I have been ordering from DigiKey and they've always shipped from the United States (apparently when ordering from the Canadian site it's perfectly normal that they would ship from the United States, at least that seems like their attitude). My understanding about why they are doing this, is they don't have to deal with taxes and duty this way.

Previous orders, this has been "not a big deal, a bit of a pain, but not really a big deal". This time (split order) it's been a really very significant difference. The first part of the order was something like 36% border fees.

I've tried to find a Canadian place, and probably have found a couple of reasonable alternatives, but I'd really like to ask if anyone has some good electronics shipping from Canada.

I get to some degree, it just doesn't really make sense to try to do that, as most of the manufactures are based in the United States. Even Canadian electronics companies, that are "manufacturers" are to some degree dealing with having to get stuff from the United States.

Anyway, if you have a place to look at I'd love to hear. Thanks. #AskingFediverse #AskingFedi

What's up with this keyboard? This is from ThingsBook. Am I right that this is a "very old" Apple keyboard (image is cropped from the iPad, as it just displays in the middle of the screen). #AskingFedi #AskingFediverse

#Cooking questions! Yesterday I baked some potato slices in olive oil in my new stainless steel pan. Afterwards I found these grease stains.

1. What is the best way to remove these without damaging the pan?
2. Can I prevent stains like this and if so, how?
