I had some knee pain at the start of last year's biking season. Took it easy, biking much slower than past seasons. As the summer progressed the pain went away, and could feel my knees getting stronger. Still biking slower than usual, tho. I wonder how the knees (and my speed) will be this biking season...
A "punishment pass" is when a driver in a car or pickup truck passes far too close for safety, veering towards the cyclist even though there is plenty of room to pass safely.
The cyclist is being punished for being a cyclist. Or being a fitness buff. Or an environmentalist. Or not supporting the auto industry. Or just being different.
That's a really broad definition of "club". I chose "2-5" on your poll, but with the inclusion of political parties it's 5+
Turns out all the "clubs" I belong to are organizations trying to effect some public good. I belong to no social clubs, no sports clubs (#WRCycle is an advocacy group).
A few years ago I (fully sighted) was invited to a discussion on accessibility for people who are blind or have low vision. While Ontario has disability programs to provide assistive devices, they prescribe specific technologies, often years out-of-date. So while there might be new technology that can OCR text-only images, people using ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Program) often can't use it or afford it.
TL;DR: Always provide AltText even for text-only images.
Last time I used pip was around 1985 on a CP/M computer...
I voted "DST is wonderful, let's expand it to all 12 months" because I prefer my daylight in the evening.
But I hope that answer didn't mean that we move the clocks an hour forward *every* month!
I've been using KeepassXC for years without any browser plugin. I tried it a couple of months ago, but the plugin didn't do anything I couldn't already do without it.
KeepassXC is a great password manager, independent of the utility of an optional plugin.

The Elections Ontario colour is "Mango".
The No Frills colour is "Chrome Yellow".
How could that possibly create confusion?
Adding a hastag for #Humour, in case that was too subtle. Like the colours.
At the start of the speech, PM Trudeau explains how the US tariffs have real consequences for the citizens of the US, their jobs may be in jeopardy, and raise fuel and grocery costs. Five minutes later he tells us that he's imposing the same tariffs in Canada. So he's putting Canadian jobs in jeopardy, increasing household costs for Canadians, and causing Canadians to experience the same consequences he's warning US citizens about.

> The Electronic Intifada team stands in solidarity with Ali Abunimah. Speaking out against injustice in Palestine is not a crime. Journalism is not a crime.
I misread that as "Speaking out against injustice in Palestine is now a crime. Journalism is now a crime" and, sadly, that seems to fit...
I've changed. I used to prefer apps installed on my computer because the browser versions were inferior.
But my experience with sureveillance-ware on phones makes me prefer browsers now, even on the desktop, where I can manage (to some extent) the third-party Javascript that gets loaded, popups, &c.
I'm likely deluding myself that the in-browser apps are any safer than installed apps, tho.
The people who ask leftists to not split the vote are always centrists.
Is it because the centrists are already compromising, and they feel like everyone should compromise with them on their vision of the future?
