Minimum 2 locks. And the lock featured in the article wouldn't cut it. Or rather it would be cut... and quite easily too.

Possibly even 3 locks if you have a very valuable e-bike. But honestly I would just get a beat up junker bike and ride that instead if you need to park it in iffy places.

Do you know how I can tell when I have an incoming call or message? My phone, which is in my pocket, makes a noise and vibrates. Why the absolute hell would I want my vacuum cleaner to notify me of a call?

And the washer too? Do they seriously think people just sit around at home taking calls every 5 minutes that they need every appliance to be able to make/take phonecalls?

There are. It's just the US is a large car-centric country which makes travel difficult and the ruling party controls almost all of the media and thus there is a media blackout on protests.

Dental and eyecare are largely private here in Canada, so yes. It will bleed your wallet dry unless you have insurance, work benefits, etc.

Guessing someone told Trump to back off because his meddling is costing the Conservatives the election.

I don't think it will help though. He repeatedly threatened war on Canada. That's not something you just pretend never happened.

History teaches us what power-hungry men do with honest and unbiased media.

In the case of the USA, that history is currently the present.

I sincerely hope Singh either resigns or is given the boot after this election. The party has sustained incredible losses under his leadership and they desperately need a new face that isn't associated with the Trudeau era.

The NDP are at risk of losing official party status right now. There is absolutely nothing Singh can bring to the table to make anybody care except a resignation speech.

She went into prison in 2023 so she will be there for a while yet.

I don't think her wealth is known exactly but she and her company lost billions during the scandal.

Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind. She manoeuvred herself into a position of wealth and power by defrauding other rich people and got herself 11 years in prison for it. That's 11 years more than most other rich scumbags get.

Oh now that would be beautiful.

How is this even a deal? Ukraine gets basically nothing in return.

This is just extortion.

Using generated frames so you can have an even faster frame rate of blurry and smeared frames and godawful raytraced jittering shadows.
