"Canadian content"? How many Great White North episodes can we tolerate? One can only stomach so many Molson commercials. And, really, do I want to watch another documentary on maple syrup, or beavers? Like the majestic Canadian cobra chicken, take off, eh.

And what do we do about the national security risk from domestic propaganda? Aka Fox "News."

What we need is to wall them off so they can't harm the rest of us. Like ship them to Alcatraz, since Trump wants to re-open it.

I frequently drive through the NYC metro area, and Long Island, and I can't freakin' wait until vehicle control is automated; especially there. On the rural backroads, it's kinda fun to just pay attention to the road and follow the curves. In metro areas, it's just awful: all it takes is one person to screw up, and the entire area is shut down. And god forbid that anyone actually exhibit some consideration when merging.

I'd call them hypocrites.

I bought a product for $30 retail from DigiKey, and the tariff was $3, or 10%. This was a couple of weeks ago, before the up-down-up see-saw in tariffs. So the effective tariff was on retail, in my case. DigiKey clearly showed the tariff per product on the line item, which was convenient.

DigiKey was already doing this. I bought something a couple of weeks ago and the tariff was listed as a line item in the cost.

As a lad, I promised to repay mum for a bike she bought me after my other one was stolen. Under a certain age, many jobs are just not available, but I'd heard you could make money picking strawberries at the local farm. So, bright and early the next day, I rode my new bike to the strawberry farm and spent all summer day picking berries. At the end of the day, I made maybe $5; this is early '80s money. But it was brutal: bent over for hours; hot sun; pesky bugs. I didn't go back the next day; fk that. So I'm curious about your friend's "fond" remembrances.

You're implying that one will automatically die in an older car, and that a newer car will keep you safe, neither of which are necessarily true.

They stop trade insofar as consumers stop buying things. Which is where I'm at, now.

I've had a Kirby for almost 25 years, and it still runs solidly. Thing's built like a tank - and weighs as much - but runs really well. Easy to maintain, too.

Aren't most normal alarm systems on battery backup? I'm not an expert in that field, but that would seem like a primary requirement.

The "plan" being largely who to blame with things go sideways.

Orthodontists. Those fkrs have so much money, they seek out money-losing ventures to offset their gains and keep their taxes low.

Really. You'd need a thermal bag to enclose the entire seat.
