I hope no finds out how easy it is to download software like lmstudio and 1click install DeepSeek-R1 or hundreds of other models to test at home on desktop hardware. It would be a terrible, possibly criminal, bit of information.

I have 5 excellent local breweries to choose from here in the Comox Valley, and an embarrassingly rich array of BC beer to choose from. I have a few California wines that truly like but wont be buying them any more. I have a lot of friends and family in that state who are appalled by the behavior of their president, but I will avoid sending my money to the US where I have alternatives.

Classic Trump. Create a problem so that he can “solve” it.

But Canadians are not ready to forgive and forget. Maybe ever.

We can do it the olde fashioned way, by not buying American booze. That is my plan.

right when they have the most leverage?!? the dastards!

the richest person in Parliament without ever having a job outside of government

but i keeping being told by youtube ads that Jagmeet Singh is snooty leech who likes fancy watches and getting paid? /s

As an American import to Canada I have seen first hand the destruction that conservatism celebrates as progress. Hopefully the utter gong show that is taking place to the south will open some eyes, but after the US election I have a hard time remaining positive. Most people want easy answers to complex problems. If those existed they would have already been implemented.

concerns anti-abortion state laws could allow phone searches for menstrual data

If the police search your phone then that would not protect you.

Could be good for Canada in the long run if educated workers, doctors, nurses, professors, researchers etc decide to move north.

Fore sure more details needed. I run LMDE6 on my system and its RX7600 works perfectly out of the box.

I guess there are many more deeply racist and sexist people than I wish to believe.

This. I knew that there was a great deal of racism and misogyny in the USA but the extent of it is horrifying. Having lived almost my whole life there in various states, it still took me by surprise. I dont understand it and never will. Nor do I understand how people can fall for simplistic rhetoric and scapegoating. But clearly it works.

Lynx obviously.

I am going to go back to MH for email too.

exactly. Houses in big cities are not expensive because they are better than houses in the bush. The house isnt worth shit, in fact burning it down might make the property more valuable. The land is what has value.

There will be no way to avoid it completely short of hiding in a cave all day. As for it being over… the results will most likely be known by days end, but since one side is committed to not accepting those results the next few weeks could be unprecedented.

What I learned from living in the US during the previous 2 elections :

There is no real upside to watching this closely. Like the comments on a Youtube video, for your own mental health just dont.

Ernest falsehoods left unchallenged risk being accepted as facts.

Vague hand-waving is not a solution to problems, it is lazy.

What spending should be cut? What regulations should be removed? What government programs should be shutdown?

Without some specifics there is not even anything to discuss in your comment.

The US has been engaged in that experiment for 50+yrs now. Still waiting for the trickling to start.
