Well, we do share a land border with Denmark. Sooooo…. we’re practically European already!

Arctic first then Voyager. I find Arctic does a better job handling animated media files like GIFs etc.

The first time I saw this thing it was marketed as something to hold a pair of eye glasses on the front of a shirt if you don’t have a pocket. One half goes on the inside of your shirt and the other goes on the outside. They’re held together, in place, with really strong magnets.

I’m wearing my first pair of Bucks boots right now. Great hand made alternative to the Blundstones I’ve been wearing at work for years. A tiny bit cheaper too.

Buy the dip. I more than doubled my position in YNVD on Monday when it was plummeting. As far as I’m concerned, I got a 20% discount on something I was already buying.

It’s about time! Pretty asinine that my SwitchBot can have the icon of a robot vacuum but it can only function as an on/off light switch in the Home app.

When you are writing the date, the only correct way is ISO8601 (YYYY-MM-DD). If you’re speaking to someone (verbal communication) then do whatever you want.

You do the Dew, do you? Higher caffeine American condensed water vapour or the weaker Canadian stuff?

Puts on tinfoil hat… Ok, so I heard, the Mexicans couldn’t keep up with demand for cane sugar Coke in border towns so they had to start using HFCS to be able to pump out enough product. Because of more relaxed labeling laws they didn’t have to tell anyone.

On a more serious note, have you ever tried Jones Soda? They use cane sugar and they make the best cream soda you’re ever gonna taste. Probably harder to find now that every corner store has wiped out all beverage inventory in favour of beer. Seriously, it’s just beer and energy drinks now.

Just about anything to do with food is because Canadian versions (much like European versions) don’t have as many nasty ingredients. Just look up Canadian vs American Froot Loops as the most visually striking example (food dyes that are ok in USA but illegal in Canada & EU). I’ve heard Oreos taste completely different in The States too.

Just thought of another example… Americans driving south to get Mexican Coke because they were still using sugar cane instead of high fructose corn syrup.

Look into Romania, Poland, Switzerland and Luxembourg. All good choices. Strong privacy laws and lenient copyright laws. Not part of 5, 9 or 14 eyes either.

Confirmed. I saw two Tesla transports heading east on the 401 with a few Cybertrucks on them. They look a lot smaller in person.

There’s at least one YT channel that keeps popping up in my recommendations that focuses on “Tofu dregs”. All infrastructure, not just residential buildings.

 

That’s +28°C by the way
