That's because Jesus famously said: go forth and kill the people you disagree with.

Seriously, I can't reconcile how those Christians can go to church every week and just completely ignore the teachings of the woke, antifascism, anticapitalism dude, you know... Christ himself.

Can somebody explain this to me? I genuinely can't wrap my head around it.

 

40$ gets you 4 days of shows at the Cap. And wrestling too!

Don't know anything about the bands but at that price, it's worth checking it out.

According to my sources, there are discussions happening right now—within Trump’s most trusted circle—about invoking martial law if the protests 'get out of hand.'

No shit.

I'm surprised by the quasi gender equity: 5 men, 4 women.

Racial diversity, on the other hand...

Unpopular opinion: Oreo cookies would be better WITHOUT the filling.

*The Trump administration was given 10 days to make the necessary changes to carry out the judges’ orders. *

My money is on them ignoring this: they have ignored other judgements about deportation flights with no consequences. Why would there be any this time?

We'll see in 10 days.

He's making it really easy to send our defense dollars elsewhere:

*Trump took to Truth Social to say that his administration was negotiating with Canada about joining his "Golden Dome" missile defence system, which "will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State. They are considering the offer!" *

The methodology used to get that result is supposedly very questionable.

I heard it here:

Science Vs: Is There Really a Plastic Spoon in Our Brains?

Not to minimize the impact of microplastics, but the credit card amount is probably way off.

Thanks.

Sigh

It's a very nice, very depressing, document. More people should read it.

Land of the free

Home of the brave

 

The number of cross-border travellers going from Canada to the U.S. dropped by nearly 900,000 in March compared to the same month last year, according to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data — easily one of the worst year-over-year drops recorded outside of the COVID-19 health crisis.

 

They're telling us where it hurts. Let's hit them there. I say export tarifs on potash.

Start with 25%, and increase them by 25% every week until they submit.

We could call it the Brawndo tax...

 

Stubled on this gem today.

It's a "hole in the wall" kind of place but the food is incredibly tasty. If you like spicy meat and rice dishes, you won't be disappointed. You can eat there, but it seems geared for take out.

It's tucked away in a basement on York (440 York): it's easy to overlook but it's worth the trip.

Do give this place a try. Fredericton desperately needs more options that are not pizza or burgers!

 

That was quick!

 

I hope it’s OK to post to this community to ask for help. If not, just let me know where I should go.

The Initial Situation

I have an old Aspire E1-472G with a GeForce 820M, which I’d like to give to my son who loves to play “There’s poop in my soup.” The laptop was fine with Mint for Office stuff and browsing, but I couldn’t get it to use the 820m to play games: it would always default to the onboard video card. I tried switching to the Nvidia drivers but all I got was a black screen. So I decided to format and install a gaming-friendly version of Linux. I opted for Pop!_OS, since it looked like it may solve my 820 m problem.

The Problem

I created a Pop!_OS boot USB drive, installation went fine, used defaults for partitions, rebooted, took out the USB drive and… “Operating System not found.”

What I did

Checked boot order: SSD drive is #2, right after USB.

Boot mode: Legacy Bios, but I’ve tried UEFI also–same result.

Tried reinstalling: same

Looked for help online: After reading dozens of posts and their solutions, I can’t get it to work but I suspect it has something to do with Boot Mode or the partitioning, but I can’t figure it out.

My level of skill

I come from Windows and I have installed Mint a few times. I can copy paste stuff in the Terminal, but really, I’m pretty much useless besides that.

What I Hope to Get

I’m not set on POP_OS so if there’s an easier solution, I’m all ears. I think I’m just overlooking something that would be obvious to a more experienced person.

Thanks for your help!

** Update 2024-11-03**

I had some time this morning to tinker with it.

Things I've tried

1-Manually change boot order/put ssd first in BIOS: same result

2-Tried reinstalling while manually doing the partition: same result.

3-While rebooting with boot key, I checked the files on the SSD: I'm no expert, but everything seems there. bin, boot, dev, etc, home, ...

4-Currently downloading the boot repair disk octopus_ink recommendend. It's 2.6G so it's taking a while.

Options I got left

1-Update the bios: seems easier said than done. I'm gonna have to read up on that. 2-Probably my next move: just give up and try another distro! I'm looking at Nobara. https://nobaraproject.org/

Thanks for the suggestions. If ever I get it to work, I'll report back.

 

_More flyers on the horizon

Campaign Life Coalition has already registered as a third-party advertiser with Elections New Brunswick ahead of the Oct. 21 race, previously telling Brunswick News it plans to issue a voters’ guide and other materials.

Under third-party advertising rules, individuals and groups are entitled to each spend up to $17,600 province-wide on election advertising during the official campaign period.

However, Elections New Brunswick has acknowledged it doesn’t have the power to investigate complaints of collusion between groups, political parties and candidates to get around spending-limit rules. It also doesn’t have the power to levy administrative fines if parties are found to be in violation of the rules.
Article content

Elections New Brunswick asked for both of those powers in a 2019 electoral reform report submitted to the legislature. Only two out of 108 reform recommendations in the report were acted upon, according to Elections New Brunswick.
