Canada has essentially 6 big banks, instant transfers using Interac has been the most common way of transferring money for years (it launched in 2003) and payment using NFC has been the norm for a decade.

I have bought and sold well over a hundred items on Marketplace in the past few years. There are scams, mostly from buyers wanting you to ship items to them, but insisting on in-person transactions nullifies most of them.

I've even shipped and gotten some items shipped in rare cases from people who I could verify the identity.

This is in Canada (Québec), so I guess mileage may vary.

I agree that their app isn't particularly good, but have you ever used the Subway app or even their website for a mobile order? I think it's the slowest and jankiest app I have ever used. It honestly takes like 5-10 minutes to order two subs that I have saved as favorites.

I think it depends on the type of workout. I do a powerlifting style program that has a 3 minute rest time between sets, so I like to read during them.

If I were doing cardio or a circuit style workout I would forgo my phone and concentrate on the workout.

It's a 3.5mm connection, but the sound quality is noticeably worse when they are off and running passively, even when running them through an amp.

I own the Sony WH-1000xm4 and their battery life is terrific. I work 8-10h during the day and sometimes add a 2-3h gaming session and they regularly last more than two full days without recharging.

Their noise cancelling is top notch and the sound, even over bluetooth is very good. They can be plugged in using a 3.5mm cable, I use a V-Moda boom mic attachment that adds a high end mic for voice chat or zoom calls.

Considering that the article lends the reader to understand that studies are indicating vitamin supplements are not as necessary as we'd like to believe, I don't think op was being cynical.

Random quote from the article:

> I faithfully chewed those calcium supplements, and then a study said they didn’t do any good at all,” said Ms. Bentley
