Anyone who knows me knows I am in no way a royalist and also think the monarchy is pointless.... But I'd rather be forced to pledge allegiance to the King every day for the rest of my life than become the 51st state.

My Samsung S23 Ultra is way more responsive on Android 15 / OneUI 7. Any other concerns I COULD have with the change are secondary to this. I am actively in the process of deciding whether to keep this or upgrade and this performance increase might have made me change my mind to keep it.

I can't believe how many people seem mad about the split panel change in Samsung OneUI7. First - you can change it back.... but second, I can see the appeal on having two different panels if you review notifications regularly. Why take up part of the screen with settings when reading them?

One of my issues with the #Voyager finale is that through the series we see different alternative futures yet after 7 season we never get to see how the crew get home on their own. Instead we get an alternative reality rescue mission. TLDR: Voyager never actually finds their way home in the series.

Was served a Newsome California tourism ad targeting Canadians - message of not letting Washington impact travel to Cal. Even a Democrat playing nice can't get past the US bias to realize the reasons that many won't spend our tourism $ on the US AND have actual fears about stepping into the country.

Hey Y’All! I haven’t been posting much this year because work entered the Twilight Zone and has been taking most of my time 7 days a week. I haven’t been posting much because I’m not sure where to post with all the changes in social media. But I’m still here. And I’ll be on more episodes soon.

One problem is that many of these American politicians don't seem to understand that some countries don't want certain US products. These same politicians stripped women of their rights claiming it was a state issue, yet they take issue when another country has different food standards.

It'll be interesting to see influencers reaction to the tariffs. I've paid my fair share of ridiculous fees (including brokerage fees) on international gifts from people, so I imagine that it'll be the same for influencers. Suddenly free stuff isn't so free for them.

There is zero chance I would even risk stepping foot into the US right now as a Canadian.

Release wise the order may have been TNG, DS9 and Voyager, but the order of series re-watch ability is the opposite. I'll die on that hill.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

I completely missed this. Whilst I think Matter continues to be a bit of a fizzle, it's GREAT that Home Assistant is officially certified. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2025/03/10/matter-certification/

It is absolutely infuriating that people will aggressively argue their point without actually understanding the most basic concept of how a tariff works.

submitted 103 days ago • 0 comments

Personally, I believe the theory that the tariffs aren't the primary driving reason for tone shift in Canada towards the US. Yes, it's a contributing factor, but I agree it's the disrespect and threat toward our sovereignty that is bigger. Display of our flag has massively increased in recent weeks.

How many times have you seen a business turn bad because of the decisions by the ones leading it. While you may know of good people still working for it, the company's broader actions make it very difficult for you you to see past the negative; you may even start boycotting it if you feel strongly.

You bet your ass that I'm ok that my shopping takes longer than it did two months ago, just because I check labels frequently to avoid US products where practical.

Hey everyone. Due to circumstances out of our control, the return of Better Podcasting has to be unexpectedly delayed. @stargatepioneer.bsky.social and I are assessing the variables at play, but there's a chance this might a longer delay than we'd like. We will update when we have a better idea.

I have no desire to be an American. Some people are going to read that and take offense. Others are going to be completely confused why I wouldn't want to be. These types of reactions are why I take 51st state talk seriously. Done right, Patriotism can be manipulated as a propaganda tool.

Hey Better Podcasting folks. Assuming all goes well, @stargatepioneer.bsky.social and I will return recording Better Podcasting next week. Day tbd. We are optimistic that toward the end of March we will have a (mostly) consistent livestream day.

Let's be clear on something: When Orange Turd & Associates casually refer to Canada as the 51st state, or casually call the Prime Minister a Governor, it's not only offensive and disrespectful, it's also an obvious act of conditioning.

Elon calls "unnecessary spending" fraud. You know what else is "unnecessary"? The ISS. Better pull all the astronauts back home and cancel that future SpaceX contract FRAUD. Or are those not "fraud"? (If you didn't pick up on it, I put the word in quotation marks for a reason)
