Yeah, we have NFC type cards for Vancouver Skytrain. You prefill it and tap in and tap out, the system figures out what you owe based on zones travelled. You can set auto fill at a low balance if you want it more automatic.

Also works for the Bus system and Sea Taxi.

Nice.

I’m not sure about those devices, but with a paid account it unlocks speaker grouping and casting to various devices or rooms, or play here on current device function. I don’t have their device, just a raspberry pi with the OS.

Does Volumio suit your needs? I haven’t used Plex audio to compare

Proton or Tuta mail. Supports aliasing so you can make unique email addresses per website, and trash them if you get spammed.

Singing up for a paid account you also get VPN, drive storage, password manager, docs, sheets, AI chat (I know), calendar, meetings and authenticator.

Nah, I don’t think people on a bike stealing a dog care if it was a pet or not.

Our dog is a rescue from South Korea and seemed to be from a dog farm, as well as our friends dog was for sure rescued from a dog meat producer.

They have a different view of what is acceptable eating animals in the East compared to West.

So a random dog in a field seems like easy prey.

My dog watching TV.

We had two dogs previously that could not see the TV, or mirrors. They totally had no reaction nor interaction , like the TV show or mirror didn’t exist in front of them, even if we positioned them right in front of either.

Our new dog will actively watch dramas with us, or nature shows. We also catch her stopping in front of the full length mirror and staring at herself.

Since she seems to understand it’s people on screen, my wife laughs at me when I cover the dogs eyes if its going to be a violent scene. Since she’s a rescue, with some issue, I figure it’s not good for her to see people attacking others.

Yep, our dog will watch TV dramas in bed with us on a laptop, but if its a nature show and a rabbit walks out of shot she gets up to see if the rabbit is somehow coming out the back or aide of the computer

They arrest people saying peace to Palistine so yeah, just as bad now

He said he couldn’t breathe

Even if it were a true statement, they had a man stabbed in the heart handcuffed rather than getting him immediate medical attention. Like WTF

I enjoy Xonotix once in a while. Old school shooter like Quake or Doom. You can play online or solo against computer players. Lots of weapons to nab with odd effects.

Compared to Canada 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, where your event ticket got you on the busses or Skytrain for free.

To know if you are on your home network and use direct lan etc, rather than finding a sync relay in the cloud…something like that.

My issue would be with my spouse not the other party.

I see it with White middle aged Americans.

Them: Oh me I’m Irish

Me: Oh, your parents, grandparents came over?

Them: No, Great Great Great Great… Grandfather

Me: huh, OK. Have you ever been to Ireland?

Them: No, I want to one day.

Not sure why you got downvoted, they have probed microchondrial DNA and shows the timeline of emergence from africa and spreading migration paths.

I’m in the Vancouver area so people that looks like a celebrity usually are that celebrity.

I’m not out much but I saw Carrie Anne Moss pushing here new born one time a decade or so back, Pamela Anderson, David Suzuki, and Kim Catrall.

You get the “hmm that person looks familiar” feeling, they often smile or nod because you are staring wondering where you know them from.

Some ads I saw last year didn’t even talk about the product, I had no clue what they were selling, other than a quirky relationship video
