We already have that in English. It’s “American” vs “North American”.

I wanna be a maelstrom in 1714 C.E.
Maybe they went there the same day I did.

Probably should not have made it to Knight, either.

Is cash dead in Australia?
Reply in thread
That doesn’t sound like it’s good news. That’s the way we do it in Canada and it just means that people paying cash are subsidizing the people using cards. Now everyone needs to use cards so you don’t miss out on “points” and costs go up even more.

Ya, but it’s just a hidden surcharge (per my understanding). That sounds worse.
Edit: not disagreeing. I think publicly owned payment systems that don’t charge more than operating costs are absolutely necessary (in Canada too).

Mark Ruffalo Goes Scorched-Earth on Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger, Calling Out the Ellison Family’s Complicity in Palestinian ‘Genocide’
I hate that “anti genocide” and “pro genocide” are now a part of my mental notes when evaluating someone’s character.

This HAS to be satire
I definitely don’t want my life in the hands of someone that can’t afford to be 30 seconds late to wherever they are going.

Canadian premier says Trump is a ‘bad person’ as Canada weighs concessions for trade deal
Reply in thread
Trump is the one wiping his ass with NAFTA and now USMCA. They are not the ones stirring the pot. Anyway, provinces have a lot of say in who they trade with and if they want to make it hurt for states that violate trade agreements, then good for them.

Got 5. Four is possible if you hit the bumper (barely) on the third shot, but I don’t have that much patience 🙂.

What are your feelings about the same question being posted across multiple instances?

I would definitely try to limit yourself to two posts. Lots of people browse by “all” and you may get blocked by people that start to get annoyed with dupes.

Peanut butter

Apparently the butter lobby is stronger than the cheese lobby. Somewhat ironic, given they both come from milk.

An amazing directory: /proc
How can the symlinks work if the file has been deleted?

It is within provincial jurisdiction - https://www.canada.ca/en/intergovernmental-affairs/services/internal-trade/canadian-free-trade-agreement.html
The CFTA aligns provinces with things like USMCA, but per my point, it’s being violated by Trump and some provinces are retaliating in ways that are still compatible with those agreements and are speaking up about it. As is their right.

Ya, the description sounds more like a hard link, but that also doesn’t work, since the executable is obviously not stored on /proc.
Your explanation makes sense, thanks.

Supply chain attack on arrayref
Reply in thread
Gradle and Maven create static build artifacts, they do not dynamically run 3rd party build scripts. And it is uncommon (though not impossible) to use dynamic version targets.
I’m it not saying it’s an impossible attack vector Java, but I haven't seen it yet and I’ve seen it a couple times with Rust and countless times with Javascript. The Javascript ones now use your credentials to publish even more malicious build scripts, so it spreads like a virus.

I stopped here on two of my three visits to Scotland. It was unfortunately out of the way when I was there in June.
