Making a vaccine for lyme disease available will help immensely—I believe there's one in clinical trials south of the border.

I suspect that Poilievre believes his supporters are more likely than average to cling to the outmoded belief that addiction is a moral failing rather than a medical issue, so it's to his benefit to demonize any and all services directed at harm reduction. (In other words, I am disgusted but not at all surprised.)

If you're going to do that, at least ask for something useful. Y'know, like "Destroy all advertising firms."

bash: sudo: command not found

After all, we don't know that he has it installed, especially if he's running a really old distro.

Reviewing it (I haven't needed to touch the setup in a good year or more), it's basically a replacement to make other code think the browser acceptability check returned true, since feeding in a fake User-Agent stopped being sufficient to pass the check a couple of years ago. One-liner, and not written by me, but I seriously hate the fact that it pushes browser monopoly.

I usually don't even turn on the TV until the teeny display on the player is showing "MENU". Achieves the same thing without requiring me to get up.

I would be more impressed if Discourse worked in my browser without using an extension to inject code changes. It also tries to forbid browsers it doesn't recognize, regardless of their ability to run its code. Plus it doesn't downgrade gracefully—you should be able to view public information in full without Javascript (I don't expect any ability to log in or manipulate content, but reading things should work, and Discourse seems to break scrolling somehow). Not impressed. Granted, I'm not sure what I would choose if I were setting up a Web forum today, since mobile is now such a Big Thing and I don't use it, but Discourse fails at things I consider basic.

Life is always much more difficult outside the box.

(Also, were these eels from New Hampshire? 'Cause it sounds like they were taking "Live free or die" to extremes.)

Seriously, though, shipping live eels in a poorly-secured box really seems like a bad idea, and rather torturous for the eels. To whom were these consigned, and what did they want them for?

What the guns might have been used for prior to the blockade, or when not present at the blockade, is not relevant. You can commit murder just as easily with a hunting rifle as with a handgun. It's just more difficult to carry the rifle concealed.

This is likely to be C&D'd as well if it ever reaches the point where it does anything useful (remember, reddit doesn't need grounds that would hold up in court to send a C&D).

The sun will freeze over before Google would give them an API.
