Listen, you clown. Canada has two options at the federal level, Trump North or Conservative Lite. We got Conservative Lite ONLY because Trump South tried to interfere and failed miserably. If you think for a second that there is a party that would "fix" Canada then you live in a rose tinted fiction.
Mulvad, they offer actual privacy, you can even pay them anonymously via cash if you want. Never had any problems with them.
We have age limits for smoking, drinking, driving, etc. and don’t expect only parents to be involved in that protection.
Uh, if a parent gives their kids smokes, booze or car keys before they are of age it is 100% on the parent.
Parenting is the act of instilling values and teaching the ability to reason out whether a behaviour or decision is appropriate. That includes whether or not to drive a car without a license, whether or not to drink when underage and whether or not it is appropriate to tell your teacher to get back in the kitchen.
So the country being run by corporate interests, eliminating the stay at home parent, is an excuse for all parents to be technologically ignorant, and negligent of their children's online activity?
The ONLY way children have access to the internet* is if an adult buys a device and hands it to them. The vast majority of kids under 14 is not gonna scrape up enough money for a mobile device that they can use to connect to a free hotspot and be online 24/7. Any internet related bad behaviour is 100% the fault of negligent parents who give their children unfiltered access to the murder, rape. racism and bigotry firehose that is the modern internet.
That's it.
My friends with kids all monitor and control internet access very closely. And before you say "BuT tHaTs A lOt Of WoRk" them maybe you should not have kids. It is a decision to make and raise a new conscious mind, if that seems too hard then don't fuckin do it.
*access at school is monitored and hardly equivalent to the hours a day spent scrolling at home.
Hold parents responsible for their failures. Suspend kids for their shitty behaviour, this leave parents to scramble to find childcare or forces them to miss work. After enough financial hits they are going to care, at least tangentially, about their children's behaviour.
The problem is that non-CSA approved batteries and chargers are being sold in Canada with absolutely no regulation.
If you look at fires per unit sold the scooters and bikes are probably an order of magnitude higher than stoves and dryers.
Har har, the issue is the joules of energy stored in the battery and how quickly it can be discharged. A pair of AA batteries store the same energy as ~5grams of TNT but they can not release it all at once. An electric scooter or bike battery stores the equivalent energy to a large car crash and can release it in seconds due to the chemistry and construction.
I am not in favour of car-centric transportation but cars very rarely explode and burn your house down when you sleep. Electric scooters come with a whole different set of hazards compared to cars, but yes, injuries per km does help to add context.
Fuuuuuck Nintendo. No one hates their fans more than Nintendo.
They are bricking brand new consoles, locking their USB ports to approved hardware, charging for the tech demo that would customarily be free on an $800 device. And that's just this year.
Repaired some broken solder joints, sanded out the biggest scuffs and polished most of the scratches out of the screen. Oh yeah, and the paint job.
In the ten years since I took this photo the trail has been abandoned and the tree has rotted away.
This will be the only chance I will have to see a total eclipse so I slapped together all the gear I own and made a dry run today. There were some wispy clouds that made things a little soft but it's better than the 400mm I used in 2017.
Because I have explained at length, my position, that parents should be held responsible for the raising and actions of their children. You have snapped back with "I know you are but what am I?"
