  • Doug Ford’s new bill would give him too much control over TTC, confidential report warns

  • Over again fords direction seems to be to pretend he's the mayor of Toronto.

  • Ice does have more functions than domestic removal of brown people. It's the same reason ICE was in italy for the Olympics. But why would anyone trust them anymore even if they do provide services that would be useful?

  • Iran War Megathread

  • Yeah, giving a prognosis on the duration of a war is usually not the best idea.

    especially when it's continued operation will be beneficial to him politically.

  • That was probably cbc. Their reaction has been shared a lot.

  • Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder

    Jump

  • I’m surprised by these results tbh. And it seems for most people there is no big difference. But I do think for power users the catch is still there.

    Lazaros Papadopoulos, research assistant at Goethe University, told The Register in an email that the study used the default filter sets for the respective ad blocking extensions in order to mimic the behavior of the typical user and to ensure rule consistency.

    They used the default rule sets. One of the major limitations of mv3 iirc is the number of block list urls you can have. Like I’ve added a number of additional items to block via additional lists which I believe is mostly not possible in mv3.

  • Hilton Hotels refused ICE agents rooms, Trump administration says

    Jump

  • "This hotel is independently owned and operated, and these actions were not reflective of Hilton values,” Hilton told The Independent in an email statement. “We have been in direct contact with the hotel, and they have apologized for the actions of their team, which was not in keeping with their policies. They have taken immediate action to resolve this matter and are contacting impacted guests to ensure they are accommodated.”

    Probably not, their ownership seem to have changed course. Pathetic

  • Bitter feud ensues after landlord's failed attempt to raise tenants' rent 65%

    Jump

  • They don’t really allow 0 down. But It is possible. I went with 0 down just to give the landlord some grace because realistically I was already sure they were misleading on the costs.

  • Bitter feud ensues after landlord's failed attempt to raise tenants' rent 65%

    Jump

  • I’m also noticing the owners said they are bleeding cash. But they bought 7 units (in 4 buildings) for 295,000. Assuming 0 down and 5% apr that just north of 1700 a month. So this one renter paying 727 is nearly half of their mtg.

    Even if we say expenses and upkeep adds 50% to their monthly outlay, their costs are covered at 4 units rented…

    I’m not exactly anti landlord but this screams rent seeking crocodile tears.
