What a bizarre comment. I'm Canadian, and during my misspent youth I spent time in Wisconsin and in Boston. I didn't drive in those places and I don't drive here.

I did finally cave recently and bought a cargo bike (not electric). I've used it during snowfalls. It's fine, just like walking in snow and/or in negative 30 degree weather is fine.

Yeah, I'm 39 years old, I don't need to flee age verification. I just am not interested in having an account on a chat service that would do this. I don't want my driver's license and biometric information to be stored in servers who-knows-where in a country with weak privacy regulations.

This is an extremely rational position.

I use Beeper now, but Pidgin was really top tier software. It was my favourite piece of software for a long time.

US prices are no less insane for people paid in CAD than they were two years ago.

I know it might be hard for a population who elected the current POTUS twice, but some of us mean what we say. I fail to see what's so surprising about this.
