This is the only image that's loaded for me in the past hour

Lockheed Martin Starship

this is fair, girls that do play warhammer love their bugs

Hopefully some of their space division can be chunked off to keep doing work. They've kinda been shitting the bed with starship but the work, and existing launch vehicles, are still valuable.

I wish I could take the reimbursements allocated to crank medicine (chiropracty, naturopaths) in my company benefits package and put it into optometry or dental stuff, I could get a sweet ass pair of glasses with that change instead of it going unused.

How do Tyranids fit in this political dichotomy

But I do think you're right, if things go smoothly and a friendly democrat is in power, there will be a large temptation to declare 2014 back forever and roll back changes.

Ultimately it is dependent on how things go in the US. I don't think we should discount the possibility of post-Trump domestic violence in the US, or them having a legitimacy / election fixing crisis in 2028 that keeps us more on our toes.

Otherwise you are right, if things go well for the US we are ironically likely to see the Liberals weaken in the polls, but something has been fundamentally broken and we're not returning to pre-2024 politics, which will continue to plague PP if he doesn't address it.

That presumes we get a midterm flip and then just have a stalled out Trump inconsequentially (as far as Canada is concerned) flail for two years. Which IS one of the likelier outcomes, but I feel that we are so out in the woods geopolitically that we might end up in a significantly worse situation.

VAAANCE, HEGSETH, THE MARKETS ARE OPEN VAAANCE, PEOPLE ARE TRADING WTI AS WE SPEAK, WHERE ARE THE NEGOTIATIONS!

It's an incredibly weak avenue of attack, because so far the answer to "Okay but like what would you say/do differently such that we would get a better deal?" is 'idk we're just built different, Trump would surely listen to us' which is just fundamentally unconvincing even to sympathetic voters.

In some ways I actually kinda feel bad for the tories. A large portion of their base have utterly fried their craniums on yank culture war slop and demand policy that is utterly unelectable outside of rural alberta and saksatchewan

It seems like he personally prefers, or feels obligated to engage in rhetoric that is both stylistically and substantially toxic to the broad political environment but plays well with the base which has veered in a much more american hard-right direction than Canadian society broadly.

Duane Bratt: Gerrymandering electoral map will erode Alberta democracy Thursday was a bad day for democracy, and possibly setting up an even worse day for democracy.

Genuinely disturbing stuff. With this and separatism Smith seems to be committed to a death or victory approach to her party and the province, we can only hope people decide to give her the former.

This is on top of the fact that the fortifications of Quebec City were the heaviest set of defenses on the North American continent. There were stone forts like Ticonderoga but QC was an entire European-mainland style fortified city, Arnold had minimal hope of taking against determined defenders.

Bringing back classic military bangers like losing the battle before it even starts because sickness ravages your camp

Everyday I think I live in a desolate hellscape I am comforted knowing I live in the same desolate hellscape as Mr Ideas, Folding Esq.

It would also make an incredible open world RPG. You'd have tons of factions to navigate, combat would range from firearms with incredibly rare ammo, repurposed metal tools, indigenous weapons, etc. Tons of unique terrain and biomes.

SAM ALTMAN'S AGI ZAZA GOT ME IN THE METAVERSE SMOKIN STRAIGHT BITCOIN

I do not think we should be telling people to do their own electrical work. Do I trust most mildly handy people could do it easily, yes, I also think people will kill themselves as well.

The charger itself, yeah, but the cost to run the 240v line out to the garage from the panel box is usually much more (even if it ultimately would pay itself off, joe public hates buy once cry once stuff)

Only public fast charging significantly cuts into the actual savings you get over gas. It's fine if you like EVs but I don't think your average driver will tolerate it without the significant cost delta of at home charging, but maybe I'm just pessimistic about how people relate to driving and cars.

I walk out of an office supply store, I'm wearing the whole 15-count value pack of lanyards, CEOs and Cabinet Secretaries kneel before me.

Even if they're as cheap as entry level gas cars I just don't think we have the charging networks for them outside of like Vancouver/Montreal/Toronto, and the vast majority of our aging housing stock (always fucking housing) doesn't have charging access even if there's a decent fast charge net.

in the* ugh

This is like some shit a Soviet MFA officer out of the London embassy would get run in the newspapers inntbs 60s to sow doubt about defectors lmao

Also they didn't really have a firm understanding of exactly just how much land and sea comprised the bay, assuming they just signed off on a minor regional bay when the letter of the charter basically gave the HBC exclusive right to 5.5% of earth's entire land area.

It is very funny that the HBC was started by two Coureur des Bois who found the land of infinite beaver pelt and failed to convince the French or Americans of it, only securing funding from London because nobility thought it would make good memoirs for them to read and would piss off the French.
