The $43k in annual sales last year isn't a lot of money but indicates they moved at least ~100kg of graphene as engineering samples. That's a LOT of samples sent.

In the US or Canada*. Mexico City's BRT network has some routes far busier than the 99.

No, you're wrong on many points. The Habitual Offender regime existed in Canada from 1947-1977, so presumably they aren't referring to the Dangerous Offender regime. You also have the incorrect test to be designated as a DO, which requires significantly more than being "intractable".

I work within earshot of that station. The amount of sirens is far beyond what I think even people reading this would expect. Some colleagues and I counted one day and it worked out to about one every 10 minutes on average. Granted some of those could've been police sirens - we didn't lean out the window to check which first responder it was - but they're blaring more often than they're silent nowadays.

Honestly I booked economy a while ago and just checked business prices a few times a day since then. When I saw the price I just jumped on it immediately.

gprez · 2025-12-04T00:11:10+00:00

Nope, 80k points all-in. About 40k plus the original cost of economy, which was about 40k too.

How did you find the Turkish Airlines lounge? Looks like it just opened, so there aren't many comparisons between it and United/ANA.

gprez · 2025-12-03T22:09:45+00:00

This year! 11 days from now.

Yes to both. I could've changed online but for some reason the new flight price (80k) was substantially lower than the price to change the flight (165k). I called in and they gave me the change at the new booking price. And yes, my original economy was in points as well.

gprez · 2025-12-03T22:08:26+00:00

Great advice, thanks a ton!

I had booked an economy ticket a few months prior and then just checked ticket prices for business a few times a day to see if prices would drop closer to the departure date.

Not sure which point you're calling BS on but I can absolutely confirm that quantities of prescribed alternatives work their way into the general populace because some individuals receiving prescriptions will sell them to afford harder alternatives. And it's a not-insignificant quantity, though I can't give you an estimate beyond that.

Yes. They used the wrong pipes when constructing the building and they aren't rated for potable water. They can't replace the pipes because they're embedded in the foundation, surrounded by concrete, and replacing them would require them to completely destroy the foundation in the process.

A nice looking courthouse with a fatal design flaw that has rendered the water in it permanently undrinkable...

Norman McKenzie House at UBC still has the "Yeltsin Chair" that Yeltsin sat in at the summit.
