Interesting that in Canada Rideau Hall counts, but Casa Loma does not.

The title of the page is "Map of the world's great castles & fortresses". So those are latter.

Canada has always accepted immigrants. Rapidly increasing the number of foreign students to goose the slumping post-secondary education sector did not work out great. Even with the reductions, there are always immigrants coming into Canada.

No one cares. Japanese culture today is nothing like it was 200 years ago.

In English they can, in fact, be used, at times, interchangeably!

Accept: to give admittance

Why is every argument against any level of immigration that the people of Japan are unchangeably xenophobic? Japan is bringing in more immigrants than ever: https://soranews24.com/2025/08/13/foreign-population-in-japa...

Japan is already accepting immigrants! It's right there in the article I linked! It's just a question of raising the quota slightly.

It's hardly going to solve every problem, it will keep restaurants from closing.

Japan is not without problems related to a shrinking population i.e. https://eastasiaforum.org/2026/05/21/japans-immigration-poli...

but it's a problem easily solved by just letting in more immigrants.

Japan, a country famous for no one knowing what its culture is.

Delta P is one atmosphere or less, like 15 PSI. Lots of stuff can handle 15 PSI.

Now, will it immediately off-gas and embrittle on exposure to vacuum? Different question.

Do you think the US is going to have Nuremberg trials? Do you think there will be a deep national reckoning about what happened?

Sad that we'll probably never be able to run this on M1/M-series iPads.

Regardless, Chromebooks are as adopted as anything is likely to get in the current Windows-Mac duopoly.

Chromebooks had a higher market share than Macs in 2021.

If you watched the rest of the announcements, apparently social media influencers.

Once you have a score, you have a game. Once you have a game, people will do whatever it takes to win.

Everyone loves gas and hates refineries. It's a tough choice.

Weirdly California doesn't get all of its gas from domestic refining.

https://timesofsandiego.com/state-region/2026/04/23/prices-c...

"California’s top foreign refinery supplier of gasoline and blendstocks this decade is Reliance Industries Ltd.’s Jamnagar refinery complex in western India. "

"More than 9 million barrels arrived via this loophole in 2025"

Now, that's a tiny fraction of the 320M barrels of gas used in CA annually, but anything that affects global oil shipments will be felt in California.

I don't understand who is taking the other side of all these insane Polymarket bets. Is Polymarket doing it?

More than just the d100 he was a pioneer of being very exacting when it came to making polyhedral dice. See http://www.1000d4.com/2013/02/14/how-true-are-your-d20s/

I expect the average human mother maintains a higher level of sanitation than the average cow.

They very much are not.

In addition to the incredible engineering work here the OP casually flexes by showing the development happening _in an economy class airplane seat_.

The bulk of those shirts have got to be pirated, but for a while they were selling them at Bandy Melville, a clothing store whose target demographic has seemingly very little overlap with fans of Joy Division. The ultimate triumph of the signifier over the signified.

Congrats, OP has recreated a test/development bench, the bane of developers working on automotive software development all around the world. They're so close to being a real vehicle that you think you'll be able to get a lot of work done, but they're not, so you don't.

EIR == Entrepreneur-in-Residence

The foreign-born population of LA and SF hasn't changed significantly in decades. It was like 27% in LA in the 80s. Housing there is expensive because there's a lot of demand from a lot of people. Immigration is like reason 11 out of 10 for why housing is expensive in those areas.

I just said you're wrong, not that you're prohibited from discussing it.

Framing foreign-born residents as "artificial demand" is definitely a thing you can do, but it doesn't align with reality. Some portion of the foreign-born population are naturalized or are family members of US citizens, so it's not like waving your magic racist wand would actually solve the problem.

There are so many confounding factors that this can't be taken at face value. Immigrants go where jobs are in general and it's demand for workers that causes housing prices to go up. If there was zero immigration there would still be huge housing demand in SF and LA.

Canada has pulled American liquor from sales as a tariff retaliation, so Kentucky bourbon sales have dropped considerably. Thus we have the senator from Kentucky trying to kill off domestic competitors for Kentucky liquor.
