Where have I heard this before, ah yes:

Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have once again lowered the bar on accountability. They have stifled democracy by shutting down debate for a record 100th time – all to evade the scrutiny of Canadians and the opposition.

I think that, you know, the number one risk. I answered this question three years ago or so at Davos. And I was asked what’s the number one risk in the global economy? And I said Iran and it was at a time when people were not focused on Iran because I’ve always believed that it’s the biggest exporter of terror. It was hell-bent, sorry if I can say that on getting a nuclear weapon, uh, and the force multiplier on that. Of course was terrible. And so going and getting to a position where Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon. Look, I’m not naive about this, the reintegration of Iran. This is a regime that needs to learn to be civilized, needs to behave. That’s why you have performance measures. Lots needs to happen. We all have to support it, but moving to this position where that’s been taken off the table was worth it.

Adding the rest of his statement makes it clear. It’s also consistent with his initial reaction to the news about the war that got swept under the rug after the uproar from the public. What’s more, considering Iran to be the number one risk in the world because it’s “the biggest exporter of terror” is straight up hasbara. Calls into question his judgement.

You mean they’d be under economic strain to pay it?

Carney is heard saying “less than three per cent of our market, 49,000 cars,” in apparent reference to how many vehicles are allowed to be imported in Canada at the lower rate.

He makes a horizontal motion with his hand, signifying a limit, while saying there’s “a cap, we capped, a hard line” and then is heard telling Trump, “I thought you’d actually like that.”

Trump, sitting, responds, “That’s good. I like that.”

Could be a laundering scheme for either US funds or frozen Iranian funds to be distributed to Iran.

So it doesn’t appeat like the US is giving Iran money before the pro-Israel contingent in the US. Plausible deniability.

I have a feeling this might be saving face maneuvre. If anyone is paying reparations at all, that’s a sign of capitulation. In other words there’s no other choice. I doubt the Gulf wanted to do this after everything that happened over the last couple of months. I’m suspecting this could even be a scheme to hide the money coming from the US.

I think it might be from the other angle - them being pushovers and collaborators with the US and Israel, doing nothing to prevent or even facilitating their power in the region. E.g. hosting US military bases, funding the US by buying weapons from them and investing in their capital markets, hosting Israeli intelligence (UAE) etc.

So the reparations are real and paid by the gulf! 🤭

They (the gulf states) must be so thankful to the US and Israel for this position they put them in.

Are you using the All-in-One docker setup?

I don’t know what this is based on but it’s funny.

Need this book, I have an infant.

How do I know I’m not affected? I have to be fairly certain the packages identified are the only ones that were affected. That assesment could be wrong. If I 100% trust it, then yeah, I can trace if any of those packages/versions touched my machine. I would trust the package manager.

If they use free streaming, tell them that’s also piracy. (It really is) 😅

But actually don’t. They don’t sound like they came to these conclusions through rational reasoning so they prolly won’t be convinced by rational argument. Keep it to yourself and coexist.

You can run a homelab as VM on your personal computer if you have one. Then there’s no “other” computer for them to suspect. 😂

This has to be sarcasm of the deepest kind.

I’d nuke and pave if I were an Arch btw user. Then rotate keys and passwords everywhere impartant.

The serial killer could use a knife or an F150 to murder their victims. One has much higher carbon footprint than the other.

Put it behind Tailscale/Headscale/Netbird/etc. VPN connection and don’t think about it.

On Friday, the mayor’s office released a 10-minute video of Liggett addressing the incident.

“I am very concerned that there’s a certain group of people who are inflaming this situation to serve their own political agenda,” she said in the video.

“We must be willing to listen, to forgive, to learn and ultimately, to move ahead together.”

🤦

The new NDP already has a solid plan for electoral reform that is actionable.
