A lot more than a third of eligible voters came out to vote. Not all the polls have even been unofficially counted yet and we're at nearly 1.9 million of the 2.9 million eligible voters.

Also, this is a vote to have a vote to leave, so what we're seeing with is the ceiling, you'd expect more for a stay vote if it actually came to that.

The specific part:

Use of artificial intelligence

When I read that paragraph, I was gobsmacked. They "spent months analyzing feedback"? Seriously? They needed charts and graphs to figure out that people just want Windows to work?

Should they have not analyzed feedback? Out of everything you could complain about Microsoft, complaining about them taking their time to get it right this time wouldn't be one of them. I mean, they aren't going to get it right this time, but that seems like a different complaint.

"Well, someone needs to run Vichy Canada!"
-Pierre, probably.

It looks like this for me. Granted I'm on Piefed so that's probably part of the reason.

For the cost of one orbital data centre, you could probably build 10 terrestrial data centres, bribe literally everyone involved in the construction to pretend that they built it in space, buy an island, fake your death, and spend the rest of your life off-grid.

Canada doesn't show this increase either, going from 3.1-5.6-3.8. Mexico did increase from 2.6 to about 6 percent, and that 6 percent was consistent for June and July.

@[email protected] might be correct in that it's webscrapers.

Trump implemented tarrifs the last time he was President as well, the difference being that he wasn't (at least openly) doing it to try to annex our country. This time it is very much that, to the point that accepting the last trade deal would have made us a de facto protectorate of the United States.

To the point that it's a meme.

You could just go to Lemvotes and figure out the specific users who did as well.

Yeah, your upvotes and downvotes are public.

The Canadian government saying that the ban is lifted is meaningless because they never banned alcohol anyway, as it's not their jurisdiction.

I'm guessing that they might have been a bit worried about people actually dying at the event rather than just people being sweaty.

The streaking was so bad on mine that I bit the bullet and just replaced the windshield.

To your first question, not really. The entire point of the notwithstanding clause is such that it cannot be challenged by the court. To your second question, yes.

They asked the New York federal court to subpoena Microsoft and Discord to find out who the hacker is. You don't do this for a viral marketing campaign.

It's like claiming you own Facebook because you bought a link that redirects to it.

Pretty much, yeah.

It's a warehouse, not a store.

The question from the petition that the Alberta Prosperity Project is proposing is "Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province in Canada?" which is currently being held up in the courts, while the Forever Canadian's currently ongoing petition is "Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?"

There is currently no ongoing petition where signing it indicates a desire for Alberta to leave Canada.

I don't get why people want to eat the rich so much. Doesn't that cause prion disease?
