You're such a troll. This is caused by construction.

I'm very confused how this became a bike lane issue when there is an obvious parking issue. Why is there parking on Bloor and University? There are many Green P parking lots and parkades. Only 2 lanes of traffic causes a lot of problems because it entire blocks movement when someone is turning and when ride share blocks the lane for drop off. I get local businesses complain, but the city made a mess trying to appease them and now we will have the worst possible outcome.

The year is about right. I didn't lose my DOS partition, but I was already familiar with partitioning. Someone gave me a Slackware CD set. Had a lot of difficulty getting a higher res than 640x480 with my VLB video card.
Started a BBS at the time, switched to OS/2 Warp, which worked awesome until Windows apps moved to the new Win95 requirements. Started using RHEL for a while, but eventually Debian, then Ubuntu, and now PopOS.

It's been a long journey, but now Windows 11 is the weird OS that needs hours of troubleshooting and tweaking and adjustments. It's just not worth the effort, so I keep an Windows 10 VM around with Office for the odd occasion when I need it.

I did, but I hate Windows 11 so much, I bought a PS5 Pro o avoid it. Windows 10 🙌💎🙌

I bought mine. I had a PS4 Pro and was intentionally holding out for the 5 Pro. I was surprised how easy it was to get one, stock was no issue on launch day. I'm really happy with it, but they aren't cheap.

I figured when work replaced my machine with a new laptop with Windows 11, I'd give in and upgrade my Windows boxes, but I hate it so much. The UI is a confused mess and it's so buggy and slow, even on a brand new machine with 32GB of RAM. Just getting around file Explorer feels like the entire machine is coated in molasses. It's like using a 300 baud modem and I am typing faster than the characters can go. I feel like I am always waiting for files to load, I forget why I even opened an app.

My main machine has been on Linux for a couple years already and Waydroid let's me run proprietary apps. I'll probably give up on PC gaming and get a new PS5.

Of course not. They were taking notes as they expect to be next in line to grind the peasants.

Mortgage rates shouldn't be considered and no one should be bailing out real estate speculators. A competent investor knows there is a market rate for rent, and would consider the variable risk of debt financing and would never have considered the 'investment'. Owners of units that aren't highly leveraged have minimal exposure to these rate increases. These people are simply greedy speculators that not only took stupid gambles, they are partially responsible for the current real estate crisis in the first place. High leverage, low interest rates drove high demand and market scarcity.

This ruling needs to be disputed as the adjudicator's decision appears incompetent, prejudiced, or both.

"I find the world and economic events in reaction to the pandemic were not reasonably foreseeable and have impacted the landlords, despite them taking reasonable precautions by accessing a mortgage through a recognized and well-known lender," the ruling reads.

Really? It wasn't reasonable to foresee this crisis with record low emergency interest rates and highest real estate prices in history? Idiot.

Just a thought from experience: Be wary of any critical products and/or taking a job from a company run by an accountant. CrowdStrike CEO... accountant!

Accounting firms are an obvious exception.

It's really about the individual mechanics and their experience. Has anyone found a good one for the Chev Volt in Toronto? The Chev dealer garages I've used were brutal; They provide no assurance of competence and didn't deliver it either. Fortunately the cars are rediculously reliable.

Definitely use the Nvidia installer if that is the card you have. Nvidia's drivers are a common source of problems for me over the years resulting in wasted time troubleshooting. Zero issues since switching to PopOS on 2 Nvidia machines. (1080 laptop and 3090 desktop). No green screens, no blank screen boots or wake up, no kernel module compilation issues. Far more productive and much less frustrating.
