In Canada the mail delivery has shifted to communal mailboxes in new communities as a cost savings measure. Problem is asshole theives who smash them open and steal everyones mail at once.

We have free wifi at our library, as well as a lot of other things like meeting spaces you can book.

More communal transport seems to be needed. After work from home, and occasional bus to work, the time I had to drive to the office to swap equipment and sit in rushhour traffic for an hour was painful. Like there is no way every single person needs unique travel to work

Artisan Bread in 5 minutes recipe. No machine no kneading. Best bread I have ever eaten. This one they updated to 1 tablespoon bread yeast, but old recipe was 1.5. i think 1.5 Tbsp of yeast tastes better. And use bread flour, rather than allpupose. https://artisanbreadinfive.com/2013/10/22/the-new-artisan-bread-in-five-minutes-a-day-is-launched-back-to-basics-updated/

If you have a large work budget, then Siemens NX (version 12 or less) runs on RHEL or SUSE.

The other replies spell some of it out, but there are some things I should note so you have a broader picture.

Some provinces have pharmacare so after a max deductable (based on income) your medicines are free. If you are disabled you can also apply for a provincial form that makes all medicines free (no max starting deductable)

If you have a provincial disability designation you can get dental, eyeware, drugs, therapy, devices needed covered by a special provincial health insurance. The person you asked may not have been aware of this, or they live in a province that has a higher threshokd of what constitutes disability. (The reason I say unaware is their statement about $6800 max earnings is not correct) The only downside is you don't have a list of what is covered, you have to submit the cost or try for preapproval. Why it is a secret about what is covered is a mystery...I can only assume to stop people reading through and taking advantage of free stuff??

If you have cancer and out of work their is a cancer fund that supplements your income. However they look at previous years earnings to determine eligibility, so if you were healthy then suddenly got sick, rather than slow decline in earnings, you have no funding available because of high amount on last tax return. You would have to wait till the following year when you file a low income tax return to get help.

Actually I just looked into this for my wife. $6800 is the max before you having to call CRA/CCP about it. $19K is the cutoff where they deem you may not need CPP. You call them in between those numbers and they can review if full CPP is still required or if adjustments should be made. Don't get me wrong the CPP amount plus $19K is still a low income...but you may be able to earn a bit more if capable.

I have seen the other side. Friends dad got a terminal cancer diagnosis--too far along to be able to treat. He had done very well in life, so funds were not an issue. He chose MAID because he said "why would I want one more month of this pain and suffering to continue." We put animals down that are beyond help and suffering out of compassion...why would we not extend that courtesy to those who no longer want to go through it.

Sure but they pay for unix certification even though some isn't so unix...thus they y I added.

Nope just maintainers that I can't verify their identity, not asians in general.

We live in a mixed bag of skin colours here, I have no issue with people...just CCP and their infiltration of their officials into Canada... that are harassing citizens and Permanent residents of chinese descent.

It is amazing how little you need to have a functional system. I have a OpenMediaVault / minidlna server using NAS ARM board that only has 256MB of RAM, and it isn't using all of it, and doesn't need to swap.

Yeah ddinitely needs image swap, or this meme would make more semse if it said $ instead of requirements. MacOS is unixy and doesn't require super specs
