Unless the weird smells come from the driver. If a customer causes a smell the car will be cleaned and the customer fined. If the driver is smelly - like from sitting in a car all day - there's nothing to be done.

Starlink meets the intent of fast internet, if not their arbitrary line. Everyone I know who has one loves it.

Canada is planning on giving the mentally ill access to maid in 2027.
