https://startmail.com is pretty decent, affordable, and based in the Netherlands (so, better privacy than US/5 eyes countries) Too bad they don't offer calendar services with their email though. It's really a choi

You know what... I hated the iPhone since the 3G when an update made it so slow to be unusable. Android all the way since. But then I got tired of having to install third party ROMs that vary a lot in quality, crash often, aren't updat

There probably is, but the police has better things to do than enforce traffic laws in Toronto (Ontario?) apparently. Really, the joke goes that if you want to kill someone in Ontario then do it while driving your car. It's even better

The story goes that urban Toronto didn't vote for Ford, but the suburbs and the rest of the province is who he was targeting and they really responded to his populist platform. And there are enough people not living in Toronto DT to wi

Ontario is a disaster, don't be fooled. Ford is a mini-Trump.

It is apparently not illegal in Ontario to put these very, very dark plastic covers over your plates either, making them so dark that they're barely legible unless you have your nose on that car. Including the (now) old design. Really,

Thanks, that looks like an interesting read after I'm done with Sandworm by Andy Greenberg (also a good read)

Chicago > LA flights look like they take 5h (time on the plane.) Add the time to go through the security theater, transfers from and to the airport, and you're not that far off from how long it would take by train. I'm not even

Not every transport mode has two classes. Only intercity trains do, but buses and subways don't.

Where I live, it's already the case. Many of my coworkers choose to live further away from the office because the taxes and rent are lower there. It takes me 8 minutes to bike to work but I pay more in taxes and rent. They choose to li

Really... Apple makes huge margins, and they can't afford to pay for the time they require their employees to work? Also, the fact that this is even possible is a very good example why the US needs more unions. It obviously doesn'

That's not the case for the two pounds though. In the coin's situation, it's because the three gears at the top are interlocked and jammed.

The virus laughs at these masks. It won't stop any virus. It only helps for people who are already sick and sprinkling cough droplets full of virus to others, but it does nothing for protecting the wearer from infection.

Isn't it that when you combine two extremely low prevalence phenomenons together, you can't really make any accurate predictions because the numbers are so low that the error margin is too high? I might be wrong, but I seem to rem

By keeping it for free you'd have done everyone a favor as I understand it: - Amazon would have paid the seller of that motherboard 12k, out of pocket - the seller of the motherboard would have made money as if you had ordered the moth

I wonder if the web won't become lighter then. Most of the cost is because webpages are ridiculously heavy (multiple MB, if not dozens), are ridden with analytics and other data collectors that require a lot of computing power to run i

I was pleasantly surprised when I visited Warsaw last year after having last lived there 10 years ago. The "new" subway line was built by tearing the surface up and digging from the top. The way it was rebuilt is much nicer: you n

Owning isn't free either. Instead of paying your landlord rent, you pay rent to the city (property taxes), the bank (mortgage), repairmen, and to opportunity cost (these x00,000$ would yield interest/dividends if invested and not

Most cities will enforce fines/issue warnings if you don't mow your lawn and the wild grass on it gets taller than a couple inches. I don't know if this is done to curb the spreading of ticks (and Lyme disease) in urban areas

Enterprise ThinkPads are amazing machines. They're very sturdy (although the X230 notoriously has a weak screw holder in the top left (or is it right?) corner that will almost always break and make that corner of the case a bit wobbly.
