So did Viet Nam, right?

Cool Pravda Propaganda, Ivan.

It’s not a stretch to say Russia has extended enough ‘good will gestures’ in this conflict. In short, the US is asking Russia for a big favor.

Lol. Lmao, even.

We should start with Civil Defence Corps training.

You don’t need to, Canada gives it at steep discounts already.

“We are unabashedly pursuing a [RUSSIAN] policy of more American energy production and infrastructure, not less,”

FTFY, Murca

In the future, there will be no history except Krasnov’s.

China already has nukes. Come to Canada, man.

The ICC has been investigating mass killings in crackdowns overseen by Duterte when he served as mayor of the southern Philippine city of Davao and later as president. Estimates of the death toll of the crackdown during Duterte’s presidential term vary, from the more than 6,000 that the national police have reported up to 30,000 claimed by human rights groups.

I remember hearing about the situation with Duterte a long time ago. It must have been hell to put up with a government which seemed determined to destroy some of its weakest. I hope things are better in the Phillipines now, and continue to get better!

First in school shootings.

You like that nussy, huh.

“I will immediately bring prices down starting on Day 1,” he said on Aug. 15, for example. “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down,” he promised later that same month.

He backed away from that last month.

Everything’s normal. This is what you voted for, Murca!

ETA For those following these comments:

Hanlon’s razor is an adage or rule of thumb that states: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Given the track record of those in the current ruling class of Murca, I agree with those comments which suggest we can exchange the placement of “malice” and “stupidity”.

Krasnov just DGAF about the plebs who voted for him, at best. At worst, he’s actively destroying the economy, democracy, and the plebs he lied to.

Preach. The issue with just presenting PR as an end-all is that there’s a lot of subsets that might be better. They got their fingers in too many pies. Just pick one so you can present a clearer message.

I wonder which IoT devices are affected, beyond DIY, that people actually use in North America.

Not with that attitude!

J/K we were set to have a couple plants ready to go this year, but who knows now?

Thanks! My province, Alberta, apparently had STV back in ze day.

The ESP32 chip, developed by Espressif Systems, is widely used in various IoT (Internet of Things), embedded systems, and consumer electronics due to its low power consumption, built-in Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, and high processing capability.

Devices That Use the ESP32 Chip

1. Development Boards & Microcontrollers

ESP32 DevKit series (official Espressif boards)

M5Stack and M5Stick series

Adafruit HUZZAH32

SparkFun ESP32 Thing

LilyGO T-Series (T-Display, T-SIM, T-Watch, etc.)

WEMOS Lolin D32/D32 Pro

2. Smart Home & IoT Devices

Sonoff Smart Switches and Plugs (e.g., Sonoff Mini R3, Sonoff S31)

Shelly Smart Relays (e.g., Shelly 1, Shelly 2.5)

Tuya-Based Smart Devices (many smart home products use Tuya firmware on ESP32)

Air quality monitors (e.g., AirGradient open-source air sensors)

IoT Sensor Hubs (various DIY and commercial solutions)

3. Wearables & Portable Devices

TTGO T-Watch (ESP32-based smartwatch)

Heltec WiFi Kit Series (LoRa-enabled IoT devices)

Fitness trackers (some DIY and prototype models)

4. Robotics & DIY Electronics

Why Is ESP32 Popular?

✔ Low-cost & powerful (dual-core, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) ✔ Great for DIY & commercial IoT applications ✔ Strong developer community & open-source support ✔ Compatible with Arduino, MicroPython, ESP-IDF, etc.

Since they’re different systems, I’m wondering which you prefer since pushing a general nebulous philosophy rarely works in a movement, it’s best to get specific about what you want. Unless you’re Trump.

Thanks for the heads up about democracy watch.

Do you think that PR or MMP (Mixed Member Proportional) would work better for Canada though? I’m feeling pretty good about MMP now that I’ve read up on it.

Does fair vote seem to have a consensus on what election method(s) are best for election reform? Likely proportional representation is in the mix, but are there others?
