Above seems US only but found this for CA members:
Costco Canada members can get a discount on the Chevy BrightDrop 600 through its auto program, potentially saving up to $3,000. The base price for a BrightDrop 600 FWD is $80,125, and for an AWD model, it's $82,725. A fully loaded BrightDrop 600 with AWD and the large battery retails for $89,225. Here's a breakdown: BrightDrop 600 FWD: $80,125 (base price) BrightDrop 600 AWD: $82,725 (base price) Fully loaded BrightDrop 600 AWD: $89,225 (with large battery) Costco Auto Program Discount: Up to $3,000 Potential Final Price: Up to $78,725 with federal tax credit and Costco discount (assuming maximum discount) To qualify for the Costco discount, you'll need to be a Costco member in Canada, have a valid driver's license, register with Costco, and present your authorization number to a participating dealer. You can then purchase, finance, or lease an eligible 2024/2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV, Blazer EV, Silverado EV, Buick Envision, or other eligible vehicles, including the BrightDrop 400 or 600.
I thought maybe “fake news” or trolling but found this:

Had the exact same thought. Approximately 400km range. If I am interpreting the information correctly, an hour of fast charging gets you 250km or so.

Wish I could upvote this multiple times. It is consistently a pay now or pay later equation. Often spending money to avoid a problem costs you less than paying for the fallout later.

Single Transferrable Vote (STV)
I am going to preface this by saying that this was shared with me by a friend and I am still trying to get my head wrapped around it. I am not an expert or even well read on the subject but do believe that the voting systems in Canada need to change. I post in the interest of building the discussion in this community.

I like single transferrable vote (STV), but it’s unlikely to catch on because it needs number crunching in the backend to apportion the excess votes to (hopefully) improve proportionality. I can see it being accused of corruption by the fact and critical-thinking challenged demographic.Baden-Württemberg solves that by saying that every riding has two members, one who wins the popular vote, and one who is selected from the runners-up in a manner that best enhances proportionality, but still focuses on the high vote earners.
Mixed member proportional representation (MMR) is too easily gamed by parties to embed unelectable party hacks/loyalists (as experienced in
Very impressive. Never tried. Am now inclined to do a test and see how difficult it is given all the other comments.
I have never yet had a problem challenging and reversing a charge made to my credit card. Their fraud detection also seems to be superior. On the other hand, members of my family have had to jump through hoops when challenging fraudulent Interac transactions. They have felt like they are being seen as the more likely perpetrator, and meanwhile the money is no longer in their account while the process drags out. Very stressful.
I use shaving soap and a brush, not cream.
No good explanation for how it keeps it straight but I remember this justification being shared with me when I was learning.
Here’s Google AI’s take on everything else which fits with my experience.
Shaving cream helps by acting as a lubricant and protective barrier between your skin and the razor, reducing friction, preventing nicks and cuts, and promoting a smoother, more comfortable shave. Here's a more detailed explanation of how shaving cream helps: Lubrication: Shaving cream creates a smooth, slippery layer that allows the razor to glide effortlessly across the skin, minimizing friction and the risk of irritation. Protection: It acts as a barrier, shielding your skin from the sharp edges of the razor, reducing the likelihood of nicks, cuts, and razor burn. Softening Hair: Shaving cream helps soften facial hair, making it easier to cut and resulting in a closer shave. Moisturizing: Some shaving creams contain moisturizing ingredients that help keep your skin hydrated during and after shaving, preventing dryness and irritation. Tracking: The cream helps you visually track where you've already shaved, ensuring a more thorough and even shave. Soothing: Shaving cream can soothe your skin after shaving, reducing redness and irritation.
