Brilliant. The city of #Regina has replaced its in-house map of current road closures and restrictions due to construction etc with an embedded Waze map.
Which doesn't show anything other than the bare map to me, in Firefox *or* in Vivaldi.
Well done, lads. Well done. In addition to sending visitors' locations to a US company who then resells it, you've actually stopped it from doing anything useful at all.

Today was this month's Repair Cafe in my city. I think it also marks a full year I've been volunteering at them. I enjoy it a lot.
After last months good results - everything brought to me successfully fixed *except* one item - I got exactly the same result today. A bunch of successes, and one failure. And it's a weird and annoying coincidence - they are basically the same thing, #Sony all-in-one bookshelf #stereo systems. You know the type, they're on the order of a cubic foot and look like a small stack of stereo equipment units, but it's just a cosmetic look. Inside, the tuner, preamp, amp, CD player / changer, tape deck are all one thing. #Boombox in a suit, basically.
Both times, I figured out what was wrong - but I couldn't get to the bits I needed to actually fix them. I got stumped trying to take the front #fascia off the chassis. There's usually a few screws to take the back and/or top off, and then some #clips holding the front fascia to the (usually) one-piece sheet metal sides and bottom. Taking a #spudger to them releases all along the top and sides, but at the bottom of the fascia, it doesn't release - there's something weird about the clips I can't see, and I don't see any #screws responsible, inside or out. I don't want to force it more than I have because it will break.
Any Sony-heads out there know the secret with these things? They're from the 80s and 90s, at least the ones brought into me.

Yup, 'tis chilly in SK this morning.
One of my favourite stories to tell folks from warmer climes is when they landed one of the rovers on Mars, the news stories about it were full of "OMG, the temperature on Mars is -42C!".
And it was -44C here that day. "Officially colder than Mars!"

Here in the middle of the #Canadian #prairies (#Regina, #SK), it was theoretically warmish out today -- only -15C, which is not bad at all for January. This is the time of year when we normally get some of our coldest weather -- occasional days where the mercury dips to -40C, where -35C is not that unusual, and where you might get a week where it never gets above -30C.
But it was *freezing* today. -15C is okay, but 80% relative humidity is not. People joke about our winters being "... but it's a dry cold!", but it really does make a difference. -15C with 80% humidity chills you to the bone in a way that a dry -30C just doesn't. Dressed properly, you can be comfortable all day long in the latter.
Hope we don't have too much more of this humidity in the forecast...
