It seems weird to have a figure from Greek mythology paddling between what looks like a Christian heaven and hell.

Also, this just in....water is wet!!!!
A curious example to use, though. Continental drift in pretty much the poster child example of scientists refusing to change their minds. It was laughed at for 50 years and not accepted until 30 years after Wegener died.
I've seen it cited as an example of how science advances as the previous generation dies off.
It's just a modern version of "Fuzzy Logic"

It's just as much a sport as figure skating or synchronised swimming.
Historically, the name came from Dave Nichol, who was president of the company for decades. He actually had a very strong hand in the selection of products that were included in the product line.
Apparently all kinds of people would pitch product ideas at him, and would taste test them and pick only ones he liked. The idea of "President's Choice" wasn't to be cheapo no name products, but unique and distinctive stuff personally picked by the company's president.
And Dave wasn't just some guy in the corner office. In his prime he was a Canadian personality, and you saw him in TV commercials. Once he left Loblaws in the '90s the President's Choice stuff lost its panache and meaning.
Maybe that's the design most compatible with the available hardware.
Often things like this are intended to be support for something else. Maybe there's something nearby that's hinged and can fold down on to it?
That's nothing. I throw up a little in my mouth every time I see "cheque" misspelled, "check".
Les Nessman comes to mind.
I'm not sure if traffic is "convenience" at this point. At least where I live, it's a nearly essential piece of functionality.
In fact, for local driving it's often the only reason to use a map app. I already know how to get to most of the places I want to go, I just need to know the best route to avoid traffic now.
I don't think that they did.
