Anyone accusing someone of utility is someone I’ll ignore.

Don’t forget the shrimp chips!

Mom! The giant sloths have dug up the neighborhood again!

I’d just use a lever.

The running is more impressive though, as he wasn’t run over by a vehicle.

The formal statement is out now — in this case it’s because an aide wanted to tweet neo-nazi propaganda in her name and she responded by trying to get them fired… and others in the party responded by firing her instead for not being neo nazi enough.

I’ll counter with another question: are tomatoes and peppers fruit or vegetables?

Sucrose is made up of glucose and fructose, so anything that contains sucrose contains fructose bound to glucose.

And just like fructose isn’t directly related to fruit, glucose isn’t directly related to glue. And sucrose doesn’t come from suits.

Why exactly is it bogus? He’s smack-dab in the middle of the conflict between old-HK and China. From a Chinese perspective, I can see very well how he’s a national security risk because of his communication with conflicting US interests.

It’s not his fault that the political landscape shifted on him making his activities now illegal, but the charges aren’t bogus.

I’m still missing your point.

I’ve got all my apps I’ve downloaded backed up, at least for macOS. iOS… easier to grab the older ones off a pirate repository once Apple stops listing them.

Are you trying to say that everyone should be running Debian Stable without non-free on commodity x86 or RISC-V hardware with only open source hardware gerbers and no proprietary chips?

Apple is the only provider of Apple IDs.

Other yhan that, I’m not sure what gave you the impression I’m dependent on a single provider?

I’ve been an Apple customer for 35 years. Had an Apple account as long as Apple has had such things. A few years ago (specifically, when Apple started retiring 32-bit apps from the App Store) I saw where Apple was going and created a dedicated account for my Apple ID that’s separate from the one I use for my contact for Apple services.

If Apple locked me out of my account today, I’d lose access to 14 years of app purchases on that account. That’s about it? And at some point I started using an alternative ID for some of my purchases, so I’d only lose access to some of them. And of course, I now keep copies of everything backed up, since they could vanish from Apple’s servers at any time.

Trump first became president in 2017. Omar’s son would have been much younger then; that’s usually the time people think of when they think of her.

And which broken homeland are Miller’s ancestors from?

So BC conservatives AND alt-right BC conservatives found their leaders inappropriate? Did either party explain why?

Learn Ukrainian first maybe, and then learn Russian? It may be easier to learn if you already know Ukrainian, too.

Of course, if you already know Ukrainian, why not learn Russian too?

I got a miniPC 5 years ago that had a 128GB SSD in it that I used like that. When I went to get a second one last year, the same price point came with 1TB. I got it and swapped out the storage and stuck it in an external case.

Look at Apple’s software history.

The Mac came out in 1984 with a beta-level OS that was a re-packaging of LisaOS. It took them two years to get things stabilized, but then they had a decent OS that conformed to a set of interface guidelines and enforced that on the app ecosystem.

Within a year, they knew they needed to migrate to a better core OS model though. So they bought a Unix license and hired a third party to develop A/UX. Meanwhile, they worked in parallel to build out the existing OS architecture to handle more capable hardware and some improved design principles.

By 1994, they knew A/UX was unmaintainable and they needed to start from scratch, so projects Copland and Gershwin were born, along with a completely new hardware strategy that would have the entire industry working off a single core platform. That ended up a complete disaster on both the hardware and software fronts.

In fact, things were bad enough on the software side back in 1990 that Jean Louis Gassé left Apple with some other design talent and started Be, and by 1996 Apple needed bail out money from Microsoft to stay solvent.

Apple used some of that money in 1997 to buy NeXT (and bring back Steve) after considering buying Be. This brought about Project Rhapsody which finally replaced A/UX with a proper POSIX compliant, maintainable, multitasking OS based on NeXTStep and BSD with the core internals of Mac OS sitting on top.

But it took until 2001 for them to actually deliver a functional product, and until 2002 for it to be fully stabilized. This, despite the fact that they actually charged for each OS version released.

From 2002 to 2011 Apple worked at refining the OS.

And then in 2011 they switched to a service model, and QA and functionality took a back seat to sales and marketing. They’ve been losing more of the plot ever since.

For it’s time, possibly… but I’ve played through it. There are others from slightly later that have so many possible endings and characters that I never felt like I fully completed them.

Call it 5.5

Not really; racism in general isn’t the issue. Canada’s been multicultural from the beginning. Bigger issues are things like cultural sovereignty— indigenous and French mostly. Skin colour really doesn’t come i to it.

Might help to know what you’re comparing it to though.

Also, it might help to watch “Race Across The World Series 3” if you’re from the UK — and a good interview is here: https://www.canadianaffair.com/blog/canada-advocate-q-and-a-trish-and-cathies-race-across-the-world-adventure

That show did a pretty good job of capturing the highs and lows of interpersonal relations in Canada.

Remember… “planning on traveling to Canada” is like saying you’re planning on traveling to Europe… it’s a BIG place that spans four time zones and has all sorts of people.

So you’re likely to spot some bigots, but there’s also plenty of welcoming people. Part of it depends on where you go. In general, cities are more multicultural and a little of more rural areas used to be very white, with indigenous reservations in the most unexpected places.

Beside that, Alberta is “Little Texas” and BC isn’t that different from Washington and Oregon states. Manitoba is really friendly, Quebec tends to be welcoming in the cities and culturally insular in many of the rural areas. All the east coast provinces tend to be really friendly. The territories are very sparsely populated, so other people are treated like a gift OR like something the person is trying to avoid — race doesn’t tend to come into it.
