Well now perhaps that BC moved forward with it the three states can go "Hey, they've already done this and it's fine!" and try to push this forward but who really knows...

Well, BC was initially waiting for California/Oregon/Washington to do the same thing. I guess the government got tired of waiting!

No, just Pacific Time (PT) - we are not using Pacific Standard Time (PST) or Pacific Daylight Time (PDT.)

The neighbours to the south will still use PST and PDT.

This is not true. According to Microsoft's article on the topic:

Humans barely travel in two dimensions, I dunno about adding a third dimension....

Hah. We still have to use IE at work as our payroll system requires it. We don't use IE for anything else though.

Switching payroll systems isn't as easy as you think.

I recently (as in a week or so ago) got a Mac. I held off for decades but I get people asking me to fix stuff all the time. Figured it was time.

I ditched Safari pretty quickly as adblockers didn't seem to work well (or at all on some sites.)

Using Firefox with ublock now.

Isn't this a dupe? Same article literally 5 down from this one...

I was originally looking for an Xbox but found a PS5 first. Stock availablility rotates for both consoles. Even mid-December all the stores here were saying no consoles (both Xbox Series X and PS5.)

Reminded me of the suicide booths in Futurama - no mess, vaporized completely!

When you invest in vapourware, you are basically throwing money away...

BC does have secondary or backup generators that run off fossil fuels.

If they mandate no fossil fuel heating most will return to wood heat. As climates north of Vancouver can drop to -30 to -40 C (or -22 to -40 F) where heat pumps just won't work and electric heat would require taking out a second mortgage every year.

You mean lost in all the malware on SourceForge, right??

After cleaning all the malware that was on their PC it was likely moved with it!

When I had central A/C installed, it was about $3500 for A/C only. That reversing valve must be made of gold and platinum because the heatpump version was $12000.

It would be better if they

a) Mandated a common charging interface that all cars sold in Canada have to use

b) Then mandate that these chargers must be installed along all major routes

c) THEN mandate new car sales.
