Online is sometimes cheaper and sometimes not. I always check online vs local store, because I'd rather support local when possible.

Maybe Mycroft?

As a parent of 4 kids (now grown), yes. It is never ending. The serene feeling comes when they are sleeping. Or when they finally start their own lives and you know you gave them the best.

Setting clear expectations and not giving in when they tug at your heart makes it easier in the long run.

Some mess is fine, like there's a pile of laundry for me to fold and put away. Will anything bad happen if it is there tomorrow? Nope. So give yourself slack in some areas.

Homeassistant can be setup wit speech-to-phrase if you are worried somebody won't pickup the whisper project

These look like Renderings I imagine actual model will have a snap in battery, because welding a frame, or carbon fiber closeout, with a battery inside is next level Apple bike. 2 years and you need ebike2pro

This is accurate. I have a degoogled phone, no mainstream social media, and Linux OS. I have talked to my wife about the reason for my choices, so she is not ignorant about privacy or data gathering issues. She still uses Instagram and Facebook etc. And while she is a bit alarmed at bill C-2 being tabled in Canada (which would share Canadian private citizen info with the USA) I doubt she will think about it next week.

And pets. A paper bag with smells inside means some dog will eat it.

"In Florida, we don't sacrifice the innocence of children for the perversions of some demented adults.”

That's rich coming from a Trump supporting goon

Each province is a bit different. Jere are my notes from being in several.

Alberta is an oil and gas province and has a lot of maga types, so we call it North Texas. To balance that comment, many Albertans are very friendly and outgoing.

British Columbia has more open minded people, and focus on clean environment, but it is expensive to live in BC. Vancouver is a cold (socially) city, people have established cliques and you will find the outgoing friendly people are immigrants from other countries or provinces.

Ontario has a lot of opportunity but each city can have a different feel. Avoid Windsor, even though it has cheaper housing than say Toronto, it is a blue collar town with many small minded people.

I've never had any issues with healthcare in any province. It's been a great system, especially when I got cancer.
