Canada’s S-210 is part of a wave of proposals worldwide seeking to gate access to sexual content online. Many of the proposals have similar flaws. Canada’s S-210 is up there with the worst. Both Australia and France have paused the rollout of age verification systems, because both countries found that these systems could not sufficiently protect individuals’ data or address the issues of online harms alone. Canada should take note of these concerns.

The answer depends on the country. In the US, review the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. In Canada, there is the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) regulations and also the CRA requiring the individuals and businesses retain their records for up to six years.

if there’s some sort of way around this either with a lawyer or federal form or something.

Very unlikely.

Terminal is life!

But also, easy mode Linux distro for the technically challenged would be great

Berríos will start for the Blue Jays on Opening Day, and Eflin will take the mound for the Rays as they host Toronto at 4:10 p.m. ET on March 28 at Tropicana Field. It will be the fourth Opening Day start for Berríos and the first for Eflin.

March 28th, I'm pumped, are you pumped?

Unpopular opinion? More like controversial opinion amiright? At the time of my comment, almost as many people agree with you (downvotes), as disagree with you (upvotes).

All I can say on the subject is that if you choose to speak about your views, you should do it with respect to others. You wont change anyones view point by shitting on their beliefs, athiest or otherwise.

Met a couple of really neat dudes at the store looking for parts for this guy. I really liked the uniqueness of it.

I hope the gov (fed, prov, muni) are prepared to invest big time in infrastructure.

He'll probably get better service if he calls his credit card company (hopefully he ordered using a credit card) and having them reverse the charges. He'll maybe have to wait 30 days, but since he has a police report and amazon isn't cooperating, I think the cc company will go ahead and do it.

Sure, he wont have a watch but at least he wont be out $2k

Reminds me of the "Op" wars on IRC. All users would be given @ status and the point was to kick everyone before you got kicked. Writing scripts for this was my first "taste" at programming.

I'm new to whittling and these are the first things I completed that don't look like trash.

I followed one of those "make a fox" youtube guides for the first one.
