You may not be old enough to pull this off, but you can always claim "I'm a Mac user, not a robot dammit" -- the ability to insert em dashes (along with other typographical flourishes) was kind of a big cleavage point between the creative different-thinkers and the sweaty geeks/corporate drones going back to the 80s.
This claim will be more credible if you format everything in Garamond Narrow.

Maybe, I don't really know -- but that just kicks the cat down the road in that the only evidence for that is "Mark Carney says so"; Poillievre was talking just as tough as anybody else on Trump.

"I am the only guy who can deal with Trump", confidently stated, just swung the Canadian election -- so I don't think it's necessarily plague related.
A pure article of faith, divorced from any call to action or doomsaying.
Isn't this just a fad? Fads are a thing.

Seems like Yahoo's fact checking/editing department
I'm pretty sure that's not a thing -- it says at the bottom that the 'article' is reposted directly from "WhereIsTheBuzz.com" -- which looks about like what you'd expect. Highly unlikely that Yahoo is fact-checking anything; their role as a slop aggregator could use some more scrutiny I guess, but this article doesn't seem much different than their standard run of human slop to me.

Not only that, but if you bring up the economic consequences of the response (which we are certainly feeling today), they just say "oh well, you can't blame <govt X> for that, everyone else did the same thing" -- like, yeah -- that's the whole point: EVERYONE IN THE GNWO TURNED INTO A BUNCH OF RETARDS AT THE DROP OF A HAT. Seems like something worth talking about, but I guess not.

I think I agree -- if they'd kept up with the rural wing instead of going all-in on urban progressivism, gay/gun stuff, etc there might be a small niche for them. Very candidate dependent though.

I think I see -- yes, that would be a good place to caulk. Reno guys around here typically come from the outside, I was confused.
You could test fit and get your shims (at least the bottom) figured out first I guess, but I think you'll have lots of time. Probably don't need any super high performance caulk in there -- you should use pretty good product for the outer bead, so that space will be dry and dark.

If you're going to do it this way you need to include fake Texas.
Probably helpful to keep in mind that a big chunk of the population operates under an even simpler system: World Class City and Rest Of Canada.

This is right on -- comparing some riding level results with 2021, it looks an awful lot like significant NDP support went to all the way to the Conservative side this time. Of course votes are fungible, so there was maybe some 3-way swapping -- but it Liberals did not pick up anything like all of the NDP losses, and somehow it's much easier for me to imagine a pissed-off NDPer voting for PP than a long-term Grit shifting that way. (to be replaced by a centre-leaning NDPer presumably)

New construction usually just spray foams from the inside (low-expansion kind) after installation -- depends a bit what your reno situation is.
What are you trying to accomplish with this sealant exactly? I do think I've seen guys slap some sort of cheap latex on there before installation; open time on that is plenty to get your shimming done. I've never been sure what the point was supposed to be though.

I don't know what happened, but it seems that a lot of people who had a very broad definition of free speech switched to a very precise and restricted one.
Name three.

What he’s doing is making it (even) more expensive to manufacture a phone in US
Good thing nobody manufactures phones in the US then, eh?

Our closest and friendliest neighbor economically and geographically has been pushed away
Please don't mistake politicking for reality -- we are right here and not going anywhere. (not least, but not only -- because we can't)

solar panels etc from Chinese sanctions
That would be kind of a big deal -- solar panels in particular from China have been heavily tarifFed for years and years, despite that there's really no domestic industry in that area.
Are you saying that Trump is now reducing those tariffs? I don't think that's true.

Certainly that's what the people that hate him say -- I don't know myself though; it's entirely possible that his position is more nuanced than "all vaccines are bad".

Did you get a chance to do any ski mountaineering yet? You'll find that nothing is 'good' on the flats if you are breaking trail.
As for crampons, the ones I know about attach more to the binding than the ski, and I'm sure I've seen ones fat enough to go on those skis -- but if you are climbing anything too steep for the skins on a solo trip like that, you have made some bad choices. (like, untenably bad -- as distinct from the background level of bad choices involved in the whole project)

Nissan is a great value for the money and Kia is the cheapest on the American market, after all.
No problems there:

Cars have been tariffed for a long time of course -- if anything it's a POC that tariffs can produce the desired effect. (onshoring manufacturing)

I found this too -- I don't normally put cream in my coffee anyways, so a bit of Jameson's seems like a strictly superior experience.

And in the rat-o-sphere there were all the effortposts about "sixties-era MAD/nuclear winter stuff was based on false premises, sure we'd get our hair mussed a little, but check out this fallout map..." -- truly nowhere is beyond their reach.

This is such a weird argument, and yet people keep making it -- you don't really need to go anywhere near Greenland for even the wildest possible zero-icecap routes, but do you know where you do need to go?
Spitting distance of Alaska is where -- I guess Johnson was ahead of the game on the whole AGW thing.
It helps if you have a bookshelf like this:
