Did it work?

"Ontario City"... What a weird headline.

When it was just Netflix streaming wasn't so bad but now that everyone and their dog wants to get in on it, it's far to expensive. Greed would cause me to pay $15-25 per streaming service, search for the thing I want to watch and hope its there. If its not on any of them, search where I could try and pay to rent it, and if that fails I... Look for physical on eBay or just not watch it.

Or... My cost per month is about $25 (power, VPN, indexers, Usenet, etc) plus time and hardware to keep my equipment running. To watch something I login to *arr, add what I want, wait a couple minutes, and then start watching it.

While we're just saying shit that'll never happen, it looks like Elmo could solve world hunger.

I'm guilty of all these. I'm dyslexic and have a hard time spelling. At some point the personal dictionary on my phone learns words and I don't get the warning anymore.

And a ~~monthly~~ weekly subscription.

The Nintendo GameCube (GCN) Controller – Nintendo Classics will be exclusively available for Nintendo Switch Online members and will initially only be offered to those invited to pre-order a Nintendo Switch 2 console

Does this suggest I can buy it later or am I going to have to pay scalper price if I want it?

Is this new or just more common now? I was certain they've always been able to do this.

Edit: Never mind

Agents with U.S. Border Patrol have long had the power to ask to search travellers' belongings, but the Canadian government updated its online guidance to include the extra warning this week — a change that comes as the nations' long-friendly relationship breaks down under the pressure of the Trump administration's war on trade.

You're right, but I'd use the word 'trick' over the word joke. There is no trick that would pass my scrutiny to be okay at work, that's why I replied the way I did.

Jokes like one liners or what stand up comedians do are usually more acceptable in my eyes. I have yet to see a joke used for April fools. If you have an example please share and I might do it next year.

In the end, I really don't care, if the joke/trick lands and no one was upset then take the win. You know your environment and are making it a better place.

Yeah, it's a lot more in CAD. Not sure I'm going to buy it anymore. The Direct was a bit of a disappointment to me.

The en-ca in the URL means nothing as I've bought from .ca websites and been charged in USD before. To be fair, it wasn't a large company like Nintendo but it still happened. Fastest cancel I've ever done. So, Unless it's explicitly called out next to the price or I've bought something from there before, I usually assume it's USD.
