Title is somewhat misleading. Apparently these deaths were "potentially associated with the bug".

HackerNews commenters also note that the documentation provided by these meters explicitly call out that the user needs to be mindful of extreme readings and relate them to how they feel; then using a prick meter to check in situations where the reading is questionable. They also call out that the bug isn't on the side of the measurement scale near "death if incorrect reading" but on the "could be bad if not corrected long term" side.

So it's unlikely these deaths are all directly related to this bug.

Though obviously this is still bad, shame on Abbott, just not click-baity bad.

I love when things are named by the public. I think this should be done more often (but limited to local participants) to show the culture of the area in the names of things.

Calgary, AB, Canada held a content for Snowplow names. I would love if all the city busses had fancy names :p https://engage.calgary.ca/namethesnowplow

Thank you.

I wish there was one article that had all this info instead of basically nothing like the CTV article -_-

I would probably pay for a news site that provided simple and verifiable information and links elsewhere like that rather than wordy writeups and crappy summaries or stolen videos.

I was worried enough about buying a used car in five years, thanks. Nov I have to worry about having the shit infotainment systems that were disappearing on top of having to pay a subscription to release my parking breaks??

FYI the picture doesn't match the data given on the page; I went with the data by both sexes rather than the picture.

No, we are the 20th. Order by life expectancy both sexes, count down, next page, count down. We are 20th. The picture doesn't agree with the data so I am using the data on the page rather than the picture.

21st? Isn't it 20th by both sexes?

But yes, I read the picture like a derp so updated the title. :|

Nope, counted down the column wrong. More like a couple dozen so I changed the title.

If you sort the search results by life expectancy both sexes, Canada is twentieth.

Yes, I do hate OneDrive.

The article doesn't mention how it Moves all the files and library folders when it's turned on. If one tries to go look in the folders outside of explorer it becomes clear than everything was moved into a weird OneDrive folder rather than OneDrive just backing things up from where they were.

Could be that everyone identifies with the same things that the group you're referring to experiences. But that group often has it much worse than most people. Or that the vocal minority of that group misrepresents the hole.

What you see as "basically normal" is after they are medicated. Isn't that the point of the medication? Maybe go look at someone who stops taking it for an experiment.

Oh, I haven't spoken to any Albertans who like what Trump's doing. Everyone in my Albertan life thinks he's a fucking moron.

It's pretty silly to through around credentials.

Here's a video of an OLED TV updating in slow motion. The pixels are on in between updates so it really doesn't matter how fast it's updating it's not going to cause headaches or any of the problems that we used to associate with strobing style displays. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=54E3uUEryZM

Calgary officials provide update on repairs after 'catastrophic' water main break

Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas says there's a "ticking time bomb" under the city's streets, and that means a new reality for residents moving forward.

"This Bearspaw feeder main served Calgarians for many years, but right now, it is at end-of-life," Farkas told CBC Radio's Calgary Eyeopener on Monday.

"No amount of short-term fixes, no amount of patchwork will be able to get this back into a reliable condition."

Last Tuesday, Calgary saw its second "catastrophic" water main break in the northwest in less than two years. That led to water restrictions and a boil-water advisory for several northwest communities, which were lifted late on Sunday.

Evidence suggests that exposure to certain animals early in life (even before birth) decreases allergies later in life. Other animals seem to make allergies worse.
