Can I ask where you are seeing in this advisory, or the posted article, that Canada is stating or implying that the USA is unsafe for such persons? As far as I can tell, the current travel advice for USA is "Take normal security precau

Just so we are on the same page on what is being discussed, here is what I think is the complete relevant text of the advisory: [1] > Some states have enacted laws and policies that may affect 2SLGBTQI+ persons. Check relevant state and

My theory is that there's (in USA) a pervasive emotional connection to driver seat height that's driven/exacerbated by the arms race to build larger and taller vehicles. Everyone wants their family to be in the safest vehicle

The recent Kia Carnival (name for US market IIRC) is an interesting response to this phenomenon. It's a true minivan that's just styled as if it's an SUV.

OsmAnd is amazing! I use it for gravel biking and off road driving and it's just incredible at doing turn by turn navigation off a GPX file offline.

In theory yes, but in practice, I feel that the transferred value could be ambiguous and obfuscated, even intangible. I would be surprised if McDonald's doesn't have a world class general counsel and legal team that can get very c

Kick-back doesn't have to be a one time thing - my guess (unsubstantiated) is the contracts involved routinely time out, requiring more 'golf-course negotiations.'

Like many corporations nowadays, McDonald's is basically a real estate holding company. The actual franchised businesses that operate on their land are tenants, and as their landlord, McDonald's is, IMO, only incentivized to help

If you look at it from the German perspective, I think a person who is in/from Germany and has a small online hobby electronics shop would not be impacted by this the same way you are - thus, I believe the side effect you mention could

I don't have experience with such category of electronics, but anecdotally small online sellers in my country (USA) often have troubles complying with German customs - there seems to be a high rate of packages returned to sender due to

Okay, so "absorb" sounds like it's not be the exact right word. I am a layman here. But how long does it take for the outer few layers of glass to achieve a level of PFAS density which is meaningful to people seeking to use t

Points taken on methodology, don't have enough knowledge to speak much further on it constructively but I would say my intuition is that "stuck to" is not that much different to "absorbs into the outermost layers of&quot

Lids that can be directly sipped from are common for hot drinks - like a single use coffee cup. Increasingly more common for single use packaging of cold drinks due to the whole straw thing.

Would you mind explaining why you are surprised by this result? I'm a layman but as I understand it PFAS are known to be able to absorb into glass at the very least from extended exposure to aqueous solution, as such it is common for w

I personally am a huge fan of average speed cameras and think we should adopt them but that is a hugely unpopular opinion here in the states... it would be career suicide for a politician to campaign on that, quite possibly even for the dea
