  • My VPN , Private Internet Access, uses its own DNS server, which translates urls to actual IP addresses. Your phone may be using your mobile provider’s DNS server, which may be blocking access to that IP adresss, while your VPN’s DNS does not block it. Your desktop system is likely using another DNS server, setup by your internet service provider.

  • Empty Weight of a Boeing 747 is 325,660–336,870 lb. (wiki)

    It carries 4 turbo-fan engines, each of which weighs approximately 12,000 lbs. (also wiki)

    So the 747 weighs at least 27 times heavier than one engine, on average. ( iOS calc)

  • What is with poiice crime shows on every channel, all the time? I mean you lads made Money Python, Red Dwarf, HHGTTG. I know David Attenbourough filled a lot of time with un-depraved scene. Billy Connolly is not available, and Russel Brand is unpalatable, and Ricky Gervais used to be funny in a sad way.

    Are Britons so depressed that only the most twisted and obscure motives for grusome crimes can entertain them?

  • I submitted photos online of our passport pages as ID when applying to the Registry of International Voters. Of course, a passport does not have one’s address. I suspect being on the registered voters list in the riding (despite it was significantly redrawn in 2022) for a decade might have helped to corroborate our bona fides.

  • In Mexico, I had to apply to be added to the Register of International Electors, which i did on 24 March. My wife received her ballot kit on 4 April. Mine had to be resent by Elections Canada due to my Canadian postal code being entered as my address abroad. Nevertheless, i received my ballot kit on 11 or 12 April. On 14 April, in cooperation with another Canadian couple, we put all four of the envelopes in a DHL envelope and sent it back. Three days later I was notified by EC that they were received. So our mail-in ballots reached our respective electoral districts in good time to be counted. Just a good news story! FYI: The DHL envelope and the outermost EC envelope had both been opened, presumably by Mexican Customs officials.

  • I used GenuTax for Pc for a few years beginning 2019. I’m not looking for pretty or sleek. It was clear and logical. And it was free! This year i bought Studio Tax (which i used for a few years in the ‘teens when it was free) for under $20 for up to 10 returns. It works great and is Canadian.
