I take it schools aren't teaching tech literacy. We wouldn't want the kids to get in the way of our overlord marketing agencies.

Petro-masculinity is a brilliant term.

Yeah, I'm sorry to say that is a result of good marketing. I work at a university and we have experience with a good number of XPS laptops.

We saw at least a 60% problem rate, and Dell's support was dog slow. Batteries being the weak spot. Because it's thin it is more fragile, we saw a number of broken screens, and keyboards. One survived a Gatorade spill, but another failed after a water spill. Go figure

A three year warranty helped, but we were out of a laptop for months at a time, more than once on the same laptop.

I'm surprised this had to be said. 6 days before the balots are ordered.

Thomas has for 25 years been a regular at the Grove, an all-men’s retreat held on a 2,700-acre property in California

Interesting article. I don't know anything about Sikhs or the the politics and history behind Kalistan.

But trying to relate, I'm thinking of Albertans in Mexico rallying for Wexit, and I giggle to myself.

Thank-you for bringing that up. I laughed when I saw it. I'm surprised he isn't wearing a harness, hi vis, and a hard hat.

If you watch the video, you can see the platform in the executive parking lot lifts him up to use the Shaw workyard as a background. This way he doesn't have to get his shoes dirty.

What a putz

Health Canada says:

Starting in fall 2023, it's recommended that you get an updated COVID-19 vaccine dose if it's been at least 6 months:

  • since your last COVID-19 vaccine dose or
  • since you last had COVID-19 (whichever happened later)

I got my vaccination last month, so I will get this at the end of February 2024

Diversity is believed to bring substantial benefits such as better decision making and improved problem solving,[11] greater creativity and innovation, which leads to enhanced product development, and more successful marketing to different types of customers.[7][12] Diversity is also claimed to enhance organizations' abilities to compete in global markets.[13] Simply recognizing diversity in a corporation helps link the variety of talents within the organization.

That's a nice guard, I've only seen the half open crescent that is supposed to protect the user from sticking their finger into the wheel.
