… was laid to rest …

Thanks for sharing. I have to say that the article has a heavy slant towards why we should be concerned with this policy (and we should, there are some very valid questions raised), without addressing the elephant in the room, of Chinese government interference in Canada.

It doesn’t help that the authors get some very easy details wrong, like:

The pushback is in reaction to the New Policy on Sensitive Technology Research and Affiliations of Concern (hereafter New Policy) announced by the ministers of Health, Public Security, and ISEC (Innovation, Science and Economic Development) in January. The policy prohibits research collaboration with Named Research Organizations in Sensitive Technology Research Areas

That should be Public Safety, and ISED.

Oh, c’mon, give a little credit.

Mikhail, or Ivan, or whoever put a little effort into that one!

I take your point, except that it’s the PPS, and not the OPS that have jurisdiction on the hill. According to the article, the RCMP apparently want them to be limited to checking bags for visitors.

It’s a weird take, and a bit of a territory grab.

100%. The Conservative party is currently leading polls here in Canada because of the unpopularity of Justin Trudeau.

The Conservative party are also conspiracy-loving, reality-denying loonies like the Republicans, but since “we’re Canada”, and “it can’t happen here”, they’ll probably form the government next year.

"A New York City medical school will be tuition-free for all students from now on thanks to a $1 billion donation from a former professor, the widow of a Wall Street investor.

…

The gift is intended to attract a diverse pool of applicants who otherwise might not have the means to attend"

Anyone else feeling deflated?

Interesting topic! I guess I’ve only semi-consciously thought about it over the years, and I’m a pretty simple guy: I prefer a textured, softer pick for playing acoustic guitar, and a firm, smooth one for electric.

Are there any better ways to select the right pick?

Can’t just do the right thing - have to make a political game of chicken with it 🤬

With the way things have been going, get a skate in while you can! Who knows if it will even open next year.

That was a fascinating story. A bright kid, with a sad ending.

That’s where I keep all my stuff!"

The MAGAs are winning, even here.

Good!

If only we could go after the individuals responsible for making the decisions too…

Didn’t think I would watch a half hour video about LEDs, but that was really well presented. Couldn’t stop 😂

Thank you 🙂

Great job! Any recommendations on any used parts sites that you found useful?

Oh great, just what we need in Canada: Republican culture wars

Thank you!
