To secure "relief" ie: To return to the previous trade agreement that Trump himself signed off on.

To desire nothing but a return what-once-was is incredibly shortsighted. This isn't about getting relief from tariffs is that those tariffs should never have happened in the first place. The US violated our trade agreement and, to this day, still changes its mind on what it wants almost daily. They have also made continuous threats towards our sovereignty with threats of invasion and war as well as flagrant disrespect towards our elected leader(s) and citizens.

The Canada-US relationship is over. It's done. Trying to make more deals with them is a foolish waste of time at best and a threat to our national security at worst.

Cyclist here.

We love being able to get around without the risk of being murdered or permanently disfigured by people driving cars. We will intentionally go out of our way to ride on protected routes even if it means extending our travel times.

Drivers disagree. They demand that we ride in traffic where we will slow them down, make them angry, and make them want to murder us.

And yet we are surrounded by the bones of companies and projects that were killed by private equity.

This is the end of Nexus Mods. It might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, but the cord will be cut the moment it's not suitable for the new overlords.

  • Costs $499 or
  • Made in USA

Pick one. You can't have both.

Yup. If you've ever lived in or near a tourist destination then you can probably understand why these people are upset.

People are getting ousted from their homes (usually gradually but sometimes abruptly too) in favour of people that don't even live there. It may be as small as a tourist trap displacing a local neighbourhood or as big as short-term rentals and a tourism economy pushing out the lower classes in an entire city.

Please no. One of the parts of Reddit I really hate is the amount of useless bots that clog up the comments.

Birb! Well done.

When you're new to driving and not totally comfortable with it yet - most of your brainpower will be focused on controlling and handling the vehicle and taking your attention away from that to check signage is terrifying.

This goes away with practice and experience. Eventually controlling the car will become muscle memory and you can devote your brainpower to broader observation of your surroundings and signage. Start with calm back roads, quiet residential streets, and gentle intersections. Preferably an area with a mix of things like stop signs, uncontrolled intersections, hill stops, school/play zones, crosswalks, and so on.

It can be kinda fun too as you can explore neighbourhoods you've never been to before.

You couldn't pay me to put the Walmart app on my phone, AI or not.

Firstly: Designing an appealing sports/luxury car is expensive and many companies hire skilled professionals from known design firms to help accomplish this. The design often comes first and much of the car is constructed to fit the aesthetic and theme. Cheaper vehicles are more utilitarian with a more "that'll do" attitude instead of being designed with artistic intention.

Secondly: Almost ever car maker has their own luxury brand or subsidiary. Selling cheap luxury/sports cars would undermine their own brand's prestige and market segregation. There is a reason why dedicated luxury brands will not make budget-friendly vehicles unless legally forced to.

LGR is a classic. He's a great, honest guy and runs a good channel with good content. Financed by views and memberships/Patrons; I don't think he does any sponsorship deals at all.

He's an old-school kind of Youtuber that sticks to what he does and doesn't overreach or grow too fast like so many channels do.

No, that would be the people that vote for them every single election.

 

Made in Blender, Substance Painter, and Affinity Photo! My take on some Supreme Commander fanart. I got the scale off because I couldn't find any actual measurements, but I think it looks better at this size anyway.

 

First time I have ever modelled a gun before! Made in Blender and Substance Painter.
