Would've considered changing doctors if he didn't. 😂

No it doesn't. It only does if those are the majority of the Democratic party. And they're not. I don't think many are finding this meme to mean there aren't Democrats that toil against the majority of the party. I find the constant purity testing of memes and critique of the Democratic party serves much more to shield the part that shouldn't be shielded from critique. Oh no, this critique isn't 99% accurate! Yes. It's 80% accurate.

Just read the section on his mayorship of Braddock. This bud has been problematic for a long time. I don't think he's gone crazy lately, instead people got sold a counterfeit product during his federal election that they didn't look much into.

At this point all the arguments about what nefarious could they possibly do with the data are busted. They answer is - our imagination and access to information is not rich enough to figure out today and it's probably worse than what we can think of.

Faraday cage or bust.

“I try to explain to manufacturers in third countries that these components — especially a list of 50 joint priority categories we prepared closely with Ukrainians — may seem harmless. These include optical readers, integrated circuits, microchips, flash memory cards, which are found in our phones and computers. But when they get to Russia, it becomes weapons of war,” O’Sullivan detailed.

Yeah, good luck with blocking those items. They're used in way more than weapons. Probably even in medical equipment and such. Not to mention how many manufacturers there are and how many distributors there are. This isn't the late-stage capitalist consolidated landscape of the EU or NA where very few firms are responsible for all these widgets. And that's before you even broach the substantiated unwillingness of Global South countries to go against a country they have had a more reliable relationship with, devoid of colonialism, classic or neoliberal. All the while they see that the Europeans and Americans have fucked Ukraine by being an unreliable partner, from leaky financial sanctions, through chronically insufficient weapons supply, to taking huge parts of their resources in exchange.

No surprises. Nothing has changed in a way to stop the drivers behind homelessness.

Oh compared to other fast food joints for sure.

No idea, but if their competition is Starbucks, Starbucks isn't competing on coffee quality. 😂

Would they pay better than Starbucks? How hostile would they be to unions?

 

I have a simple circuit where 5V signal is fed into a buffer (Nexperia 74LVC1G07), then from the buffer into another device. The buffer is fed 5V by a switching DC-DC (R-78HB5.0-0.5/W). After it's been off for a while, the buffer works, the signal is recognized by the receiver. This continues for some time, minutes, to tens of minutes. Then the buffer stops working. The DC-DC still works as well as the source. If I unplug it and let it sit for an hour, it resets back to working for a while until it stops.

Context:

The setup runs on an ebike 36V battery. Theres a hub motor connected to the same battery (via power controller). The signal source is a torque sensor. The destination is a bike computer.

Any idea what could be causing this? I don't know much about electronics. I learn specific bits to do something but I'm ignorant otherwise. E.g. I know what a buffer does, I understand how it works on high level but I have no clue for example how it could be affected by the rest of the system electrically through noise, EMI, etc. My physics intuition here makes me think there must be some charge buildup happening which dissipates with time when turned off. I've no idea if this is remotely valid, or if it is how to fix it. Any ideas are appreciated!

I did support Carney and I hope he does good things, and I don't think the following scenario would occur but I realize this belief is entirely based on my judgement of Carney's character which could be wrong.

I was thinking about the proposed gas pipeline to the east coast. If Carney hopes to be re-elected, he can't ram a pipeline through Quebec using emergency powers if such exist. Or he'd lose his seats in QC. Instead he's gotta give significant concessions to QC, like ownership, high royalties, etc. Stuff that he and Blanchet can sell to the Quebecers. I think this is certainly possible for a gas pipeline.

But then the following disaster scenario occurred to me. He likely has significant Brookfield investments in that blind trust. He likely has a seat open on that board whenever he quits public service. What if he uses emergency powers to ram a whole bunch of infrastructure, through P3s, where the private partner retains ownership, and the partner is Brookfield. Do as many of those as possible, get kicked out of office and sit on Brookfield's board, that much richer, while we get saddled with an even angrier and vindicated CPC fascism.

Thoughts?

Edit: Thanks for wading into my election PTSD nightmare!

 

I wanted to buy a pair of pants but I can't see Add to card anywhere. Am I blind?

 

Niagara Falls—Niagara-on-the-Lake is another close LPC-CPC race that could use any help from non-LPC voters. It used to be a CPC seat.

This page shows a nice visualization of the closest races.
