Lynx obviously.

I am going to go back to MH for email too.

exactly. Houses in big cities are not expensive because they are better than houses in the bush. The house isnt worth shit, in fact burning it down might make the property more valuable. The land is what has value.

There will be no way to avoid it completely short of hiding in a cave all day. As for it being over... the results will most likely be known by days end, but since one side is committed to not accepting those results the next few weeks could be unprecedented.

What I learned from living in the US during the previous 2 elections :

There is no real upside to watching this closely. Like the comments on a Youtube video, for your own mental health just dont.

Maybe try explaining what you meant instead of complaining that everyone is misunderstanding you. I dont see any context clues in there to indicate you mean anything other than the standard accepted meaning of "soyboy"

I have D+ here in Canada and have never seen an ad. It is actually a pretty good deal here as it includes STAR (hulu equivalent). I only watch it on my TV but I dont think it would be any different on mobile as it is still the D+ app.

Need to factor in the carbon cost of constructing a new vehicle vs running a less efficient one for longer. Disposal and possible recycling of old vehicles, also not free. Upgrades to the charging grid and construction of charging locations for all those new vehicles. Brakes and tires also cause significant pollution and are still an issue no matter the power unit of the car.

Then compare all that to building trams and light rail in metro areas instead of building cities to accommodate cars, roads and parking lots instead of humans.

I bought a Butterball yesterday at my local YIG and it was $5.49/kg

Not the best price I have ever seen, but not terrible.

Installing Steam is easy-peasy and well worth it. The only issues I have had so far with Proton is that the convoluted file structure makes it hard to remember where to put manually installed gamed mods for BeamNG.

Fallout was the first time they showed me ads and made their service less convenient than piracy. Now I dont even bother. If they have something I am interested in I DL it. I still have a subscription since it comes with my item delivery service.

My family and I moved from the US to Canada in the summer of 2023 and last week was the first time I had to make use my Services Card. I went to the ER in excruciating pain, had blood and urine labs done, a shot of pain killers then waited around (a long time) for a CT scan. The doctor said it might be a new record, but I had been bumped a few times by suspected stroke patients that came in, so totally understandable. Several hours later with a prescription slip in hand I exited the hospital. Easy as pie.

For anyone who has never had the displeasure of experiencing an American hospital you can not understand how much simpler and less stressful and cheap the Canadian system is. I dont know what it would have cost me in the USA, probably whatever my insurance deductible was, but it certainly was not $0. That state of not knowing what all this is going to cost you, and how you will afford it, makes an already awful experience even worse. Not being harassed for money on the way out, never once discussing the cost of something with the DR was truly eye opening.

TL:DR Thanks BC Health. You are not perfect but you are amazing. Anyone promoting American style health care here in Canada has either never experienced that gong show or is independently wealthy enough not to have to think about the costs.

(kidney stone for anyone who is curious. it was horrible)
