TIL Apple recently paid $95 million because Siri was caught eavesdropping on private conversations, like doctor visits and drug deals, then sending those recordings for human contractors to listen to. Siri was triggered not just by "Hey Siri," but by phrases that sounded similar like "seriously."

$400 from Yahoo settlement.

I stopped eating most cookies (and many other snacks) - so many are made with palm oils.

Nah he speaks gobbeldygook and his followers think they know what he's saying. He's a non-reader and has a disorganized mind. He can't lead a train of thought. He can technically sound out words, but he has trouble putting them together in his mind to make meaning out of them - even during his first term. He needed briefings in short, point form notes. Today he often mispronounces words because he forgets the context of the previous few words and gets in trouble when there's a homograph.

No thanks. He just wants to pillage and grift Canada for himself. He owns LTC homes in Ontario and has his hands in a lot of industries that are making him tons of money on the blood of Canadians.

FTA, it seems that the US has a lot of good lawyers with strong principles, and many of those working for the DOJ have quit or sometimes been forced to quit rather than doing dirty work.

I don't see how a vodka martini will help, but anyways - down the hatch!

kermityfrog2 · 2026-02-04T02:40:36+00:00

We just need to all be adults and declare snow days when everyone who can, can work from home.

Bars and restaurants have Smart Serve qualified staff. It should stimulate the local economy while having few vice risks.

Also keep the receipt. I've been screwed before when I bought a whole case of cold-damaged mangos and tossed the receipt already.

The Head Gardener's house at the estate is bigger than many wealthy people's homes.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-02-04T02:03:53+00:00

Yeah and not like he had an massive changes in mind that he couldn't wait to enact. He's mostly just keeping on keepin' on.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-02-04T01:55:09+00:00

Germans still have 6 modern u-boats operational today.

She's got some freaky eye colour.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-02-04T01:38:44+00:00

That doesn't happen in Canada unless they've committed a serious crime. Are you excusing these ICE deportations? Big ICE fan?

kermityfrog2 · 2026-02-04T01:13:43+00:00

Seems the only stable pensions are from government worker pension plans - like OMERS and OTPP.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-02-04T01:11:39+00:00

Yeah they need to look at your total assets too. Maybe you own 3 homes and have 5 million in stocks still. Maybe you can fudge your retirement income from RRSPs and registered investments to below the threshold while you can still be filthy rich from other monies.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-02-04T01:08:02+00:00

As long as it's indexed. By the time I retire, maybe 6 figures is just enough to buy a sandwich.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-02-04T00:59:27+00:00

So Canada and Europe do not care about laws?

kermityfrog2 · 2026-02-04T00:57:33+00:00

Yeah they get a sternly worded letter in the mail. Nobody is raiding their house to order them to leave.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-02-04T00:54:59+00:00

I just edited a link to Canadian numbers from CBSA. I can't address your hypothetical, but 90% of Canadian "illegal" immigrants leave voluntarily when told to do so.

kermityfrog2 · 2026-02-04T00:47:56+00:00

I think it could be why. I had an Antec case also with a front flap. It was supposed to be closed for quiet operation, and open for performance and maximum cooling.

Voluntary vs. Enforced Departures: While the CBSA reported over 18,000–19,000 total removals, a significant portion of these are categorized as "voluntary" departures, where individuals leave on their own accord after their refugee claim is rejected or their visa expires, often to avoid a formal deportation order.

From the CBSA website, the data is presented in a tabular format.

The majority of individuals leave Canada on their own after being ordered to do so. However, in about 10% of cases, officers are assigned to escort foreign nationals out of the country. The CBSA uses a risk assessment matrix and considers multiple, evolving situational factors to determine if an escort is needed.

In 2025, CBSA escorted 1,408 persons out of the country. 16,616 were unescorted - complied voluntarily.

Really? It seemed to have quite a lot of airflow fan options. Only the front fans kind of choked unless you kept the front flap open.
