I recognize climate change, but if you grow fruit for a living anywhere in Canada, you are definitely going to experience some baaaad climatic conditions occasionally. If you have survived this industry for 25 years, has there truly been a “disaster”? The Okanagan valley is a Canadian micro climate, one of the very few places where fruit trees can survive the winter. But to characterize a few incidents of crop damage as a “disaster” is not unbiased journalism.

I’m way past making a living in tech, and so far (5 months) my MacBook is delivering a very satisfactory user experience. I’m not thrilled with the “radical” changes coming to MacOs, but I don’t have that much invested in the current version to fret over it. So far the biggest controversy about the new OS is how the finder icon swapped colours. I can live with that! I considered and tried some Linux distros over the past few years, but there was too much intervention required by me, the user. The “Total Recall” vibe of Windows 11 pushed me over the line.

And yet, most likely user behaviour hasn’t changed!

Geez! Royal or not, if you charter a budget company, you get budget service! IDK if HiFly is budget or not. I do know this: aircraft are effing complicated. The consequences of many defects can be life threatening. (Nearly) All aircraft operators strive to detect and rectify defects while the survey is on the ground. Quit whingeing and enjoy your multi hour flight over empty ocean!

I began using Windows in 1992. I switched to MacOS this year and I'm never going back.

NHL Hockey: Goaltenders eligible for contact if handling the puck outside the crease, and outside the trapezoid. Same as any other players.

I have baked “past year” into my search engine url in Firefox. I have to remember that because sometimes the results are quite sparse!

Yes, Microsoft forum “experts”, are all about cycling through the update, uninstall, reboot, install, contact OEM. And the most frequent comment on solutions: “That does not address the user’s question.”
