It seems like every so often Chapman’s makes the news, and every time, it’s Chapman’s being an all around awesome example that I wish other companies would follow.

Does Greenpeace even have any assets they could be made to pay with if they wanted to?

Oh no! Whatever shall they do?

Orcas are the biggest of the dolphins, and they are nightmare fuel for anything they decide is food.

Are you a great white shark that just smelled an orca? Better nope out to the other side of the planet before the orca eats your liver.

Are you a seal just swimming along? Oops, an orca just yeeted you 30 ft into the air with a tail slap, and is going to eat your stunned ass when you land.

Are you a smart seal who thinks they’re safe on the ice? Nope. Orcas will break up the ice and knock you off using waves.

Are you a grown ass moose casually going for a swim without a worry in the world? Forgot about one of your only natural predators. Now you’ve been eaten by an orca.

It’s like Canada has switched from embracing our polite and slightly passive aggressive British side, to embracing our “fuck the consequences and fuck you” not-so-polite French side.

I’m here for it. I think we should start doing all official communication with the US in French. After all, it is one of our official languages, and I’m feeling awfully petty.

I’m not asking everyone to be able to become a hardware specialist, but if you can’t even figure out “my computer gets hot” I’m not going to be able to trust anything you do. Identifying a heat issue does not take a rocket surgeon.

Could be a gen 5 nvme drive without adequate cooling. Them bastards can run hot. Especially the early gen 5 drives.

Yes, but this may be a symptom of an issue I’ve been seeing with younger programmers; they’ve siloed themselves so specifically into whatever programming they “specialize” in, that they become absolutely useless at dealing with absolutely anything else related to their job. And exasperating this issue is the fact that they’ve grown up with systems that “just work”. Windows, iOS, and android are all at the point where fucking around with hardware issues is very uncommon for the average person.

Asking this guy to solve a hardware problem is like asking hime to tune a carburetor. He likely has not the slightest clue how to start.

That’d be great, but I’m not sure how Canada is going to enforce Canadian law inside the US, and I imagine that he’s at least smart enough to stay out of Canada.

I love me some mega-projects, but as much as I’d love to see Neom succeed, I will be absolutely shocked if it ever becomes something more than a big ditch in the desert.

Well, Ontario has been talking about building some more nuclear reactors. I guess it’s time to change up the “reactor” part.

That falls squarely under the “don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to” category.

Nah, it won’t piss off any of them. They’ll do whatever mental gymnastics they have to keep their worldview intact.

“second fastest growing channel in cable television” eh? I guess that means they got one new viewer while everything else went negative.

That’s fine. The courts will just toss it.

Might not. I assume there’s some sort of penalty clause built into the contract, so there shouldn’t be much to sue about unless Ford tries to find a way to not pay that penalty.

Since you can’t use your mirror anyway, just adjust it so that it reflects back at them.

I saw one place that seemed to say that the address approval poll was among those who watched it. Could be that those who were likely to disapprove didn’t watch it in the first place.

So if I’m understanding correctly, once I get rich from winning the lottery, I should build myself a sleeper with a “Hideous and Horny Commune” bumper sticker on the back.
