“Plan my life so that I don’t need to go to the mainland”
They’re talking about the Vancouver Island to Vancouver route.
“Plan my life so that I don’t need to go to the mainland”
They’re talking about the Vancouver Island to Vancouver route.
The major routes between Vancouver and the island are profitable without subsidy, the subsidies essentially all go to the minor routes.
Yup, the factorio devs have earned the trust required.
This is directly contradictory to other super obvious evidence. Like the fact that conservative states have much lower life expectancy.
I think there’s some tomfoolery with this study.
Still considered a laptop, they have low power modes for unplugged use.
The only problem I have with this is that USB-C PD can only go to 240w, which is fine for most laptops but my current gaming laptop has a 240w power brick and it only has a 3060 in it. The 3080 and 3090 variants had 300w+ bricks IIRC.
I don’t live in India, but I hope gaming laptops get some sort of exception if their power draw can exceed the specification limits.
Strategically it doesn’t make sense. It’s better for him to run and lose intentionally, then step down after the loss.
That allows the people to get their hate out, and resets the playing field for the next election cycle when people realize the Conservatives haven’t done shit all to make life more affordable.
The core problems Trudeau is being blamed for aren’t really his fault. They’re global trends happening everywhere, including places with conservative governments.
The person who makes the original assertion needs to prove it, not the one that “asserts something logically stronger”
I can also just point to the fact that we’ve tried a bunch of these policies at a smaller scale, other places have tried a bunch of these policies at various scales, and as far as I know there isn’t a developed country that has declining home prices in cities, or that have managed to keep any of their bigger cities affordable.
I’m going to be the odd one out on this.
I prefer ultra customized recommendations, I wish they were even smarter. Especially if I’ve already bought something, I want them to know so they stop advertising that product to me.
I’d rather see ads for products that I may actually buy rather than for shit I don’t have the slightest interest in.
I rarely buy products without significant research, so ads aren’t likely to trick me into buying something of poor quality. I just need to have awareness of things I don’t even know exist.
No, but It’s still a bad thing to sell something that’s got a negative global effect. This measures that effect.
We sell a very large amount.
I use Photopea, it’s a website so no download and does 99% of what Photoshop and GIMP can do.
Made by a single Ukrainian developer, and free (with some ads on the side while you’re using it)
and yet it’s the most profitable plant to grow on that land, or the farmers would be growing something else.
Kinda makes you think there aren’t any other better options…
You’re using the “no true scotsman” defence right now. There is no other country comparable to the size of Canada in the world other than Russia, so does that mean we can only look at them for policy?
“I don’t know about this place so I’m not going to be able to even consider it’s policies” - That’s an ignorance argument.
Where’s your proof that any of the policies you’re suggesting will work? Do you have a single example of them working elsewhere?
“Nothing fancy at all” What’s the legal definition between fancy or not?
It costs more money to hire people to cook an entirely different meal. It costs more money to buy small quantities of different foods. It costs more money to import fresh products into forest fire zones. Some vegans won’t even eat from plates/cups/cutlery/pans/chopping boards that have had animal products touch them. That would add even more cost.
Should there be a dollar limit on what is considered fancy?
In Canada, even for protected classes, you’re only entitled to reasonable accommodations by employers. For example if you’re blind (a medical condition is a protected class) a taxi company doesn’t have to hire and accommodate you. If you’re deaf, a call center doesn’t have to provide you with a sign language translator who listens to your customers.
I hate the “gallons of water are used” statistics because water is a completely renewable resource if managed properly, and mostly it’s managed properly these days since we realized it was a problem if we didn’t.
What exactly do you plan to use the extra water for if we stop using it for beef? Most if it is used to water the feed crops that cows eat, so what do you plan to use those farms for instead?
Is there a plant that grows in those same areas that’s currently too expensive because of a lack of land? Most of the expensive fruits/vegetables these days are expensive because of the labour involved in harvesting/processing them not due to a lack of cheaper land.
Support, sure, but if you choose to take a job that requires employer supplied food you really shouldn’t be surprised when they don’t serve your custom menu. The employer probably provides two or three different options each meal to satisfy basic allergy/food preferences and that’s a reasonable accommodation.
What if I started a diet that only allowed me to eat wagyu beef garnished with saffron twice a week? Would they have to pay $400 a day to feed me as long as I could prove I eat that for “creed” reasons?
This is just objectively false.
Japan didn’t have single family zoning, anyone could build dense housing anywhere residential in any of the major cities and they absolutely did, and yet it was never affordable. They have massively walkable cities, with great public transportation, and yet… not affordable unless you want to live in a 100 square foot closet that most north Americans couldn’t even fit through the door on.
A bunch of US cities have no zoning and are still not affordable.
Zoning is a slight bottleneck, but it’s not even close to the core problem.
I’m not saying don’t change the zoning, go ahead, but expecting things to become affordable in a few years is an absolute pipe dream.
BC just did it, and developers are just shit talking the policy saying it doesn’t change anything.
Their population hasn’t increased at all in the last 6 years, so how does a lack of land explain the cost increases of housing they’re seeing over that period?
You don’t improve walkability by spreading things out, you actually want the exact opposite.
Speculation is harder if there’s more of something available.
Social housing… I fail to see any connection to the amount of land in a country.
I find it suspicious that they don’t say how many of the 90 casualties are children and seem to imply that it’s not the majority.
If it was actually a school, you’d expect it to be 80+ children.
If they manage to hit 90 people at a school and say 60 of them were adults, then it was definitely Hamas using children as human shields again.
I suspect it’s the later, but id love to see the actual numbers.
Edit: I found more info, the school wasn’t being used as a school at all. It had been turned into a shelter a while ago. So the fact that the article is talking about the destruction of education is just patently false.
