I was going to reply to @clacke's original post that I've seen both CDNpoli and slightly fewer CANpoli hashtags (I subscribe to both), as well as CNDpoli -- probably for "Canada Poli". But now @lnxw48a1 pops in with *currency* abbreviations, and that's properly represented as $4.50CAD (maybe "CAnadian Dollar"?) So should there also be a CADpoli? --Bob.

But you're right that it makes things confusing. How does one know which abbreviation to use in which context. Maybe we should just use "FZN" for "Frozen Northland". (I'm joking.) CC: @bobjonkman

Nora was my campaign manager for the 2019 federal election. Nora was highly qualified for this, as she had previous run in the federal elections in 2011 and 2008 gaining 7% of the vote, the highest ever achieved by a Green Party candidate in Brantford-Brant. During the 2019 campaign Nora was indefatigable. She came along on all the door-to-door trips, every debate, filled in my gaps during media interviews, and greeted everyone at every festival and fair. Nora knew everyone, and everyone knew Nora. Nora was not only a good political mentor, but a fashion consultant as well. Early in the campaign she said “You’ll never win the election with those baggy pants”, and I had to update my wardrobe. Whether it was Nora’s political acumen or good fashion sense, it resulted in a good election campaign. The funeral service will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday, 20 January 2024 at at First United Church, 16 William Street West, Waterloo Map: https://osm.org/go/ZXna93l7--?m= https://bobjonkman.ca/2024/01/20/nora-fueten-1940-2024/ https://gs.jonkman.ca/attachment/222322

No, you were leading in the polls pretty much the whole time. You're in a strongly conservative province.

But people voting the same way the polls said they would isn't a miracle. If the UCP ran with a saner leader, they probably would have won by a lot more.

I had a fight with UEFI on $SPOUSE's new laptop, where it wouldn't boot from USB no matter what I tried. There were no EFI files set up to allow booting from anything other than Windows, Windows Recovery, or UEFI firmware upgrade. But the laptop recognized an EFI file on the Ventoy thumbdrive, so I could boot the laptop, press F2 like a madman to enter the setup, reconfigure the boot setup to use the Ventoy's EFI, then reboot again, now from the thumbdrive into the Ventoy selector screen. But then I had reason to boot into Windows again (so reboot, mad F2s, reconfigure, reboot) but stupidly left the Ventoy thumbdrive connected. When I was done with Windows I rebooted, mad F2s, but now the Ventoy EFI file was gone. I had to re-flash the thumbdrive with a fresh copy of Ventoy-UEFI to make it come back. Now the laptop boots directly into Debian. I wonder the Debian EFI option will be wiped if $SPOUSE ever decides to boot into Windows again...

I've used it a couple of times already. But recently, I was using it on the new Armbian installation on the #Orange_Pi_5 and ran into an issue: * It sets up the flash drive using ExFAT as the file system. The instructions say you can change it later, but I never found that option. * The current set of OS installable programs (Armbian, but I presume Debian / Devuan / Ubuntu / Mint will be the same) does not include a version of mount that handles exfat. That was in the now-deprecated older package. * Turns out that Ventoy has a binary executable that I was able to copy into my path and use, so now S will receive a USB flash drive with 3 live distros (Debian, Ubuntu Desktop, CentOS Stream) and one direct installer (Ubuntu Server) on it. I was tempted to add ReactOS, just so she'd see the difference between trying to clone a proprietary system without being sued is versus writing as desired. But I know she's just doing this so she'll have a passing familiarity and be able to check that box on some HR department's screening software's checklist. #ReactOS certainly will not help there.

I've been on the side of "peace from both sides", but I can see the progression that you lay out.2023-03-19T16:00:33-04:00Bob Jonkmanbobjonkman: RT @lnxw48a1 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64986744 [www bbc co uk] #Turkiye leader Erdogan signals approval of #Finland joining #NATO ... still hesitant on #Sweden's application After the fall of the USSR, I was in favor of abolishing NATO. Frankly, I was too idealistic. I imagined Europe becoming a sort of demilitarized zone but without conflicting armies on each side of said zone. But clearly, I was wrong. People grumble about additional countries joining, and I say that those countries must have felt the danger growing. They could have steered a course that did not put them in union with either the "Western nations" nor the "former Soviet bloc" ... but instead, many sought to join the European Union ... an imperfect democracy, but still more democratic than what they saw on their Eastern borders. And even the EU, a non-military nation of nations, wasn't always enough. So when #Poland and #Slovakia, both former Eastern Bloc / CENTO members, joined NATO, I don't see it as them being under the sway of Washington and Brussels, but them seeing something menacing to the East of them and wanting to join with a force large enough to meet and exceed that menace's force. That's also why #Ukraine (which *twice* forced out governments because their leaders wanted to remain in #Russia's orbit) also applied to join both the #European_Union and #NATO ... despite NATO's clear intention never to admit them to its membership. So when Finland and Sweden finally decided that the threat of invasion was greater than their longstanding neutral stances could overcome, they too applied to join NATO. Not because they want to lengthen the war, but because they clearly see that war is coming their way whether they want it or not, and that they need to prepare for it. And I think this is something anti-war folks need to understand. You're too late to stop the war. The war is here and Mr Putin and his cronies intend to expand it until people in Berlin and Paris have to either fight or beg for mercy. He's already trying to find excuses to engulf #Moldova in the fighting. Whether Russia's leaders are motivated by empire or paranoia, they're looking to expand the war to other nations, not to end it. And thus, any negotiated settlement that doesn't flow from kicking their forces entirely out of Ukraine will be a temporary pause while they rebuild their forces and try to integrate what they've learned from the current war.

Sometime about 30 years ago some kind of piping was added to it, so now the water comes out of a pipe a distance above the ground. People would fill their water cooler bottles there. About 10 years ago a sign was put up "This is not potable water". Now there are fewer people filling bottles, but it hasn't stopped everyone. I often bike past it, but I've never filled my biking water bottle. Like LinuxWalt, I don't trust mysterious water, even it does come out of a pipe.
