These are my personal guesses:

• NBC wanted someone who was the opposite of Lester, and he was given the decision to either host another show or resign.

• Doing a show five days a week for ten years can really wear down someone, and he decided to host something that didn't require him to host as often (since Dateline is a weekly show).

• Lester wanted a change (as he has hosted the same show for many years).

• NBC (as a whole) is changing, so they thought they should slowly change their hosts to reflect the political view they want, and why not start with a nightly show.

We all know how this is going to end, we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong. And if they find something wrong, they'll either "fix" it or omit it from the public report.

The federal government said it would use its immigration powers to prevent Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials from entering Canada to compete under their national symbols.

Veteran sport lawyer Dick Pound said the sports tribunal has no authority to dictate which athletes Canada allows into the country.

"Short of stamping their feet and pouting, there's not much they can actually do," Pound said.

Pound, a longtime International Olympic Committee member and former CAS arbitrator, said the Canadian government has the final say on who enters the country.

Encrypt your computer (which will make it harder for someone to get into it). Use more complex passwords (lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols). Use open-source software (or at least the ones that are fully offline / can turn off tracking). Using physical devices (not bluetooth) where possible (as someone could be nearby and see that you use that brand of mouse). Turn off microphone and camera when not using it (physical switch is better, if possible).

I believe the filter just hides the cookie banner (which I believe on many sites means you accept all), where consent-o-matic actually accepts & rejects according to your preferences.

Regarding why an update, as there are many sites that it doesn't automatically accept/decline, and having an update will have it done automatically rather having to manually set.

One idea for the bathrooms, is getting a doctor that knows your kids the most (most commonly that would be a family doctor, but if a kid has a reason to have a specialized doctor then go to that one) to get a signed letter that tells the school to give the kid(s) unrestricted access to the bathroom. Then give that to the school and the school basically has to do what the doctor says (because you or the doctor could put up a fight if they don't).

Kids could also make the data useless by checking in to multiple places, or leaving it somewhere in the school (for example).

Sounds like it's time (if you can afford to) to donate to a food bank. I've read that donating to one like Canada Food Bank (or your provincial one) has a greater impact than your local food bank.

There are many ways this could be solved, but the governments seem to always refuse to do so. Like UBI, or forcing groceries to not pass on the increased costs to consumers.

The full-size Blahaj is around $40 (there is a smaller version for around $15, but I didn't see that until writing this comment), and Kramig is under $25 (around $5 from what I see).

If they don't already have one, then a wireless mouse or keyboard. You may need to avoid the brand names to get under that price.

A shelf (like one for the countertop or wall or to put on floor) to put stuff on. A soft animal (like a kramig from IKEA). A rice cooker (who doesn't like coming home with food ready).

Those of us whose kids can commute on our own, take it for granted.

Taking a real example (but not exactly where I live): 916 Clearview Dr in South Carolina has a nearby school that is a two-minute drive and about 16-minute walk. However, most of the way there doesn't have any sidewalks, so kids can't walk safely (which means there will be very few crossing guards), and the cars only have stop signs. Some of the areas that are passed are very run down and may have gang activity (which makes it unsafe for the kids). There might also not be any school buses as they could be considered too close, or the area doesn't have the funding.

We also can't forget about the parents as they may have a tight schedule and it's better for them to drive (ensuring both the kids get to school, and they get to work).

Went out soon after the trick-or-treaters came out to go see what the neighbours display looks like at night. Luckily I don't live right next to them.

Went to supermarkets to see how much halloween candy they have left, and if they've started discounting them... Looks like the shelves are still full (I can't imagine how much stuff they have behind the scenes) and no discounts yet.

"White House confirms independent media reports that President Donald Trump has passed"

Or something like that, because we all know the white house won't go out and say he has passed, other outlets will report it first, then at one point the white house will have to say it.
