For the record, most people in Alberta don't want to leave Canada. Me included. https://calgaryherald.com/news/support-for-independent-alber... Most of those 23% don't understand how geography works, and how

What's the population of these counties? The article says "(If your governance is so bad that half the state tries to leave, you're doing something wrong.)" -- but if half the population of the state really wants change,

The whole point of having a fleet is to have a fleet that says "We're ready to fight" and can demonstrate it. Having rusty ships with sailors who are barely trained, and some recent spectacular failures goes against this. h

That lagoon seems so custom-made for birds! Especially with the tide coming in and out. I've often driven up from the south, and am amazed that sometimes there's hardly any water at all, and then sometimes it's a deep lake.

The trick is to have the pi-hole in your home network, and have your router's DHCP server give it out as the DNS server. That way when you're home, you get the pi-hole, but when on the road, you get whatever DNS is given for the n

Giving HPV vaccines to teens (including boys) seems to be preventative.

I guess we were hearing different messages? I thought the vaccine message was "get vaccinated so you won't die when you get it."

This is the best troll comment ever :-) Look at the replies taking you seriously :-) Including me. When you have a lot of wireless devices, for every one you take off wireless, you have less radio traffic, less interference, and everyone

I guess they could use normal Microsoft Office (not the cloud version).

It may come as a surprise to you, but I don't even lock my front door. If the dog is inside the house, you can't hear his barks from outside of our property, by the way. Neighbour only heard him because he was right next to the h

TikTok is the short form of YouTube. Twitter is the short form of blogs. They're only 'social networks' in the sense that you can follow people. But not really your social circle, more like your circle of interests. Facebook

To be clear, he doesn't bark at people walking by the house. He barks at people who walk up the driveway, open the gate, and walk towards the house. He didn't bark until the guy was a meter or two away from the house. That'

I had neighbour, who lives across the street, call the police because my dog barked when he walked up my driveway. We weren't home at the time. He called because there was "an animal in distress." We pulled into the driveway

You know what seems to really work to slow people down? Speed-triggered red lights. Sure, people are more than willing to drive a speed they consider "safe" even if it's above the limit. But most aren't willing to run

Our (Northern Canadian) municipality stopped doing speed traps near school zones. Instead, they now have an automated radar that just tells you what your speed is. It seems to have solved the problem. Most people will slow down. They stil

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a consent decree something that all parties agree to, in order to avoid going to court?

Canada does both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgages. Just that we tend to do it for shorter periods. Typically 5 or 10 years. I have two fixed-rate mortgages with really low rates. They won't come up for renewal until 4 years

Technically correct. The best kind of correct. Tim Berners-Lee's office was in a building that was technically just inside France, as CERN straddles the border.

I didn't really see any of those steps as a nightmare :-) But perhaps we have a different level of tolerance. For me, it's convenient.

I've been able to install Windows 11 on "unsupported" 10-year old laptops with no issues. Use Rufus to download and create a bootable Windows 11 USB stick. It also has the option to bypass the hardware checks. https:/

We have Interac e-mail and SMS transfers in Canada. No need to give out bank details. Just give someone your e-mail or phone number and they can send you money via their bank app. They don't even need to know which bank you use.

Sadly, the first time this was considered by the EU was when all the phones were using Mini USB connectors. The same arguments back then. Of course, Mini USB is largely deprecated and not used these days. If they had forced Apple into Mini
