Really good. The sourdough base is excellent.

I was headed to Maybee for the brick oven pizza, but if the greeny line extended down Route 7 towards Oromocto, it certainly seems interesting...

There was a Freddie fire truck and a support truck seemingly cleaning up some of it on the bridge over the Vanier Highway at the Wilsey Road/Alison Blvd exit last night around 7:30 or so. The greeny line definitely went back toward Vanier Ind Drive.

Do you like plug in a laptop or something?

Trump gets the Monroe doctrine wrong. He should take a page from Bad Bunny | Ted Widmer The US president has twisted the 1823 doctrine to suit his quest for domination. It originally had a very different vision for the Americas

Want to stop Trump bullying your country? Retaliate - a good rubdown on why Europe, and by extension, Canada, should not let the bully to the South keep taking our lunch money without a well-thought-out fight.

We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

The US has nothing to teach Australia - or any other nation - about how to deal with gun violence. So many days each year with multiple mass shootings, yet politicians, media and far-too many Americans are unable or just unwilling to do what is needed to end this cycle - meaningful gun control...

Rubio orders return to Times New Roman font over 'wasteful' Calibri The US State Department will be required to use Times New Roman instead of Calibri for official documents, starting 10 December.

How in any delusional reality is using Calibri as an official font a β€œdiversity move?” It’s a middling sans-serif font at best. They have managed the font-impossible: made me like Calibri just a little and never want to use Times-New Roman again: www.bbc.com/news/article...

"I was initially surprised by how often I ran into the attitude from students in these programs that they don't actually need to be well-versed in anything besides the exact information they need to know to conduct research in their field."
We no longer train scholars, we train specialists

I heard plenty of talk of career- and job-focussed university programs being the future when I was doing my MA in the early 90s. I will take my Arts-derived critical thinking and research skills over thrall to the latest tech or business trend any day or year...

Would be a great spot to have a bite & a pint for the area. It really shouldn’t be an impossible task to rezone it if it was a good proposal for a licensed local-focussed gastro-y pub, but there’ll always be nimby opposition to development in YFC.

The most openly racist, eugenicist monsters are running the U.S. They will use every opportunity to advance their agenda.

And as the wheels come off their regime they will only grow more brutal and obscene. These are dangerous days for us all.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Newspapers, including the Globe and Mail, have policies restricting use of LLMs. These experiments show why those policies are needed -they can't be trusted in writing, research or editing.

I'm not anti-AI. It's worth developing. But the design of LLMs makes them a non-option for truth-based work

Can you subtly turn it down to merely warm from mid-summer?

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.
