I gotta give Justin Trudeau some credit today, the YouTuber Phil DeFranco talked about Canadian politics in his stream today.
While I'm not a usual viewer of his content, I'll bet Canadian politics doesn't come up very often.2019-02-08T21:31:39Z via datamost.com Web To: Public CC: Followers

Trump's burn on Canada's PM Trudeau (they are in a spat because of Trump clasifying Canada as a security-risk, in a trade dispute."Didn't you guys burn down the White House?"As a Canadian, I find this pretty funny - on a number of levels...clacke@libranet.de ❌, B. Ross Ashley likes this.
That was actually British troops under General Robert Ross ... but they did do it in retaliation for the burning of York, now Toronto, which was even then the capital of Upper Canada.

In Canada lighters have come with child-safety protection for a while now... in Europe, they add wheels to the bottom to make them more toy like...
Note: the front wheels are missings from this one... some child must have been playing too roughly with it ;)Looks like a toy, and advertises beer, setting things on fire and smoking. What kind of evil mind designed this? xDD

After attending the last three LibrePlanet conferences, I'm not going this year - and probably never again :(
FSF has decided to make LP a "Safe Space" (I believe they simply renamed their Anti-Harassment Policy, the contents of which I have NO problems with). While "Safe Spaces" are hip with the leftist crowd right now, I think these anti-science, anti-free-speech, anti-white male policies are cancer.
I will not financially support an organization that implements these types of policies, thus I will be letting my FSF membership lapse.
Safe Space = not safe for science/factsShow all 6 replies@clake in "this case" it is only an issue of wording, in other "safe space" cases - it is more. BUT, the FSF of all groups, should know the importance of words - and the power they can hold.So, I watched John's opening, and the beginning of Deb's talk (I liked the cyberpunk reference)... then the IRC channel's topic was changed to put Safe Space front and center. I closed IRC and stopped watching the stream.
@George Standish I'm sorry to hear you won't be attending again. I'm not sure I understand this issue fully, but I do hope you take your concerns up with the FSF before lapsing your membership.
@stumbles I totally understand why FSF is selecting this to adopt the "safe space" title - it's what is expect at "leftist" conferences, I get it... I completely disagree, but I understand why they have this as policy. I believe this is just a part, of my disillusionment with leftist ideas and ideals currently. I think freedom of speech is essential for free societies, and that view has become heresy amoungst my former "peoples" - like here on pump.io ;)recaptcha

Ottawa's Bluesfest released the line-up for this year http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/bluesfest-2018-headliners-lineup-1.4532081?cmp=rss a lot more names that I recognize this year. So long as they don't perform either the first or last night, I'll probably take the night Rise Against performs off.McClane likes this.

Infrared camera was very neat to see in person. Turns out it's not new, 2016.
It might also make phone calls?McClane likes this.

It certainly doesn't look like the typical plain rectangle that, you know, 99,99% of phones nowadays are xD
With that branding, I would expect it to be one of those you can sit on, step on and drop on the street without it affecting the functionality?
Or at least claim to be.2018-01-26T17:51:41Z via datamost.com Web To: Public CC: Followers

So you can swim upstream or downstream =)
OTOH I am picturing a person swimming on the interface between water and air, but upside down, so that they are trying to paddle and kick in the air for propulsion ... and not going anywhere very fast. LOL.

Alzheimer's is a cruel disease!
Really, really cruel :\
just to be clear, i wasn't diagnosed with alzheimer's - it was my father getting the bad news. i've just spent the last two months "looking after him", although he's still capable of doing lots of things! from a PHD in bio-chemistry to having difficulties remember what city he's currently in. so so tragic.
