If pp cares so much, he can get the security clearance and look at the list himself.

No such thing.

The $10k Chinese EV is only $10k in China. When localized for other markets, it's much closer to the same price as all other EVs. Some of this is tariffs, but there's a bunch of changes they need to make to meet safety requirements. Even the $15k Seagull they talk about in the article is expected to be the cheapest offering in Europe, eventually, and they're aiming for 20k Euros, which is 30k CAD.

It's also in the same carcinogen group as electromagnetic fields, aloe vera, nickel, and kimchi. Most of those things you listed are quite dangerous for other reasons, but cancer is not the primary concern with any of them.

IARC group 2B is where substances end up if a study manages to produce cancer at any dose. If you drink 50 cans of diet coke per day (which is the equivalent of the rat study that demonstrated that it's possible for aspartame to cause cancer), then you might get cancer caused by the aspartame you just consumed.

Ultimately, if you don't have a legal copy to compare it to, this is just a risk you take when pirating.

Some sources are more trustworthy than others. There probably aren't that many fake ebooks out there, but it's always possible I guess.

Nice to meet you Juan. I'm Pierre Poilivere from Calgary, and I love porn. The weirder the better.

Google Pixel phones have a screen call function that seems the same as this.

I don't know if it's technical limitations (it's probably just greed), but I can't imagine that this stays exclusive to Pixels for much longer.

Isn't there an ongoing strike at Loblaws distribution centres? I legitimately can't find any news as to whether it ended, but I also can't find very much news on other strikes that I'm pretty sure did get resolved. Fuck Loblaws, and fuck Google's ever worsening search capabilities.

In Ontario, you have to be separated (defined as living apart) for a year before you can get a divorce. There are exceptions for abuse and adultery, but this is the first legal step on the road to divorce. Whenever possible, it's best to keep it as amicable as possible when children are involved. That can still include going on vacations together.

To be clear, if she is contesting a ruling by the referee, she is not allowed to leave the piste (strip) until the situation is resolved by the head official(s). As soon as she leaves the piste, she gives up all rights to contest a ruling.

This happened publicly before with Shin A-lam at the 2012 Olympics, where she had to stay on piste for an hour while the officials discussed the ruling.
