Last post by Bauer - December 03, 2025, 10:48:53 PMI know Italians have a reputation to keep up, but they've outdone themselves this time. The hockey rink for the Olympics will be finished at opening as a best case scenario - no time to break it in. And on top of that they somehow managed to make the ice surface smaller than the NHL.

Last post by crazy canuck - December 03, 2025, 09:58:40 PMI don't think Rustad has much of a leg to stand on, there will be a new leader selected, and there is already a new interim leader in place.
The interesting question is whether the non NDP vote reconsolidates under the BC Conservatives now after having been under the banners of Social Credit, then BC Liberals/United. Or whether we end up with three parties. I think the first option is the most likely. But who knows.

Micron is shuttering crucial and focusing on AI customers. With downward price pressure disappearing from cheaper suppliers whoever is left is gonna charge even more.

Last post by Jacob - December 03, 2025, 06:31:36 PMI know you're all absolutely riveted by the BC Conservative Party drama.
The current situation:
Rustad says he's still the leader, nothing's changed. Some MLAs say he's still their leader.
The new interim leader - Trevor Halford - says he's the leader. The party's board says Rustad is not the leader.
The logic of the removal is that the BC Conservative Party constitution says:
What the board did was to declare Rustad "professionally incapable" as grounds for removal.
Rustad has declared that that is a bunch of BS (he used the words "give me a break", which I think of as old school BC phrasing for "that's BS").
David Eby, the BC Premier (NDP) sticks the knife in a bit, saying:
That said, some of the rebels also seem to be coming from the centre-seeking Liberal-Conservative coalition wing of the party. It seems like both wings of the big tent are dissatisfied. There's also been some rumbling about Rustad's leadership having made fundraising difficult... whatever that suggests.
Stay tuned for more of "as the BC Conservative Party turns"

The logic of the removal is that the BC Conservative Party constitution says:
QuoteThe Leader can only be removed from office by resignation, death, incapacitation, or the leadership review vote resulting in less than fifty percent (50%) support of the Party Members in good standing who vote in a universal secret paper ballot."

Quote"This is not a surprise that we continue to see this chaos," Eby said.
"The kinds of people the Conservatives brought into the legislature, the anti-vax conspiracy theories, the pro-Trump tweets, the YouTube bloggers — I don't know how you hold a group together with that kind of hodgepodge of craziness."

Like I keep saying, around 1.12 or so.
Sure. But EUV is perfectly functional and fun to play now. And even if there are balance issues the damn thing plays so slowly it will take you tons of hours for them to bother you.
And that last point isn't ever changing.
No. That's why what I want for Xmas 2026 is a later start date
