It’s actually starting with the 8 unfortunately. If you’re willing to go used you can probably get an 8a for ~$400.

Off to Guantanamo he goes!

To add to this, I don't think the Carney polls are being factored into the 338 model, because they're "what if" polls, and don't reflect voter intentions today. If Carney wins we will probably see even more of a drop in the following weeks.

This from the guy who wears oversized cowboy hats and undersized t-shirts to cosplay as "rural".

There is lots more detail in the full news release link at the bottom of the page. It's going a bit over my head right now though.

Not only that, climate change is making it more French. We truly live in the worst timeline

I hadn't heard about using the headers to check for spoofed emails before. Here's more information on how to do it for anyone else who's curious.

The next paragraph after the screenshot is also important:

At the first sitting of the House after an election, the members of each recognized party vote on whether any or all of the sets should apply to their caucuses. The provisions only applying to the caucuses that approve them was another compromise to ensure passage of the Act. The approval of the provisions by the caucuses is binding until Parliament dissolves, after which another vote is held.

The Liberals did not vote to approve the provisions, so this can't be used to remove Trudeau.

If your city is only designed for drivers, it's no surprise that people will want to drive places. When you remove parking minimums, you also need to prioritize transit and micromobility accessibility, so people are actually incentivized to switch modes. Cities can and are making this shift successfully: here's one example.

You really ought to get on the mathfinder train

They are more privacy focused, but they are not "better" in an unqualified way. Mullvad and Tor especially are not recommendable for daily usage without significant asterisks, they have some features disabled and if you modify their settings at all, add extensions, or even log in to websites, you ruin their anonymity features.

Librewolf is nice, but it's basically just Firefox with Arkenfox pre-applied, and it lacks automatic updates which are important for security. If you have a package manager that's better, but by definition you'll still get updates slower than using Firefox and applying Arkenfox yourself. For instance Firefox 129 released on August 6, Librewolf 129 on August 10.
