If it were free but buses and trains showed up 1/3 as often it’s not worth it.
I think free fare advocates aren’t advocating for this hypothetical tradeoff, it’s probably for increased funding to replace fare revenue
mostly inactive, lemmy.ca is now too tainted with trolls from big instances we’re not willing to defederate

Squamish becoming a commuter town is a bit tragic, but trains would be nice yeah
I don’t think it is a “problem”, but it gets really boring / bleak when every single house looks identical to one another.
It looks boring at first, but over time they come to represent the times of their adoption. I think Vancouver Specials, despite their pathetic looks, have a charm that carries its history and significance. Something similar is bound to happen. And at least this time it’s not a single design, there are quite a few.
I don’t understand. Ending Translink to fund who?
If you’re sure it’s more than you’d expect, then you have some idea. You can just say how much you expect and then we have a lower bound to verify.
In any case do we even know who commissioned the poll? Might as well have been some institution with discretionary spending. Maybe I missed it in the article but it’s not clear that this is government funded research in the first place.
How much money is being currently “wasted” on this? And how much of it is taxpayer funding that could be redirected?
It was previously commercialized as Lightning Fastener in NA, or hookless fastener in contrast with previous “technology”.
Non-english languages sometimes have other words for it, if they encountered it before the Zipper was widespread. In Spanish we have cremallera and cierre. Old timers say fecho-de-correr or “fecho eclair” in Portuguese, referring to another patent holder Éclair Prestil.
write down your calories so you can minimize the number of calories you eat

Interesting how mentioning “fentanyl made China” gets upvoted but “through Mexico” gets downvoted.
GP comment is more than “which comes from China”, so upvotes aren’t that easily compared
Mom, not dad.
Yeah, I know. It goes from “impossible luxury” to “barely affordable” as you go from downtown towards the edges of the metro region. Just saying that it’s not surprising for Vancouver that those prices are so jacked up.
Detached homes shouldn’t even exist in Vancouver metrocore anymore so, it makes sense to be a fortune
archive.is is privately funded by its owners, while archive.org is a registered non-profit. They are not the same.
I guess that should also translate into possibly higher prices for the Mac Pro/Studio line? Or not? I don’t really know, but not worrying about GPU prices feels nice.
Cool, I guess. I’ve been playing Diablo IV on my Mac at pretty decent performance thanks to their new portability kit. I was very close to getting a steamdeck and now I’m sure I don’t need one to have some gaming in my life apart from the time-killers in my phone.
Recently, but it’s mostly just for kicks. Don’t take it too seriously.
Hmm, I mostly agree with the rest of your comment but you lost me there.
