As someone with ADHD, an ad-blocker is not a want, it's a need, so I'd be using Ecosia with an ad-blocker, which defeats the purpose.

How do they profit? I'm allergic to advertising, and I happily pay for Kagi to be able to control what I see and how my search results are displayed.

The only Popeye's I've been to was the one on Henderson Hwy in Winnipeg, maybe it's a really good location.

I stand corrected, 3G Capital had a 71% stake in Burger King before RBI existed.

3G Capital now owns 30% of RBI, a company that is half-american, I still wouldn't consider Tim Hortons "Canadian-owned" because it's only partly true.

I also think RBI drove most of its franchises into the ground. I can't remember the last time I went to Burger King, and I only go to Tim Hortons very occasionally for ice caps.

I think their only good franchise is Popeye's, and it doesn't exist in Quebec. Never heard of firehouse subs.

CIRA is awesome, I set their DoH service as my DNS provider at the router level at home.

I don't consider myself to have OCD tendencies, but I noticed it immediately ๐Ÿ˜…

The Lego on the left are not the same size despite having the same number of studs

Eh, maybe not. I also think Tims' coffee is undrinkable, so YMMV.

They are Canadian, but I really hate their coffee.

There aren't many left in Montreal because independent coffee houses / shops are competing hard with them.

And they are almost wholly owned by 3G Capital, a Brasilian conglomerate. RBI is just a technicality.

Unfortunately American, but I really, really liked Vermont Chocolates' Skippers, always grabbed some when I drove to VT. Much higher quality than Mars M&M.

Hopefully some Canadian company can take their place.

 

That's all. I really love 1Password though, I don't think I've ever had any issues with them and their Linux support is excellent.

I learned that Tailscale is Canadian after learning that CloudFlare indiscriminately routes your server traffic through the US, including CloudFlare Tunnel traffic.

This happens constantly. I had tape on it for a while, but even that failed.

Picture above is dramatization without the tape for clarity's sake, today it poked through the tape and shut itself off, this is how I actually found it:

 

I accidentally spilled treats in my trunk so I sent him in for a recovery operation
