Bystanders in fearful respect

in 1986, mountain bikes were making their mark in Canada, as cyclists swapped out their 10-speeds for more rugged rides. This CBC news segment from The National explores the early days of the mountain biking craze, featuring enthusiasts like Ian K., who traded his Volkswagen-like commuter for an $800 mountain bike, likening it to driving a Porsche. While the trend was just beginning, the piece questions whether mountain biking would remain a luxury niche or become a mainstream activity as prices dropped and mass availability rose. Originally aired on May 26, 1986.

Good person! This is how you learn Linux and gain experience. Trying to understand why something happened and trying to fix it using that understanding. Not "just reinstall" or worse "you should use X distro instead."

Agreed. I'm riding a similar bike myself, except it's steel and has riser bars.

For a while. But the modern gravel bikes that are super popular around here are essentially 90s MTBs with 700c wheels and drop bars. So it's kinda back. 😂

They're talking about the MTB getting into cities, so yeah. 😀

Or that businesses that employ people in the classic employer-employee way are effectively price-fixing the labor market. The larger they are, the stronger the effect.

You're observing a snapshot period and confusing it for the whole.

So is this helping or hurting Harris?

The fact that they're even going down this path, vilifying people's pensions is fucking disgusting. As if a pension should be some sort of a luxury. This should be used to clap straight back at PP in the form of standing up for more people to have pensions, not fewer.

And they managed to do that with those lazy US workers? Wow.

E: folks, pls look up TSMC bosses' statements on American workers' ethic

All decent DP KVMs are very expensive. I got an IOGEAR which is a rebranded Aten. It was also in the same price range. Who knew high resolution needs high bandwidth and high bandwidth signaling and switching is hard..

Someone has been reading MMT. Nice. 👍

 

In the absence of these important policy proposals, there is evidently some apprehension among Canadians. Half (46%) say they are “fearful” of the CPC forming government, while fewer (35%) anticipate it with hope. A majority (54%) suspect Poilievre and the CPC have a “hidden agenda” that won’t be revealed until after the party wins the elections.

There is also some doubt that a Poilievre-led government can balance the budget and lower income taxes as promised, even if most view them to be “good things”. More than two-in-five (45%) say neither will happen.

 
 

Over the years, Live Nation has also been buying up independent local venues. The company currently owns several concert halls in Canada: the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver; Midway in Edmonton; and Budweiser Stage, Danforth Music Hall, History, RBC Echo Beach, Velvet Underground, and most recently, The Opera House in Toronto.

 
 

The Teamsters union has served Canadian National Railway (CN) with a 72-hour strike notice, hours after saying it was taking down picket lines and workers were returning to the job.

 

Albertan minister, a Chamber of Commerce guy and a CN rail official. No union representation. This is a bit shameful from the CBC. At least the interviewer did ask a few questions on behalf of labor.

 

I asked a relative to look for RealVNC on the Play Store and install it. Once they were done, I asked them to fulfill a basic task inside RealVNC and they were really confused by my instructions. I took a look at their phone, lo and behold, they had installed a different app. I asked them to repeat the install procedure while I watched. They punched in "realvnc" in the search box, two identically formatted results appeared. Their finger instinctively clicked the Install button on the top result. It was an ad. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦

 

Labour Minister Randy Boissonnault is considering "a refusal to process in the low wage stream if the abuse and misuse does not improve," said labour ministry spokesperson Mathis Denis.

Considering eh?
