They say starting to vote early is the best way to ensure people continue voting throughout their life, how about mandatory voting for ages 18-25?

Anyone else getting paralyzingly anxious and ragingly angry when thinking about the provincial election?

I decided I should finally learn some Golang. I made a little utility that will likely be useless for anyone but me, took about 5 hours and uses mqtt, json, and shell commands, all dockerized. github.com/lairdm/switc...

GitHub - lairdm/switcher: Monitor switcher using ddcutil and commands sent via MQTT written in Golang.

Wow, is there seriously no way to deserialize string values into an enum in Golang without a map or switch statement? That seems like a big DRY violation.

Presupposition: Only individuals can vote, people do not live in businesses, political donations from business are banned, a business would charge significant money to display a sign promoting some other organization, therefore political signs outside businesses are illegal campaign donations.

More crazy BC Conservative positions: - Halt fees for cutting down trees, inflaming the softwood lumber dispute with the US and hurting the lumber industry So they want to completely collapse the BC forest industry? These guys are complete amateurs who don't understand business and trade policies.
