Of course the "enterprise" package doesn't list the prices, it just has a "Contact Sales" link.

Fellow canuck seconding this. We did it before, when we took in Vietnam war draft dodgers and similar conscientious objectors. It was a win-win for everyone involved. Let's do it again.

Deputy minister (even with adjectives) is a very powerful position in the Canadian federal bureaucracy.

I would love to read a tell-all book by Rian Johnson after he retires and no longer has to worry about pissing off entertainment industry VIPs. I strongly suspect that The Last Jedi was the victim of huge levels of executive meddling. There's some really solid ideas in that movie. My two favourites are the open critique of the Jedi in both their philosophy and actions, and calling out the military-industrial complex. But it's buried in overly-long and often-unnecessary action setpieces that bring the whole plot to a screeching halt and feel shoehorned-in - such as literally everything that happened after Ben offered Rey a partnership after the throne room fight.

Be a real shame if they found it hard to get any sleep due to extremely loud music nearby all night, every night.

Unironically, @Aliveelectricwire@hexbear.net your best bet for immigration is to marry a Canadian citizen. Even then it's a very long, drawn-out process (my family has been through it) but with the recent caps on immigration that's probably your best bet.

Sometimes I've thought ot turning my unmarried-and-bi-and-Canadian situation into a comedy video on youtube or somewhere. "Now accepting applications from desperate Americans, line forms on the left". But nowadays that feels exploitative and not very funny.

and we SHOULD NOT joke or make allusions to personnel/equipment being easy to topple because it is very SERIOUS AND POSSIBLE TO DO.

Spray around a lot of vegetable oil when retreating, understood.

Oh, feds.

Yeah, I think that everyone would have been better off if movies 7, 8, and 9 were just the Heir to the Empire trilogy. It's certainly in the spirit of the original movie trilogy. Just film it as-is, do the necessary recasting, and accept that the fans already likely know the story but want to see it anyway. Akin to the Lord of the Rings book fans coming out in droves to see the movies.

What is the ACP?

clarifying the intellectual authors of the attack

That's a fun new euphemism for "crackdown on free political expression".

Didn't CIS use slave labour in the form of sentient robots?

Especially Texas. They are effectively the nuclear weapons power within the US, as that's where the Pantex facility is.

A little known quirk of gnome biology is that that's not a hat.

The movie theatre experience makes me appreciate the hextube all the more. It's like the world's best indie theatre for free from the comfort and safety of home.

I would laugh my ass off if Trump deports him and freezes his assets.

It's actually an open question if that's even technically possible. The Chinese crewed spacecraft Shenzhou is based heavily on the Russian Soyuz, but there's very little public technical info on how much they changed the docking system.

BRB, gonna find a bathhouse and combat fascism with my cadre.

Seconded, may Alaskaball rule the conquered land with a merciless iron fist for a thousand years.

Fedora is a genuinely polished distro. I've used the KDE version on three laptops in the past few years and I've been really happy with it. It's got very good hardware compatibility, and modern KDE is a top-tier desktop environment.
