I'm in Kelowna and loving it. We're turning more progressive as the city grows. NDP lost the ejection here by 40 votes out of 25783 total votes, that's pretty good considering how conservative this area used to be and how much popularity the "fuck Trudeau" style conservatism has gained and retained over the years. Can't really go wrong with any of the small towns around here either, from Vernon to Lake Country to West Kelowna to Summerland to Penticton.

I am not looking forward to the next federal election. Trudeau is about to pull a Biden and stay in too long and hand the whole thing to the right in a landslide. If only that dummy didn't give up on electoral reform the second he got into power. What a waste

EVs aren't flying off the lot here in North America because they're still to expensive, maybe spending that money on research would fix that problem since China's found a way to make money off amazing EVs, but no, spending money on shareholders is the American way

Fortnine did a fun video sort of explaining why high end bikes cost as much as a motorcycle: https://youtu.be/BS9ugdl1FZc

Weight matters for sure, but he's trying to take away the argument of "my F-150 weighs the same as that Tesla Model Y, so screw you liberal" by focussing on the fact that grill height has a way bigger impact than weight does.

Also F9 is a (very very good) motorcycle and mountain bike channel, so don't expect them to be the most thorough video on trucks. But I'm glad he made the video because a lot of dirt and adventure bike riders have big ass trucks to haul them around

Ohh awesome! These are available in Canada again. They suddenly weren't available a couple months ago and it killed my lunch routine

In Connect: open the sidebar you can hit the 3 dots beside "front page" and then pick "set as default". Next time you open the app it will default to that. You have to go into the settings if you want to default to "hot" or "top day" instead of defaulting to "active"
