Correct. Hasn't been near 30C in Toronto this week (source: me, Toronto resident). This person could solve a lot of his problems with Toronto weather by moving close to the lake. It's generally a few degrees cooler in the summer,

The only reason CNN still exists is because it's bundled with cable and everyone gets (and pays for) CNN on a basic cable tier. The brutal truth? Almost nobody watches CNN unless something very significant happens. On the flip side, al

Uncomfortable chairs is how fast food restaurants handle this. If you make the seating comfortable, people will stay longer. Make it less comfortable (or uncomfortable) and people will move on after a shorter period of time.

Many people can not charge at home. Where I live (Toronto), street parking is common. It's not possible to charge on the street near your house. Condos have parking garages and unless they put a charger at each single spot, most of tho

A simple "pay what you want" would be superior. I'd probably do $2/month for Signal. $60/year is way too much to ask and as a result, I did one month, then cancelled. Perhaps I'll do that again in six months, b

Wonder if a case could be made that since public officials like the US President or other "official" government accounts post to Twitter, that everyone should be able to view all the (public) tweets of those accounts without requi

The reason I have multiple "reservations" and only use one, is because it's quite honestly the only way to ensure I might have a chance at one of them having a car for me. Literally yesterday I showed up at the airport, armed

Another case of a status page that is completely useless. https://api.twitterstat.us/ is all green as is https://status.twitterstat.us/ . Why even have them if it's not accurate?

Low/no fees mostly. A standard bank account at the big banks gives you few Interac transactions, for example, unless you either pay $12.99 a month or have >$3,000 in your account at all times. Tangerine provides unlimited Interac pa

Possible the higher instances are related to the fact that schools no longer do routine screening for lice. No more school nurse and no more chopsticks checks monthly means that they have a chance to spread amongst the kids before anyone no

Indeed they are. We battled the lice on multiple occasions with our two girls (in Canada). Pre-COVID, there was nothing we wanted to see less than a letter from the daycare or school about a lice case in the room. Lice are a pain in the but
