because of the bad vibes there…

So… Once Iranian government falls. Who’s going to prevent the terrorists from going into Iran spread there?
The new government is probably too weak, Israel probably don’t care anymore and will focus on clearing off Palestine.
So the US probably got handed off this hot potato because, if no western countries is doing it, China or Russia will come in and cause chaos later.

What did china exempt after Trump exempted Phones, Electronics and Computers

I started winding down when Alexis Ohanian fired the AMA subreddit’s organizer; lied to her face; and blamed Ellen Pao (CEO at the time).
I started going there only when desperate after the API scandal.
The only thing that I miss is the ability to see just the subreddits I specify in the url (i.e. r/news+technology+worldnews+etc+etc)

This will be the new America. A country who backs Israel no matter what, even war crimes.

Canada can blame US for unregistered gun coming into the country.
Preventing gun smuggling should be one of the negotiation item

Glad I moved to Garmin a while back. I preferred Fitbit’s Dashboard over Garmin
When I heard Google’s buying it, I got a Garmin for my next smartwatch just to check the UI. I was thinking of moving back, but I guess I won’t.

There’s probably a lot of crazy stuff happen in Vancouver buses. Vancouver is transit centric, so from the mid-upper class to the poor and mentally ill uses the transit
The last one that I remember was early this year. I was riding the community bus (a 24 passenger, single exit bus, ) and one of the passenger looked like he hasn’t showered or changed clothes in days.
The bus bumped into something and the drive stopped and told everyone he had to stop and wait for the transit supervisor.
The guy then started screaming “WHY” several times to the driver and tried to pee on the driver. Luckily there’s a plastic barrier (from Covid days) so the driver’s safe. After that he probably realized he did something bad and walked out of the bus
