I haven't read it but I'm going to hazard a guess that it's the article Vice just posted about him and Kraken. If it is, then lol of course it was written by them.

As a Canadian, I'm wondering what would happen if I popped across the border and bought a TV in the US. Would it still connect? Are they paying roaming charges or do they have a plan that covers all of NA?

As a little kid I used to be terrified of stairs made of metal grating like the ones used for fire escapes. Something about being able to see what felt like 100s of feet below through the thing that's supposed to hold you up just did n

Seeing 200M as an upper bound and that the current excess deaths are around 21M from COVID, the prediction is "only" off by 1 order of magnitude. At most.

Or "you've reached your monthly quota of alcohol purchases". Which isn't far fetched at all! In parts of Canada, up into the 50s, you had to bring your permit booklet to buy alcohol from state operated stores where they
