change time locale from en_DK to en_CA
...
I use en_DK purely to get YYYY-MM-DD date formats and 24 hour time, but
for some reason the Javascript Intl object considers en-DK to be
DD/MM/YYYY, so dates in my web browser are all nonsensical.
en_CA also uses YYYY-MM-DD and 24 hour time, and Javascript seems to
recognize this, so this change gets me sane dates in my browser.

Disabling Intel pstate is only necessary on Skylake machines with the
