Well since it’s a parliamentary system, unless I moved I can’t vote for or against Marit directly. I’ll have to wait to see what winner the party chooses to put in locally. The last time they ran roughshod over the CA bylaw and regulations to have their pick lose 50% of the votes the local candidate who ran previously had and that the party chased away.

We are pretty early so there hasn’t been any local candidates announced. I presume the incumbent conservative will run since it seems he will spend the remainder of his life living off the public dime.

So I will have to see who the local candidates are and use that as the basis.

As far party leadership goes, it is mostly a wash. Dougie is as corrupt as they come. After the Sarah Jama affair, Marit clearly lacks any morals. Bonnie, so far appears to be running a very right of centre neo-liberal agenda. That leaves Mike, who by most accounts is a pretty good guy - however in my riding the Greens typically run candidates who don’t have anything to do with my riding - barely even showing up in the riding during the campaign.

So to reiterate, at this point I don’t know. It would almost entirely depend on who the local candidates are.

I will never vote for the party of the corrupt fucker who ejected Sarah Jama from caucus.

Fuck Marit and her liberalism agenda.

Two things you can try is disabling USB selective suspend. The same section of power options has an option for Turn off hard disks after…

I’ve seen suggestions of a link between ADHD and restless leg syndrome in the past, but that was many years ago. Checking Wikipedia’s RLS page now it states up to 44% of people with ADHD also have RLS.

I did have issues with it as a child, but was able to get it under control in early adulthood. Although around the same period I also started on Strattera and anti-anxiety medications - so maybe that helped sort it out.

I noticed it says placebos to be very effective, maybe you can get some of those OTC 😆

I can’t help but feel this is a bit of a stretch.

So in England and Australia, does “Labour” mean fascist?

Holy crap, I thought I was the only one.

This is great news for anxious mice everywhere… which I assume is most all mice.

Man I hate Google these days, but this is great!

This right here.

Don’t really care one way another about the appearance, but I’d definitely give them a go if they dropped Android as their OS.

Good on these carriers, and good on CUPW for vigorously representing their members.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but god damn I hate all the massive strollers. It’s like the strategies of the North American auto companies and their massive trucks has spread to strollers. These stroller wagons are truly the Hummers of this phenomenon.

Yeah, Doom 63 was impossibly difficult.

I had ChatGPT make a press release for them to help make the streets of Norfolk County safer:

Complete and utter garbage. The police in Canada are truly a place where the corrupt and incompetent go to prosper. I live a hop skip and a jump from where this incident occurred.

Shit I’ve been through where charges weren’t brought. A person in Barrie (while I was stopped there to charge the car) pulled a knife on me and said he cut me. A person in the town here via SMS said they would fuck me up. As a child, the father of the kid who stole my brother’s backpack threw a rock the size of a golf ball at me and hit me in the leg (the cop who investigated I learned was a friend of the child abuser and played in the same hockey league with him).

Please tell me someone is organizing a protest of some sort at this OPP office. Maybe we can organize a water toy amnesty program at this office.

I think this reply may be a part of the problem with this debate. It assumes that the participants in the program are agricultural workers. This is traditionally true, but under the current program agriculture workers only represent 60%.

An estimated 15% work in food service, with another 10% in the broader hospitality sector. 5-10% work in construction.

UniFi on the UDM is a little archaic with how it uses its default VLAN. I really hope they get to improving this soon.

Zachariah’s link to lazyadmin.nl is a good resource.

Note that IP addresses and subnets are not the same thing, and I think your original post conflates them somewhat.

This right here. There is an appetite for a real party with actual progressive policies. But I guess we’ll have to go with Liberal light.
