I see things haven't changed ;)

Kobo readers are really neat, I've been using them for over a decade and I don't remember ever using a Rakuten account or even going online with them for anything but software updates or connecting to my local library system (which Kindle can't do). I use Calibre on the desktop to manage, convert and load my reader and that's it.

Please reassure me Roskapankki is still operating.

Those fines are ridiculously low, they should be based on a percentage of the company's net worth. I bet that puny amount will be treated as a business expense.

I for one welcome our communist robot overlords.

My Instant Pot. I'm the cook at home and it saves me so much time and food comes out so good I barely use my stovetop anymore. Same with the air fryer. Between both kitchen gadgets, I can make a tremendous meal for 4 in 30 minutes. It has saved me weeks!

Air Canada pilots have just joined ALPA and got pretty big raises in their new contract. Good for them, but management is pissed.

I've been to Australia and booze was very easy to get by, there's even drive-thru booze stores there. They are however extremely strict on under-age sales of booze and tobacco and that's a great thing in my opinion - the store gets shut down if caught.

I've lived in quite a few places in my life and those that have the worst alcohol problems are the most restrictive ones. Restricting means more binge drinking, there's a lot of empirical evidence showing that.

Perhaps it's high time our government stops treating us like irresponsible children.

She's so unqualified it's painful.

J'aime bien Summit, Connect et Wefwef. Design propre et minimaliste et ça a l'air de bien marcher. Jerboa a tendance à planter.
