I have met a large number of Canadians who have left the country, and they were not super well off. But no where near 1 in 10

They were mostly people who became citizens, then returned to the place they were born for one reason or another.

Sometimes it's realizing that the grass isn't greener, sometimes it someone "back home" gets sick, sometimes it a relationship they have in Canada goes away for one reason or another.

Walter was always awful, he just finally allowed himself to act on it.
Jessie was a generally good person acting like a bad person, Walt was a bad person acting like a good person. Their facades slowly fall away with each season.

Skyler was not perfect, but she gave her boss the money to avoid an investigation which could lead to Walt getting caught.

I have enjoyed my time with this game so far, and I think it's worth it. Opinions will obviously differ

That depends on which game, and if you trust the person who said/wrote it.

The USA is one of the options

As a general rule for Linux; Yes, Nvidia hates linux, and the drivers cause issues in a lot of cases.

But Pop! has specifically worded to try to deal with Nvidia, so it might be smooth sailing, depending on which card you have.

As long as you don't have an Nvidia card, choose whichever functional and complete distro (some people call these "beginner" distros).

MintLinux and Pop!OS are normally the two front-runners for new users. Basically, if you use Steam and you don't play online-only games with bad implementations of anti-cheat software, you are good to game on either.

Make a USB that you can "live boot" from, so you can test out how they work with your hardware before you actually install the OS. Generally speaking, Mint works better with AMD, and Pop! works better with Nvidia.

Here’s the official basic guide for Mint:

I didn't see where the author brought up gender in this article.

Jody Wilson-Raybould should not have been removed, which Jagmeet Singh (the supposed enabler) agrees that it was a shit thing to do.

I also wouldn't say there is a massive backlog of appointing judges. It's under 1% vacancies, with 1 sub for every 5 judges. Though it's not completely balanced, and some places/areas are pushing 10% in open benches.

I have not, meme marketing doesn't interest me.

I hope those that bought it enjoyed the game

If this game has more of a linear storyline and people are simply completing it, then the playtime as an issue. Portal is a great game, and you likely won't spend 100 hours in it.

It looked like it was an open-world explore/build game, which normally means a long playtime of self-directed goals. If you can't keep your players engaged for 100+ hours in those types of games, then the world or the mechanics aren't engaging.
