Honestly, same. I "passed" grade 8 French with a 51%, and it was a in-person correspondence course (school was remote and didn't have a French teacher, so we did the homeschooling course at the school).
There's an ok storyline, progression, more characters with very different equipment and backpack quirks, a town builder, and each stage is unlocked through questing, instead of just being thrown in and expected to go all the way through every run.
I literally just did that with backpack hero - the windows version through wine was having problems that made the game unplayable if I alt+tabbed, so I bought it for the native Linux version.
You can try setting up a VPN, eg headscale/tailscale with your home server being an exit node, and then just set up your questionable services on a domain that only resolves locally - and then you don't need to use authentik for authorisation to those services.
This is what I have been trying recently, and seems to work well.
Neurolink has been used on 1 disabled person, and it was "working" for about 2 weeks before it was announced there are "problems" with the connection to the brain.
I definitely agree that I am an outlier, but due to the size of Canada and how many remote towns there are (especially in western Canada, which Ontario and Quebec pretend don't exist), there are an unfortunately high number of outliers.
Honestly, more than getting everyone on full electric cars that don't have the range needed to compete convenience-wise, Canada needs to invest in better long distance transit options, be it better (preferably electrified) bus systems, or expanding on our train systems (and stop price gouging the very few passenger trains we have).
I will admit, looking io charging times, half an hour isn't so bad, now that BC hydro has put in/activated their level 3 charging stations.
When I purchased my current vehicle, there was not any non-tesla lvl 3 stations available, and even then there was only 1.
That being said, the available lvl 3 stations aren't near an amenity I would normally stop at, and would add nearly an hour to my current 12 hour round trip.
And again, my biggest problem with full electric vehicles in my situation is the charge time and charger availability, if the chargers available weren't for any reason, I would be SOL - and charger availability is a lot lower than gas stations even at the best of times
Gas engines needing to be plugged in or they don't start isn't relevant to why I can't trust an EV in the winter, it's the 25% loss of range at -8°C, and not wanting to get a hotel and stay somewhere overnight so that I may have the privilege of spending up to $0.41per minute to charge my car overnight so that I can make it home in winter, vs my current hybrid, where it takes 5 minutes total to stop at a gas station to top up my fuel.
And actually, the Government of Canada states that most consumer heat pumps tend to need supplemental heat around -15°C to -25°C, with only the most expensive "cold weather" variants managing anything colder.
See screenshot as I can't hyperlink to the exact line in question stating that.
...you are aware that battery efficiency drops drastically in cold weather right?
That doesn't magically get fixed by preheating the car, the batteries are not well insulated enough to stay at optimal running temperature at -30°C while going 100km/h, even if they have a dedicated heat pump, as heat pumps also lose efficiency below -20°C or so.
