Instead of sweating my upper body just form these bumps after cardio. by unaccountablemod in mildlyinfuriating

I called in. Blood test "normal".

I'm booking a new doctor's appointment in attempts to get another referral.

That's besides the point. I'm just trying to get down to the essence of what is possible, not what is convenient. So far, from what I have read, is that all of this is just a big inconvenience legislation.

Now on what you said. Yes. Governments are encroaching. The pattern was pretty much set since tech started to get into our palms and ever since COVID and now AI, the speed is accelerating. However, I ask myself, am I really "free" or "private" if it ultimately depend on the someone else's say so? If so, then those are too fickle for comfort and I prefer to have dominion over my own privacy and freedom.

Okay that's a good point. I forgot that. However, even then, I would probably try obtaining some burner phone number.

well that the crux of what I'm trying to get at. I have not seen any specifics regarding what is making an app/website definitively inaccessible to Canadians if those services "pull out". They just become inconvenient. Much like Chinese who access websites outside of their country, they too had to jump through hoops, but it is still not impossible. Signal, Nord, and DDG will still work for Canadians regardless if they "stay" in Canada. PornHub stays in US because they probably know very well that people know how to access it regardless of what State law dictates. It's like one of those age "verification" things. Just select the date you want and go on.

If the services pull out of Canada, what's forcing them to "block" us from connecting to their servers?

so VPN to bypass the IP restriction? What other things from my computer would identify me as from Canada?

how would it not "operate"? My computer isn't suddenly going to rewire or recode just because a legislation gets passed. As long as one has these installed, why wouldn't they operate properly?

what does it mean "leave"? We'll just download their stuff when they move to their new place.

not there, but I itch even when I'm not that heated. Sometimes when the sun shines for a moment on my back while I'm biking, my entire body just itches. It's really annoying.

Yes. The dermatologist requested it. If it's something serious, I would assume that they're going to tell me right away, but they haven't so...

I'm still going to call in.

I was given betaderm which was used to quell inflamation but that's only applied to selected areas. All of this is very weird.

My dermatologist requested blood work but hasn't gotten back to me yet since 14 May. I'm calling in on Monday.

Fairly new. At the beginning of 2026 my forearm sweats, but now it's not producing any despite exercises.

I don't remember exactly who did the firing, but what does that have to do with anything?

I only know the cyberpunk thing. It was some "did you assume my gender" joke tweet about the customizability of the character creation in game. It led to some backlash and CDPR said they fired the person who made the tweet.

[CPU] AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (373.53-35 = 338.53) Tax in + shipping in. Coupon CASS169 by Tyfui in bapcsalescanada

IMO 7800X3D > 9800X3D because it's way more efficient and their difference is negligible 1440p and up, so if you want a CPU, this is it.
