I don’t know if that is a bug or an oversight,

Probably a licensing boondoggle. Silly, yes, but just as likely to be the result of the copyright holders making unreasonable demands or having sold some rights elsewhere as Crunchroll being dumb.

Well, it's airing as two consecutive cours, so we're not quite halfway through yet. Plenty of time for loose ends in the remaining 13 episodes.

Anime treats Christianity about as seriously as it treats Buddhism or any other faith, which is to say not at all. There are comedic takes like Saint Young Men, some exorcist stuff like Vatican Miracle Examiner and the priest character in Ghost Hunt, and occasionally someone will take a look at the history of Christianity in Japan (for instance, the Christians Arc at the beginning of the third season of the original Rurouni Kenshin). If you're looking for something that's Christian in philosophy, you aren't going to find it.

Tesla and Rivian are both newer electric-only manufacturers, though (unless there's something I don't know about Rivian). Their market is quite different from stodgy old GM's.

There are still some places with some leftover LitterRobot 3s in stock at lower prices ( here ), but they've always been expensive. We have a 2, and it cost $700 CAD at the time.

This is going to cripple them in the market. Removing features does nothing to make a vehicle more attractive to the average idiot. Maybe GM thinks they can get away with it because the demand for cars exceeds the supply right now, I don't know.

I'm unsurprised that they have the tech. Whether or not their process has a high enough yield to be commercially viable remains to be seen, however.

You're confusing the Boomers, who are currently tipping over the line into seniorhood if they haven't already (the last of them will turn sixty-five around 2030) with Gen-Xers like me, who had to navigate a somewhat different landscape. We didn't get the high-paying jobs or the cheap anything—that all went to our parents' generation instead. So what were we supposed to do, invent a time machine so that we could go back and unsnarl the seeds of the future economy?

If it matters, most of the TDE development team use Debian or related distros, so if you have no other preference, Debian will probably get you the best support.

If you want to try a live image before committing, Q4OS and ExeGnuLinux both supply ISOs with TDE.

The only thing surprising about this is that the animal welfare agency seems to be less underfunded than other provincial agencies. I wonder what they had to do to keep their budget intact.

They can't do so directly, of course, because it doesn't apply to them. They can be an indirect factor in that privatizing anything that was formerly a government responsibility takes it out from under the protection of the Charter (and corporations will certainly push for privatization if they feel it's worth their while). They can also clog the courts required for the Enforcement section of the Charter with unrelated cases, although I don't know if this is a significant cause of legislative backlog at the moment.

(I'm just polaying devil's advocate, of course—the person you're responding to likely doesn't realize what rights are specifically in the Charter and was too lazy to look it up, even though the full text is on-line and it isn't a very long document.)

but it seems common sense that stuff from US TV wouldn’t apply to us.

Common sense is misnamed, though—it's among the rarest qualities for anyone to have, alas.
