are you sure we can afford this house, it’s 75 whole dollars!

For real though, my friend lived in the two bedroom upstairs apartment of a former single family house for about $2000 CAD a month and when browsing old newspapers online, I saw that the house was selling for the modern equivalent of $250k CAD in 1980. This is a SFH in the downtown area of what is now a 1.5m metro area… the house would sell for >$1m now

IE was really bad for web compatibility in that it really did not properly support the specs.

Ignoring that, I’ve found any browser you don’t normally use is a lot snappier only because you don’t have any extensions installed

Fair point. I wouldn’t want to subject anyone to that

New York should just become Southern Ontario

Yuuuup this is my company too. They’re monitoring our GH Copilot /Cursor usage and they’re going to apply to our performance reviews

Right? They have a terrible rep but they’re pretty fair in my experience. The only time I’ve angered one was when I stepped too close to take a picture of her babies and she did this grass filled mouth hiss at me like a cat. Which to be fair, is fair

Yeah I kind of believe that NA would work better as a bunch of smaller countries in an agreement similar to the EU. I say that as a Canadian who’s politics aren’t as much a dumpster fire too

He’s just trying to get our CDN back to an equal level with USD :)

I grew up mostly with the PS2 and above and I thought the same thing 😅. I did think there had to be a better way though

I feel like that’s probably our nuclear option and we’re holding out for now since it’s likely Trump chickens out again

How dare the Canadian government get American companies to pay their fair share for operating here [in Canada]

I asked OP to update the title in another comment which they did (and appreciate) but it made this comment of mine confusing 😅. The original title didn’t have any mention of which country. It just said they were adding a paywall

The original title just said something like “BBC is now paywalled” making it sound like it applied to more than 1 of the 195 (worldometers.info recognised) countries in the world.

I’m not British but it’d be pretty alarming to hear that the BBC was adding a paywall that applied to the British if I was British

Awesome thanks! 😊

I love the US defaultism even when they’re talking about another country’s public news station

(edit: the title originally just said it was adding a paywall without mention of any country)

BBC announced it’s introducing a paywall for consumers in the U.S

It seems like it’s only for the US? If that’s true can you update the title OP

That’s sad to hear honestly. I thought city politics would be the one place Americans could escape the two party BS

Huh, that kind of sucks to be honest. In Ontario (and I assume the rest of Canada), Mayoral elections don’t have parties involved at all. It’s just individuals and your city ward’s individual candidates. Truthfully, the candidates often have some former experience with a provincial or federal party (or at least an endorsement, but they don’t run under any party banners)

I think it makes more sense that way since local politics work a lot differently than state/provincial and higher politics.

I’ve been kind of confused about this whole thing. In the US, are even mayoral elections Democrat VS Republican? What happens if more than two people want to run for mayor?

Fuck the rich, fuck the racists/sexists/homophobes/etc., and fuck any MAGAts who somehow aren’t covered by the previous

100% agreed
