy, advocacy, and act as a sort of ambassador.

I suspect it’s more of an implementation complexity than a true legal issue with geography, but I’m open to anything that gets us closer EU ties.

I gave Carney a wide net because I knew he was conservative but still the “right guy for the job” right now. But privatization is crossing the line… Cuts can be uncut, taxes can be restored, but we’re permanently fucked when we privatize.

Because this is about the defense of an ally and Europe, not an expense meant to enrich our country. Don’t forget we have a massive Ukrainian diaspora, so this does help those Canadians pretty directly.

Age verification would be fine if it was an OAuth type thing - I sign in with the government on the government’s website, they report back that I have the 18+ grant. I don’t know why they’re going in this direction of just requiring that private companies collect a bunch of personal information to “verify” me

That’s apocryphal actually, according to wikipedia:

The origin of “guinea” in “guinea pig” is unclear. One proposed explanation is that the animals were brought to Europe by way of Guinea, leading people to think they had originated there.[1] “Guinea” was also frequently used in English to refer generally to any far-off, unknown country, so the name may be a colorful reference to the animal’s exotic origins.[27][28]

Another hypothesis suggests the “guinea” in the name is a corruption of “Guiana”, an area in South America.[27][29] A common misconception is that they were so named because they were sold for the price of a guinea coin. This hypothesis is untenable because the guinea was first struck in England in 1663, and William Harvey used the term “Ginny-pig” as early as 1653.[30] Others believe “guinea” may be an alteration of the word coney (rabbit); guinea pigs were referred to as “pig coneys” in Edward Topsell’s 1607 treatise on quadrupeds.[1]

They also just have lots of strange names in different languages

no and you shouldn’t

Colonialism, “$” is a derivative of the shorthand for peso which was the name for the Spanish dollar. So all the locals were calling their money a dollar before the actual “dollar” currencies became a thing.
