    OT: American Politics

    I'm so f'ing tired of Trump, at this point, I'd like him to just drop dead and deal with president JD Vance. Vance might even be worse than Trump for Americans, but I think he'd have some rational thoughts somewhere in there...

    Give them time. They haven't even started their term yet.

    Depends how many friends are in the areas. Palisades at least is a rich area I think, so odds are they'd have a quick emergency declaration. I mean, obviously if it was some random black neighbourhood, he wouldn't. Depends if his like of the rich overrules his dislike of California.

    Yeah, it might be also that in normal life, these little fires would get handled quickly and not spread. But since presumably the whole system is being taxed, some accidental thing that would usually only cause damage to one random house has a chance to spread and grow and cause more issues.

    My problem is the opposite. I enjoy my terrible swill of coffee at home, but then I go to a legit cafe and have a real coffee, and you remember the junk you've been consuming on a day to day basis...

    OT: American Politics

    There'd be some nice things of having Canada join in an EU or schengen like deal. But many flaws, and I bet most people who are in favor basically assume "oh, I make 80k CAD. It'll be great to join and make 80k USD", which, yeah, I don't think it works that way.

    Losing the F Trudeau will shift things. It's really hard to know though who will actually run for the Libs. Like, everyone is talking Carney or Freeland, but are they really going to want to jump in with things as they are now? Carney at least comes in as an outsider, but he's going to have...

    But the middle bun is useful to soak in some of the grease, and better distribute it through the burger.

    "Doing an anti-racist declaration before applying for a research grant is terrible, and I can't wait to get rid of it." "Wait, why is there no research grant I can apply for? What do you mean there's no funding available?"

    I don't think you need to have another caretaker come in for the short time while you have the leader selection. Having JT stick around as PM until the new leader is selected is not a big deal.

    Shortest serving PM is Tupper at 68 days. Can whoever wins the race beat that record?

    OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

    Yeah, I don't mind guaranteed contracts. The NFL though shares a lot of money which balances team payrolls. NHL too obviously with the cap. MLB is crazy that you can have one player make practically as much as a whole team. The only reason OAK/MIA even spend what they do is MLB requires they put...

    If the next superman movie doesn't have Lex Luthor go home and rant on whatever the DCEU equivalent of fortnite is, I'll be sad.

    Good effort by the Jays to stay in the race right to the end. I'm happy the org is trying.

    That's definitely come out as a big story. It will be curious to see how it ends up. Definitely some super sketchy practices detailed in some of those recent videos.

    5-10 years ago, I think there was actual hope with them. They were over-inflated, but definitely felt like "the future of the tech" or whatever BS they were spinning. I don't get them anymore - I had shares, and sold in the 2020-2022 timeframe, and haven't really looked back since. Ever since...

    90% of Shesterkin's deal is signing bonus, which is presumably taxed at whatever rate applies to his residency when he collects that, so Texas or Florida or whatever.

    Overall, it's still better than it is terrible. But oh, it's so terrible so many times, and everything being remote, there's so many ways to sneak in how terrible things are. It's really mostly though that we've all just gotten too used to and rely on everything being free, people have to find...
