The Canadian health care system has its aspects. I am not sure about the details, but one effect is that Canadians cannot use private hospitals in Canada. There are facilities that amount to private clinics/hospitals, but they are for visiting American business people, Canadians cannot use them.
I am fortunate to have a great physician. He works half-time at one of these private clinics, where he can spend the time to do medicine the way he thinks it should be done. I gather that he makes enough money doing this that he can spend the other half of his time being a family physician (for Canadians) in which he does 15 minute appointments - again, doing medicine how he thinks it should be done.
I would guess that most family physicians do 10 minute appointments and some do even shorter -- they can make big money if they give enough patients a few minutes of time. My doctor doesn't do this.
I highly recommend Corsair mechanical gaming keyboards. They/some come with Cherry mechanical switches. You can get clicky or silent, and smooth or tactile (which might or might not technically be "buckling spring" but feels exactly like a spring buckling). Fantastic to type on.
For a country that is so big on "inalienable rights", this business of "civil forfeiture" is disgusting and scary.
I also have a problem with (a part of) the government going after people using civil law, which goes on "the preponderance of the evidence" rather than what the government should have to prove: "beyond a reasonable doubt".
You can't just say that a single line of evidence (gravitational lensing in this case) is wrong, therefore [my competing hypothesis] wins. That's intellectually lazy.
It isn't lazy - it is a really common pattern in "conspiracy theory" arguments. It's nuts.
A lot of his argument is about people-problems rather than physics.
Being poor, I virtually never eat out. Being a loner (with a parrot so smart it's scary), I don't have a Facebook feed.
While it is true that I may catch some "brand elements" in my peripheral vision, I am pretty good at just not seeing ads. (If they are animated at all, I have to cover that part of the page so that I can read the content.) But, as I said above, practically nothing I spend money on is advertised.

I imagine that this website has more than its share of loners.

Sorry, should have logged for previous comment.
If the CIA needs to... uh... "immerse people in an environment", AI alone isn't enough - they will need some hardware... /dev/wtrbrd maybe.
So... Business As Usual and THINK OF THE CHILDREN ?
Forget that Bad Boy Rapist - chat up Violet.
After reading your comment, I figured that I should probably read TFS.... It didn't seem to help.

The real ones end with: SAD!

Sorry, man - replied to wrong comment - should be one down.
By restricting communication. And I'm "Ivan"?
Bad guys use infrastructure.
Knowing who would pay would be extremely valuable to FB.... The incentives would not be good.
Retired due to health reasons.

I am quite poor. I buy few things beyond my rent and limited diet. And used books. And cell and internet service, of course.
I recently bought a Green Cheeked Conure to replace an Amazon Parrot that passed away. And I bought a lot of new toys and such.
Little of what I buy is advertised. Coffee maybe. Reading about coffee will sometime make me want a cup.
I have never bought anything as a result of seeing an ad on a web page.
How do ya feel about smallpox?
Don't want something like Windows XP to happen again... a terrible thing to happen to M$.
