Really?

a) The site won't even load without me providing my location data
b) Once I do allow my location data, you won't let me change my point of origin
c) 11.8 KM/L for a 2009 Fusion? That's almost 30 MPG, I think you meant 11.8 L/100KM, which is the CITY fuel efficiency of a Fusion. The highway efficiency is 8.4, which throws off your calculations by about 40%.
d) You're only only using the cost of the closest station, and assuming all fuel is purchased there. Not many vehicles can hold enough fuel to make it from Regina to Edmonton without topping up. Gasbuddy does it better

Also interesting to note, you're using GasBuddy data without actually crediting GasBuddy (a violation of their API terms). In fact, last time I checked (5 minutes ago) their API isn't currently public, but you're funneling all your calls through your server to hide that. Explains why some cities "aren't supported" as they don't have a specific spinoff site you can scrape your data from.

Yes, when a weather system brings in pacific air (known as a Chinook in Calgary, and which benefits we occasionally get the tail end of here) it can get unseasonably warm for a few days. In 5 of the 6 past years there has been at least one or two days above freezing, though usually in the first half of the month.

Private Internet Access gives you a SOCKS5 proxy you can use for all your torrent traffic without slowing down your "everything else" connection for just under $40/year. They bounce you around a few times, but torrents don't care about ping and I can max out my 50MBPS pipe with Access no problem. My IP usually comes up as somewhere in South Korea or the Netherlands. There might be cheaper options, but this one has been reliable enough for me and it's cheap enough I don't feel the need to experiment. PM me if you have any questions.

When you encounter people like that, suggest they listen to the discussion that Paul Brandt had with Dr. Angela Rasmussen. They talk about this exact topic - why people who've had Covid should get vaccinated and why there isn't more antibody testing being done.

Maybe it's not your thing, but Amazon has some great fifties-style dresses for under $50.

I was going to say scumbag CTV not even linking to the kickstarter, but the only documentary I can find coming out of Regina is Chad Novak, the Musical

The actual Kicstarter for this is listed as coming out of Moose Jaw

My invoice from GearBest says $73.77 but that was in October 2014 and I'm not sure if that is USD or CAD.

http://www.gearbest.com/car-dvr/pp_69368.html Now it's $57 USD or $77 CAD.

At the time it was one of the best prices but you might want to shop around.

Are you going by an online speed test or download speed. It's important to remember that internet speeds are advertised in Megabit/second, not Megabyte/second. They're two different units and are often mistaken. Here's a quick explanation.

The boots are somewhat useless for high energy dogs. Gentle walks would be fine, but my black/white NEEDS to fetch balls or Frisbee

Coats and jackets are just for looks, wife likes to make them look cute.

I think its Mushers Paw wax is what I have been using. Haven't actually been using it this year as it hasn't been a problem for their paws yet.

https://www.amazon.ca/Mushers-Secret-Pet-Protection-60-Gram/dp/B0002IJQDC?th=1

This is the one I have. It's the second one that I have bought over the years and they are great. The price right now is not so great. I picked mine up for under $200. Wait until after the holidays to get it. Also remember to use lithium batteries in weather stations as regular alkaline batteries do not hold up in cold weather. This is a nice unit as it has wifi and can get the app on my phone. There is also a nice little widget you can get on your phones home screen

Acu Rite weather system from amazon

I have the Baffin -100 rated Titan boots, got mine at Peavey Mart. They're not much good for extended walking because of the lack of lacing or buckles but they are warm. My hands and especially my feet are always cold but the only time my feet have gotten cold in these boots was when I was plowing snow in an open cab tractor for several hours straight in -30 weather. If you're doing anything more active than sitting still exposed to the wind, Baffin boots will keep your feet warm.

They also make a Nordic ski boot that I am lusting after, but it's hideously expensive.

We can do what Ontario does, which is to prioritize nuclear over wind & solar (and curtail those resources when they're produced in excess). There is a chapter about Ontario's practice in Meredith Angwin's book, Shorting the Grid. Ontario has some of the lowest power electricity rates in Canada.

The value of stable, reliable, secure base load is (in my view) much more important than fretting about how (or why) we need to integrate less reliable, highly variable generating sources.

Talking about real costs, it's the intermittent renewables that drive up system costs (Carla Beck made this point in the article) because they require reliable, fast-dispatchable backups. The IPP (independent power producer) might be paid $0.05/kWh to supply solar (I have not checked this number) but SaskPower needs to pay to keep gas and hydro on standby for nights. Or start paying for battery/pumped-hydro projects, costs of which should be attributed to intermittents. Four SMRs more-or-less replace our coal capacity (though not in the timeline we need to retire coal) and could basically be run at 100% all the time, then stack on your renewables and adjust for variability with gas/hydro.

