You can live just fine without tv. Better, in fact. Read books -- they are a lot more interesting.
Requiring a driver to navigate a touchscreen while driving is a needless distraction. Bring back buttons and knobs, things you can feel without looking, things that don’t move with every app refresh. Now if only VW…
We get lots of hummers on Vancouver Island and, I swear, when their feeder is empty they send an emissary to find me, buzzing around my head, saying feed me! Feed me!
In British Columbia my local health authority texts me to inform me my covid and flu vaccines are available. And both are free. Of course it is cost effective for the province as it is cheaper to give vaccines than…
The trail I followed for the TMB was not difficult, though difficulty depends on the trail you choose plus how much you want to cover in a day. I had good hiking boots, poles, rain gear, and a not-too-big pack with…
Interesting article, and it brings back a lot of memories. I've done three alpine hikes: the Tour du Mont Blanc, the Haute Route, and the Dolomites. The Dolomites were my favorite, for both the scenery (though all are…
It’s not just Colorado. Used to live in rural northern California and digging a $25k well (typical price I was quoted) came with no guarantee that water would be found.
It's not a dslr replacement, what a weird claim. My Nikons and Fujis are so much nicer to hold, to adjust, to shoot. But for a phone camera the s.w is ok. More adjustable than the iPhone app. I like the controls, the…
That so many do not see why vaccines are needed is a serious problem.
Check out Lightroom.
It's but one data point, so don't draw any conclusions, but my Canadian household's news consumption is unchanged. We get lots of news from the CBC, the Atlantic, the New Yorker, the Guardian, and the NY Times. Oh, and…
A scam? Really? I taught AP along with non-AP chemistry for a number of years and I think the AP program is a good fit for those students who plan on going to university, especially those interested in the sciences. In…
A wonderfully written piece. It’s not a lie if you believe it. - George Costanza
You might want to check your units. BC is a bit bigger than Texas, but not 3x.
Obsidian is a great product, thank you! And the optional Sync service works beautifully to keep my files synched between Windows, iPhone, and iPad.
I owned one, a great car. Spacious and great visibility. Classic clean Ital design. Had Bosch fuel injection so it met air pollution rules and ran beautifully.
Opened the iTunes store an hour ago, searched "Handel", went to albums, but could not open any album. So yeah, it was down.
Agreed. I've subscribed to many a magazine in my long life. The New Yorker is the last one standing as it is excellent from cover to cover.
Can't speak for the US but next door in Canada there are waiting lists for EVs. Second-hand EVs sell very well, too. We feel lucky we bought a second-hand, short range EV several years ago and it does almost all of our…
Nice, but why not just put an image-stabilized telephoto on a camera? I've lenses for my Fujis and Nikons that do the same as the Canon binoculars---and it _is_ cool when you see stabilization in action---plus you can…
Not all teaching stories are sad. I was lucky. I taught high school in northern California for almost a decade and it was a lovely job. Sure, the work expands to fill your nights and weekends, and part of every summer…
Spot on: "Codifying bribery into law as lobbying and superpacs doesn't make it not bribery"
Run flat tires are expensive, heavy, and hard riding. On the other hand, they don't go flat. I recently had a flat in my VW and I missed having my old Mini's run flats. Sometimes you just aren't in a place where you…
I like reader mode but lately I'll send an article to pocket (which cleans it up a lot) then I print it to a pdf which is saved in a folder in Dropbox and which is synched with my Kobo Elipsa, and with the Elipsa I can…
Canadian-American here. From what I've observed of Canada I'd expect the law will be narrowly defined and the penalties weak and rarely applied. Plus, the courts are slow as can be so I wouldn't expect an unleashing of…
