Ya, thats probably true. I always hope there is some type of rational thought to this behavior that I havent thought of. But I doubt it here. Only thing I can think of is they wouldn't like the look of it. Hardly a reason to go as far as dealth threats...

What were the peoples concerns? Why did they hate the idea of this so much? It was surrounded by farms and not like it was a nuclear power plant or something... I'm a little confused by the people's response.

I think straws are harder to clean properly. All other utensils are outside surfaces only. If some one has food stuck inside one the restaurant is probably not going to want to manually put a cleaner inside every one to be sure. A small chance some customer is going to get one with food still in it... I don't mind the paper ones that don't go soggy right away. At home I use metal or silicone ones. Like the silicone ones!

It is not canada specific. There are maps online like https://radonmap.com/ found another one here https://radonkit.ca/blog/radon-gas-map-for-canada-potential-radon-levels-across-canada/

I didn't think my area was high but all the maps I find say it is. Maybe time for a test...

Edit: fixed link.

Two issues I have with them.

First the size. Being on a poor internet connection makes downloading them painful. Some apps are 200MB for the apt or a flatpak install 1.5GB! Also doesn't help with disk space.

Second I often have issues saving files. Some apps use non standard folder location and some still save them to the non standard location even when you select one of you own. Block bench was bad. I'm not sure what causes this, if it wasn't for the size I would probably spend more time looking for a fix.

Think RT is "round trip". The first number they listed was one way and the second was to work and back.

It doesn't plug into the wall like you asked. But my favorite vacuum is the "shark ion p50" It is a standup cordless vacuum with changeable batteries, large canaster and good suction. The shark corded (no battery) dual brush(duo clean) models or other corded brands do have better suction though. The p50 is just the closest to a coarded but still battery one I could find, I hate tripping on cords.

Trackercontrol works good on some, though some apps don't work and you have to enable one thing at a time until it works.

I'm still using mathdroid. Which I have installed but cant find on fdroid anymore?

I can't seem find another Foss calculator app that doesn't think buttons need to bigger than my finger and 0-9 should take up 3/4 of the screen.... I love being able to see history of my past entries and have a button layout similar to an actual scientific calculator.

There are no penalties for violating Ontario’s Archives and Recordkeeping Act, which bars government staffers from deleting emails, and the maximum fine for violating Ontario’s freedom of information law is $5,000.

So other than a fine that that is basically nothing, there is nothing that can happen?! How can there not be "something" to deter people from deleting what ever they want? I don't know much about the laws involved in this but hope something will come of this.

Hard to explain. I use iptv because I miss having something on that is:

  • something I might have not see before, channel flip and find something new.
  • something I don't really care about and can be turned off at moments notice.
  • something just for background noise.
  • I sometimes dont want to think and pick a show.
  • Other??

Some of those overlap a little.

You are right. I think it would have to be malfunctioning. Don't think a properly working one would burn any thing. I had the feeling from some of the articles that people were under the impression a usual and properly working ones were dangerous because of carbon monoxide. The same risk is true of any electric device. It could burn slowly. Everyone should have a carbon monoxide detector and still vent things properly either way. :)
