Ha, no. I like my triple wide driveway, double garage (one door is for the snow blower) and four level side split. Who the fuck lives in a condo in North America? That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. All that space and people insist on setting fire to their equity while being packed together like animals. Oink, oink, buddy!

It depends on the team. I can see how a group of socially awkward introverts would have trouble sitting in the same room, but every big project kick-off we've had, everyone's been in the office together. We order lunch in and bounce ideas off each other. Can't do that over the internet anywhere near as effectively.

Your country invited a war criminal, ordered their soldiers to kneel to him, and then tried to negotiate peace while said war criminal was bombing the citizens of the country he attacked. All the while not having invited the leaders of that country to the table. Your leadership demonstrated a weakness not seen since Chamberlain's attempts to appease Hitler. Then there was the botched bombing of Iranian Nuclear facilities, another blunder seen as caving to Israeli pressure. Canada may be reliant on America for now, just like NATO and the EU is, but - Canada and Canadians are willing to suffer economic damage to break free of their dependence on a weakening neighbour who cannot be trusted. The damage to America will take time to set in, but consider how much your neighbours actually hate you: they spurned a conservative shoe in and voted to keep their existing shitshow of a government PURELY because the conservative sounded a little like Trump. But none of that is going to bother you, so let me frame this in a way you might understand;

Imagine if Americans like you had voted for Kamala Harris just to spite Trudeau. THAT is the level of distrust Canadians hold for your leadership.

I think my last reply got eaten. Fair enough though, there's plenty of reasons to dislike Apple. As a developer I shall not ever go back to working with iOS unless not doing so means financial suicide. As a consumer, I have found the iPhone Mini 13 to be so far beyond any other consumer phone that I could never see myself using another device.

Yeah we did grow up in that world, but who didn't think PDAs were cool in their favourite sci-fi series? There's a lot of convenience smart phones bring which I certainly would not like to give up. For example, I find my phone indispensable when carrying out home repair. I can take photos of my house, make notes, watch instructional videos, ask for advice, and have all that available when I go to the shop as well. I do have some old DIY textbooks too, but my phone's essentially what taught me basic carpentry for example. With that said, I find most new phones to be hideously bloated - literally - their size is anathema to their function. I just got my Mini-13 repaired as the battery croaked, I have no idea what phone could ever replace it. In my opinion it is the perfect phone Steve Job's Apple set out to create when the first iPhone came out.
