Nit: "Boostered" is not a word. "Boosted" is [0]. This is similar to when I hear people say "orientate" instead of simply "orient". We don't need to over-Latinize when simpler speech will do.

Without access to the questions I don't know exactly who would have a tendency to respond. But would you answer a poll about how a service is affecting you if you didn't use it? And if not, that's my point -- that both the

Very unbiased. Only sampled people who were online and ostensibly only those who used Facebook. Since maybe ~60% of people use Facebook, I don't think the results speak for _all_ Canadians. If it did that's saying a lot for sec

What do you think of the report (rumor? speculation?) that intelligence agencies got a hold of (probably encrypted) cloud storage data artifacts which are associated the Wuhan Institute of Virology? I had not seen it reported elsewhere.

The story in the article about not knowing how to conclude a conversation reminds me of a tip my brother-in-law gave me. He is a teacher, though a bit introverted, and he said he had problems wrapping up conversations during parent-teacher
