They have a certain amount of time with this vote to actually do anything with it. The timing of this vote will allow them to negotiate over the summer with the mandate in their back pocket and have the actual strike potentially be in the fall as school is supposed to be coming back.

They do it now because it becomes really hard to organize a vote as soon as summer hits.

I think it is actually generally short for “Government Issue” as a kinda a reference that they are government issue like everything else in a soldiers life

As an Albertan, yes, that is the goal of way too much of this Provence. Too many think we are already just like Texas. Send help…

I disagree. He doesn’t love money. He covets the respect and power that he believes money brings with it and if forever angry that even with the presidency he can’t get the true respect he believes he is entitled to.

Cool, thank you. It’s hard to find clear info out there

From what I have been reading they are planning to charge all users who are streaming remotely… Even if the host is paying.

“If you want to watch you library away from home you’ll have to pay. It also affects anyone you share your home library with. They will have to pay if they are not Plex Pass subscribers themselves. Plex will offer a Remote Watch Pass tier for $2/month or $20/year.”

Now, I am not saying this is by any means a big amount of money or making a judgment call about the reasonableness of them charging for what services… But it definitely seems like they want to ensure they are getting cash from everyone who ever touches Plex. Again, $2 a month is very little, but that’s on top of the charges for the host

They are pushing to make users pay as well

Ha! As a life long Albertan. We have had this cancer for a very very long time. Up until the NDP won an election a few cycles back the way it tended to work was the only way to unseat a conservative government was with an even more conservative government.

Very very very good

In school in a sanctuary district? I wouldn’t let them in with a warrant. ICE can fuck off.

Memes only matter if they effect revenue. If profit climbed then the stupid stays.

Specifically from Tim Hortons, which despite not having been Canadian in ages still gets treated like a Canadian icon.

But as a result yeah, often referred to that way in common culture.

As a Canadian it looks like a timbit being used for scale

It’s two cartons of eggs, each container is a dozen and a half. Eggs are normally in units of a dozen so keeping that as a consistent unit across multiple brands and styles makes sense. Costco normally indicates how many things are packaged together more than the overall total. It’s useful to know the format.

If it was on tray of 36 eggs the would have used 3 dozen and the indicator to keep it consistent with the standard unit of eggs.

They are rebel military governors of a station that seceded from the earth government. The media in question is a part of a propaganda wing of an anti-democratic authoritarian government they are under blockade and misinformation campaign from.

By no means are they saints nor are they anything but military governors at this point. But in their defense the station was a military installation and they later go on to form a democratic government and cede control of the station back to it. So it’s definitely a show that has a stand up to those giving immoral and illegal orders vibe. Not saints, definitely military and wield it heavily sometimes. But overall the message is one of following the democratic process and respecting the freedom of the press.

The rest of the episode is centered around Sheridan allowing the freedom of the press and then getting burned in the end by the propaganda machine twisting everything that is said an seen to their own advantage. But still ends on the note that they were right to open up and right to believe in continuing to be open.

Also a voters pay and retirement benefits are not likely to be impacted by how they vote. Civil service it can make a huge difference in the long run if you retire vs get dismissed.

As much as that is a wonderful sentiment. Retirement vs firing might make a substantial difference in their quality of life i. Retirement whereas getting fired is a symbolic gesture that may or may not have any impact at all. I can understand trying to make sure that personally you come out as on as possible.

From my limited understanding the removal of an apex predator can cause role effects through a good chain. First their primary preys will tend to over populate. Then the food sources for this pretty well get devastated by the extra consumption. Then any animal or plant that relies upon whatever food sources can collapse as well.

The example that was explained to me, and please give me some grace as this is me remembering this from a zoology course in college a decade ago, I a burn in Yellowstone national Park.

Birders had noticed that a population of a small songbird had collapsed. When wolves were reintroduced to the park they started to bounce back. Turns out the birds only beard in a particular your of shrub. That shrub was getting over eaten by the elk population despite it not being a prefered food since. The elk were heavily overpopulated and devouring less preferred food in much higher volumes because there were no wolves to keep the population in check. So when wolves can’t back everything started to balance back out.

This is a pretty straightforward example of how interconnected the average food web in an ecosystem in. These kind of role effects can spread well past the immediate area where a key species is removed. But hopefully it can help show how one species can be so critical for an ecosystem. I don’t know about the animals in this case, but I suspect it would be something like this.
