I was really iffy about this but I like the idea of having the library reformatting the drive after the return. Sure there is still firmware hacks or hacks that could be transferred to the library but if someone is going to do that I think there are other things to worry about.
And I think the OS needs to be a variant of Linux, really get the push away from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sun, etc.
There is a problem with that, the Canadian market is drying up for US companies. They are dammed if they stay and dammed if they leave. The leaving part is probably less expensive in their eyes.
Scientific articles should be published and freely available to everyone, at least that is my belief. I understand patents, as it forces more science as people look for alternatives to do the same thing.
Of course they are worried, they should have started the move to electric years ago. Instead they have been lobbying for gasoline.
I got drunk once in high school, I didn’t know what I was drinking had alcohol in it. I was of the belief that the drugs I was on and my brain injury alcohol would be a no good. I have not gotten drunk since then, I have more than doubled my life experience points since than so I know this won’t affect me but I think it is a good idea.

The notwithstanding clause used to be the nuclear option, I wish it still was.
Fair point the normies are the ones who those ads are aimed at, not the people who are on here. I use Nebula, again I paid for the life time membership hoping it would be around for longer than the three years or whatever. I use it but there are things on youtube that are not on Nebula.
I started boycotting most of the Google services prior to Trumps first term, it took a couple of years for me to remove everything from gmail but it was worth the effort.
I use two piholes on my network to block ads and trackers, every so often I try to get a VPN working so that I can use my pihole setup when I am away from home.
I am transitioning away from being an Apple user so when my Google boycott started I just adopted Apple News, because of the boycott US movement I have moved to CBC news. I am sure there are other apps/services but after cancelling all my streaming services I decided to pay for CBC Gem. Sure I was not seeing ads on the Gem app with pihole but I do not have access to the news without it.
I was fine with paying for YouTube premium when I had started the Google boycott because ads got wacky (think Cialis followed by some adolescent zit remover), if there was a good youtube alternative I would have moved to it. I still use iOS so I thought I was going to be stuck with youtube ads until I can get my home theatre pi set up but I found the app Unwatched.
The Google does not care about the fake ads that it publishes unless enough people complain or stop using a service. As a Canadian I have stepped back from paying google, either with money or my eyeballs.
When I was moving away from gmail I started using Apple’s hide my email, but when the boycott started I moved all my passwords to 1Password and moved my domain from .com to .ca while moving to hosthero I have a blog but I also got the unlimited email package I give everything I sign up for its own email address. I am worthless to advertisers and love it!
I had to really make sure this was not the Beaverton, I prefer sitting at the very back so I do not get the reclining seats. Unless the plane is not loaded enough or whatever the heck I get free upgrades to first class.
Another hack I have to get to the front of the plane is hobble into the airport with a recovering dislocated knee. Make it appear real good maybe relocate your other kneecap a few times in front of the check in clerk!
Love this! If I was in hill billy Alberta instead of hill billy Saskatchewan I would have been there.
The university class would have been in the late 2000’s the Stats Canada computer would have been in the late 2010’s.
I think the whole thing started in 98 with Wakefield and his claim that MMR vaccine caused autism.
If I remember correctly he wasn’t even an antivaxer rather he wanted to sell his schedule.
Oh it did not even occur to me that it’s that time of the year again. The only times that this time change stuff has effected me in my adult life was one fall, I showed up to class an hour early once or I went to do some government work an hour early. I live in Saskatchewan and the showing up to class an hour early was because my phone decided I was not in Saskatchewan, after that mix up I have stayed on top of making sure my electronics do not believe I follow that silliness. Years later while I was working for Statistics Canada the stupid software had no idea how to handle Saskatchewan not following that silliness so I showed up to someones home and hour early.
I am hoping they flush PP down with all his shit with the leadership review, but I fear of what comes after his bull shit.
Me being an activist I have recently been doing a lot of letter writing to the Government of Canada, I have sent letters to PP’s office trying to hopefully take advantage of him leaving by telling his office that he should stand for whatever I was letter writing about (sorry I do a lot of letter campaigns and do not remember what it was I sent his office, I wanna say removing Canadian Data from US servers but I could be wrong I do not remember if he was in office or not when I started that campaign), but I told his office that he should start making noise about the topic prior to the leadership review so that when it comes time for choosing a new leader he is not chosen “because there are no other better options, but because he did whatever.” Their are millions of better options than him, even if he did take a stand and try to do something good for the country.
I am guessing it is to keep trump from flinging his poop at us more.
All my paperless bills come to one of my email addresses, I look at it and then delete it. I have yet to see an error. I make sure that the money comes out of my account when it is supposed to.
You can still review it prior to it going through.

Trump is there for Trump, if he could make money “personally” he would tell the alliance to attack. The alliance needs to look at leadership after Ukraine becomes a member.
