You can always find outliers. Just glad I don’t have to pay American prices, that’s all. But have fun continuing to tell yourselves that you’re doing so great.

Everything is priced the same. And it’s Detroit, Minneapolis, Austin, LA, and 100 people towns everywhere. The US prices are the same as the Canadian prices, despite their dollar being worth 30% more. Wild

I’m Canadian, but frequently travel in the US. Over the past year I am also shocked at US prices. It used to be that everything in the US was about 25% cheaper (makes sense as their dollar is worth more). Lately I’ve noticed that everything

And just for context … if medication is not covered and has to be paid out of pocket, the cost is generally under $100. Canadians don’t have $1000 medical costs

Canadian (OHIP recipient) here. As a long time employer, and former employee, I can tell you that no one takes a job here for the heath care. Some things like dental and vision are not covered (unless you are under 18, over 65, or low inco

This is most likely to do with changing viewing habits. Very little YouTube is watched on a monitor anymore. In fact for most channels it is 40% mobile, 40% on a TV and 20% other. I’m guessing the new format is to optimize for the TV viewe

Just listened to the Lex Fridman podcast with Zelenskyy from the start of the year. Zelenskyy’s comments on what is corruption vs what is called lobbying in the west come to mind when reading this article.

I don't believe this is specific to Raves, but Bars & Nightclubs in general. Younger people don't seem to be going to these places nearly as much as generations past. I think a lot of this drop off can be attributed to Social

Everyone pointing out that their illegal streams, X streams, etc. work fine are kind of missing the point. These secondary streams might be serving a couple thousand users at best. Initial estimates are in the hundreds of millions for Netfl

Because that isn’t different or new enough to get investors excited. The point of this presentation was not to spell out technically how they are going to accomplish this. Agreed, a fleet of model 3s would work great. The point of this pre

When did you last have them come out? They used to be awesome, but cut the mobile fleet in my area as part of the cost saving measures this past July.

I’ve long maintained that what the USA really needs is a good opponent again. Everyone wants to be on a winning team, and with the lack of a good opponent it’s turned into Republicans vs Democrats with no common ground. At least up until th

As a Tesla owner I can promise you there will never be reasonable human assistance infrastructure. Have to ever tried to get in touch with a human at Tesla short of driving to a service center. Almost impossible. It would be easier for me t

I disagree completely. Letting it drive is the exact same as teaching my 16 year old kid to drive. It’s nice to let them take the wheel, but you never know when there going to make a mistake and almost crash into traffic.

I also have a 2024 Tesla with FSD, but stopped trusting it. Here’s the thing, it works great for 30-40 minutes, until it doesn’t and makes a completely wrong move almost causing an accident without user intervention. And yes, I’m talking ab

You have to admire the marketing when they can convince their fans that not clear coating a vehicle is a feature not a bug. It wouldn’t even look different or cost all that much. The only downside is you would be able to leave it parked out

The current Canadian government can’t seem to screw up the Internet fast enough for Canadians. Between this law, Bill C-11, and Bill S-210 they have gotten off to a pretty good start. But who’s going to save the our precious “Canadian cultu
