So is there like an agency or a special design house that explicitly creates unique travel mug + lid configurations and thread pitch for a) different companies and b) different years/lines for the same company? It MUST be a centralized effort for them to be consistently incompatible. How wasteful.

Yesterday, a hilarious situation kept unfolding in a Halifax cafe I was in - their ice machine was being cleaned ("would be working again in 40mins"), but there had been at LEAST half a dozen people that asked for iced drinks in the first 20-30 mins I was there. It was -12°C. Canadians are great lol

At what point is it treason? Just curious...
Danielle Smith enters in her official calendar that she’s on private vacation. Without informing Global Affairs Canada, shows up at Mar-A-Lago. Kevin O’Leary, who promotes US takeover of Canada, arranges a photo-op with Trump for her.
She’s doing private business with O’Leary and Trump.

When it comes to interactions with the customer service at a company, I'm not sure there's a method that is more appealing to me, but more instantly regrettable, than Chat. The requirement to keep the window active/visible is absolutely brutal on my ADHD when waiting for responses... 🫠

Notepad.exe should not have AI features, and my mind will NOT be changed regarding this.
I recently noticed *notepad* being laggy/stuttery when typing in it at high speeds, or using keyboard macros to enter text. This shouldn't be a thing at all - zero barriers between keypress and text please.

So the party election which earned Poilievre the leadership of the CPC was tinkered with by the Indian government by strong-arming MP Michelle Rempel.
And Poilievre refuses to get his security clearance, so he can't read the report.
Something's fishy.

CBC have release a bombshell story of how India has directly interfered with the Conservative leadership race to prevent Patrick Brown from winning.
CPC MP Michelle Rempel Garner, who was Browns co-chair was listed as being “pressured” by India.
Garner is now a passionate Poilievre supporter.

Just one week without random appointments or sick kids being home, that's all I ask - thankful I work from home, but it's so hard to stay in the zone and keep that work/life seperation

In the last couple years I've found myself withdrawing away from anything outside my home/family. It's so difficult make friends IRL (politics/values/schedule) - it feels like I would need to sacrifice time with my kids and place an unfair burden of work on my partner. Anyone else feel this?

And to get it, you had to have employment income in 2023.
So, people on AISH? Nothing.
Unhoused people? Nothing.
Stay-at-home parents? Nothing.
Retired people. Nothing.
And $250 one-time? 5 months from now? Really?

Radio-Canada and CBC News sources have also confirmed that the government intends to send individual cheques to Canadians in the spring. Sources said the government plans to send a $250 cheque to every Canadian whose individual income is less than $150,000.
