It will be interesting to see if the emerging global 5G satellite networks will disrupt the traditional distribution ecosystem in Canada?

We can only hope... Sounds like Starlink has been very promising for the rural folks. We definitely need more options / competition. Not less.
Remember when it was MTS and not Bell how you could switch to Shaw or threaten to and they would give you a deal? Not anymore, now they just charge the exact same no matter what, it's just a joke. How many billions in profits do these companies need?

Doubtful, if anything Rogers and Bell are cheering companies like Starlink on because they've promised rural network expansion themselves. If Starlink can deliver cheaply and fast enough there won't be as much demand for their own expansion. Starlink in particular also won't have the bandwidth to compete with terrestrial networks in high population density areas like cities, so no disruption in Winnipeg for example.
There's also a chance that for Starlink to get full regulatory approval here in Canada that they'll need to be operated by a Canadian company for this market, which means zero disruption as they'll likely be operated by Bell or Rogers.

Happy 3:16, you jabronis
I guess it never always sat right with me that this slogan was built on the back of Jake Roberts' trying to sober up during his last hurrah, but on the other hand, Jake turned his life around and got into the Hall of Fame where he belonged (and you better believe I ugly cried my eyes out when it happened!) so I guess all's well that end's well. Or as @kanadalainen would say, <insert entire text of All's Well That Ends Well>

Yes I'm kinda drunk. Yes I'm going to perseverate. Yes I'm going to repeat a story or two. Parse this at your own peril.

We are here, my man. Standing by to parse.
Oh, and happy St. Patty's day to you and sundry.

OK, I guess the board admins think people here are stupid. It's not enough that clicking on the little dot takes you to the first unread message. Now they feel it necessary to drive home that point by sticking a little
symbol on the posts you haven't read. I mean, really?

The documentary with Diamond Dallas helping Jake and Scott Hall sober up was pretty intense. Lots of respect for Page.
Wrestling is such a brutal life style for the boys it’s a wonder any of them survive.

So Holden and I have some news. He proposed on Friday night and I said yes.
Funny story. Ring got stuck because he wasn't sure on size. The rings I wear fit my right hand and not my left. Had to go to urgent care to get it off. It'll be on a necklace until we take it in on Tuesday to get resized

Congrats PS. Sorry, you were upstaged by an engagement.
But getting a dog is pretty great too. We lost ours a little over a year ago, but last June got a Golden Retriever. It's been great to have her while I'm working from home.

In terms of life decisions, my experience goes:
Getting a dog > getting married
Just kidding... celebrating 20 years in June

That sounds like an insult I'd be called when kids found out I was half Australian.
Awesome news though, I'm sure your kids will love her!
Congrats to you both!

Is anyone else having trouble reading HF Boards, and inputting comments? I've got so many ads and pop-ups that it crashes the site, and puts me in a white screen if I don't manually reload the page.
Also the posts all appeared to be strangely centred on the page (during the Nucks game).
Its far worse when the "Live" posts are running. Last night's game was brutal. 10-15 crashes on my laptop during the Live feed.
Today is much better.
Any comments would be appreciated.
