Just watch the surge being a wave to elect an expansionist collaborator.

I hope not but it's not nearly as improbable as I'd like.

Perhaps more to do with this. Google no longer has legal problems in the US under Trump.

These outlier polls give me the heebijeebies. Some friends are very calm looking at the "nicer" polls. I can't shake the feeling that they're missing some undercurrent.

I think there's more than that in mismanagement on the side of the German state, but these are definitely key elements.

So you're saying it's safe to use their DNS without worrying much about data collection? 😂 I like it.

Not exactly what you want but thought worth mentioning - Cash Passport. It's available at Canada Post locations. You can also buy single-use credit cards there. I think both require ID however so they're not suitable for anonymous purchases.

Some additional keywords on the tech behind this extended range capability:

... self-generated anode battery technology (which no longer uses traditional graphite anode material but allows elements to deposit on the current collector in metallic form, increasing volumetric energy density by 60% and gravimetric energy density by 50%)

...

Additionally, CATL's self-generated anode technology can be adapted to multiple material systems. For example, when paired with sodium-ion systems, the energy density can reach 350Wh/L; with phosphate systems, it can reach 680-780Wh/L; and with ternary systems, it can exceed 1000Wh/L.

Source

The source cites CATL, but this self-generating anode tech has apparently been studied for a while by more than CATL.

You may still get hit with the tariff if it's shipped from overseas. In such a scenario, you're the importer and likely responsible for any duties and fees.

This thread makes me so proud 🥲

Seems like they forgot to take an important lesson of FDI's success in China - take shared control of the new assets. Neoliberal indoctrination would do that to you.

The next government should pass a complementary law that requires these companies to cooperate with Canadian media (and pay according to the existing law) or exit the market. The first law was never complete.

 

The contract includes base hourly wage increases of nearly 20 per cent for production and 25 per cent for skilled trades, a faster timeline for workers to reach the top wage tier, improvements to pensions and two new paid holidays.

 

The RCMP announced Tuesday it has launched a criminal investigation into Ontario Premier Doug Ford's plan to open up Greenbelt land for development.

My screen off average keeps falling. I'm regularly seeing sub 1.5%/h since updating my #Pixel 6 Pro to #Android 14.

It's sitting at 1.8%/h at the moment:

Anyone else got it?

Good showing today. If anyone's interested in participating in future action against health care privatization in Ontario - you can sign up to the Ontario Health Coalition's comm channels - https://www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca/.

Signs of life for the "Find My Device" network launch?

Edit: Apparently this was covered a week ago: https://lemdro.id/post/1356956

 

When the Ford government issued a special zoning order to allow construction on farmland north of Toronto, it was expected to help the developer quickly build 600 “desperately needed new homes.”

But before building a single home, the firm run by Shakir Rehmatullah, one of the developers who attended Premier Doug Ford’s daughter’s wedding, divided the land into parts and sold some for what appears to be a significant profit.

Property records obtained by the Star show that Rehmatullah’s company Flato Upper Markham Village Inc. recently sold a large chunk for $62 million — four times what he originally paid in 2017 for the entire 102-acre property. Representatives of Flato have insisted that the company retains ownership of the lands and will be involved in its development, but have refused to provide details regarding the interest it currently holds in them.

 

Older millennials, adults aged 35 to 44, had debt-to-disposable income ratios around 250 per cent in 2019, while Freestone noted that metric was roughly 150 per cent for the same age group in 1999.

Can confirm we're sitting around 250% but this is after exercising significant restraint to not take on as much mortgage as the banks would have given us. Everyone I know who bought over the last couple of years went all out and I can't imagine them being any lower than 300-350%.

I had no idea e-scooters were illegal in TO. I have a feeling most don't either.
