I’ve tried it. It’s very slow. The app on iOS has two “modes” to choose from when connecting. One is labelled “Fast (Wireguard)” and the other is labelled “Anonymous (Mixnet)”. The “Fast” mode is still two hops so it takes forever to establish a connection. You get to choose the entry and exit nodes though. The “Mixnet” is 5 hops. Slow af. Barely useable at all.

Do they expect us to believe that there’s 12 tons or 24,000 pounds of chocolate bars in that little dinky toy of a truck?

I’m on my second Accord Hybrid (4yr leases) and it is hands down the nicest driving car I’ve ever owned. I wish they would just “finish the job” of fully electrifying the damn thing. The hybrid powertrain operates as a pure BEV 99% of the time. The ICE is only there to generate electricity for the electric drive motors and to charge the anemic little battery. Remove the ICE and fuel tank, then stuff it full of batteries and they’d have a winner. That would be especially true for the Civic as it now has the same hybrid setup and it’s the best selling car in Canada. Civics are everywhere! I don’t want a Model 3 but I’d snag a BEV Accord or Civic in a heartbeat.

Does this actually surprise anyone considering Google already pays Apple a bazillion dollars every year to be the default search engine in Safari… I know they’re not exactly the same thing but the two companies are already in bed together.

Kerb, tyre and Hoover are a hard no for me. Two are weird and one is a trademarked brand name (yes, I say facial tissue not Kleenex) I wouldn’t Dyson my living room so why would I Hoover it? We already say fish & chips and we have chip wagons not food trucks. I’m happy with that and spelling colour and flavour with a “u”. Cheque with the “que” is always going to be better than “check”. Lorry sounds silly, I’d rather use their other commonly used term “HGV”. I’ll add that I say trash bin rather than garbage can. Last but not least… it’s pronounced zed not zee!!

I wonder if that’s why their huge presence at the grocery store after the Tangerine Twat started attacking Canada has all but completely dried up. The only option I saw for Kicking Horse last time out was small bags of pre-ground coffee. No more whole beans and no more variety of blends etc.

IVPN has this feature for iOS, iPadOS and macOS. I’m sure it would be in the android app too.

You assume privilege. Let me correct you. I work two jobs and put in over 70hrs a week. I’ve been doing that for over 10yrs. That’s not privilege, that’s working my ass off to get ahead. I will admit that I’ve been very lucky in that my line of work was not negatively impacted by Covid. But that’s as far as I will concede.
