I wonder what it’s like being one of the businesses next to them.

I once realized so many of my favourite businesses were cooperatives. I started thinking of what other co-ops I could start and grow. The excitement faded once I realized it would have to not be about the money.

I mean the next generation of vehicles (and since I bought used, that’s also a generation ago)

I intentionally sought out a used vehicle with haptic menu controls. It pissed me off when I realized there was no point of having it, because the UI still locks me out of most of the interface when I am not completely stopped.

It seems like the next generation just entirely gave up on the concept of safety.

I think we know that.

Catholics believe the principle of double effect could act as a moral compass here.

In a direct abortion, the intended effect is to end the life of the fœtus. There are probably other medical procedures that could achieve the desired effect of saving the life of the mother, unfortunately I’m guessing they are not sought out due to cost and the low likelihood that both lives would be saved.

Are they the same ones that claim “we are all sinners”?

They’re different, but not opposite. It’s like comparing height and colour.

This is what I often did before going to a party. Sometimes before, sometimes after driving more than 90km to get there

My favourite is:

Them: We want less red in the pie chart. Fix that remote vulnerability.

Me: We don’t even have that component enabled. It’s reporting on a DLL file version, not the vulnerability itself.

Them: Just lower our vulnerability score.

(Me wondering if I deploying dozens of fully-patched systems would have the same proportional effect)

Tenable (or how our security folks have our scans configured) doesn’t seem to get that.

It’s the other way around in Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba, isn’t it?

There are two creation narratives in the book of Genesis, and both are considered to be historical allegories.
