Something about me that's not covered in my bio: I love to learn languages. So far, I've studied 8: French, German, Spanish, Urdu, Japanese, Norwegian, Mandarin and Ojibwe.
French is my most fluent. The others I only studied about 2 years each.

No better place than Twitter to talk about Musk's projects crashing and burning, so: I've just launched a petition calling on #Toronto to end Tesla's unsafe beta test of "full self-driving" in city limits:

On November 24th, Tesla expanded it's beta test of "full self-driving" software to everyone in North America. [1] Just hours later, a six-car pileup on the Bay Bridge was caused by a Tesla suddenly stopping; two people were hospitalized. [2] Tesla's misleadingly named "full self-driving" feature - which is not full self-driving at all, but rather requires human override at all times - is still in beta testing, meaning it is *not* market ready.
