Alberta welcomed migrant workers. Now, it wants to restrict their rights
During a series of town halls over the years led by the government, more extreme views on immigration were clear. [...] another said immigrants “harm” children and suggested she might seek asylum in the US.
Good. Take your racist ass and GTFO

oh, it absolutely was.
The UCP's handlers desperately wanted to lower the cost of labor so they pressured the government to reduce the barriers for foreign workers.
Now the UCP is shocked that all these people that they promised safety and a thriving job market need access to public services like healthcare and education.

What is this "work" you speak of?
Good craftsmen don't blame bad tools because they don't use bad tools. They have learned the craft well enough to know what makes a good tool and will get that one and properly maintain it.

Radon Mitigation system installed
I had one installed last year sometime.
I went from 300Bq/m3 to less than 10. The thing is great.

You can, but it also usually requires drilling through the concrete slab in your basement, and through an outside wall to your house.
On top of that, you need to seal any holes that might exist in the concrete. Like around your sump or water inlet or God forbid any cracks.
Then also, you have to make sure that you know how much air the fan is pulling, and have a way to monitor the flow so you know if it stops.
In short, parts are cheap. Labor and continued safety aren't.

Treize, normal?
The guy that is the head of the military for the secret shadow government?
The guy that believes that war brings out the best in humanity?
The guy that lives life like he's the villain in a stage play?
That Treize?

This would only happen if the Americans spoke French. And proper Québécois French, not Parisian French.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
This was always going to be the result. Smith had to change the rules surrounding petitions to allow for fewer signatures to even get this referendum.
I am far more worried about the other 9 questions. I didn't think we hated immigrants here as much as the Republicans down south, nor did I think a majority would approve Smith and her cronies trying to make constitutional changes just because they dislike the Liberal government.

What are some idioms that no longer make sense? Can you think of a modern replacement?

It's one of my favorite pieces of animation ever produced.
It's perfect from beginning to end. Nothing could be added or removed to make it better.

When you need to be absolutely sure of something, "looks like" is not sufficient evidence.

Am I the only one bothered by this?
This is just another thing on the list of thigs that I dont like business doing.
Slop advertising itself is not enough to stop me supporting local business, but it is a mark against them should competition ever arrive.

Honestly, Pulp Fiction probably is overrated.
Like, it's a good movie, a great movie even. But even when it's compared to only movies released in the same year, it's barely top 5.
This is the same year as Forest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, The Lion King, and The Professional

So I guess Elon tried to get into chess because it's a smart people hobby, got demolished, and now is having a sour grapes moment.

Raspberry Pi is intentionally blocking RAM capacity upgrades
the measure is primarily intended to prevent third parties from buying lower-capacity boards, replacing their RAM with cheaper parts of uncertain origin and then reselling the modified hardware as a higher-capacity model. The company argues that such modified boards have not undergone its validation process and could subsequently generate support requests if unstable memory is blamed on the company.
The solution to this decidedly rare problem is authorized resellers, not an arbitrary block on a very technically demanding upgrade.
That's assuming this is the actual problem though. If the problem is actually "We want to make more money by charging extra for 'enthusiast models'" then this is the correct tactic to ensure that you aren't undercut by cheap labor.

Microsoft Mysteriously Freezes Accounts for VeraCrypt, WireGuard, Windscribe
"Not every 'WTF micro$oft' moment is a slam dunk," he tweeted. "I've emailed VeraCrypt personally and we'll get him unblocked. I've already talked to Jason at WireGuard. Not everything is a conspiracy, sometimes it's literally paperwork."
Funny how paperwork never really seems to be a problem for any other OS.
