Summary

Russia has supplied North Korea with over a million barrels of oil since March 2024, violating UN sanctions.

The oil is believed to be payment for weapons and troops Pyongyang has sent to Russia to support its war in Ukraine.

The transfers, which have been documented by satellite imagery, highlight the growing ties between Moscow and Pyongyang and the increasing disregard for international sanctions.

I know this is basically the same as burning money, but I found this funny and I've got $7.99 burning a hole in my pocket...

Basinski said space for bike lanes should not be viewed as contributing to congestion. “One lane of mixed traffic can move up to 2,000 passengers per hour in optimal conditions. However, a dedicated bike lane can move up to 12,000 passengers per hour,” the letter reads.

”What problem is this (the proposed legislation) actually solving?” Basinski said. “If anything, it seems to move us backward, away from the common goal of creating complete, livable and sustainable communities that are accessible to all Ontarians, regardless of where they live.”

The City of Toronto estimates the cost to taxpayers for removing these bike lanes could reach $48 million, with the city already investing $27 million in their construction. Restoring vehicle lanes will likely offer minimal improvements in travel time and undermine the public health, environmental and economic benefits of active transportation, the report warns.

Quebecor’s Freedom Mobile has launched a new campaign on Thursday, with the lengthy hashtag #EndOverpricedRoamingFeesNow, to challenge ‘Big 3’ incumbents, Rogers, Telus and Bell, on their costly roaming charges.

The campaign encourages Canadians to sign a Change.org petition and demand fairer pricing from our dominant telecoms.

The move comes after the CRTC requested these companies to address complaints about high roaming fees. Despite the pressure, Rogers, Telus and Bell defended their daily roaming rates, which can cost Canadians as much as $16 per day while traveling, saying their pricing is competitive.

I've just received a couple cases of clementines which are approaching the end of their life.

I've never cooked with them, normally I just peel and eat them. I'm not sure if I'm up to the task of eating all these in the next few days. So if you've got some tips on something I could do to make them last longer I'm all ears

Pantheon season 1 is being added to Netflix tomorrow, but season 2 is not (and might never be). Both seasons are on Prime Video but it is region-locked, though I'm not sure which regions it is available in.

Pantheon is a fantastic sci-fi show with really smart themes that has been completely screwed over by streaming services. The writing is incredible and contains some very intelligent satire and critiques of big tech corporations, and even dips its' toes into geopolitics (not even kidding, the Israel-Palestine conflict becomes a plot point in season 2, and this was written prior to Oct. 7).

If you want to watch the series in its' entirety then piracy is a must for the vast majority. Needless to say, I highly recommend watching.
