That’s some 3d chess

Oh neat, it’s a global thing

That’s been modus operandi since ICE formation in 2003. It’s certainly cranked up with the current administration, but it’s not even the first surge push. Obama, for example, punted somewhere around 2.4 million.

Even before that, Ellis Island is a pretty famous detention centre, which itself was predated by Castle Clinton.

The chance was always non-zero. It’s much higher than usual now.

Remeber these lines for foreign government detention: I wish to speak to the Canaidan embassy & I wish to be released to Canaidan custody. Some nations won’t begin the process until you ask.

I get it, it was part of the fun for me.

But now I’ve got about 60 minutes per day to myself where I am not working or keeping a toddler from killing themselves. I’m using that time to play video games; not hoping I can stumble upon my delicious niche of death/power/trash metal that I’ll listen to for 10-15 hours a week

I like Spotify for music discovery (I don’t have the time to discover music on my own). $42 CAD per year for premium is worth it for me.

I’m already running an ARR stack, so there would only be about 10 minutes of effort if I ever change my mind and add Lidarr.

I’ve got family that lives on an island. They’ve been holding onto twitter as the only way to get ferry updates.

I only recently found out, so have been switching the family (and slowly other islanders) to Nitter to follow that single account.

I *arr everything, but still keep my Gem subscription.

Baroness Von Sketch Show got me through covid.

You’re a total Gem.

Pre-approved plans massively lower overhead costs and allow small scale developers, and owner financed projects, to get into the market.

I would love to turn my SFH into a plex, and I could probably finance it myself with pre-approved plans and no zoning stickiness. Considering we’ve gotten two sets of parents probably moving into the requiring care phase in the next decade, I’d love to crack on with this instead of needing to move to something already built and larger which would probably massively increase our transit budget.

It’s Sudbury (Ontario, Canada). The masks on the cops are a clue it’s at least 2020.

So no, smoking weed in public would not be illegal at the time.

I mean, class president is the closest thing to a job he’s ever had, so…

The higher numbers I had in my head were probably related to specific products/industries

The cost of living polycrisis is estimated to be 45-70% caused by oil energy prices; yet very few provinces, and certainly not the feds, will do anything about oil dependency.

I’m all for extracting oil, since we’re still a resource economy, but don’t get high on your own supply!

I had a neighbour in Montréal who would drive to the same gym as me (700m away), and then walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes to warm up.

Tech bros preserving for an increase in parasitic activites that are not proven to grow local wealth (and likely extract it) while simultaneously eroding worker’s rights.

Fuck right off.

Somewhere shy of a hundred back in the 00’s when I was an electrician apprentice. Part of the reason I didn’t stay in the trades was all the bullshit I saw. My boss was always on code and he always kept us on code, but that wasn’t the case for all the other trades running around.

I personally never saw a FOB worker cutting code, but that’s probably because the inspector was racist as fuck who would double check out work and hand wave all the white guys.

I fell into the FOB category at the time, but marginaply. I’m an immigrant flavour that’s considered white now.

That’s a case of someone not following code, has nothing to do with immigration status.
