Tell me how that works for BC, who’s a net positive for transfer payments and is the source of the Columbia River whose water system travels through three states after leaving BC?

I have to say… Roberts and Chickite come out of this looking like the people with their heads on straight.

I’d rephrase that:

“By casting your ballot for Kamala Harris, you are voting AGAINST Vladimir Putin.”

That means the British Indian Ocean Territory will cease to exist, along with the .io domain and countless websites.

What will happen is that the International Standard for Organization (ISO) will remove the country code “IO.” IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) which creates and assigns top-level domains, uses this code to determine which top-level country domains should exist. Once ‘IO’ is removed, IANA will start the process of retiring .io, which involves stopping new registrations and the expiration of existing ‘.io domains.‘

I don’t get this: shouldn’t Mauritius gain ownership of .io? Russia has .su, and it’s been over 30 years since the Soviets existed.

[edit] also, since there’s .whateveryouwant these days, why not just make .io a non-country TLD? That’s how it’s used anyway.

Nobody voting for face-eating leopards expects to have THEIR face eaten.

Go into politics — become part of the problem so you can become part of the solution.

And we all get upset.

What makes you think you can’t do anything about it?

Move to a different country?

This is different from the most distinctively Canadian animals… which is why the Virginia Opossum is in the list, along with other animals that are common to other places, but evolutionarily isolated within Canada.

“Please stop attacking the people who harmed innocent Lebanese people on Lebanese soil without the notification of your government, and who are still lobbing missiles over your border.”

So… cleanup costs match the cash confiscated.

All this, and only a single person was arrested.

And it’s the largest operation busted — there’s probably numerous others across Canada that haven’t been discovered yet.

Discontent fuelled by narratives in the east and south.

BC Conservatives got elected partly because they share part of their name with a different political group.

I bet many of the people who voted for them would be shocked to learn that a large number of the party members used to call themselves BC Liberals.

Or, it could lower the number of frequent flyers.

My mind keeps coming up with tag lines for X….

X:

… where the fruits of piracy can be found

… - rated best for quirky images

… where you’ll find that special someone you realized you DON’T want to spend the rest of your life with.

Anyone got more?

Until the public short message service no longer exists?

This could happen in a number of ways.

While I doubt that the opposition nor the powers that want them in charge are above reproach here, the arguments as to why what they’re saying is false and based on a western agenda don’t stand up to the most basic logic seive either.

It is fully possible for the incumbent to have run a fully corrupt campaign complete with ballot stuffing and intimidation/misinformation AND for the observers to not be objective either. One doesn’t cancel out the other.

The big question is: were the elections provably legitimate and above reproach, and will the majority of Georgians respect the results?

In the rare cases where mayo is the correct answer… it’s not that difficult to just whip up a small amount and use it. No need to have a big jar of it going rancid in your fridge.

I feel your pain. I have maintainer roles for a few projects where things could be slowed down by a week or more if I didn’t have direct commit access. And I do use that access to make things run faster and smoother, and am able to step in and just get something fixed up and committed while everyone else is asleep. But. For security critical code paths, I’ve come to realize that much like Debian, sometimes slow and secure IS better, even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment (like when you’re trying to commit and deploy a critical security patch already being exploited in the wild, and NOBODY is around to do the review, or there’s something upstream that needs to be fixed before your job can go out).

I did that years ago; makes no difference.
