It’s not if you aren’t a server, I was making a direct comparison between the minimum wage for servers and the minimum wage for non-servers.

There are many exemptions from the federal minimum wage in Canada, the ones I raised are just 2 of them. Temporary foreign workers and agricultural workers are also exempt, for example.

You could always look it up if you want to know more, it’s public information.

There is a “server wage” that is less than the minimum wage if you are not a server. Similar to the “youth wage” that is less than the minimum wage for an adult doing the same job.

I had a discussion about BDS with a friend’s husband around that time, and he basically said that he didn’t think it was fair to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel because the people didn’t deserve to be scapegoated and economically harmed for the choices of their government.

I was completely in awe of how confidently he spoke when he didn’t even know the basics of Israel’s colonial/genocidal history or what BDS was. He didn’t even know what an ethnostate was or that it’s morally fucked up to want one. I don’t talk to him anymore, because wow. Reminded me a lot of people who are anti-BLM because they don’t like loud black people.

That’s how you catch a charge in Canada. You only have the right to self-defense if you are being actively assaulted (legally speaking, being violently threatened or harmed). Further, the force used must basically be equal to the threat, and while interpreting that can be complex, it’s completely reasonable.

That’s the neat part: we don’t! A majority of our weapons and tech come from the US and their producers will gladly give the American government all of our data and/or remotely disable our systems if asked.

There’s no political will to divest from American tech and manufacturing despite significant national interest. Even the dumbest Albertan secessionist would agree that blindly trusting a foreign corporation is not the best idea, but here we are, with F-35s we don’t actually own and using a custom instance of Microsoft 365 called Defence 365. 🤦‍♀️

I decided to reinstall Cult of the Lamb since the new expansion was announced. There’s a lot of stuff in that game that I straight up forgot existed lol.

Bari is a piece of shit lol, she just can’t stop herself.

The commission concluded the base salary of most federal judges should rise from $396,700 to $424,700, with the salaries of most chief justices rising from $435,000 to $465,700.

At the Supreme Court, the chief justice’s salary would increase from $510,000 to $546,000, while the eight other justices would get a $33,000 boost for an annual salary of $505,700.

The numbers, by the way. The government said no because this level of spending (there are 1200 federal judges) is ridiculous right now. They also get a pension that has an annual compensation average of about $100k.

I’m no fan of the public sector unions (especially PSAC), but bailing corporations out only for them to cost the economy millions of dollars per day due to necessary job action ain’t it, either. A lot of these employers have let their collective agreements expire, sometimes years ago, because they know they can get the government to force their employees back to work.

If they’re that important to the economy and they’ve proven they can’t handle the intricacies of doing business without a government handout to keep them profitable (check and check), they should be nationalized. Pie in the sky for a second: maybe the revenue from a nationalized Air Canada would mean lower federal taxes or something.

If we don’t try, this will just happen again.

I don’t know, I’m not on the Debian team. This is probably a question for them. I think the mailing list is public if you wanted to ask someone.

Also TIS-100, the one no one talks about since Shenzhen I/O came out. :(

I’m aware of his history. I don’t need to pretend he’s part of an organization that doesn’t exist anymore, I’m fully capable of realizing he’s full of shit in his present form.

How does that affect what I said? Why does that matter at all? He’s now a member of the federal Conservatives and has been for years since the merger. His fellow Conservatives have told him to tone it down and he’s made a whole song and dance of not listening. When he was a teenager he did the same shit with the Reform party — part of the reason why the merger even happened is due to his lobbying.

There’s a party leadership review in January that I don’t think he’ll make it through because I like to believe in reasoning and logic. But we’ll see! Dumber shit has happened to the Conservatives than him keeping his leadership position in the face of absolute incompetence; Danielle Smith proves that.

I have no idea, but I don’t think the team would add a bunch of useless crap into the release notes for no reason. Doesn’t sound very Debian to me.

Here’s the link to the relevant section of the release notes, for your reference. It’s short.

Nope, he won’t. I’ve been saying this for a decade now. Homes, businesses, and roads will flood. Flooding will be Canada’s main infrastructure problem for the next few decades as climate change gets exponentially worse.

Civil engineers have been sounding the alarm for longer than I’ve known the problem existed, and nothing is ever done. I am calling it now: nothing will be done until a major government building in Ottawa has to close for a year (or more) for remediation, costing millions.

He is literally incapable of doing that. His entire political life since the age of 16 has been smug opposition and insults to Liberals (and fellow Conservatives who tell him to play ball).

He’d rather work with Trump. He’d rather sell out everyone and everything, including himself. He is completely self-absorbed and can barely make it through a sentence without lying or promising to do something stupid.

Why not just get a bigger case and upgrade the prebuilt over time? A PC is inherently modular, you can replace what you’ve already got pretty easily, piece by piece. Unless you think all of the components are trash and you want to completely start over, of course.

Even still, an upgraded GPU or CPU will make an immediate impact even on shitty hardware.

That’s why you’re supposed to remove 3rd party repos before you update, but nobody reads the release notes anymore, I guess.

During the transition to full resumption of service, the airline expected that some flights would still be cancelled. Rousseau said the airline would offer options to customers in such a scenario, including a full refund, a credit for future travel and, if space allowed, rebooking on other airlines.

Don’t they legally have to book customers on the next immediately available flight, even with other airlines, even if it costs more? Unless, of course, a customer takes a refund or other remedy… Which is exactly why he said this. They are still scum. But I’m happy the union got them to cave.
