That’s for Apple services specifically. If I build an iOS app, I can get geo coordinates.

That may be true for things like contacts, but here they have your location, and they use the network. Thus they could hoover that up and store it, even mapping everywhere you go over time in their DB.

Don’t apps self-report this stuff? You presumably need to make a DB query from their backend to see any reportings in a 5mi radius, so at minimum they have your GPS coordinates and IP address (which when combined would uniquely identify you)

Man, Beyoncé really let herself go.

It should be a lot higher, honestly. Encourage building Canadian services and using European services instead of relying on predatory American monopolies.

Farmer’s market tomatoes. I went through my whole life thinking I hated tomatoes. Turns out, I hate grainy tomatoes that taste like nothing, and real tomatoes grown nearby and picked ripe are wonderful.

Costco sells real Canadian maple syrup at a fair price (cost plus a few percent).

I’m 2 today.

That’s the dumbest comment section I’ve ever read.

The Russian trolls are working overtime to justify military action against American people at the objection of the governor and mayor.

Also the Tesla charging infrastructure!

Harvard should spin up a campus in an actual free country and start migrating staff and students there. Any country in the world would be thrilled to have Harvard.

I feel seen.

This doesn’t even make the top-10 list of evil shit Chiquita has done. Some examples:

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_Massacre
• https://partnersinjustice.org/resources/stories/crimes-against-humanity-and-chiquita-bananas/

Holding members of the administration in contempt and tossing increasingly more of their asses in jail until they do comply.

Another good expression, “forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.”

It also aligns with Stoicism. You can’t control what others do, you can only control your reaction to it.

I prefer carbon steel. You get the same seasoning of cast iron and easy care, but it’s lighter so it heats more quickly and evenly. It’s a bit more expensive than cast iron but much cheaper than an All-Clad stainless pan.

I only use stainless for acidic foods, like tomato sauces.

Ya, they absolutely could/should. A good example today is how a judge is present in a trial to explain the process, law, what’s required for jurors. You could have a similar advisory body which provides recommendations based on their expertise.

Athens had sortition, which was interesting. Everyone participated in the government via a lottery and the average person’s issues would be likely (statistically speaking) to be focused on and addressed.

We still use it today to select jurors. But it was originally for everything. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition

It’s been tried a few other times much later in history, but they always limited who could be chosen in the lottery (generally, only rich people). The original system which worked well selected among everyone.
