Yeah and she really loves her uke she bought from them. I think it's her favourite instrument these days! It has a great tone.

My wife plays a Honolua uke at our gigs pretty often. They are a Canadian company, though I just asked her and she said not everything in their catalog was homegrown back when she bought it, so you might want to check with them before ordering?

Digital services tend to be an area where the US enjoys huge trade surpluses. If that pandora's box is opened, it's going to be really bad for the tech giants when retaliatory steps are inevitably taken. I thought this was why Trump was trying to keep the tariff war focused on material goods?

I know in Canada, FB stopped serving news when they refused to contribute to a government fund to help the struggling domestic journalism industry which they were scraping content from with reckless abandon. Personally, I'm happy to see one less stifling algorithm-fed echo chamber. It's like a breath of fresh air.

I'm so looking forward to what JUICE uncovers! Europa has been centre stage and is getting its own dedicated mission, but the more we find out about those outer moons, the more fascinating they get. Ganymede is the largest in the solar system and has its own magnetic field. And Callisto being an ocean world? It wouldn't surprise me if Ganymede is also.

I guess I'm mostly a Harvey's guy as far as Canadian fast food chains are concerned. Pizza, subs, shawarma, etc. are up there too, though there are too many of those to list.

My daughter took me to Odd Burger when I was up in Ottawa and I could totally get into that if only we had one where I am.

The situation is not great in that those instances that are Canadian-oriented don't seem to have open membership. I wound up going with freediverse which is at least hosted in Canada and subscribed to Canadian channels I follow on those other instances.

That's a good point. I wouldn't mind just scanning the bar code.

Well the gist of the interview was that American intelligence services are in chaos right now after their top-level management got expelled and their "eye is no longer on the ball" in terms of threats from Russia, China, etc. with new personnel being brought in who have no clue what's going on.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as an outside observer, it seems to me you have your big oil Republicans and your fuck the government solar off grid types. When they clash, I just sit back with some popcorn.

Ouch. Well if you wanna take your chances in Canada, definitely advertise your senior COBOL dev skills! ;)

Lol yeah she's in insurance! I bet you could probably also infer from the fortran that I work for a science-y outfit.

My wife was telling me at her work they're desperate for cobol programmers, as they're all retiring boomers leaving behind a giant code base. At my work, it's legacy fortran that's all over the place, but we're a much smaller company.
