@nomadgeist I’m not going to make a large purchase without discussing it with the person who is the other half of the marriage. She should get a say in how we manage our money, since it is effectively *our* money.
Marriage is a team sport.
If I say this I'm either...
1. Lying so you leave me alone
2. Informing my wife of a large purchase because it will impact us financially. I would be pissed off if she spent several thousand dollars without consulting me, hence I show mutual respect for my spouse by discussing finances with her and seeing what her opinion is on a large purchase.
Maybe that makes me a wife guy, I don't know, but I thought it was healthy and normal to have mutual respect for each other and to discuss important topics like money
@7evenReels No one. "Captain America" is not a mantle to be passed on. The title belongs to Steve Rogers. Let Bucky and Sam be their own heroes, with their own identities, rather than trying to wedge one of them into an pre existing role.
@snarkolepsy@mahaoo_ASI "You dont feel like you own any device or piece of software."
I think this a big part of it. It doesn't feel like we own the products, instead we are the product. So when the tech advances, it just feels like it's even further out of our control.
The democrats are upset we spent approximately $30 billion bombing Iran! They’re saying the money should have been used to fund health care. I’m wondering why they didn’t fund healthcare with the approximately $182 billion they gave to Ukraine during the Biden administration ?
I really don’t get why Canadians think free access to the U.S. market is an entitlement.....
Dairy cartel. Banking and maple syrup cartel. Telecom cartel. Provincial liquor monopolies...on and on . An auto industry that survives because it sells into the U.S. Steel and aluminum benefiting from subsidized cheap provincial power and also transshipments. Lumber from government-owned Crown forests under state-administered pricing.
Canada protects Canada. But America is expected to stay wide open?
Then add years of underfunding NATO, benefiting from NORAD and the U.S. security umbrella, and now concerns about Canada being used as a transshipment route to bypass U.S. trade restrictions.
And somehow the American worker and taxpayer are supposed to keep paying the price? C’mon!!.
This needs to end. If Canada wants free trade, then practice free trade. Open your markets. End the protections. Stop the transshipment loopholes. Compete on equal terms.
Otherwise, the U.S. should terminate CUSMA/USMCA, strengthen the border, and level the playing field.
Canada is an ally. But access to the American market is not a Canadian birthright. America is not an ATM.
Alibaba's AliExpress was caught using users' audio systems to track them.
AliExpress wasn't recording users but instead playing a silent sound and measuring how users' specific devices processed it in order to fingerprint them.
But don't worry because Brave stops this.

@Oilfield_Rando What other tools do you have? Planer? Joiner? You can't build cabinets out of rough lumber (the stuff you get at home Depot) w/o a planer. It's not straight enough.
HOLY CRAP!
Out-of-control Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Angie Nixon calls President Trump a "34-COUNT ADJUDICATED R*PIST" on NBC News!
WRONG! Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records — not r*pe.
Hope she and NBC are ready for the slander lawsuits!
