1) Breaking: Quebec hospitalizations for and with #COVID have been increasing for nine days in a row, jumping by 70 to 1,946 on Wednesday. This represents the highest tally in the last five and a half weeks, yet the provincial government does not seem to be overly concerned.

2) Quebec declared 27 more #COVID fatalities Wednesday for a cumulative death toll of 17,354, again, by far the highest of any province in Canada. On this date last year, Quebec posted just three more #pandemic deaths.

Nothing will likely happen, but this is definitely tantrum-inducing level of info for the Weird Nerd King 

I just love this. It's like a nice sip of high quality tea. Hits from the EU who say Twitter must adhere to a checklist of rules or face a Europe-wide ban or fines of up to 6% of global turnover, plus the US Treasury, which historically isn't exactly that liberal. :blobcatjustright:​

If the printer companies cared about sustainability, they wouldn’t build IP locks into equipment that brick a perfectly good printer and force you to buy a new replacement.
