You’re categorically wrong.
They always give you the “good driver” rate and your price 99% of the time can only go up. It’s a complete scam due to plausible deniability.

You know, I bring with me the Texas apartment rental form, prefilled out, with 0s for every charge.
Every single time, the agent blindly accepts it.
SEveral times, I’ve early terminated my lease and paid nothing.
It is legit how it works. You should try it.
I even do it with non-compete clauses and all sorts of stuff, including retaining my rights to software I write, in employment contracts. It’s worked for 15 years and only 2 or 3 companies ever caught on.
The Toronto Sun is part of Postmedia, an American-owned chain that exercises strong editorial control and is basically Fox North.
Canadian Civil Liberties Association seems legit, but the Canadian Constitution Foundation is part of the Koch Atlas network, slipping far-right American money into Canadian politics.
That doesn't mean that they're wrong, but what they say should be examined carefully for fish hooks.
Think of the poor body builders and weightlifters miscategorized by the BMI!
Look around the world. In other places, inner cities are highly desirable places to live. Even within the US - does NYC suffer from lots of poor low-IQ people downtown? I don't think so. Why did the middle classes flee many cities of America? What drove them out that did not happen in other countries, not even Canada?
Racism.
Or, instead of cramming people into cities, when you spread them out you create zones. Each zone has its own stores to support the area. Everything is close enough that an electric car could be used or, if one prefers, bike to the place. Or even walk if your home is close enough. Sort of a return to malls but spread out.
That's a city. You're describing a city, where you can bike or walk where you need to.
And I don't mean those tiny communities developers are doing. I mean people have a quarter acre of land for their house. Large enough to spread people and have some privacy, but not so large a person or family couldn't take care of it. For those who are too lazy to take care of their acreage, they can live in row homes.*
That's the opposite of the above, basically the existing suburban sprawl nightmare.
R2 looks like a regular boxy SUV though? The R3 is basically a lifted Golf so that's pretty cool at least.
It's probably similar to how all sorts of ATC related issues started being widely reported for a while when all sorts of mistakes and close calls happen occasionally. Now all eyes are on Boeing (and it's their own damn fault) so anything related to their plane gets picked up.
Screen savers kind of became irrelevant when we stopped using screens that burn in and started using screens that support power management.
Son, you never ever used my old ASUS ROG g17 gaming laptop with an OLED screen!!
I used Gnome 41 + Wayland and in a month, it had the Gnome taskbar and terminal menu bar both etched into its screen for all time.
After another month, the damn Slack left menubar with all the channel names got burned in, too!!
OLED burn in HARD and FAST !!
1. Screen sharing support in anything besides Chrome. Particularly MS Teams.
2. Ability to screen record in OBS, without extreme challenges.
3. Scaling fonts on HiDPI in Firefox on Wayland.
4. BEING ABLE TO TURN OFF THE MONITOR (!!!) It seriously doesn’t work.
5. Wayland always honors Chrome’s “DO NOT SLEEP” imperative, so if you have one video on one background tab opened, your laptop will never sleep or even lock the screen.
6. DOES NOT WORK well at all on Cinnamon Desktop and KDE doesn’t work nearly as well as Gnome. Most WM have this same problem or worse.
7. Absolutely ZERO support (BY DESIGN) for things like keyboard macros, mouse clickers, etc. Greatly affects certain games, PASSWORD MANAGERS, etc. https://www.reddit.com/r/wayla...
8. ZERO support for Intel and Nvidia proprietary video graphics hardware processing. Uses CPU, very hard.
Lots more stuff, but these are the main for me. See https://gist.github.com/probon... for more.
Cinnamon’s support for Wayland is incredibly crappy. It’s still years and years away from prime time. You should be safe until the 2030s if not later.
OBS still doesn’t support Wayland for screen recording. This is still the #1 feature I need.
Also, in Wayland, Firefox doesn’t scale the fonts at all, making it completely unusable on HiDPI monitors...
I think you’ll have to continue to disagree, because the OP said “aways”, not “always”.
The Kindle for PC Windows and OSX application has existed for many years before Android was even a dream.
Because we're in a cyberpunk-SciFi future, not a Jetsons-SciFi future.
You're not Dave. Who are you?
