Stephen Poloz — who is now a special adviser at Osler, Hoskins and Harcourt — said growth in Canada is only at about one per cent, and the economy is still “digesting” U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff regime.

I'm not an economist so what I'm about to say it going to show:

Why is growth that important? Like everything it seems healthy once we reach a certain point to stop growing no? Or did we trap ourselves in a system like quicksand that requires us to grow taller in order not to suffocate?

Personnally I would love for things that work well, to remain the same and not seek to juice more money out of it.

I only noticed now but this slob is being compared to the devil. And he constantly makes the shitiest deals. One would say he is obsessed with winning deals.

Copislop is that you? Are you in the room with us?

If you blink really fast the heat generated by your eyelids makes a very bright light that is very similar to sun rays.

Fortunately for us the 4 astronauts were very well trained with this technique so they each took turns at lighting up the moon while the others took photographs.

In other news it was probably not a good idea to call it the dark side of the moon hence why it's refer to as the far side of the moon.

Good luck with the blinking, stay hydrated.

I'll be the actually guy because it's pretty cool but there's no fuel needed for the return since the moon's gravity did the job to turn around Orion and with inertia plus Earth gravity Orion will essentially fall back to Earth.

The whole thing is actually quite similar to throwing a ball in the air, it goes up slowing down until it turns around and comes back to you. On a different scale but the idea is quite similar so the only energy truly needed is the initial push (plus a few trajectory adjustement).

Government-wise I agree. Including companies that are funded fully or partially by the government.

But as soon as you look at the private sector in Canada it's "USA USA!" chanting in unison. Canada is mostly socialist whilst having obsene and depraved capitalistic private companies.

I'm smelling a strong pushback from them if Canada get's closer to EU.

Hence why election should be about the candidate's program and never about dissing on the opposing candidates it's so backwards that it's even allowed to build your campain on talking about your opposition.

Please avoid calling people dumb on the internet. And whatever you just said about not being transparent and the reason for it is so short sightest I'm honnestly wondering if you know what you are saying.

From the article I shared:

“I would never be happy accepting a workaround and flying something that I know is the worst version of that heat shield we could possibly fly and hoping that the workaround is going to fix it,” Camarda said. “What I really hope he [Isaacman] gets is that if we don’t get back to doing research at NASA, we’re not going to be able to help Starship solve their problems. We’ve got to get back to doing research.”

You honesfly think the new re-entry trajectory is not a workaround? Do you work there? Please provide some source. Sorry I forgot, I'm too dumb to understand, I don't deserve full description of the issues.

Actually there is a non zero chance Orion burns completely during re-entry.

Couldn't fix the faulty design of the heat shield from Artemis 1. So they will try a different re-entry trajectory to minimize the heat lol.

Did they really claim that they are for entertainment only when they got accused of doing propaganda?

In before Trumps tries to claim he raped children for entertainment only.

That's literary the number one feature of capitalism. It only benefits the people who have capital and as times goes on the people who do have more capital get more and people who have less capital get less, rinse and repeat until you reach feodalism lol.

 

I installed Linux Mint Cinnamom.

I'm am hard stuck finding any kind of way of making wine useful. It seems every single attemp of using wine just failed.

I have tried both 32 and 64, changing settings with winetrick to windows 10 and installed required DLL for each of the following apps.

TrackIR Software (I can install the sofware but the driver of the camera just won't install, I also tried a linix alternative Linuxtrack but I can't install webqt as I believe it's only for AMD and I have an NVIDIA)

iCUE (Needed for corsair mouse otherwise I have no other way of changing it's settings)

MSI Afterburner (I need something to limit my GPU temp)

Vortex (this one seems like it would be easy but the app just blinks white even after installing .net 6.0 and setting wine to windows 10)

And lastly the Stream deck.

I would really really appreciate any help for any of those things. That's a lot of painpoint for a first day on Linux but I'm not giving up.

I'm not against changing distro if that's a solution. But I would really prefer avoiding VMs.

Thank you for reading up to here!
