Canadians are furious, but even considering an uptick to catch rebates this is pure fraud:

Let’s run the numbers:

  • 8,669 iZEV rebates over three days claimed by Tesla dealerships.
  • Mostly claimed by four Tesla locations.
  • Tesla dealerships in Canada are open from 10 AM to 6 PM.
  • That works out to 722 rebates per primary dealership per day.
  • Which equals 90 iZEV rebates per hour.
  • Or 1.5 Tesla sales per minute.

Let’s take a step back. Two Tesla sales every 90 seconds? That’s absurd. A good car salesperson might close two deals in two hours, not per minute. And that’s in a normal sales environment… not one where every eligible car has to be processed for a government rebate at the same time.

They will follow the magnetic field. Directly, without delay, and with vigour.

The technician hits the button causing the machine to vent and hundreds of thousands if not millions in repairs before going home and never working again due to the trauma.

You achieve that peak of human immortality - oral tradition - but it’s limited to a generation or two of nurses.

Infants can generally support their own neck at six months.

At that point, just based on your description, I personally think a child of that age would be able to either stop lolling their head or fuss if they were uncomfortable unless they were to a point of significant distress.

Depends who you ask.

You my boss? It’s the work. And I was in IT.

Wife? The kids.

Kids? Because I like the smell of White Out^TM^.

Just kidding. I don’t actually say those things, I make better jokes but I can’t remember them anymore because my face caught up and nobody asks anymore.

In my case it’s genetic. I started getting greys in my early 20s and was fully grey by 30. This happened to my father. This is seemingly happening to my son. But only one of two biological sons yet the other has curly hair like my father that me and the other platinum child don’t have at all.

I got an MMR vaccine at 40 for a job, and only had to because my records from small town Canada weren’t available from my childhood vaccinations.

Crazy to me that it might actually matter.

On Jan. 21, the day after Musk made two Nazi salutes at a rally at Trump’s inauguration, Shopify’s vice-president of engineering, Farhan Thawar, posted: “If your private chats are all about @elonmusk’s supposed salute instead of the speed and direction of Donald Trump’s executive orders, then you should change chat groups.”

Get a load of this guy. Thinks Nazis are ok.

Here’s the avoidance list mentioned in the article that had the backers removed:

We know, it was a team effort.

There was also that broken Nazi/Soviet pact and all that carving up of other peoples countries though that was supposed to go the other way.

And look, another Nazi plot with the Russians.

Literally happening again no hyperbole with:

Perfect. Could be a better finger choice but really accurate.
