Do people not know what "bricking" means? This article is about HP disabling features if the printer runs out of ink.

If they bricked it, it would be unrecoverably broken, never to function again.

Was this article written by an insane person?

the current Goldilocks state of the North American economy

What?!

Much of this conflicts with the view, widely expressed in some form by commentators and political leaders of all stripes, that Canadians will benefit if the prices of things like groceries and houses would only go back to the levels they were at in the good old days, say, before the pandemic, so that people could afford them.

....

so that people could afford them.

Don't worry everyone. The free market will take care of this for sure! Deregulated private companies always have the best interests of the consumers at heart!

Hell yeah. Fuck you cultists. Nice work by everyone in that town!

This comment needs to be higher up.

This kind of article isn't news, it's marketing.

Good. Fuck landlords, and especially Airbnb landlords. Hopefully other cities will follow suit.

It's not the quality of the show or the content that matters. Have you ever put a small child in front of the TV? It's like turning their brains off. To be honest it's quite startling.

It doesn't matter if its "wholesome" content or not - there is a physical decreases of core brain activity as the child disengages from the world.

I suspect this was a bad sample on the part of Island Health. Surfriders sampled the same spot on Aug 20 and got a very low count: https://bwtf.surfrider.org/explore/41/475

A count over 4000 seems insanely high. Maybe the sampler scooped up some contamination, like bird crap? I don't know their methodology though, hard to say.
