The land is what’s gaining value, not the structure on it

The revenues should have never gone to the police in the first place, they should go into redesigning and rebuilding problematic stroads so the cameras become unnecessary over time while other new permanent features of the road like speedbumps, curves, narrowing, and other traffic calming changes will enforce the speed limits passively.

Maybe we can have both?

Identify problem areas, put up a camera, and use the ticket revenue to help pay for a better designed road there, so that when it’s rebuilt it’s the features of the road dictate the speed limit, and the sign and camera can be removed.

I thought they were based in Toronto

Fedora is great but installing nvidia drivers is just enough of a hassle for most people to skip over it and choose a derivative like Bazzite

Simon Clark had a pretty good nuanced video on recycling and goes over plastics recycling in the latter parts of the video https://youtu.be/iOtrvBdRx8I

TL;DW Consider the environmental impact of systems over materials, most plastic doesn’t get recycled but some types of plastic are highly recyclable, existing plastic is undervalued, reduce > reuse > recycle.

Amazon Web Services is the world’s most popular cloud provider and where a massive chunk of their revenue comes from. Lots of people don’t seem to know about it, but their logistics arms is almost like a side hustle compared to AWS

Maybe you’re thinking of OpenOffice, which has been dead for years

A lot of exercises you can do in the gym you can also do at home with a pair of dumbbells or even just your body weight.

The benefits of the gym for me is having an air conditioned environment, with machines that can guide my exercises and help enforce proper form, a good space to meetup with personal trainers, opportunities for group classes, and somewhere where there’s people around in case anything goes wrong in one of my exercises.

Not all gyms are the same too. There are climbing gyms, kickboxing gyms, mma gyms, gyms with pools, gyms with basketball and volleyball courts, gyms with tennis, squash, and badminton courts, etc. A lot of those you can’t do from home.

You’ve got options.

All of the money spent now on pro-active regular checkups and prevention will limit the amount of reactive expensive emergency surgeries later

But if I ever see anybody looking at me with those glasses on their face, they’d better remove them pronto when I ask them to or I’ll become bellicose rather quickly.

I’m sure Meta will want to normalize these in society very quickly so that you it will become just as acceptable as a stranger taking a photo of their friends with you else accidentally appearing in the background

Are these posts/ads coming in after Carney roasted them?

Alberta’s shorts are great 💙

More fentanyl comes up than is caught headed down. The fentanyl problem feels like it’s blown way out of proportion in order to justify the use of emergency powers to enact tariffs without going through congress.

Almost every trip inside cities, between cities, and even to some rural places could be done with alternatives to cars.

I know it can be hard to imagine a world where cars get minimized to filling a small niche role in a broader transportation system, especially when today most people in Canada and the US think cars are synonymous with mobility. Other countries have shown that car lite/free lifestyles are not only be possible with today’s technology, but desirable.

The alternatives are more space efficient - meaning less traffic congestion, they’re better for the environment, and people’s health and wellbeing.

Even if you’re one of the few who insists on keeping your car, wouldn’t it be nice to give safe, viable, and reliable alternatives to everyone else who doesn’t want to drive so they can get out of your way on the roads?

Landlords who allow their properties to go unused, underused, and/or fall into decay while they speculate on property value should be taxed. This behaviour should have penalties because they’re really not adding anything to the community and taking up limited space that someone else could be using.

Property taxes. Land value taxes are just better.

Does anyone use MPL anymore? Is it a decent middle ground or the worst of both worlds?
