Canada could use another few provinces… California, interested?

Newspapers used to be displayed in boxes, and available for sale almost vending machine-style.

I imagine headlines were “buy-bait” back then. But maybe they weren’t quite as good at it, since it hadn’t been studied as much?

I pay $27.12 (taxes in) for more data than I need per month (~12GB). Grandfathered Freedom Mobile plan.

My co-worker paid $39,000 two years ago. It was ~$25,000 for us ~14 years ago.

That’s without insurance, right?

Yes. There’s the .ml instance. If they’re from there, they are a troll!

Doesn’t this kind of depend on where you live? Lol

I imagine it’s easier to catch uploaders than viewers.

It’s also probably more impactful to go for the big “power producers” simultaneously and quickly before word gets out and people start locking things down.

It’s a bit misleading to say they’re “random”. These are all children whose parents told T-Mobile to track for them. They’re seeing kids that aren’t theirs.

The issue isn’t that they’re random kids from the population or random T-Mobile customers, but that they’re kids that T-Mobile received consent to track and that information is being shared to the wrong people.

Obviously this is bad, but my point is that the data comes from somewhere. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but people need to be careful with what data they share with anyone or any organization.

Not sure how related it is, but in Canada, I’m seeing HDD and SSD prices generally being “on sale” for the regular prices from last year (same specs and everything!)

Yup. I use whatever feels best, which is usually American words, British spelling (except for the -ze instead of -se for words that end in a “z” sound).

Also, there are our own Canadianisms, like “washroom”.

I think a professional headline would usually just lack the comma there. Headlines typically have weird phrasing (due to their terseness), but they’re generally still grammatically sound.

I think “HackerNews owner hacked” would be a headline, rather than “HackerNews owner, hacked”.

“Have I Been Pwned owner pwned” seems to be on par with “Headline English” to me

It feels awkward to me. I don’t think it’s grammatically correct. To me, it doesn’t add any clarity, especially when the comma could’ve been the word “got” or something, lol

Why is there a comma in the, title?

I don’t like paying taxes to fund public services, but I don’t care what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms

Stripers! Things that stripe!

The only way a racist will support an “African American”

They should really just remove everyone’s page. Bring 'em all back when the voting population smartens up.

Meanwhile, there’s what, 20x more fentanyl coming into Canada from the US than from Canada into the US?

It’s not a regular ID to vote. It’s a regular ID.

You need an ID to vote, but you can use it for many other things too.

If getting an ID is a barrier for you to vote, then talk to your representatives and they might be able to help you out.

Black tea needs to be brewed pretty close to boiling, and even green tea is brewed at 185, the same temp as the McDonald’s coffee incident

What the f- oh, American units

I was wondering what the heck kind of green tea needed that kind of treatment, lol
