How right winded is canada?
  • Do you mean this - "... Chatham Asset Management LLC is an American hedge fund..."?

  • JD Vance Doubles Down on Attack on 'Childless Cat Ladies'.
  • I see he's working overtime to convince Daddy not to drop him.

  • How right winded is canada?
  • Look at the recent poll that tested Canadian opinions of Trump. Nearly half of conservatives had a positive opinion and thought he'd be good for Canada. This puts the number at 15-20% of Canadians.

  • How right winded is canada?
  • Except the criticism is quite different from the different sides. For example simple bigotry vs arguments about the abuse of the TFW program.

  • Chicken wings advertised as 'boneless' can have bones, Ohio Supreme Court decides
  • I've always assumed boneless chicken wings are some sort of a scam. Then ordered once and discovered they're not wings at all but pieces of chicken breast. Or a scam, since a breast taste differently than a wing. Do they actually remove the bones from wings somewhere?

    E: Just read some speculation, she's expected to be to the left of Joe but not by much on Israel.

  • Yet we produce more than ever per hour. So by that account either prices should decrease over time to reflect that, or our wages should be going up. :D

  • Absolutely can be and in those cases you're getting the same thing good or bad or anywhere inbetween. Dropshippers, including the rebranding dropshippers (like Volta cables) are pure exploitation. They do very little "service" for the money they take.

  • OS recommendations
  • Definitely use ZFS for the data volumes in order to avoid silent data corruption. If you don't use separate drive for the OS, then you need to look into ZFS on root.

  • OS recommendations
  • I'd suggest lvmraid which is just mdraid wrapped in LVM. It's a tad simpler to setup and you get the flexibility of LVM, plus the ability to convert from linear to mirror and back as needed. That is you could do a standard install on LVM, then add another disk to LVM and convert the volumes to RAID1. It's all documented under man lvmraid.

  • It doesn't solve any of this. The people who invented BTC did not understand whay money is and how it works. Especially how it's created. If we lived in a world with BTC alone and we've reached the point where no more BTC can be created while the world economy was growing, we'd keep creating money by reducing prices and using smaller fractions of BTC to pay them. Of course all of this would be much less practical than adding more units of BTC so if the world lived in this universe, a consensus would be reached to amend BTC to allow for further expansion of the BTC supply. And this doesn't even touch the ability to create money via debt which doesn't even require a currency.

    BTW I'm not saying crypto is useless. I think BTC for example will be with us for the foreseeable future but it would likely always be used as an intermediate currency that is then converted to one fiat or another through a floating exchange rate. The exchange rate would take care of the inherent problem I described.

  • Sometimes it is, other times it isn't. You won't know until you test your blood heavy metal levels. If you're touching it or if it touches what you're eating, it may not be worth finding out. And no I'm not comparing noname sponges from Amazon. I'm comparing noname sponges from a local retailer or brand name stuff like 3M ScotchBrite, etc.

  • ‘Unacceptable Levels’ of Hazardous Substances in Temu Products, UK investigation finds
  • Your phrasing is technically correct but it omits that perhaps the scale of the problem is different among different marketplaces. Perhaps this is evident in the predominant selection of items and their prices. Thus you're trying to make it sound that you're gonna get the same amount of poison when you buy a jacket on Amazon and Temu, when you have a pretty good chance to buy a western brand on Amazon and you have zero chance to do that on Temu.

    Grab your contact cleaner and clean their SATA connectors!

    I just bought a new 1TB Crucial MX500 made in god knows what year and installed it in a virgin SATA port of a M710q made in 2016 and I got the vomit you see above every time I loaded the drive. Reseated all the connectors. More vomit. Scratched my head a couple of times reaching for the trash bin and I had a brainwave that there might be oxidation from sitting naked with the elements. Took out the DeoxIt Gold, dabbed all the connectors on the SATA path, cycled them a few times, powered on and loaded the drive. No more vomit.
