Typical teen (and often preteen) response to be told to not do anything by adults: Say, "Yeah, right," and go off and do it anyway. Even if you block them outright, they'll find a way around it.

It’s sad for the animals and the injured humans,
Dead humans. If you're talking about moose, at least part of the time the result is dead humans—an elementary school classmate of mine (in northern Ontario) lost an uncle that way. Serious damage to cars often means serious damage to occupants.
Collisions with the local bears tended to be worse for the bears than the humans, because bears are lighter and lower to the ground then moose. They were also much rarer, because bears are less likely to stand in the middle of a narrow highway with a 90km/h speed limit and just chill.
There's a good chance that this happened in part because they still haven't ironed out the racial bias in the training data sets for these systems—Mr. Parks appears to be dark-skinned.
without any shitty engagement algorithm.
There, fixed it for you—the extra word is important. Algorithms are evil only if used for the wrong purposes.
He's hoping everyone will be drunk enough not to notice whose name they're checking off on the ballot during the next election, since this is his second term and three consecutive terms is unusual for an Ontario Premier.
By circa 1990, I believe the course was called Life Skills or something of that ilk, and was not mandatory. (I didn't take it, although it would have been one hell of a lot more useful than PhysEd, I'm sure.) We did cover some related material in math classes at various points.
Really, you coulld put this in elementary schools—none of it needs more than fourth-grade math. Basic arithmetic operations, percentages, decimal points.
At that point, you might as well just rent a pickup.
Disgusted (mostly at the Russian government), but not surprised. There was no good option for Mozilla to take with respect to this—it was either block these add-ons in Russia, or have the entire browser blocked in Russia, and I'm not sure which would do the most harm in the end.
That's kind of an insult to the parrot, isn't it?
Too bad the map legend is unreadable on my browser—flies off to the right when opened. Although I doubt it would tell me anything I didn't already know.
What, you mean 640KB isn't really enough for everyone?
. . . I kid, I kid. Still, the CarThing strikes me as more of an embedded-type system. 512MB is generous for devices of that class, and more than sufficient for a carefully-tailored Linux kernel + busybox + another 100MB+ of running software. Potato, yes, but potatoes are a useful food source—just not as impressive as filet mignon.
If your local library is no good, you can also try Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?query=woodworking. Has an exhaustively detailed book on joints in particular, plus an assortment of beginners' manuals. A lot of hand tool stuff hasn't changed all that much in the past century.
