Of course not but it's important context for people who don't know why a good chunk of Cuban Americans vote Republican.

I don't think I understand the question. 😔

A tragic story that should be added to piles of child tragedy in Palestine as well as the other affected countries from these conflicts. Speaking of Palestine, I can't see it mentioned at all on the front page of rferl.org.

Yeah, we should do both. Minimize the damage and reduce reliance. I think quitting cold turkey might lead to worse outcomes, including a possible reorientation towards the US under a prospective reactionary conservative government.

Picking a Zohran-like dem socialist leader would help with the recovery.

The millions of Canadians suffering only works for a time. In the end people will vote away freedom in exchange for a piece of bread. This much has been proven by history. So in any plan that involves the suffering of millions, there has to be a portion that ends that suffering in as short time frame as possible. I'm not sure there is one at the moment. There are some concepts of a plan. I don't know if we can realistically do this for example without opening up trade with China and only relying on the EU as a replacement to the US. And right now we're taking a more or less China Bad stance. Perhaps this would change if we get fucked by Trump. Perhaps Carney is using this as a stick in negotiations. E.g. if you fuck us, we'll have no choice but to do China OK in order to take care of Canadians. Maybe the EU is enough, I don't know. I just know that the EU themselves are dependent on China in a few areas and we shouldn't be paying their profit margins to get the same stuff.

Not if we're distracted with separating trash from recycling. We have way too many distractions so we might actually not be able to focus on the guillotines.

I'm not sure if we'll replace him just yet. He has to show that he's tried all reasonable avenues and if he does and Trump still fucks us, then he comes out and says - I tried all I could, now we'll have to take these unprecedented steps to prevent economic meltdown. I think in such a scenario Canadians would rally behind him and consent to COVID-like economic supports among other things, even WWII style policies around prices controls, taxes and so on, depending on how bad things get. The other parties would also be forced to support him because it would look pretty bad if they stood against taking care of Canadians during an economic crisis.

Now I hear the angry noises here, and I'm pretty angry myself, but I'm hoping that this is one elbow down so we can get something for it, like keeping supply management. If we get fucked on all fronts then... Yeah. Fuck.

 

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!

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.
