To me he was just deluded. He really believed in his own nonsense.
A real crook would have never have gotten into that sub.

The epitome of drinking the Kool-Aid! I even have the Kool-Aid recipe:
- surround yourself with yes-men and sycophants
- fire everyone who disagrees with you
- fake it till you make it.
Not surprising, that works pretty well also in the political arena.

He was definitely passionate about trying to get people to "sign up". People weren't approaching him ... he was chasing them down.

Is that any tree sap, or specifically maple?

Got it - we buy Maple Syrup directly from the producers in New Hampshire.

Birch is used in a similar fashion to Maple. I'm pretty sure there are others that are used in cooking.

Hi All,
A question for Canadians is 'Gas N' Go' still a thing? (was it ever a thing?) A means of using RFID to at Petrol, Gas or general fuel stations I think. Back in the day (early 00's) Texas Instruments were making a thing over it when I did my 13.56 training, never heard of it since. I think my company could be using the same RF space and questions will have to be asked if its still a thing or otherwise. I think the right questions weren't asked at the time. (to avoid the FCC)

I have an RFID tag that says "Shell" on it. I used to be able to wave it in front of a gas pump at the Shell station and then start filling the car.
It was super convenient because their system remembered my credit card and Air Miles card. Which now sounds like a security nightmare.
Shell stopped supporting it ages ago (15 years maybe?) and we've also decided that Air Miles is no longer paying enough for our shopping data.
Was Gas N'Go a Shell affiliate?

Looks like Esso killed their version[^] of it as well:

Well that's a possible problem avoided...

We have a similar system in Israel, but I don't know the technical details (RFID? something else?). I do know that it is very short range - the receiver is on the pump's nozzle, and it won't work unless the nozzle is in the car's fuel thingy (technical term ).
