Notice how they are focusing on Ukraine in this announcement trying to bolster Putin's propaganda narrative for invading Ukraine. This administration hates Zelensky because of some secret server that he wouldn't hand over with some kind of Hunter Biden evidence that they are willing to help Russia destroy a country and enslave it. Tulsi is a moron...along with the rest of the administration. It is all bullshit...

Such bullshit coming from a Russian assets. This is the lady who spoke fondly of Assad, Putin, etc. This entire administration is filled with complete morons and inept people who are in positions that are well beyond their abilities. 3 more years of these morons are surely going to destroy the country. Clown show for morons....

I have been reading that the deal basically includes almost everything Iran has been asking for. Perhaps, the folks around Trump understanding the cliff we are racing for are keeping Trump out of the loop and hope he will just sign something because the pain that is coming has the potential to force a ground war America is not prepared for.

It's why Trump is pissing himself trying to get a deal. If the straight stays closed, everyone is fucked.

The US consumer cellular subscription service is around 185 billion a year and if you add business/enterprise it is around 225 billion a year. If they were able (highly unlikely) to capture that market in the US alone through Satellite Cellular service, it would be huge revenue stream. Setting up data centers in orbit (easier said than done) would be another huge revenue stream. Setting up facilities to beam down energy to earths surface could also be an opportunity.

If I learned a good lesson, it's never say never....

A patient that is functionally cured shouldn't pass on the disease. Since it is cleared from the blood and the viral DNA is undetectable, it is not replicating anymore, so it can't be transmitted. They risk is not absolute since the dormant virus is still genetically encoded in the liver.

Perhaps they should vote, unfortunately they don't. They are unreliable as a base so politicians ignore them and their needs.

New comment by sleepyguy in "Canada says AI strategy will help create 250k jobs, boost GDP by 3%"

sleepyguy — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 17:20:45 +0000

Don't want to rain on everyone's parade but....

The entire job market and economy is dismal in Canada. Unless you are working for the Gov, you're kind of fucked. New grads have few opportunities, many try to find meaningful work in the US or abroad. Does anyone actually take this announcement seriously?

It's just a nice story....

>The government expects the strategy to increase the country's gross domestic product by 3%, unlocking nearly C$200 billion as commercialization and use of AI in key sectors increases labor productivity.

More layoffs through adoption of AI to replace jobs.

>Canada will establish a C$500 million Canadian Tech Growth Fund to help close the capital gap at Canadian AI companies versus U.S. tech giants.

500 million? Google et al spend that in a day.

>The government will use a C$500 million initiative from the Business Development Bank of Canada to finance access to AI tools for Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises.

The hoops you will have to jump through for access will make it entirely not worth it.

Just saying...junk away...

They would need their own FAB. Apple just designs, it doesn't really make anything, they sell devices where all the parts are manufactured by others.

New comment by sleepyguy in "Dell brings back XPS 13 as MacBook Neo competitor – with temporary price of $599"

sleepyguy — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 02:07:04 +0000

Mine did not age well. Had problems with the WiFi card crashing routers (killer Wifi). Developed issues with heat which caused problems with stability, video hardware has had all kinds of issues with heat also, can't play Youtube videos at anything over 480p without screen going nuts. Yeah, it still works and is about 6-7 years old but the problems started within 2 years of buying it brand new. Meanwhile I have an old Asus Laptop from 2012 running Win10 still going strong.Same goes for my IBM T420 running Linux. Does all the email, video, office stuff I need it to do effortlessly and just won't die. I replaced the HD with an SSD and added 4 gig of mem back in the day. Will never buy another Dell machine, they make junk.

Who can blame him, 1000's of Americans are looking for a plan b, it's good to have options especially for younger folks who have their entire lives ahead of them. If you can acquire citizenship in Canada or the EU, why not....

Sounds like he was most likely involved in some serious shit that was off the books and somehow it came to light. His boss is probably aware of what it was but no one will admit shit. It went awry and he is left holding the bag.

Gold and money for an operation that could have been to anything from funding armed rebellion to god only knows.

What does a commercial backlog have to do with an aircraft for military purposes? I'm sure there is a different lane for military aircraft. Anyone ordering an aircraft for military purposes is not going to sit on the same waiting list as a commercial airline.

Canada is aligning itself with it's European Allies. Several EU NATO members have chosen the same aircraft over Boeing.
