I'm not claiming I'm immune to this either, but to say one party is more corrupt then the other will often follow whatever party line you subscribe to. People will tend to excuse and put less scrutiny on the things the party they support does, and will even see many of the things they do as somewhat justified as it supports an ideology they subscribe to anyway, where as the things "the other party" does will be magnified much worse because not only are they corrupt, but they are corrupt in doing things that one generally opposes from the very start. The stink the liberals left after the Chretien and Paul Martin era is what led to Harper being in power for as long as he was. The stink that Harper left in his time in power has now paved the way for Trudeau to do what he is doing. Give it another term or two, and / or a viable leader in the opposition, and the winds will change again. The wheels of corruption will continue to turn.... Thank god no one party is in power in perpetuity as the longer they are, the things they do seem to get worse and worse. (not jaded at all)- Random News Items

Interesting article in The Athletic today grading the trade. Won't post it all, because it is behind a paywall. But one thing that was mentioning is that Dubois was in their their recent top 100 players and Laine was not. Here is how they grade this trade for both teams: Custance: Columbus: A- Jets: B+ Luszcyzyn - Columbus: B Jets: A- Pronman - Columbus: B+ Jets: B- They love Laine's goal scoring, which is a rare commodity. But his defensive play can be a liability. If we get Dubois from the playoffs last year, will have the centre depth with Scheifele and Dubois that teams dream about. Trade will ultimately come down to which team can sign who in the long term and which player can thrive with their new teams. https://theathletic.com/2341048/2021/01/23/nhl-trade-winnipeg-jets-columbus-blue-jackets-laine-dubois/- Around The NHL 2020/21
https://theathletic.com/2316763/2021/01/11/sharks-evander-kane-bankruptcy/ Rest is behind the paywall, so can't quote, but he owes a bunch of people, lost $1.5M in the last year gambling. His income right now is minus $90k per month, and will be getting a reduced salary with the Covid season. Tough times for our friend Evander.- US Politics

Enjoyed this documentary and underscores the importance of pro-actively looking for the full story on news events and not trusting single sources and random tweets in this day and age, which very few people will do. The internet was "supposed" to bring everyone together and connected, but AI/ML optimized for "hits" and views for advertising puts people in bubbles and further apart. And with people seeing custom and tailored messaging / news, they become all the more incredulous that "the other side" could think the things they do, assuming everyone is getting the same news / information.- The Dunigan 713 Game -- Makeshift Broadcast

Done. It is still showing up at the bottom, but I've stopped the button from hiding in the mobile view.- Site Update
I can look into it. Depending what you use it for, a faster way would be to open the site menu in the top right and you can mark the whole site as read. That still won't help if you are only looking to apply it to a specific forum.- Site Update
Not sure what you mean by font size and line through words feature. And let me know if there is any other things that people used and are missing. Can see if I can bring some of them back. If it isn't a feature I used regularly, I'm probably not going to notice, so doesn't hurt to ask and I can take a look. The sticky header to make navigation and moving around easier is up now. For people with wider monitors, the real estate used by the main navigation panel will now extend to most of the screen. Some other newer features I've noticed from this upgrade: For longer running threads, a panel will show on the left hand side with stats, popular posts, and posters If someone necroposts an older thread, it will now add in a timeframe when there is a big gap in time between two posts. Nice addition to avoid the confusion that usually comes with an old thread being resurrected.- Site Update
I think most of the outrageous display issues have now been fixed. Twitter feed is back. Snow blindness toned down, and buttons easier to find. - Canadian Politics
