Canada Post should be a government service, not a profit center. We should not expect the Post Office to make a profit any more than we expect the military or the police to make a profit.

I have a ticket for that. Too bad I won't be able to go. 😭
It's just too hard to travel across the city by transit when using crutches to get around.

You could add stupidity to the list of FIFA's attributes. The main reason FIFA exists is to run the World Cup. The same event that the person they are sucking up to is trying to destroy.

I would make a lousy proof reader. Even after you pointed out that there was an error, I had to search to find it!

My guess is that it will open just in time for Ford to use it as an election prop.

Start with any convenient lightweight bust with a flat bottom. Put a 1/4-20 threaded insert into the bottom, and then you can use a camera tripod as a hat stand.

The one thing most people miss is that most of the commercially available hydrogen is derived from natural gas, so it's really just a fossil fuel in disguise.

A datacenter uses multiple megawatts of electrical power. All but a vanishingly small portion of that gets turned into heat.
How do you get rid of multiple megawatts of heat when you're located inside a universe sized vacuum bottle?

One of the things I want to do next year is see if I can outrun the LRT on my bicycle. I suspect the odds are very good that I can.

If you happen to come across them, hang on to any TPIC6C595 chips you come across. It's similar to the 74595, but the outputs are open drain high current MOSFETs.

From what I can see, those boats are all small open boats that simply don't even come close to having the range to cover the hundreds or even thousands of miles of open ocean to get to the USA.
The US is not at war, so it's not a war crime. It's simply government sponsored murder.

The college system in Ontario is in just as bad shape. The cost of teaching one of the skilled trades programs exceeds the amount of funding the government provides for it.
Oh, and Ford has said he's looking at 'adjusting' the funding formula again. I'm betting he wants to adjust it downward!

It wouldn't surprise me to discover that there's a law somewhere requiring expiry dates on all food and healthcare items.
In many cases, that date was chosen because "we tested it for this long." It may be good for longer, but it's untested, and so not guaranteed.

Probably for the same reasons the 741 is still popular. It's cheap, it's readily available, and it's "good enough" for a great many applications.

At the very least, the axe would be in a sheath, if only to protect the blade from damage. After that, if I couldn't fit it in my backpack, I'd have it in some sort of carrying bag. The place you bought it from could probably help with that.

The first thought that occurred to me is how will the system handle intersections? Will cross traffic be forced to drive over a two metre wide strip of ice, or will skaters be forced to walk across bare asphalt while wearing their skates?

Page 58 of the Ontario Traffic Manual seem to indicate that the vertical white bar is essentially a green signal for transit vehicles.

Finding a Ford bill that screws over the average person in the name of boosting corporate profits is easy. The much harder challenge is finding a bill that _doesn't_ do this.
