Yes. Android already does all these things. But I think the things I’m excited most about are not on this list at all.

  1. A private local LLM. With the on-device context of my notes, messages, calendar, etc, I’m rather excited to have a more personal LLM than ChatGPT.

  2. Personal messaging via satellite. I love that I can stay in touch with people outside of a cell network.

The programmer in me definitely noticed the formatting issue.

For the record, my name isn’t actually Mike Smith.

So, I assume Fox is selling this to RTV. The big issue I see is that future shows are made to potentially sell in the future. They first air in America, then get sold to Russia. All written with the end goal of selling to Russia.

Tenants don’t have to foot unpaid tax bills for foreign landlords: minister - National | Globalnews.ca ( globalnews.ca )

“I want to reassure Canadians that the Canada Revenue Agency does not intend to collect any portion of any non-resident landlords’ unpaid taxes from individual tenants,” read a statement released by Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau on X, formerly known as Twitter, Friday afternoon....

I’m happy with that as long as there are strict rules to allow the tenant to keep renting at the current rate.

So, the owner of this specific store posted it. As much as I hate how Loblaws has been capitalizing on peoples’ needs, this isn’t Loblaws, it’s the owner of one store.

But this also breaks labour laws. For-profit organizations can’t hire volunteers because it breaks minimum wage laws. An exception would be an internship for school.

Best thing to do is report it.

They do. It’s likely that they aren’t aware that this store is trying to pull something illegal. Another form of action is to message Loblaws about this to make them aware.

It sounds like the Labour Relations Board should be made aware of this branch.

“Metro” is used formally and is a formal designation used for things like statistical purposes.
“Greater” is less formal and is used by the general public.
I’ve heard Greater Vancouver far more than Metro Vancouver, but with those definitions, there are likely both.

You can also order HEPA filters for those furnaces that filter smoke well. And if you have enough of those filters, you can tape one to the front of a box fan for a makeshift air purifier.

The IRS is not something we should be comparing ourselves to. They’re incredibly understaffed.

It’s like a tech company saying it has too many employees because they compare themselves to the employee count at Twitter. Sure, the numbers are small there, but…

Women were talking about men in general. Some men took it as though they specifically were being targeted. If women don’t feel comfortable running alone at night because men can be predators, men in general should listen. When I hear that, I don’t take offence. I’m with you, I’ve never done anything. But we should be trying to figure out ways that women can feel more comfortable around men. Women shouldn’t need to feel like they have their guard up, and listening is the first step.

No. You’re not a source of terror. But people don’t know that. They just see a man. The issue isn’t with you, it’s with common experiences women have had with men.

There are so many bears that don’t hurt humans. But humans carry bear spray just in case the one they encounter is dangerous.

Correct answer. Sometimes I get things wrong, but I do my best to learn how I can do things to be more like this. Whatever label that is.

It’s actually really good. It’s based off the book, and covers Snow and his interaction with the 10th hunger games.

I agree it could have been split in 2. I felt that way after I read the book.

This should be for everyone. If we really want to cut omissions, reduce traffic, spend less on infrastructure, and make more walkable cities, we should tax cars more and use the funds to pay for free transit for all.

They found the same with library fines. The amounts weren’t deterring people from not returning their books. People generally return books. The issue was that those who were hit with fines either paid them off or couldn’t. And those who couldn’t, usually needed the books more than anyone. The same can be said with public transit.

If we really want to be a functioning economy where people can afford to both live and work, giving people a reliable, affordable means of transportation is one of the first steps.

Call centres exist because people can’t get the help they need by searching. Take away call centres, and you’re just making it more difficult for customers.

Or that they can buy the plane ticket first, then apply for the grievance discount later…
