    I've been using a SPOT Gen3 just for piece of mind that people can find us or reach out for help in the most extreme of cases when we are on multi day hiking / canoeing trips in the backwoods. But I only need it a few month out of the year, so I only pay monthly, but they charge reconnection fees every time. Will be really interesting to see what the price point for this is and how much traffic they can handle. Will this potentially be a replacement for cell phones outside of large metropolitan areas where the infra costs for telecom providers are high compared to subscribers.

    Is there a benefit to running it as a repeater on an FM station or is it just the cheapest thing to do? Seems to me anyone who has a FM radio already has AM and AM has a longer range.

    It’s not to be a ****. How many companies closed down. How many people couldn’t work, lost their jobs that the government had to step in with that benefit. The Canadian government even called it a lockdown benefit. I’m not saying it was the wrong decision, not even saying it shouldn’t happen again if a variant comes out that it was way more contagious and / or deadly. But to say everyone impacted by those closures wasn’t in a lockdown because of what happened in Italy is just trying to word smith this. When people say they don’t want lockdowns again, it is what they experienced here in Canada. Not about something they didn’t experience.

    I bit of mixing going on in this thread as mentioned. Antibiotics fight bacteria, not viruses. As for antibiotics in cows, from my understanding (and I'm not an expert here, so feel free to correct me here) they are used in cases when animals are in close quarters to prevent spread of disease, and there is some evidence that they also help cattle grow faster / bigger. Some of the issues with this, as Tracker mentioned, this is giving antibiotics as a prophylactic, meaning before an infection. When done like this, bacteria will mutate faster and gain immunity over the antibiotic which can also affect how resistant the antibiotics are for humans.

  15. The CFL doesn't officially share salaries. It is usually leaked. And I have the least amount of faith in the leaked CFL salaries compared to the other professional sports.
  16. Also saw this tweet from the Jets, wow does Lowry look like a little kid in his early pictures

    Here is to hoping that the new variants follow the typical patterns of being less deadly / severe in symptomns.

  22. We'd like to announce a change in our discussion guidelines that we believe will enhance the purpose and atmosphere of this board. We will no longer allow discussions on political or other controversial topics in this forum. Reasons for the Decision: Purpose and Vision: This message board was created with one goal in mind - to foster discussions around Blue Bomber football. We wish to keep the focus on that. Moderation Overload: Our moderator team, who generously donate their time, have found themselves spending an overwhelming amount of effort on moderating political and related discussions. Civilized Debate: As societal topics have become more polarized, it has been observed that discussions easily derail into emotional arguments. Keeping the forum conducive to healthy debate has been challenging. We encourage those interested in engaging in these debates to seek out specialized forums that cater to those topics. We understand that some of you might have strong feelings about this change. However, the decision is final. This announcement will be locked for further comments. If you have serious concerns, my PMs are open. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Let's keep our passion for Blue Bomber football alive and strong! The Moderator Team
