Does Anki come with content? Like where do I get the flash cards from for a certain language? The website makes no mention of this

I sorta get what you're asking for, but I think you're going to get a response like, "Read a book". There's just not much to be gained by discussing issues like this on the internet, lol. edit: I think your example is maybe confusing too... not sure if you're looking for political debates, or just educational discussions, or what. Maybe you could clarify and it'd help get some more constructive answers!

Have baked with Camino chocolate before, it's a really good choice. Edit: It's also vegan!

Bitwarden is open source though. Self host, if you can. But yeah, looks like 1Password is headquartered in Toronto.

Totally fair. One thing that's super clear in this country is that the tax laws favour the rich. IMHO even RRSPs are of greater benefit to people who don't pay rent or have paid off their mortgages.

It's great that you've pointed this out and I hope there's more awareness about it. In practice, it's not hard: Buy from candian-owned small businesses who manufacture in Canada.

In my not-at-all-humble opinion, most of your examples are all shit you shouldn't be buying in the first place:

  • We have copious amounts of local craft beer. Never buy the big brands, they're all swill. If you actually drink craft beer, you'll know which brands, like Creemore and Millstreet, are fake craft.

  • Nobody should be buying anything from Coca-Cola in the 21st century. We've known pop is terrible for your health for like 50 years. They're a shit company who is the biggest polluter of plastics in the world.

  • Canada Goose is for tools with no taste. By the time any trendy fashion company gets bought out, it's not cool anymore.

All we have to do as a nation is just put that little extra effort into learning about what we're buying and making different choices, and it's actually great that we're all doing that because we should have been doing it all along.

You're mad about the wrong thing. He's going to pay an effective tax rate of about 25% when he exercises those options. (Capital gains)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

As someone who works in tech, I feel like the sales pitch for VPNs is snakeoil for the average person. All you're doing is trading out your own ISP spying on you for another ISP who can spy on you. I know I have rights if my ISP spies on me in my own country, but if my traffic is all egressing via a foreign country, I may have zero privacy rights in that country.

If you need to hide your torrenting activity, just use a seedbox. If you need to hide from the NSA, none of this is going to help you. And TLS basically does the rest.

Same with DNS-over-HTTPS - the DNS server is where they're going to be spying on you!

It's not a short, but I've heard Milk & Serial is good (1 hour, $800 found footage YouTube film).

Tangentially related: I checked Kombucha on that website and it's totally wrong about GT's being Canadian. It's made in the US and the owner is American. So make sure you check the label on anything you buy. Grocery stores are terrible about labelling too, you always gotta check the little sticker that's actually on the produce.
