While you're aren't wrong, what do you think we can do militarily to stop the nation with the largest nation in the world, 10 times the population, and one of the largest economies in the world? I don't think we can get out of this by spending more on our military. Spending more on our militias, and include unconventional warfare training? Well, I don't think that would stop the invasion, but it would make the occupation a nightmare.

That, and they confused "Window Manager" and OS. There were third-party apps to make Win8 look like Win7, don't tell me they couldn't have included the option in the OS.

WinXPSP3 was a mainstay for so long. Vista wasn't going to take that crown.

A common fault is to believe only those who can do have the vision to see what should be done. Sometimes they're even right. You can hear complaints of shortcomings or you can hear suggestions for how to improve a product. And, especially in a volunteer role, you can choose if you want to do it or not.

And? I want more than my parents had. I want my kids to have more than me. How do you think that is going to happen?

There have been some recent advances on hydrogen production. I don't think this (sorry for the MSN link) is the one I heard of, but is an interesting example where cheaper catalysts are improving the efficiency of hydrogen production.

Now, I don't know if or when hydrogen will be more cost-effective than batteries, which are also experiencing massive advances. This is why I'm going to take the comment someone on Lemmy made about buying used EVs for the next little while - it's cheaper, they're lasting longer than predicted, and the advances lined up for the next few years are significant.

That's the kind of effort-to-tasty ratio i can get behind.

She could be Canadian. Keep your wits about you and watch for signs..

I specifically made 2 lb/850g loaves so I could work less, but as long as you're happy. Looks tasty!

I really like this, and I think moosuk really encapsulates the feeling of stumbling across more than one moose in the wild, but the last thing English needs is another standard for pluralization.

The number of farmers I've heard talking about mixing diesel and fertilizer to remove stumps and boulders...

Honestly, Canada is a terrible target from a guerrilla warfare perspective. We have vast areas of emptiness that locals are familiar with but are dangerous if you don't know how to survive there, many pocket communities that could easily hide insurgents and weaponry, lots of farming, which means lots of nitrates, a populace that can easily disappear into the American general population, and enough of an identity to not want to be absorbed by a different culture.

I don't think we could stop America from invading and occupying, but we could make Vietnam look like a walk in the park. So, who's up for another couple decades of occupation?
