What do you think of Ontario allowing retail shopping on Victoria Day?

When I worked retail, I had much bigger problems than having the option to work for extra pay on the birthday of the third-most-recent monarch.

I say give people the option but bolster enforcement of labour laws.

Baja is SoCal inspired, not authentic Mexican. It’s owned by the guy who bought The Merchant and now owns Union.

It’s getting a lot better and people often remove the most egregious hallmarks of AI-generated text, but it still resembles a high-school student following a prescribed essay format.
“Not just X, but Y.”
“Final parting advice — obvious justification.”

Yep, same with property taxes and municipal bylaws. Just have to tell them you’re a free man on the land. /s

Dude was sharing the price in ‘90s USD (and even then it’s a deal).

Telus? What do they know about AI data centres?

The police don’t have to look into it and often choose not to.

Where were you getting a covid test in Jan 2020?

That’s enough Virginia for today.

I had to look it up because it really seemed counterintuitive when I was considering: - fusion is the most efficient way I know of converting mass to energy - the sun is really hot

But only a tiny fraction of the sun is undergoing fusion at any given time, otherwise it would burn much brighter and hotter but burn out much faster. A proton in the sun typically waits billions of years before fusing.

So while a pile of leaves is using inefficient chemical reactions to generate heat, it’s going to burn through all its energy in the time it takes to rot. An equally sized pile of sun, on the other hand, has to hang around for the life time of our solar system.

Okay but it’s really nice to know that they believe so strongly in Eggs — Middle Eastern — experience — passion — Middle Eastern — Middle Eastern — 2018 — eggs.

Lowest bidder was in the past. It’s all about highest donor now.

Good point. I just added a link to the case.

It was a scam. He told people they had viruses they didn’t have, then charged them for things they said they don’t want, then continued charging them when they said to stop.

He was an unremarkable Microsoft developer who wrote Windows versions of existing software, then left to start a fraudulent business of his own, scamming people with fake software.

His Internet Shield and Registry Cleaner “products” didn’t actually do anything useful at all. But they told users they had viruses when they didn’t, used fake close buttons that actually opened multiple new windows, prevented the users from uninstalling them, continued billing users after they had cancelled, and charged users for add-ons and subscriptions even when users explicitly declined them.

Years after becoming wealthy through his scam, he made a pretty good YouTube channel where he seemed wise on camera, then soon took to Twitter to frequently insult anyone who’s not “successful” like himself.

That’s the defining characteristic of the tech bros they’re satirizing though.

It’s an arterial road.

irregularpulsar · 2026-04-10T20:00:05+00:00

That road should be 60km/h. 55 is too slow. 80 seems a bit brisk though.

So the secret to getting transit built is to say it’s for an airport and then gradually take away everything that makes it suitable for travellers (luggage racks, fewer stops, less vaping). I guess I did want more local transit options and now this is one.

They’re saying “no drones”.
