Man pleads guilty to planning to flip Trump’s limo with a stolen forklift http://hill.cm/krZTnq9

Define planning here

Is this planning as in planning, or is this planning as in "hey kid do you want to help us do 9/11 this year we do it every year"

He actually stole the forklift and tried to enter the motorcade route

@MadScientist I do like that he put "President Trump" in quotes.

This is why I essentially ignore most of his critics

It's like that one site always using President* for him (I forgot which one that was)

5:15 PM

I don't think he's perfect. He's done stuff I dislike to be sure. But his most outspoken critics are almost always complaining about him being progressive.

right yeah

I will complain about him for reasons of gestures at pipelines, canada post, etc but

@Unionhawk Yup a few of the things, although the pipeline thing was going on long before him

"wow the PM didn't go to a meeting" ok?

How he handled election reform really frustrated me as well

No that was not a subtweet

5:18 PM

> Meanwhile, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel also accused Trudeau of being “tone deaf” for announcing the pledge of support the same day as Alberta Premier Rachel Notley’s announcement that the province will cut oil production by 8.7 per cent to try and alleviate a supply glut.

This person [the MP] doesn't know how the oil market works, huh.

But his loudest critics never seem to complain about that stuff, instead they rage about him pushing for a gender neutral cabinet

If you don't cut production during gluts, the price of oil is going to literally collapse and you'll end up with Houston in the 80s.

Houston in the 80s was not a fun time.

nah, you gotta drill drill drill

@Ave and now we're just venting about the state of everything in turkey. Govt is pushing for 3 children, BC is incredibly expensive (around 5try/ea on condoms, which is not really affordable for people with low income), there's no proper charging spots for electric cars, govt isn't taking steps against climate change even though they signed paris agreement, a lot of people still use ancient cars that have terrible emissions and govt isn't against that.

It's also a lesson in how you shouldn't focus the entire economy of your city on a single commodity.

Houston's been trying to wean ourselves away from oil dependence by spreading out into healthcare, but we're still pretty oil dependent.

5:22 PM

@Ave personally, I'm against pointing at personal choices when 100 corps produce something like 73% of emissions

@Yuuki Yeah but that's easier said than done in a lot of these places. You can't just make industry come to you, although you can certainly encourage it.

the earth is not dying it is being killed, and the ones killing it have names and addresses, like 5959 Las Colinas Boulevard Irving, Texas 75039-2298 (Exxon HQ)

@Unionhawk that's very true, but I'm not sure if one of those countries are in Turkey, and even if so, anything helps, really.

I believe some of the communities where those GM plants shutdown are facing a similar issue

@Unionhawk Agreed.

I mean yeah we should all take steps to curb our litter and carbon et cetera, but it's businesses doing most of the damage

Including in the misinformation campaigns and lobbying they've done to stop governments from forcing them to change

they predicted, correctly, that melting ice would make it easier to drill

@MadScientist a very normal thing to twete, tbh

@Wipqozn 1) these things are always planned in advance and coordinated 2) responsible leaders make sure they can actually follow through on things before announcing them 3) what a silly thing to be upset about

@Yuuki iirc the economic term for this is "dutch disease" and it is an extremely hard thing to break

In economics, the Dutch disease is the apparent causal relationship between the increase in the economic development of a specific sector (for example natural resources) and a decline in other sectors (like the manufacturing sector or agriculture). The putative mechanism is that as revenues increase in the growing sector (or inflows of foreign aid), the given nation's currency becomes stronger (appreciates) compared to currencies of other nations (manifest in an exchange rate). This results in the nation's other exports becoming more expensive for other countries to buy, and imports becoming cheaper...

@GodEmperorDune Yeah, we're trying but it's tough.

@TimStone ugh this story is done in an extremely annoying way

There was a recent slow-down in oil production a few years back that we weathered much better than we did in the 80s due to diversification into healthcare.

@Ash That reminded me of the Southwest worker who got in trouble the other day after making fun of that girl's name which was definitely not okay but I admit I am still having trouble with the fact her mom named her Abcde

Your name is your name and sometimes your name is unique but as a parent it kind of feels lazy to just be like "Ah, that literary classic, the alphabet"

Still though that agent was just mean :/

@TimStone definitely naming my next kid "FakeFirstName"

@TimStone this actually wasnt the first time I encountered Abcde as a name, so I had that helping at least

Confuse the hell out of some devs somewhere

@Ash Oh, wow, really? :o

7:58 PM

@Ash yeah some story said there were around 1000 people in the US with that name

Interesting

@TimStone thats right, the name keeps coming up NaN, but only that one

user15026

@TimStone yep. I dont remember the context, but I remembered enough that my brain naturally read it as "Absidee" instead of individual letters, which was a good trick.

Yeah, that's definitely helpful because English is not kind to that construction otherwise

user15026

@TimStone no, it is not at all lol

8:02 PM

@Ash Is "Absidee" the way it would be pronounced?

Yeah, or at least in the case of the girl in question

user15026

@BradC generally people say "Absidee" or "Abcity"

@Ash abcity sounds like a workout regimen

Hmm, thanks. "aybeeceedee'ee" seems a bit unweildy

@TimStone you must choose one or the other

@Unionhawk Lol, "and how is that pronounced?" "Albin"

they also disallowed "A" with the same pronunciation

user15026

@Nzall oh okay good I was hoping they'd rule that way, because that's a false equivalency, comparing it to trans stuff.

Also joked about naming our son "Skookumchuck" (a River in WA state), but calling him "Chuck"

Then when someone says "is that short for Charles?" he'd just say "no....."
