Wait, you’re saying “liberal”=“pro-israel”? Isn’t that more of a republican/conservative thing?

JohnnyCanuck,

Yeah, fair. I think that’s why I found associating liberalism with being pro-israel weird.

Fuck this article for never saying what AOSP stands for.

I didn’t say I confused it with something else. I didn’t imply anyone would confuse it with something else. Congratulations to everyone who already knew what it was.

Every item they steal as a knockoff to generously offer us suckers as “value” takes money away from food suppliers, who then have less leverage to negotiate.

Which knockoffs are you talking about? (I’m not challenging you, I’m genuinely interested.)

I’ve been a regular No Name at No Frills shopper (and store brand shopper in general) for a long time, especially for staples like flour, because I hate how much the name brands charge for basicly the same thing. I used to get my produce at a local shop but it’s gone now :(

Can he sue the landlord? It sounds like he’s already paid way too much to fight this, but it also feels like active fraud on the landlord’s part: “his landlord had given a Canadian address on the deed of sale when she purchased the unit; she had a Canadian social insurance number; and his rent cheques were going to a TD Canada account in Montreal.”

Also, if this is a thing, why the fuck is the CRA letting someone accrue six years worth of arrears before informing them. They should be obligated to notify the renter yearly (at least) or forfeit any interest.

I mean really, all of that is moot, as the rule is completely ludicrous to begin with. It sounds to me like the people who implemented the rule (and the ones defending it) have never been renters themselves. Like you’re supposed to ask a potential landlord for their fucking financials? They’ll laugh in your face and move on to the next sap. Total bullshit.

Google briefly made the web an amazing, magical place. You could create powerful searches and find almost anything.

They ruined it once they started focusing more on driving income than driving good search results.

Does anybody else feel guilty being suspicious of anybody in a black hoodie with the hood up?

Specifically because I live in a hot climate, I’m always fighting the feeling of being suspicious of anybody I pass in the streets with a hoodie pulled up. I feel guilty because of racial profiling associated with hoodies, but gotta protect myself and my family, especially because in many cases the perpetrators of assault and...

I’m suspicious of myself (or at least self-conscious) when I wear a black hoodie with the hood up…

Depends on the plastic, but most plastics are fine.

Hand sanitizer usually comes in plastic bottles and can be ethanol or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Also you can buy high percentage isopropyl (and sometimes ethanol) at the drugstore in plastic bottles. Also many large bottles of liquor come in clear plastic versions.

I wouldn’t recommend using Plexiglas or acetate though. Alcohol will eat those up.

Well to be fair, the first one in the list has a pinned video on their channel about it…

Ah, I misunderstood the intent of your question because of the “actually”. I thought it was more accusatory.

Screw these other people saying this is sad. This is awesome! I spent many a Friday night at home programming or gaming and told my friends my parents wouldn’t let me go out. You get to go to prom with your friends and geek out, fucking perfect.

I see a successful life in your future!

Why do Pixels and Samsungs have such restricted mobile data features?

I am trying to set up a plan with a smaller carrier, but I have a feeling that since they are not on Google’s allowlist (even though I live in Canada), they will not let me use 5G with them. The Pixel watch supported carrier list also makes no sense, because for some reason the new carriers for the watch 2 don’t support the...

The Pixel watch supported carrier list also makes no sense, because for some reason the new carriers for the watch 2 don’t support the first version?

They often don’t update the list for older devices. The supported list is whatever it was when the device came out.

I actually don’t know what you mean by “Google’s allowlist” but the underlying carrier might matter more than whatever small “carrier” you want to go with. E.g. Telus, Bell, Rogers(/Shaw), Videotron basically run all of the cell networks and then lease them out to the small carriers (which they actually either own, or will eventually).

So if those big guys are on the list, you’re probably fine (but I don’t actually know how it works). You can google “{name of carrier} mobile network” to find out whose network(s) they’re on.

This could be great for tech workers. Options are actually the worst form of compensation, and companies use them to lure employees into jobs in the tech industry that pay far lower than the same job in the US while it costs the company virtually nothing.

The real reason these guys running “innovation” companies are seething is that to compete it will mean they have to increase the base pay to tech workers (which is better for the employee) or they can issue stock instead of stock options (the issued and vested stock is taxed as income.) But they don’t want to do this because they’re greedy.

This tarnishes the allure of stock options, which is great.
