I totally approve of this. Asia is pretty unstable right now with China always “threatening”. I think defense spending in this area sends the right message.

Is it a free vote though or do they get disciplined if they don’t vote the party line?

You aren’t really that dense are you?

Better believe hearing aid manufacturers gonna try and legislate these out of existence lest they lose their cash cow.

My bet is a patent troll lawsuit.

Forgot to block the word Gaza. Thanks!

If you call the mayors office on the phone does every crazy that calls get put right through? Of course not.

They need to hire a social media manger to filter the crazy. The mayor is under no obligation to read their insane ravings.

I dumped twitter/x a couple of years ago. No negative impacts at all. Just not hearing from “those types” anymore.

Edit: and anyone that can’t behave can have their comments removed. We don’t need online amplification for the worst kinds of people.

Don’t know about you but I wouldn’t feel comfortable flying an airline where workers are being beaten-down by the government to do their jobs.

Probably not a safe travel environment.

Let’s make a real bargaining process happen. If the government is forced to intervene, for every day a negotiated contract is not signed, the company CEOs are directly fined 2 % of their total yearly compensation payable in the next tax year.

They’re obscenely priced too. If AirPods can do even half as good as dedicated ones they’ll be an amazing tool for people with poor hearing.

My wife’s dad is too proud to buy hearing aids but he might be convinced to use AirPods because they’re just headphones like everyone wears.

Most countries regulate medical devices rather closely. The US ASND Canada have some parity of regulations so an obvious first step.

That whole “don’t be evil” mantra is long dead now.

Be evil if it makes money.

Low budget propaganda. Maybe made by those trucker fools or their friends? Hick central.

It’s awful. I had other incompatibilities but I would’ve uninstalled it for photos being so awfully itself.

Getting to a specific album is slow and a chore, it feels clunky.

Maybe it will be faster with AI but it’s not there yet so I need to go with what I see.

Threads like this always bring out the uninformed. It’s great. Easy to block them. Fish in a barrel.

I like the feel of fine woven. Got it with my 15 pro max.

It’s aged a bit but not worn through or fraying. I did spray it with scotchgard when I first got it though which probably helped somewhat.

It’s not even private landlords that people should be worried about. There’s a big push on for big companies to just buy as much land as they can everywhere to permanently claim it for future rental purposes.

Consider if rather than a city with a million independent landlords, “omni corp.” bought and controls 90% of the available units anywhere in the city and can control who can live in the city through their database, etc.

Maybe they decide to buy some retiree houses before they pass away and offer the grandkids shares in the company for ongoing revenue and guaranteed income for the rest of their lives. Many old folks would jump at that. But omnicorp would never let the land ever become public again.

It’s all about real estate now. Any other “investment” is inferior. My previous boss knew that ages ago.

This is 100% a Doug ford problem.

In BC all rent hikes are permanently capped at the government limit regardless of anything else.

“Trucker convoy” and all of the idiots that bought that stupid political crap hook line and sinker.

Well said. I run a mikrotik router for my main network and use unifi APs throughout my house. Took a lot of tinkering to set up and I learned a lot. Very flexible but more expensive and much harder to learn than a simple all in one setup.

Aren’t you precious. lol.
