1. Elon often travels throughout the globe, as many rich people do.

2. Interpol

As someone who uses YouTube Premium, this title piqued my interest. While lifetime would be nice, I figured it would be at least 1-2 years, which could make this phone pretty good value for me. At 3 months, I agree, I'm not sure if it's even work activating.

Kids emulate adults…

I would generalize that more to, "People operate and react to the system they're in." For kids, a huge part of that is their parents, but there are other factors involved like social media, and the wider society.

So many people want the simple answer, so they say it's "personal responsibility" and nothing else. We need to create/adjust our systems to generate the outcomes we want. As you point out, socioeconomics play a huge part so we not only need to relieve those burdens, but also provide specific supports in schools and the wider communities.

I don't really see any downsides to annual phone releases. For those people who want to upgrade every year, they can, for everyone else, you upgrade when you want to and you get a pretty new phone. I definitely agree the improvements for slab phones has slowed down a bunch, but there are still pretty big leaps in foldables, etc.

only national, provincial, and municipal flags should be flown at municipal facilities or flagpoles

I know this is pretty off-topic, but I found this part funny when one of my municipal Councillors proposed a similar bylaw (which thankfully failed). In Canada, municipal governments are creatures of the province, and the provinces have entered into confederation. By their logic, we shouldn't be flying Canadian flags as the country has no direct relation to the municipality.

Nurse Practitioner. I know "Nurse" is in the name, but they are completely separate jobs.

Yup, the article suggests her rent is ~$1,700:

At $1,200 a month, her pension doesn’t even cover her housing needs.

“I’m short like $500 just for the rent,”

A little column A, a little column B. Mostly, we can have gentle changes to our cities, like removing Single-Family Home and other exclusionary zoning, removing mandatory parking minimums, as well other initiatives to encourage higher density, mixed-use buildings, and active transportation usage.

I wish this article would address change in population.

This isn't an excuse and we need to do a whole lot better as a country. I just think blaming our increase of carbon output on transportation and not looking at per capita numbers gives the oilsands and other heavy industries a pass. I'd love to see more active/public transportation (and some EVs, but that's an inefficient solution for the ~85% of Canadians living in urban areas).

Some dealerships are better than others, but in my experience of buying a car in the last year, most dealerships are oblivious to EVs and the majority of the rest are hostile. Even if dealerships know anything about EVs, many are looking at the lack of EV maintenance and see disappearing recurring income for oil changes, etc

As a native English speaker, I don't think I've ever heard someone call NaCl just "Sodium", it's always called "Sodium Chloride".

To add to that, Republican senate leadership could replace him on the Senate Committee on Armed Services with someone who would support these promotions. By not doing so, their leadership is showing support for him and his position.
