General Discussion / Re: Payment from Canadian Microsoft Software Class Action lawsuit
« Last post by ssfc72 on Yesterday at 08:29:58 am »Can't recall, but I think you may be correct.
I don't know how I missed out on that one! Was it related to price-fixing?

You will be so wealthy when all this is done!

Politics & Society / Advance Voting opens today
« Last post by Jason on May 19, 2022, 12:00:49 pm »Advance polls are open and apparently, they will be until May 28. That's pretty awesome. I always think it's best to vote in advance so if there are any problems, you have time to resolve them beforehand. Note that, just like with election day, you need to go to the voting poll assigned to you (which is usually a different location than on election day) OR go to the local returning office in your area to vote. You can do the latter any day during operating hours.
My wife and I will be voting by mail. We haven't received our kits yet but should soon. Then I can either drop them off or just bring them to the local returning office. You can apply to vote by mail up until May 27.
It's best not to leave thinking about voting until the last minute. Check to make sure you're on the voter's list. If you didn't get a card, you should definitely check and save yourself a possible phone call. But you can vote on election day even if you're not on the list. It just makes things more complicated, mostly for the poll clerk helping you.

No persistence. Ventoy only enables booting from many ISO. Just like grub screen, you select and boot from one ISO.

Meetings / Re: PLUG Meetup, next Monday May 9, 2 pm?? Tim Hortons, Monaghan Rd.
« Last post by Jason on May 17, 2022, 08:09:17 pm »I hope we can try to do another one soon. Thanks for trying, Bill!
Fox mentioned the idea of visiting a pub or restaurant with an outdoor seating area. Sitting down for a drink or a burger might incentivize some members to come out (who normally don't). Maybe we could think about that. I wish Tim Horton's had a patio.
I don't know how everyone else feels but I'm comfortable with outdoor dining as long as everyone has all their shots. I know that might mean one booster for some (like me) and two for others. I probably wouldn't stick around for more than an hour just to be on the safe side.
My wife is at higher risk so I have to be careful. I'm not worried about myself but don't want to pass anything to you guys either.
