Ever since the T450 the trackpoint has been awful. Can't replace the nob anymore either, as the convex knob was arguably the best
I have an X1 Carbon 2023. It's pretty solid, the only complaint I have is once the CPU usage is over 10% the fan starts running full blast.
because productivity is the important metric, GDP per hours worked measures this, and better demonstrates the quality of life given to citizens. European productivity is beating American productivity. American GDP is…
Adjust GDP per hours worked, you will find Europe has eclipsed the US in terms of productivity. The US has the benefit of the government borrowing insane amounts of money to juice it's economy, by being the world…

Similar story in Canada. Violent crime and serious crime is on a clear downward trend. Yet in most majour cities you a less safe, and the public transit system is more dangerous than ever. Not sure about the UK, at…

The big scam is some terminals are configured with 17% forex fees (looking at your shady restaurants in Budapest), really funny when it's paired with tips in an EU country. But this is why Revolut and WISE cards are a…

1. A lot of math crops up in unexpected ways in everyday life. Trig in construction & wood working, calculus & integration when doing finance, &c. 2. It's not about teaching how to crunch numbers, it's also teaching…
The French love their flowers. One of the most amazing things about Paris was how every patch of earth was bursting with flowers.

Hydro is just for QC, ON and BC where the electrical companies have "hydro" in their name. Other parts of the country just call it power/electrical. But in NS my grand parents would also call it a "light bill".
There's also labour participation and underemployment to look at. In your case underemployment would go up. You need to look at all metrics together to get a bigger picture. Example is unemployment is down, but so is…
With their market share they are by definition of monopoly. Monopoly doesn't mean "only store front", it just means majourity market share to the point they control the market. People forget there's nothing inherently…
Agreed. Steam is also a monopoly but it doesn't abuse it's monopoly. E.g. impose terms like games can't release on other stores for a lower price &c. Nothing stopping a competitor from coming in with a superior game…
Good. I hope provinces extend this to all critical exports, including potash, nickle, uranium and oil. The US deserves to suffer for this trade war. You guys elected this dictator from Temu, you should bleed as much as…
I agree she's tainted which makes her a bad choice to be his successor. But people have short memories and I think in 3-4 years the Trudeau stains will have washed off. In that time she'll have a chance to make a name…
Go listen to the statements the PMs made after their all provinces meetings. A lot of it is "back off from our turf". Previous govts had a minister who's only job was managing provincial-federal relations and making…
The problem with Trudeau's government is he didn't/doesn't consult with provinces very much. They continue to announce programs and initiatives that live in the territory of the provinces without provincial buy in. If…
This is the crux of the issue honestly. Trudeau should have had the humility to read the writing on the wall in the fall, and stepped down so we could have a stable government to deal with the incoming US administration…
Canada is updating their model to be the worst of PM2.5 and their traditional models of common pollutants. Part of the issue is the existing model does an average over 3 hours, where PM2.5 can change rapidly (fire,…
