Canada’s tech, finance, agriculture, and energy industries would like a word.

I hadn’t thought about it before, but you’re right: the grocery delivery folks in the UK were always quite cheerful! We used Ocado mostly, and their drivers were always happy for a chat while unloading.

It’s been excellent for me. I recently had an issue with my Yolink notifications being marked spam and phishing. I raised it with support, they immediately escalated, and it got sorted quickly.

Something is up with your web page. It stutters when scrolling, and crashes my tab. I’m using Safari on an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 18.6.2 (22G100). No content blockers or extensions.

I turn 49 tomorrow, and my kid’s next birthday will be her 11th. I have a lot more spending on her ahead!

I don’t know that they’d need to be, though. British-style baked beans come in tomato sauce. I just checked my tins, and they’re 36% tomato according to the ingredients list. Unfortunately they’re not that cheap anymore. We pay over CDN$2+tax per tin these days if you buy the multipack. A far cry from the CDN$1.50 all-in those Tesco beans would be.

Wholeheartedly agree. I much prefer the pre-David unknown origin Alien. And the Dark Horse era space jockeys over the engineers.

> "Xenomorph" is not any sort of official in-universe term for these things

In his briefing (about 23 minutes in in the Disney+ version of Aliens), Gorman says “all we know is there is still no contact with the colony, and a xenomorph may be involved.”

My grandad worked on a computerized press in this era. He primarily printed short-run text books for southern Ontario universities. Whatever markup they used had a syntax that allowed emboldening and italicization, but you had to specify the end of the formatting (obviously). Professors never would, and the first run of a book would always be all bold and italic. The profs would get mad, and tell him “the computer should JUST KNOW.”

Much of coffee's flavour comes from a balance of acids and oils. These, particularly the oils, are sensitive to temperature. But unless you're drinking your coffee all day, you're unlikely to notice it. Real spoiling sets in after several hours at the kinds of heat you're probably running your Ember mug at. Most drip brewers with heating elements for the pot keep the temperature too high (often just below boiling). A steady heat is much better for the flavour than reheating. (This is what I remember from working at a coffee shop way, WAY back when I was at university.)

You misunderstand. The previous comment was about public defenders, not defence contractors.
