While the article focuses on Mercedes-Benz, as a Volvo owner, I was immediately concerned about what will happen when my lease is up.

Buried at the bottom of the article are these three paragraphs:

Volvo, which is majority-owned by Shufu’s Geely, said on Tuesday that it received specific authorization from the U.S. government to bypass federal bans restricting connected vehicle software and hardware linked to China.

Volvo confirmed its special authorization but did not immediately respond to questions about the other bills and their potential impact on the company.

Volvo Cars sold 121,600 vehicles in the U.S. last year. Mercedes-Benz sold 303,200 passenger cars and 12,400 vans in the country during the same period.

Clearly, the correct answer is Dr. Acula.

My feed right now:

The shareholders of the Ontario Medical Association? I guess those would be the taxpayers of Ontario, maybe. Or the doctors perhaps.

Whoops… I saw a grainy promo photo and listened to the song and jumped to conclusions. Thanks for the correction!

As someone commuting to the city from the Eastside (now taking the train every day), I was unfamiliar with the sad state of the 8 line before this post.

There’s a dedicated website: https://fixthel8.com/

I learned from that site that all-girl punk band Tacocat wrote a song called F. U. #8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRFlROqgFwo

Do you think prices work like “A big Mac is 3”, so it will be CAD$3 or USD$3 or 3€ or 3£, and that’s what makes the Canadian dollar weak for travel?

Otherwise, I don’t understand the question. Like, yes, 1 Canadian dollar is worth less than 1 Euro, but after conversion a lot of prices end up being similar. (Beer and cheese tend to be a lot cheaper in Europe than in Canada, but that has nothing to do with exchange rates.)

In this case, they’re talking about being in the natural numbers club, and applying the “successor” (or “succ”) function.
