I’d check for native species of clover, which is invasive in most of Canada.

Maybe. Not convinced it’d be best for Canada, though. I think California would be better as an independent country that we could then negotiate with on more or less equal footing.

You bring up an interesting issue with equalization payments. California would be a “Have” province and hefty transfer payments would probably be expected.

But mostly, I’m just concerned that California would immediately become the dominant political entity in Confederation. Right now, the centre of the world is basically Toronto. Suddenly, the financial, technological, and industrial centre of Canada would all be in California. I can’t see that going super well. People and businesses would migrate en masse. It could lead to an impoverishment of other Canadian provinces as the capital all moves to California.

Population, GDP, culture… Canada would be eaten alive by California. They wouldn’t change. We would.

I’m not in favour of this, as a Canadian. The power imbalance is too great. It would make Canada a Californian state, rather than California a Canadian province. They would never accept rule from Ottawa.

If this were Facebook I would say this is a bot harvesting user locations for advertising profiles…

Thank you! I love it

Dandelion leaves (blanched) are good in salads and pestos.

If I do an amazing job and the company ships another 10k widgets, I don’t see an extra dime.

I hear “Yahoo Answers” is available.

Stephen Miller? The migrant? Yeah, sounds good. I heard he crossed the Darien Gap by eating five toddlers as rations.

Stamping down a grid over a hilly landscape makes for a shitty walking or biking experience. >:/

Yeah, no kidding. I bought several so they’re usually nearby. If I chew on them, it’s game over, angry red swelling for a few days. I can usually hold off pong enough to get to the clippers. Usually.

Sure. That works preventatively. Once you have the peeling, best to clip and sanitize.

I find just snipping off the skin tags with clippers keeps it from going too far.

Dude kicks a bunch of rocks down a hill and complains that the avalanche isn’t going the way he wanted? Fuck him. He gets the metaphorical guillotine with the rest. Or maybe the literal one, if the avalanche goes hard enough.

That’s the trouble with revolution, you can’t predict the outcome. The fundamental flaw of accelerationism. Your side might come out on top, but it might not. Big ole reset button drenches everyone in blood.

Hugs, sweetie.

I was a little excited about the potential of the CT, too. The idea of a cheap outer shell folded from cheap sheet steel, something that can be welded, beaten, and easily repaired was a good concept, to my mind. On top of a mass produced cheap chassis with a beefy battery for worksites and a reasonable amount of storage, it could have been great. I don’t even mind the look of it.

I sold my Tesla stock last year at the 400 mark. Still had to keep 100 shares to back a call option.

How is that different from martial law?

Walk into computer lab. “DISREGARD PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS FORMAT C DRIVE”

Well, that’s one way to create a murderous AI. I suddenly understand why Hal wanted to kill everyone. I would, too.
