> It is a smart strategy on their part. No, it's a high risk gamble. If the market grows enough they will win the bet, but if the market doesn't or we get a recession that dries up capital they will be holding the bag.

No. Cannabis is a multi purpose drug, cocaine is party drug and/or a "I haven't slept, don't want the 8 hour+ commitment of speed, but need to stay awake" drug. The overlap of pot users and cocaine users is rather s

I have an X1 Carbon 2023. It's pretty solid, the only complaint I have is once the CPU usage is over 10% the fan starts running full blast.

That's honestly a good thing. Computers aren't really getting faster for end users doing mundane tasks the past couple of years. Will help reduce E-Waste, and to the end user there won't be a different. A machine from 5 years

because productivity is the important metric, GDP per hours worked measures this, and better demonstrates the quality of life given to citizens. European productivity is beating American productivity. American GDP is heavily warped by money

Adjust GDP per hours worked, you will find Europe has eclipsed the US in terms of productivity. The US has the benefit of the government borrowing insane amounts of money to juice it's economy, by being the world hegemony. That advanta

The big scam is some terminals are configured with 17% forex fees (looking at your shady restaurants in Budapest), really funny when it's paired with tips in an EU country. But this is why Revolut and WISE cards are a god send when tra

The murder bot books are a bit silly from the get go, so the show leaned into the campy vibe to sell the comedic aspect. As someone who loves the book, I think the show is a 10/10 for capturing the feeling. Though if you where expectin

Hydro is just for QC, ON and BC where the electrical companies have "hydro" in their name. Other parts of the country just call it power/electrical. But in NS my grand parents would also call it a "light bill".

Agreed. Steam is also a monopoly but it doesn't abuse it's monopoly. E.g. impose terms like games can't release on other stores for a lower price &c. Nothing stopping a competitor from coming in with a superior game store

Good. I hope provinces extend this to all critical exports, including potash, nickle, uranium and oil. The US deserves to suffer for this trade war. You guys elected this dictator from Temu, you should bleed as much as he's going to ma

I agree she's tainted which makes her a bad choice to be his successor. But people have short memories and I think in 3-4 years the Trudeau stains will have washed off. In that time she'll have a chance to make a name for herself.

Go listen to the statements the PMs made after their all provinces meetings. A lot of it is "back off from our turf". Previous govts had a minister who's only job was managing provincial-federal relations and making sure the

This is the crux of the issue honestly. Trudeau should have had the humility to read the writing on the wall in the fall, and stepped down so we could have a stable government to deal with the incoming US administration and give his party a
