This Molson Canadian beer ad (global fridge) has a very strong politicial statement to any politician who whishe to divide us and insist only certain types are truly Canadian. It may predate today's "populism" era, but is more powerful today than it was when it aired over 10 years ago.

@npub1lks…a4mq I you have code that runs in kernel mode (the CPU mode) and there is a fault (invalid op code, memory access, divide by 0 etc), then the whole system crashes because there is no fault handler to just crash a process.

@npub1lks…a4mq If it runs in kernel mode it can still crash the system. The issue here is code that is fed incorrect data and does not validate it and crashes.

@npub1437…ranm Yes, it shows how fake politicians are because in real life they hold certain values, but in public life, they show the "reality TV" values dictated by the show runner and push those fake values onto real people.

From CBC article explains the long list of candidates in yesterday's bi-election (is it is an LGBTQ-election now?)
The unusually long list of candidates on the ballot can be attributed to a group of electoral reform advocates called the Longest Ballot Committee.
According to the spokesperson for the group — the Rhinocéros Party president who goes by the name Sébastien CoRhino — the Longest Ballot Committee helped 77 candidates get onto the ballot, including CoRhino.

Heads Up: CDPQ expected to make public this week its recommendation on Quebec City public transit. Big question on whether it will be public transit or a politically influenced recommendation to build a car tunnel between Québec et Lévis. The Legault governments current trend is to be disinterested in public transit.

@npub1lf4…kcjr A question for you: early on in the war, we saw images of people using subway stations for refuge and living there, even living in trains. Is the system still functional with all stations open, or are there sections that are designared for refufe and no longer served by trains and usable for transit?

@npub1lf4…kcjr There are a number of options of rail travel. There is a more recent Warsaw Lviv service (with change of train near border in Ukraine). and aslo trains from Lviv to Przemysl. The change of gauge between Standard gauge in Europe and russian gauge in Ukraine prevents through services. But i was thinking the border may be easier because your on a scheduled train instead of waiting in a long queue at road border.

In the past, how have prisonner exchanges been done? trucked/bused to a neutral point within Ukraine? Or flown in to Kyiv for Ukrainians and some Russian airport for the Russian POWs ?
Curious to know if this particular flight was just moving POWs around, or whether they were being flown in preparation for an exchange.

Moreover, one of MacKenzie’s associates, Derek Harrison, had made a video in which he reportedly expressed his desire to turn the Freedom Convoy protest into “our own January 6th” event, alluding to the storming of the US Capitol.

@npub1lf4…kcjr We all know from watching movies that cars automaticaly explode whenever they hit something. So not unexpected to see reports of "explosion" . Bigger question is whether the car was already on fire before stopping against a structure or if fire caught afterwards.
Looking at the site, there is one spot where an out of control canada-bound car could switch to oncoming traffic lanes. Beyond this point, jersey barriers would prevent this.

@npub1qzc…yetl @npub1jzw…8apd Don't forget the steel industry which is in politically sensitive states. Protecting personal cars that rely on so much steel keeps the steel industry alive. Moving to public transit is far more efficient and requires far less steel per passenger carried. Countries that don't have car assembly or steel industry have far easier time moving towards sustainable transit than those that have political dependance on the car and steel industries
