What venue did the VPD use? Rogers Arena? When Surrey weren't able to provide a cost for their change of command ceremony that should result in another story to hold them accountable.

I guess the UK government thought Mandelson would get along better with the US pedophile president, since they shared the same sketchy friend and vacation spot.

Having the media doing advanced yoga to find positions to normalize what this lunatic asylum of a White House regime is doing is a complete disgrace to what is supposed to be a pillar of a functional democracy.

It shouldn't be a big shock when most of your government is old people who need help with their emails, they have trouble regulating emergent technologies until it's too late. After laser pointers, drones, and social media we get to see how well regulated AI is.

RFK Jr is the Prince of Pestilence.

Is that because he's cooked?

In the sleepy town I grew up in, some guy got on the wrong side of some bad people and a hitman came after him. He gave his dog to my dad because he was going on the run. Our new family dog was basically mobbed up. Life can come at you fast and things can get pretty strange.

My dad was always collecting stray animals, but that was just the home they ended up at. They were never referred to as rescues because that would be strange. With the benefits of being around animals what they are, who is rescuing who here? theonion.com/heroic-dog-s...

I spent three nights working at SPCA animal shelter in a security role because of a temporary threat against it and being around all those animals is pretty heartbreaking. The rescuing is being done by the shelter workers. Most people adopting animals from there are budget dog shoppers.

I don't doubt it. I ended up in a parent role of a teenager that way, because in remote communities you still have kids dropped off at farms in the hopes they'll be taken care of, without any government involvement, and they often bounce around a while until they find their home.

Unpopular opinion: unless you carried a dog out of a burning building or dove into a surging river to bring a dog to shore it's not a rescue dog. You adopted a dog and let's face it, the dog is probably doing a lot of the work in this relationship.

All this time I thought 'catfishing' meant something else...

The Liberal Party certainly want Pierre Poilievre to stay on as party leader until the only Conservative MPs left on that side of parliament are from the Prairies and North Peace. Poilievre is the defective gift that keeps on giving.

He's not called the Toddler in Chief without reason.

The US Navy ships and NASA ISS have 3D printers but they're not allowed to use them for anything but coffee cups and shelving brackets, because corporations refuse to give them the right to print out parts, even on deployment and even if they're fairly compensated. That's another bad one.

Military Right To Repair Is A National Security Problem YouTube video by Task & Purpose

I've heard about it for a long time and knew it was a serious problem, but didn't know quite how bad until I watched a video by Task & Purpose on the subject. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYsl...

Your government contract should be cancelled and your corporation black listed if you decide to not allow "right of repair" by the US military, but it's all about corporate welfare for vendors. Shipping weapon platforms back half way around the World isn't good logistics.

It's up there with the arms manufacturers denying the military the 'right of repair' even on deployments. It doesn't matter how well trained your ground crews are if they're not allowed to do more than minimal maintenance on the F-35. It causes jets to be unavailable for missions. It's insane.

For the purposes of insider trading, the Hormuz Strait was briefly open, until the markets closed for the weekend.

The Vancouver Canucks jobbed Abbotsford, after their Calder Cup championship, by promoting players before they were ready and dispersing a bunch of other prospects to the wind. The farm team needs some serious work, hopefully without Rutherford finding a way to ruin things further.

Wow. Getting that unhinged online in public office sounds like he's positioning himself to be the next leader of the Republican Party.

There are some hurdles with regional food, when the US focus for recruiting for units is that they be nationally dispersed, to avoid any regionalism that might increase unit cohesion and morale. Having some regional food focus does help when soldiers mostly come from poorer states and ethnicities.

I think the current US military model is that an army marches on the money spent on vendors. Right now, the Navy are in the process of phasing out the twin engine Greyhound logistics plane and replacing them with frequently grounded for safety reasons V-22 Ospreys. That will make things even worse.

Let's be honest. The Toddler in Chief probably thought this was a question about the Theory of Evolution and went into question ducking mode.

The provincial maps always say that "Ontario is very big" and it really is. I just don't know that a premier needs a private jet of their very own, instead of just chartering planes when needed, unless he needs wheels up to go to Coachella.

On the one hand, the way these trucks and SUVs are designed now you're completely isolated from feeling the road the way you did in older vehicles, so it's easy to not realize how fast you're going. On the other hand, you're probably going to notice that you're driving over 200km/h.

You see a couple people laughing the audience while the rest are either wondering WTF is going on or pretending to be pious. I'm personally waiting for him to read from the Book of Boondock Saints...

If people aren't eating a lot of the food you're giving them because it's inedible, the science doesn't matter. Of course the US gov is going to say their stuff is the best, just like they're going to say they have the best everything else. I can't think of anyone else in NATO with worse food.

I coined the term "frequent fragger points" to describe officers collecting them at an accelerated rate. The US Army has a tradition of fragging that continues, but the current conflict in Iran is being carried out by the air force and navy, so you're more likely to see incidents of sabotage.
