Virtually every country has a dark history of violence. And Canada doesn't even crack the top 10 there. I meant it within a reasonable frame of reference, like say 90s and 00s.

Most of the crime that affects Americans is not really organized though.

Canada used to be a normal country though, even kind of nice, not an apartheid state. Expectations are different.

OVH's support is not so much terrible as largely non-existent. However, they have been rather generous with free credits and I've never had a billing issue with them despite having used their various services for 13 years across a

Ha, yes, you get to keep the phone, they even have to unlock it (remove the SIM lock), but you also still pay the monthly installments because it is a subscription. They just change the name of the line item to some other service. It&#x27

Training on auto generated images collected off the Internet is gonna be fine for a while since the images surfacing will be curated (ie. selected as good/interesting/valuable) still mostly by humans.

Nobody knows if it was just general erratic behaviour by the green party or just general hatred and jealousy towards the french. It was neither. The German plan was to leverage "green" Russian gas for control over the EU. As usu

China is nominatively communist, the most progressive ideology in existence or at least in the running for the title. They even had one-child policy.

Yeah, a Chinese wall like that worked pretty wall for journalism back when it was a profitable endeavor. Google certainly is.

No, certainly not with Outlook. I moved from a Workspace company to m365 one and expected to just change a habit here and there but that is not true. In terms of UX, Gmail and Calendar are light years ahead of Outlook.

Wow, that's a lot of clothes! Funny, I looked at his $3,907.65 total estimate and though that it's quite low for an adult. Consider though that OP used retail prices, not thrift shop.

Yes (and very good comment), but will it still be the answer in 2050? Basically, these things look anti-inductive.

Banks disappearing is awesome though. They're a blight and the small branches offer usurious services almost exclusively. Large chains being replaced by smaller establishments would be great but I don't have high hopes here.

Mass shootings are rare but yeah, the only way you could tell that Warsaw is anywhere near a war is because of a large number of Ukrainians and all lower cost rentals gone from the market.

Eating a high-protein diet is the easiest way to stay satiated without overeating. Carnivore is actually more difficult than necessary but fits the bill. However, nature dominates nurture almost every time. So a good hormonal profile is of

The hydration meme (drinking a gallon+ of fluids a day) is one the few fads that are actually sound. Anyway, the long term effects are not that worrisome since virtually no one will stick to a diet this strict. I wouldn't also recommen
