As someone who moved from a province with flouride to one without it in the water, no flouride in the water is a greedy dentists wet dream.

Never had a cavity but now without flouride they just keep coming.

When you are hungry and have had to resort to a less desirable food source, the time for research and development becomes available.

Lol, lost the internet because they have less DCs?

Meanwhile most of America is still on dialup or early 2000s broadband speeds.

This is a fucking shallow definition of winning.

Every banana in existence is in this picture.

Hahaha, Canada has so much booze. We have a ton of fine ryes and most of the best booze comes from the EU/UK anyway. We also get a lot of south american and Aussie wines.

We didn’t need the US, their booze was just cheaper. Then trump fixed that.

Anyone contributing to open source either does it:

• on their companies dime, which means they work for a rare company building open source solutions
• at the end of their day, on their weekend, or during their vacation

Most FOSS devs are in position two. By a large margin. They could be relaxing, or earning more money doing freelancing to make ends meet, but instead they are trying to build something they want to see happen. That requires focusing on the important tasks and that often means not having time to spend on poorly reported bugs that are actually users just not RTFM and opening issues. It wastes the devs time, and projects with too much of this have development stagnate and are frequently shuttered.

And devs that just do this to get a better job stop contributions once their new job takes over their life, and then the project suffers.

Users need to appreciate FOSS devs more because some of the most important projects we need in 2025 are developed only because they want to see them happen.

The conservative party is openly against indigenous rights so I’m not sure what your argument is here.

Unless you are arguing Alberta should be voting Green Party, in which case I’m with you.

Same. Hopefully they actually do something, and hopefully all the old folks don’t default to first past the post if we do vote on it like they did in BC, largely because they couldn’t be bothered to lean how any of the proportional representation options work.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s government is increasing how much it costs to apply for a citizen-initiated referendum by 5,000 per cent, saying it’s about making sure applicants are upper class instead of annoying street urchins.

There; fixed it for ya, Danielle.

Oh sorry, just realized we are talking app servers.

Yeah, Google apps, and linux hosted apps. Havent had a company that ran windows or MS anything in 14 years.

Mac, actually. Its a different kind of bad. At least I can use many of the same cli tools.

Its also trained on stolen data, artists work without their permission. AI training, even for the offline models, uses massive amounts of electricity and water and is currently accelerating climate around the world as well as unaffordability as demand for water and electricity cause prices to skyrocket. At the same time its accellerating the unaffordability of personal computing, including phones, and threatening to remove open PC hardware platforms by removing direct access to affordable DIY hardware.

On the other side of this, continued use and justification of LLMs existence is enabling the founding of mass surveillance and control systems that will be the foundation for totaltarian states, while at the same time enabling the rich to manipulate and control truth. And because of randomized token tie breaking, anything that comes out of it is only partially correct even when its one of the 30% of the times the reply is partially useful.

And - on top of all of that, you are nerfing your own skills and brainpower everytime you use it, in addition to having it do something for you that you could be learning yourself, which would have increased your existing skills while teaching you a new one.

AI is a horrible technology, doesn’t matter where you run it.

But what style is a Ball Jar?

If Ball makes a Mason jar, its still a Mason jar, so are all other jars made by Ball just ambiguously “Ball” jars? Or is there a specific design that is referred to as a Ball jar?

The style is called a Mason jar because John Mason came up with it and made it popular. This is called a Mason jar for this reason.

John Mason was from New Jersey. What does Muncie IL have to do with the Mason jar style?

Lets fucking hope not.

I didn’t see a link to the recipe so I did not have the context you do.

That context would have changed my response.

Maybe you have a point there. Hard to tell. They would be much better as plantains.

They have to be if you consider the size compared to the pan. Cavendish don’t get that large in diameter.

Or they are plantains, not Cavendish.

Thos appear to be Plantains, not the typical yellow cavendish you buy.

Plantains are not sweet, but starchy like a potato, which means this is likely delicious.
