I just got a new electric oven and range. It's a slide-in. The oven makes a nasty chemical smell when I run it. The instructions say that's normal and it should take around thirty minutes if running for it to stop.

I've run it for around eight or nine hours and it's still making a stink.

Those of you who have gotten new electric ovens: how long until it stopped producing an odour?

It was only a matter of time. It sounds like the victim has been seriously messed up.

Shame on Ford and his capitulation to speeders.

When I try to connect to sjw with Summit, I get a 403, and the error message mentions Cloudflare.

Is it possible there's a misconfiguration?

I stopped by the Moulin de Provence today. The pastry display was full of wasps. There were at least six feasting on a chocolate almond croissant. The danishes were in little plastic coffins, so I lined up for one of those. While I was in line, the staff brought out a vacuum cleaner and started sucking up the wasps.

Have the wasps always been that bad there?

Poirier said that when customers asked if the store was undergoing renovations, he joked that the business was installing a drive-thru.

A US law enforcement officer made a typo when they noted a username involved in child luring. The incorrect username was traced to a Nova Scotia man, who was charged and found guilty, solely on the basis of the incorrect username.

The guy, Brandon Klayme, ended up spending 18 months in jail due to the typo. The incorrect username was enough to get the guy convicted and jailed.

I'm surprised this hasn't been a bigger story.

Would you support something like this if your province instituted rewards for getting exercise?

Several social media users pointed out a typo on the French-language signs promoting the initiative that read “Placettes Pubiques,” missing the letter “L” in “Publiques.”

It’s the equivalent of missing the same letter in the word “public” in English.

but they'll be popular

I fully support this move, but I suspect it's going to encourage automation and other productivity improvements before it'll make a dent in youth unemployment.

"Canadian young kids, I’m sorry, they’re not signing up for jobs on farms. They’re not signing up for jobs at the meat plant, they’re not going and planting trees like decades ago in rural and remote locations," he said.

"My 17-year-old son in Toronto is not going to go and move to Timmins to take the job washing dishes in the pizza restaurant."
