I too wish the developer would respond, but I don’t think this is the catastrophe people are making it out to be. One comment seems to explain why these binaries are included:

Because ventoy supports shim, and by extension secure boot, these files needs to come from a signed Linux distro. In this case they are taken from Fedora releases, and OpenSUSE apparently, as they publish shim binaries and grub binaries signed by their certificate.

Almost certainly not, but I’m just trying to point out it’s not a hardware limitation. Though, if it was installed remotely, they would probably have issues printing locally.

You’re not completely wrong, as they also have thin clients which should be technically capable of running a word processor. It’s just a question of whether the prison is going to implement that no/low-cost solution.

Yes, I literally am a government employee, and formerly worked in the military in Radio Comms and IT, often with Top Secret communications and infrastructure . I am intimately familiar with government procedures and limitations.

I never said that end-users would be setting up LibreOffice. I’m just pointing out there’s a low/no-cost solution, and it isn’t a hardware limitation.

The thin clients should be capable of running LibreOffice, or at least running it remotely.

They’ve said, in an emergency, they could get everyone into the other crafts.

No, I didn’t validate your question, just clarified why you were confused. “A magnitude less” is hyperbole and therefore clearly an opinion.

Sorry if it wasn’t clear, maybe I should have said, “I feel the harassment would have been a magnitude less.” The rest is pretty provable, in that Drumpf & Co. have been spewing hate and even threatening violence in some cases, while Democrats have general spoken up against violence.

I’m not sure what flagrant fouls have to do with being racist?

Sure, but

1. She didn’t endorse Harris

2. If she did endorse Trump, the harassment would have been a magnitude less. Individuals will be individuals, but the leaders of one group are denouncing harassment and violence while the leaders of the other group are inciting it.

One thing the article doesn’t mention, is Caitlin Clark’s place as a white woman in a sport dominated by black athletes, and the segment of her fans that she might eventually have to disown. For example, there’s an under-current of racism in the drama between her and Angel Reese.

Sue Bird had similar experiences but a generation or so earlier. Of course, there was less social media when she was a young player, and a lot less focus of women’s basketball. Even still, there was a lot of dog-whistle language about how, “she played the game the right way,” or how, “she’s an upstanding citizen.” Of course, Bird eventually came out which made some of those fans leave on their own.

only national, provincial, and municipal flags should be flown at municipal facilities or flagpoles

I know this is pretty off-topic, but I found this part funny when one of my municipal Councillors proposed a similar bylaw (which thankfully failed). In Canada, municipal governments are creatures of the province, and the provinces have entered into confederation. By their logic, we shouldn’t be flying Canadian flags as the country has no direct relation to the municipality.

The article doesn’t say anything about pensions. Are you confusing UPS with USPS?

First off, not an officer, a high ranking enlisted(E-8) personal was the culprit.

Typically, anything E-4 or higher is considered a Non-Commisioned Officer.

EDIT further clarification: from my experience in the Canadian Army, what “Officers” means depends on context. Most often (and what [email protected] probably meant) it means just Commissioned Officers. Other times, it’s anyone in leadership, including NCOs.

the younger generation loves the game and the older set hate the noise.

That only makes sense if the “older generation” is the silent/greatest generation because 95% of people I see playing pickle ball are baby boomers.

I completely agree that alcoholism is a disease, and as with any other disease, we have to look at the survivability if she got the transplant.

Let’s be honest, while the article tries to be favourable to the patient, you can piece together the facts and see that her odds weren’t good. While she’s been sober since she got the diagnosis, it appears she was immediately hospitalised which tells us she was in very rough shape and has only been sober while in the hospital. Even if she was able to stay sober, it looks like the odds with a partial transplant aren’t great.

The comparison is apples and oranges. They only include the cost of the surgery itself, not the cost of after-surgical care, the potential cost of complications to both the patient and the donor, etc. Then there’s the cost if the partial liver donation doesn’t take, or if the patient relapses.

Obviously, there’s also a lot of potential upside to having the patient survive, I just don’t think the odds of that were all that high.

Because, it’s a risk-reward calculation. If the patient doesn’t qualify for transplant, then the expected risk outweighs the expected reward. In this case, the risk isn’t just to the patient, but also the donor, and by extension, the medical system itself.

Jesus Christ that’s fucked up. Only 36 too and stopped drinking…

From the article:

Amanda Huska died Aug. 15 after spending six months in an Oakville, Ont. hospital.

and:

Huska, he said, stopped drinking as soon as she was diagnosed with Alcohol Liver Disease on March 3

So that sounds like she was immediately admitted (which implies she was already very sick) and only was sober in the hospital. In my opinion, that doesn’t qualify for “stopped drinking” and unfortunately she didn’t get a chance to prove whether or not she was actually able to stop.

I think it’s less of “goaded him into it” and more of “predicted it”. As others have pointed out, messing with unions is a red-line for the NDP.
