I hear North Korea has a nice new resort he could stay at.

This is a lovely gesture, but also it's pretty sad (and very North American?) that if your car dies at the store you can't get home without relying on the tenuous kindness of strangers in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Thanks. Yeah, I think cargo bikes are awesome, but breakdowns can happen to anybody.

And if your cargo bike got a flat while you were at the grocery store? It's nice to have friendly neighbours to help out.

While the USA under Trump charges extra for non-Americans visiting the national parks, Canada under Carney makes its national parks free to all visitors. in c/buycanadian@lemmy.ca

Kananaskis is a provincial park and Banff is a national park. You need a Kananaskis pass for Kananaskis and a National Park Pass for Banff.

Gotta use up that budget somehow!

I love this idea! Anyone see anything similar IRL? in c/wholesome@reddthat.com

Almost as far as the New Zealand conspiracy. Some map makers are trying to get the truth out by leaving New Zealand off of maps, but they keep getting criticized for it.

He's a great player, but he's also very fragile. Not easy to replace but I don't think he'd be the best bet going forward.

I've been using the Logitech MX Master 3 mouse for a while now and the software has been alright. Lets me use my mouse across my desktop and laptop at the same time. It's been alright, but I go to check out my button mapping settings recently and saw "AI prompt builder" and sighed at how stupid that is. I really really want hope the adding of AI to everything is a fad like Pogs, but I somehow doubt it.

Please don't be Logitech, please don't be Logitech...

Damnit.

Haha, I hope it was a drooler!

Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

Canadian here. My son just had an ear infection that was lasting 3 days. On the 3rd morning we called our doctors office to have it checked. They were able to squeeze us in at noon. Took him, and they couldn't tell if it was viral or bacterial, so suggested we wait and see if it clears. Didn't clear after another 2 days, but it was the weekend now. Called 811 and they contacted a medical center to make us an appointment in the morning. Next morning (Sunday now) office called us, made an appointment and saw him again. This time we got a prescription for some antibiotics.

I've taken a course about anti-microbial resistance and I understand that doctors are instructed not to go with antibiotics first thing so it didn't really bother me to go back a second time. It was nice they it was easy to be seen again even if it wasn't with the family doctor.

Man, I can't believe he's injured already. Love the guy but you can't expect to get even half of a season out of him it seems.

Thousands of banking records exposed after Alberta dental benefits administrator hacked (globalnews.ca)
 

On Thursday, the Alberta Dental Service Corporation (ADSC) said it had been hacked between May 7 and July 9. On the final day, the hackers communicated they had encrypted the data, were holding it ransom and demanded cryptocurrency in payment.

Lyle Best, the ADSC president, said the organization’s cyberinsurance was immediately engaged and the ransom was paid, recovering the data with a minimal loss of that data. Best also noted the corporation had secure backups.

Oh for fucks sake! You don't pay the ransom if you have backups! You're just enabling the hackers to make more attacks!
