It seems he does. Maybe he just hates regulations (though it seems like he understands them)….. it’s just a weird opinion he has I guess.

Good choice in flashlights, motorcycles and stuff like that though so I’m reserving actual judgment here that he actually obeys OHSA even if he hates it. At least I hope so…

Twitter was invaluable for quick organizing (IMO that’s the reason it was destroyed) and the American holiday tweets are something I will sorely miss. However, I never made any real human connections there, and like you, my anxiety was through the roof. I cut the cord, so to speak, months before Mersk even floated the idea. I am a much more relaxed person now.

> That make up the traditional tornado alley and then a 4th one across the rust belt south of the great lakes to the appalachians.

There is definitely one running into the South side of the Great Lakes in Michigan that people gotta pay more attention to on both the USA side and Canadian sides. With the east coast being plagued with more hot and humid summers as of late and the Great Lakes feeding the humidity, the rust belt and the St Laurence corridor in Canada is starting to get spicy. I live in Canada but when Michigan gets hit by a tornado, we start paying attention as it means that we're in for some shit within 3-6 hours as anything that hits near Detroit, will absolutely come up the St Laurence corridor and potentially affect approx. 56% of Canada's total population within 6-10 hours.

For example: The same storm system that dropped a tornado in Michigan last May that was EF2-EF3 later on dumped the strongest and most violent derecho we'd ever seen in Canada that killed 20+ people across Ontario and Quebec.

Im definitely keeping an eye to the skies this summer again as I can't trust the Canadian weather alert system. Its horrible compared to the NWS' alerts and with fast moving storms like that derecho, some only had a 2 min warning to GTFO inside and it wasn't enough along with the weather channels not knowing wtf was happening when you can clearly see its a Derecho on the doppler radars...

The technology age was really important for this, and the Internet is still quite young. I live in Canada. If I was born 100 years ago and this happened then, there'd be no chance in hell that I heard about this war at all, and even if I did somehow I would never get the view of it that I have today. I wouldn't have been able to see the videos. I wouldn't have been able to talk to others around the globe about it and try to raise support and awareness.

I'd just be some nobody in my country who hears about something happening in some place I never hear about and will never have to go to. It'd almost be as if it wasn't happening from my perpsective.

That is not a of serious suggestion or else you don't need nuclear bombs to accomplish it. Also it would only make sense in this context if the suggestion for fixing Twitter was to end the service all together. I am not sure why you are so set against the content moderation that so obviously working before the Musk takeover of Twitter.

This is why it’s so important for us to bond with our Allie’s even if we have big differences. We need to send Putin and long and clear message. You will not extend past the ukraine. Finland is an amazing country, they’re our friends and they deserve to be part of this.
