I've used saily when I went on a trip to the Dominican Republic for 10 days. I didn't need a lot of data, just enough for maps outside the resort, etc. But it was crazy affordable, and their customer support was prompt, friendly, and helpful when I needed a bit of assistance with the activation.

All in all, I'd use saily again in the future.

I see declining birth rates as a good thing. There's too many humans and we abuse our planet. If we die out, so be it. I personally have refused to have children because I don't want to subject a child to this. Maybe our population can decline to something more easily sustained in the future with clean energies and healthy foods. But right now with UPFs making us sick, climate change destroying our ecosphere, and general corporate greed and lobbying taking us for every penny we have, I do not think it fair to subject a new child to that.

While not legally binding, the opinion is expected ‌to be cited in climate-related legal cases worldwide.

So... Still just meaningless and toothless posturing then... Got it.

Quad9 is fine. Don't let that user scare you. Here's a quote from Quad9's own privacy policy section regarding data sales:

Traditionally 2 spaces after the period at the end of a sentence is correct. It is still considered correct to this day, though is the "old" method.

1 space is not the only correct way.

The first EV's coming into Canada via the new Chinese agreement are definitely not value priced vehicles. The low price tag isn't a requirement of the agreement for several more years. For now, high priced vehicles like the lotus car with a price tag that contains 6 digits (!) Is what is coming over. Honda could pre-empt that, but for some reason are choosing not to. I will not be purchasing a Chinese EV, and wish I could get one from Honda instead. This just reduces my options.

That seems a bit extreme. A single loss year doesn't mean immediate collapse. Honda has always been synonymous with reliability and I have no doubt's that their reputation along with them pausing projects that aren't likely to give good returns (like the EV plant as much as it sucks), will help them rebound.

Solidifying the policy of dragging us down along with the sinking ship of oil and gas.

Thanks...

He pled guilty, accepted his judgment without argument, and has shown genuine remorse. Is this not the kind of person we want more of here? Yes, he did a horrible thing, but the situation was a result of forces much larger than this one man.

Thirty per cent of those calls were within five blocks of Prairie Harm Reduction, which offered support services to people living with addictions and operated the city's only supervised drug consumption site until it closed last month.

So... Mr. Moe, tell me again why we didn't need those supervised sites? Instead of having dedicated staff on-hand and ready to assist overdoses, we added pressure to an already strained emergency response system? Lovely. Good work there Slow Moe.
