Short summary: Tidal is the best overall.
Balancing the content, quality, and amount paid to artists, I put it on top.

Fuck 'em. They are parasites on the artistic world.
They also warned that the conflict in the Middle East could lead Iran to interfere in the next federal election.
But Israel keeps their interference out in the open, so it’s OK.
Little boutique place near us has an “Apple Cheddar Pie” ice cream in the fall. It’s never quite as good as you expect. Gotta try it again this year, to see how they’ve changed it.
(On the other hand, their Lemon Curd Blueberry is one of the greatest things ever served in a cone in the history of humankind.)
There absolutely will not be.
The intent is to be able to go out, round up the homeless in vans, and toss them into a ‘treatment’ centre. Taking street drugs is inherently dangerous, and so if you’re using, you’re eligible. If it turns out that you’re clean but have untreated mental health issues, then you’ll get held against your will for the safety of those around you.
I mean, they might as well start tracking these people by tattooing them - maybe with a bar code on their wrist.
I’m only guessing here, but I assume the comments on Residential schools are there to establish the bugotey of the board.
The actual flag ban is typically done to prevent pride flags from being on display.
If it is possible over the course of the game for turn orders to be changed, or for a player to choose to draw a card, or cause another player to draw a card, then it matters in a way.
This is a fascinating wrinkle, and quite correct. (and non-obvious, I would say.)
Everything that people have been posting leans towards laying out the order ahead of time, even if there’s no mathematical difference in drawing the next card.
(Unless you’re not dealing with a deck of cards, but instead 50k decks at once. :-D )
if you’re playing a card game that requires deck manipulation…
Ah! This is something that I hadn’t directly considered. Interesting point, and it could be a serious concern for some games.
Thanks!
I like 'em, but I’m not convinced.
a massive swing away from corporate smell along with popular pro-labor rhetoric and actions
Corporations - which are already pretty damned conservative - will back the CPC with ten times the money if this happens. It would be lovely, but would guarantee a Poilievre win.
electoral reform without stepping down
That will prevent the CPC (or anyone else) from securing a majority in the next election, but I don’t think it’ll win the election for him.
Jagmeet introducing electoral reform in the current parliament, Trudeau supporting it
Ah, now that’s interesting! I like this one quite a bit.
At the end of the day, I honestly don’t believe Trudeau can win another election under any reasonable circumstances. The best he can do is stack the deck in the party’s favour, and then step down.
Come on BC, pitting us against you is exactly the way they accumulate more power.
John Rustad doesn’t believe that COVID is a serious disease, regrets his COVID vaccine (sorry, “so-called vaccine”), supports anti-LGBTQ2+ agendas, doesn’t believe in climate change, and…has a good shot of being your next premier.
You’re in the same boat as us - christofascists controlling the narrative, then controlling the government, then the media, then our bodies and our lives. By lashing out at “stupid redneck Albertans” you’re wasting effort that should be spent taking down the people pushing this narrative. Meanwhile, we’re wasting effort defending ourselves (and counterattacking), instead of … that’s right - taking down the people pushing this narrative.
BC and Alberta together. And Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, the other four provinces and three territories - we need to STAND TOGETHER AGAINST FASCISM, and not let them drive wedges between us.
Solidarity.
Ted Byfield isn’t “controversial.”
He’s a hate-monger, pure and simple.
It’s time to start using the right language with these assholes. No quarter given, no excuses accepted.
I wish!
Ted Byfield is far worse than Palpatine - and his son, Link (really!), is an order of magnitude beyond that.
I think he still has one chance - which he almost certainly won’t take.
Announce that he’ll step down when this term is up, and immediately hold a short leadership race, with the new leader vying for a brand new PM position.
To sweeten the pot, he could toss in proper PR electoral reform. It would throw cabinet into chaos, but the Greens and NDP would probably support it; and Trudeau would go down in history with the likes of Tommy Douglas as someone who fundamentally changed Canada for the better.
But his ego is too big for the first item, and the party is too scared to let him pull off the second.
So we’re likely stuck with a fucking Christofascist neo-Nazi for our next PM.
Fucking garbage article and headline.
Here’s one for you: “Poilievre’s non-confidence motion falls flat in parliament.”
Or perhaps…
“Conservatives fail to force favourable election schedule.”
Or maybe something simple:
“Christofascist takeover bid fails.”
I’m not a big fan of Trudeau - ESPECIALLY since he fucking reneged on electoral reform - but compared to the fuckwits in the CPC, I’ll hold my nose and support him.
(In reality, I’m in such a tory-blue riding that I’ll probably vote Green, because my MP will still get 70% of the popular vote).
Stupid fascist fucker.
We have to stand up against this evil. March in the streets. Strike. Hold the line.
Not…yet.
Let her put this into effect, and then watch for the ‘no persecution based on vaccine status’ rhetoric.
Oooh, I can answer some of this!
Frequency response is DEFINITELY non-linear in a traditional pickup. The nonlinearity is one of the prime factors in the tone of a pickup. (And unlike with say home audio amplifiers, there is no argument about the variation in tonality of different pickups.)
He contemplated it, but then realized that selling out was right in line with party values.
I know that a lot of people will agree with my summary here.
FUCK LOBLAWS!
That’s it. Fuck 'em. I hope they declare bankruptcy and are bought by goddamn Ralph’s.
It’s true that Qobuz pays more per stream, although I’ve heard that they pay an amalgamated sum to the label instead of direct payment by artist.
Furthermore, while MQA was a bit of a bait-and-switch (basically lossy versions of much higher quality), Tidal always offered pure lossless as well.
Qobuz apparently has a better classical catalog, but worse customer support.
Basically, I’ve found Tidal to be - at this point - a bit ahead of Qobuz. Not a real complaint, just a “if I had to choose…” opinion.
