I honestly think it's egotistical dipshits who can't admit to being wrong about "there's no such thing as climate change" they've been going on and on about, for decades.

Only now they really can't deny it, so it's this little nit-picking of everything that still lets them say "see, I'm still so smart about this stuff, and smart me thinks we still shouldn't do anything about climate change".

Gonna get us all killed.

Treasury Board says 3-day-a-week mandate still offers flexibility

Federal officials pointed to concerns about "public scrutiny" when the government mandated workers back into the office, even as workers reported they felt more productive working from home, documents show.

Documents prepared by the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) before the announcements of return to the office mandates were released to the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) under an access to information request, and shared with CBC News.

The documents show how TBS looked at global trends, raised concerns about public trust and had very little internal information on productivity when deciding to mandate workers back to the office.

The union says the documents point to the lack of justification for the mandated return to the office.

"They had an opportunity here to really modernize the public service and move it forward, and yet here we are talking about cookie cutter approaches, butts in seats, and we're not really talking about services to those who reside in Canada," said Sharon DeSousa, president of PSAC."

What's that cable he's standing on? Is that as far as the ankle monitor lets him go?

It's a common talking point of climate deniers, so they can excuse their own inaction.

100%. The Conservative party is currently leading polls here in Canada because of the unpopularity of Justin Trudeau.

The Conservative party are also conspiracy-loving, reality-denying loonies like the Republicans, but since "we're Canada", and "it can't happen here", they'll probably form the government next year.

Hey all!

I've spent a couple of days skimming the web to no result, and was wondering if anyone could provide a suggestion?

I have an old (donated) USB audio interface, which has a Linux kernel module, but only runs on x86. I was hoping to make a little project out of it, and see if I can run it from a mini PC.

I'm hoping to find a low-cost x86 option to run this, and realize that that factor will make it inherently a little pricier. Are there any common, older models I should keep an eye out for on the used market?
