mostly inactive, lemmy.ca is now too tainted with trolls from big instances we’re not willing to defederate
And for every 99 doctors siding with reason, there’s that 1 doctor that sides with the anti vax crowd. Every profession has its quacks, and having just 1 dissenter among 100 is enough for the Cons (and unfortunately a big chunk of the media) to label something as “controversial”.
Rustad sometimes forget that dog whistles are a supposed to be heard just by the dogs and not by regular people.
At this point he was just yelling “YO MY WHITE SUPREMACY DAWGS” on a megaphone and people still vote for him.
Just say yes to fuck up their metrics.
“Yes but don’t contact me on this number again, it’s my work phone”
To help fund this foreign tourists should pay an entry tax depending how long they stay.
Hmm, I mostly agree with the rest of your comment but you lost me there.
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
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
and weight watchers lol
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.
I would rather not to, so if one was planned to open next to my house, I’d consider moving out. However, I would not fight against opening one because I know society needs these. Let me put it this way: I’d hate to live next to a fire station or a an emergency hospital, but I know the city needs those so I will fight for them to exist but I’d move away from them whenever necessary to protect my sleep and peace of mind.
This is a different question altogether to your first question, and you’ll get a better answer by talking to specialists.
