I ain't nice.

DO NOT follow-back because you think it's the polite thing to do. If you're polite, you don't say the things I say, do the things I do, think the way I think. I ain't a popularity-whore. Rather, I may block new followers whose timelines indicate they're probably really nice folk.

Because when installed a minimalistic way, it is tiny, robust, fast, & secure.

Oh, & free. <-- That's the biggie.

That said, if China wanted to hide espionage shit in appliances, Linux would get installed in every smart-whatever sold into the western market.

I bet Xi has a big red kill button. If he gets too pissed off, boom, no "smart" gadgets work, anywhere. Imagine the impact of that.

I don't really know if it's a good idea or not, but I would love it if "Yeah, fuck you, we're becoming part of Canada." was a viable, believable play.

I WOULD LOVE to see that orange shitstain start to lose literal ground to Canada. Or, hell, maybe Denmark. Denmark's good at managing cold remote places. Alaska could become a state of Denmark. LOL

Isn’t this how the Finding Nemo story started?

He was an outfish.

Then he was forced to be an infish… but he knew in his heart he was really an outfish.

Just finished watching A Man Called Otto on Hulu. Cried a LOT. Beautiful movie. Strong recommend.

THIS is the flavor of Marxism I can full-throatedly get behind!

I was amused that they found the smallest partial ceiling tile upon which to bestow the honor.

Like, a compliment, but the most minimal compliment they could manage.

I think there’s bigger money to be made off this idea.

1. Have them drink hallucinogenic tea.
2. Shine a regular green LED in their face.
3. Play far eastern electronica music the whole time.

You may be, at that.

I was Christian for, gosh, about 55 years, but completely anti-Catholic. Think Protestant, with extra spicy mustard.

Francis was the 1st Pope I thought was a really great guy, that I would like to have met.

Now that I'm essentially atheist, I still think Francis was a great guy.

Yeah, I have no idea. Pulled CC out of thin air 'cuz it was the only one I had any confidence (sans-google) was probably from up yonder.

Your good friends down here DO know what a great nation you have, & we envy you in many ways.

I've long been a Bourbon guy, but I may switch to Canadian Club (if it's actually Canadian).

My only reluctance is not the tariff cost, but that the fee is paid to the U.S., which does not deserve it.

Maybe I should get a boat on Lake Superior - do some "rum-running". LOL

(It's a joke, ATF, calm down.)

@denspier @NinaBernstein1
Thanks for the link.

What I think is more likely, given I'm less than a day's drive from Canada (& there's no language barrier) is that we'd head North.

The distance from home to my employer's only MN office, is the same as the distance from that office to the Canadian border.
