Before the ThinkPads, I used one of these "portables". It weighed about 30 lbs. - IBM PC Portable (1984)

ublock Origin has been disabled in Chrome, Chromium, Edge etc. I'm running Linux Mint (Ubuntu). I tried the various fixes to get it working without success. I downloaded Ungoogled Chromium as an AppImage and found that it's linked to my old Chromium profile. uBlock now works! #Chrome #Chromium

Don't fall for Shoppers Drug Mart fake "SALES". Many of the products they sell are priced much higher than at Loblaws (ultimately owned by the same company). Here's an example price comparison. This item on sale at Shoppers is selling at the same price as the regular price at Loblaws.

I've thought of visiting the store one more time before it closes. I remember back when it was Simpson's. I think it would be very sad, so probably not. I'd prefer to remember it when it was great. This picture is from 1975,prior to the demolition of Eaton's to make way for the Toronto Eaton Centre.

One in four Canadians are food insecure, but Loblaws wants the rest of us to "Crave More". Such a despicable company.!

Here's another one, called Fallingwater. It's in Stewart Township in the Laurel Highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania. How beautiful!

Boycott or avoid Amazon? Here's some baby steps: Uninstall Amazon app from your phone to avoid being tracked. Amazon owns IMDB and advertises your Amazon searches through the IMDB app. Do you have an Amazon gift card balance? Cash out by purchasing gift cards for Canadian restaurants and retailers.

FYI, Value Village thrift store is NOT Canadian. It's owned by Savers Value Village Inc., a for-profit thrift store retailer headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, USA. The majority shareholder of Savers Value Village Inc. is Ares Management, an American private equity firm.
