I'm pretty certain that you can turn Relay off in your account settings.

Don't tell that to your kid unless you want them to start pooping in your bed.

Yes, you also need to hope they're not building android replicas of all the voters, too.

Except they have a much higher rate of lost or miscounted ballots.

But the two methods can be used together to create an improved system: electronic ballots with a printed 'receipt'. My state uses this method. Before submitting your ballot, it displays the paper receipt and asks you to confirm your choices. If it's incorrect or you want to change it, you can reject the ballot and it is immediately voided in front of you. If it's fine, you press a button and it submits both the digital and paper copies of your ballot.

Election monitors can then validate the calculated results against the paper receipts.

Your first source is about women working in Canada and your second is about poverty in Canada.

Unless I missed something, Canada still is a sovereign nation despite what Trump wants.

I don't like OneDrive but that's not correct. I work in broadcast news and we absolutely use OneDrive for internal and external file sharing.

Eh, could be worse.

You could have #REF! errors instead.

Even Adam Smith was pretty clear what happens when capitalism is unregulated:

We rarely hear, it has been said, of the combinations of masters, though frequently of those of workmen. But whoever imagines, upon this account, that masters rarely combine, is as ignorant of the world as of the subject. Masters are always and everywhere in a sort of tacit, but constant and uniform combination, not to raise the wages of labour above their actual rate. To violate this combination is everywhere a most unpopular action, and a sort of reproach to a master among his neighbours and equals. We seldom, indeed, hear of this combination, because it is the usual, and one may say, the natural state of things, which nobody ever hears of...

The liberal reward of labour, therefore, as it is the necessary effect, so it is the natural symptom of increasing national wealth. The scanty maintenance of the labouring poor, on the other hand, is the natural symptom that things are at a stand, and their starving condition that they are going fast backwards.

So much equipment.

First you have to buy the DVD writer and then you also have to get yourself blank DVDs.

All/almost all net metering plans will still charge access and/or infrastructure fees.

Its range is also only 180 miles. The smaller battery definitely helps keep the cost down.

This car might not be for me but I definitely see its value and hope they're successful.
