Likely targeting impaired drivers.

I'd be curious if the timing of this being Easter weekend has anything to do with this. Many people had the stat holiday off and it'd work out well to swing by the polling station on their way to visit family.

  1. Don't go to the United States

If you really have to...

  1. Backup phone.
  2. Factory reset (make sure you really backed up everything)
  3. Install only essential apps (not from backup). Don't log into anything.
  4. Cross border. (you just got a new phone and haven't set it up yet)
  5. Restore backup.

I actually quite like the Bluetooth DAC I got because of the disappearance of my headphone jack. It breaks that physical attachment of my headphones to my phone while giving very good quality audio.

I'd recommend checking out the Fiio BTR line if interested.

These fools. Taxpayers are going to have to pay both the carbon tax owed plus the legal fees for all this. But, don't worry, the lawyers are all friends of the politicians, so we must be in good hands.

If only we could have a government with a reasonable level of competence...

About $11M USD.

I'd say that's kind of expected in an industry that's created essentially out of nothing. It was a weed rush, some are winners, but many are losers. Sure there's regulatory burden, but that was known going into it.

I feel like weed shops will soon go the way of the many frozen yogurt shops of a decade ago.

In the new report, researchers found that a combination of increasing battery density, reducing tire rolling resistance, and cutting the weight of vehicles through high-strength steel or carbon fiber could double efficiency by 2050.

For those who don't want to read the rambling article.

Is this not a fairly cut and dry discriminatory firing case?

You know we're all screwed when even the government body in place to prevent anticompetitive deals can't actually achieve that legally.

The Canadian Competition Tribunal, brought to you by Shawgers™.

I'd gladly pay for a reasonably priced service (probably no more than $20/mo, but even that is on the steep side) where I could watch whatever game I'd like with no blackouts. Unfortunately, that doesn't exist, so, here we arr.

Practical Engineering, Real Engineering, Wendover, Climate Town, Kurzgesagt, Polymatter, Smarter Every Day, Veritasium, and The School of Life are a bunch of my favourites in the educational space.