Minor detail, SMRs will have 60+ year lifespans, whereas most wind/solar (and gas, I recently learned) projects have 25-30 year lifespans.

He studied sociology, and yes the Chicago School refers to economics but in the 20s there was interdisciplinary interplay. He quickly rejected his thesis topic and focused on his ministry.

This biography is a short and concise read on the background behind these ridiculous accusations about Douglas.

Ones I've used and been happy with:

Cloudflare DNS: 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1
Google DNS (which you've mentioned): 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4
Canadian Gov't Anti-malware/phishing DNS (See page for options)

I actually run my own DNS server...kinda which may or may not help you? I run Pi-hole at home, but since you're specifically talking about gaming, make sure you look up exception lists for things like XBox Live Services.

>I’m likely not a conservative voter

You should probably figure that out before you start hitting on people. Do you use paint chips in any way to determine romantic viability?

Tansi! I've been teaching myself some Cree lately and have found this app to be particularly helpful. It has quizzes and tests loosely similar to Duolingo.

Oh man that gave me a good laugh. I feel your pain. It's my goal this summer to genocide those little assholes. Been looking all over my yard for a nest, but couldn't find one.

The hat defense is good. Slap them down to the ground and stomp them. Very satisfying.

I sprayed one with Lysol today and it died in about 10 seconds. Was pretty surprised how fast it died honestly.

Gonna try these 2 items and see how they do: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07JVMQZPY/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_WA8KX34MRXEZ35WQ96J7 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00HFDGMNO/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_JT3C5AH8S7B1M0QM6H4R

There is a pretty popular book about back pain and it basically explains that back pain is all in your head.

If i wear these anything warmer that -20c, I have to take them off and let me hands cool off., they are just that good. Best mitts I have ever owned.

While I’ve only read the summary, it looks like a counter piece to Gormley’s book “Left Out” Left Out: Saskatchewan's NDP & the Relentless Pursuit of Mediocrity https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004CLYO96/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_a_SJ10QK2VH83SF47NPMNA

At most, DNS may affect the initial connection speed but once that connection is established, it will not affect the speed at all.

What your describing sounds like packet loss, likely from attenuation on the line. You can ask SaskTel to check or check your modem stats for CRC and FEC errors.

Regardless, if you would like to pursue the DNS issue, I'd suggest using DNSBench to compare servers. Ones worth testing: * 1.1.1.1 * 8.8.8.8 * 9.9.9.9 * 142.165.21.5 (SaskTel)

I recommend getting a headlamp with a red light. The one I have is Energizer Headlamp from Amazon. Its $30 and works well. I use it when camping and the red light doesn't bother my SO while I am reading at night in my tent. Don't go to Walmart to get it as they are asking twice the price for the same item.

Republicans are a cult, call them for what they are, cause cults are always gonna be culting.

Trump started the birther movement, tells you alot about how none of his base are racists, they just hated Obama's policeys.

The fascist roots run deep in America started around Andrew Jackson(Trumps fav) trail of tears.

If you're new to politics, I would suggest reading "The Canadian Regime: An Introduction to Parliamentary Government in Canada" by Patrick Malcolmson.

https://www.amazon.ca/Canadian-Regime-Introduction-Parliamentary-Government/dp/1442605901

It's a fantastic book that outlines Canada's institutions and levels of government, our regime principles (such as "responsible government"), and how we interact with our constitutional order. It honestly should be required reading for all Canadians. Good luck with your journey; showing an interest in learning about our political systems already puts you ahead of most young people!

We've gotten cocky with our wet seasons, but if another drought were to hit us, these pricks would be the first to sell out and flee, meanwhile the population of Saskatchewan is left with a dustbowl that can't hold any water and no trees to stop the wind from blowing the soil away. I'm also pretty sure it was the entire reason for the pasture program. > >Just because someone owns land doesn't mean their actions don't have an effect on society as a whole. I'm sure most of the destruction I see is done by local landowners.

A must if you haven't read it https://www.amazon.ca/Men-Against-Desert-James-Gray/dp/B0006BY4HS

Jeff is the archivist for the city and I thought he recently (like last year) published another book. That book is crazy expensive but I would think the public Library should have a couple copies of it you could sign out.

Bought this cobra from Visions, I think I paid 130 for it. The odd time I have to hit the reset button on the bottom of the camera. Works great http://www.amazon.ca/Cobra-Electronics-CDR-825E-Screen/dp/B00MHBJBQE/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1453221301&sr=8-6&keywords=cobra+dash+cam
