Wasn’t China going to buy a ton of Canadian soybeans since they were avoiding US ones?

Recent news says China is starting to buy US soybeans now. If this was an American plan, it was brilliant.

Since no one has any actual proof, I’ll just guess that the arrested Canadians are spies.

I totally agree. Or at the very least, assests to spies.

China knew about them but let them operate, since known spies are better than unknown ones.

I mean, since everyone is already jumping to conclusions with no proof, this seems just as valid.

Is Heroku considered Serverless? Or is it still more like Digital Ocean (which I consider to be more like #2)?

My Kinesis Advantage failed within 3 months. That was really disappointing. It had the phantom key presses and ghosting issues too.

That's what frustrates me, because I read a lot of good reviews for them. But now I'm just too scared to test my luck again.

Why is this so common on these ergonomic mechanical keyboards?

I had a similar problem with my Kinesis Advantage. After less than 3 months, it would randomly type out gibberish.

I reset it multiple times and even tried different computers and OSes and it was the same. Would have needed to spend 100+ to get the board replaced. So now it's a $300 paperweight.

There was another brand that had similar reviews on Amazon of phantom keystrokes.

This makes me extremely wary.
