While I completely agree with you on [1] and it's tiring to have to re-litigate this issue every few years, [2] was from 2021 and doesn't reflect Canada's current policies.

This feels like a false dichotomy. Even if sauna doesn't impact long term health in a way that can replace exercise, that doesn't mean that it doesn't improve health.

I found that strange as well. Who were they quoting, given that the Department of War hasn’t existed since 1947 and as far as I know Jimmy Carter didn’t pretend that it still did.

From my perspective it would make a lot more sense to only allow index fund purchases as an elected official. If the economy does well you still do well, but there would clearly be…

That was tried in Ontario (cap and trade), but there was enough misinformation going around that the general populace thought it was just a standard tax on individuals.

I remember these kinds of comments when the first iPad came out. “It’s just a big iPod Touch”.

I would love to know what prompted that.

From my own experience seeing people switch from ICE vehicles to EVs, I would guess this comes down to people not being used to one-pedal driving / regenerative braking.

I consult for a specialty coffee shop, and in my experience the electrical ground of the machine has no impact on static generation - I doubt the burrs themselves are grounded. The…

As I've seen several comments on this here - people have used spritzes of water to reduce static when grinding coffee for years, but the interesting part of this study was the find…

G100UL, the current unleaded alternative to 100LL, has been tested to act as a drop-in replacement for any and all aircraft engines that run on 100LL. If you can run, 100LL, you ca…
