Lol tell the ISPs to do their job then. As I already stated earlier, Fibre and DSL are not available in quite a few areas. It isn’t as simple as you think.

I once heard someone define it as “The opposite of yoink”.

Wired isn’t an option. ISP’s no longer 56k service over phone, nor Broadband DSL.

Fibre requires a main trunk line nearby, which are typically routed through cell towers. No cell tower, no fibre or cable service.

There is no Canadian alternative that can provide a service like Starlink. I live in a rural area, and they’re literally the only way I can get a reliable internet connection. I’ve tried Xplornet and Mobile Broadband, neither can provide a reliable connection, or are have prohibitive bandwidth caps.

I’m not even that far from Toronto, I’m technically still in the GTA. There are no cell towers nearby due to the community protesting against them going up. I’m lucky to get a single bar on a clear day.

I’m all for using a Canadian alternative, but there just isn’t one for a lot of people.

Joke answer: Take You For a Ride from the Marvel Vs Capcom 2 OST.

This. It’s specifically a joke about El Salvador.

Poop.

I’m in my mid-30’s and I still giggle like a child when I see it. I don’t care how infantile it is, I like what I like.

Butt and Boobs also get honourable mentions.

I was in Middle School when they hit it big, and am Canadian to boot. They got overplayed to the point of frustration on the radio and TV.

Couple that with them being one of the last successful “butt-rock” bands, and my friend group had everything we needed to hate on them.

The Beatles are highly overrated. I respect the impact they had, and I acknowledge that the music I like (metal) would not exist without them, but I’ll go out of my way to avoid listening to them.

You have not experienced Tolkien until you’ve read him in the original Klingon.

it’s an antonym for cromulent.

High shipping costs, customs, currency conversion, etc.

The simplest way is to go to the advance polling center on the dates and address listed on your voter’s card. There are a few ways to do it though, they’re detailed here at the elections.ca website:

And yet again they’re based out of Europe, which makes this out of reach for most Canadians.

This debate is evidence that we desperately need voting reform.

Article was written with AI. I have no problem with using AI in certain contexts, but this is not one of them.

For me it depends on what the bot is actually doing. I don’t have any problem with a bot that helps with moderation, provides an unpaywalled article, or others that help the user.

What I do dislike are all the bots that are just making posts from an RSS feed. If it’s a dedicated community for that purpose that’s fine, but that’s often not the case.

edit: I think a simple way to sum up my feelings is that I don’t want bots posting content, I want people to do that. Bots can help parse that content, or even provide context, but I don’t come here to interact with them.

While it’s not the solution you’re looking for, you can always write a script for those commands, and have it run on each startup.
