Comment The most anti-environment president (Score 1) 134

This the same guy the issued an emergency order demanding that the last coal-fired power plant in Oregon CONTINUE BURNING COAL after it was scheduled to shut down? States rights be damned, Trump hates renewables! Has anybody told him that coal fired power plants release far more radiation into the atmosphere than nuclear plants do? Has anyone told him that his buildings hill more birds than windmills do?

Don't tell me where to go. By "jerks", I mean the people responsible for replacing bilingual street signs with French-only street signs, at the expense of taxpayers. Because being bilingual wasn't good enough, they have to have FRENCH ONLY! If you're not one of those jerks, then I wasn't referring to you. (I have tremendous respect for the people that speak multiple languages fluently. People that refuse to learn the language skills needed to communicate with the people around them? Not so much.) As far as Canada being far better off than the US is under current leadership, I concur. I'm hoping when donnie dementia is no longer around I can sit down with my Canadian friends and buy them a beer again. What are y'all drinkin' these days? (Pretty sure it's not American!)

Comment So? (Score 4, Insightful) 24

That's exactly why open-sourcing drivers is a GOOD thing! I once paid good money for an HP flatbed scanner, which became unusable when the next version of Windows shipped and HP declined to provide drivers for it since they were no longer making any money off the scanner. So I had to throw it away.

Comment Huh? (Score 2) 121

One thing I can say for the British is that they pronounce words exactly the way they spell them. (See aluminium/aluminum). So, while my Canadian coworkers pronunciation of "schedule" bothered me as an American, I cannot call it incorrect! Obviously, the Canadians still consider themselves to be British... er, with the exception of a bunch of francophile jerks in Quebec.
