Iceland loves them some traffic circles: easy to maintain as they don’t need power lines digged through the freakin’ basalt. But they have traffic lights too – and even some with heart-shaped indicators. It’s a little quaint; and from my short stays in the country, it just kinda fits.
I think nationalizing the industry (essentially) is a far better state than what we have now
Justin tried doing that with a small portion of the sector and wow did that backfire. The whiny cons didn’t put that broken record away for months.
we should take use and
“take use” is a weird construct.
harness the resources that we have.
Here’s the thing: Every ounce burned creates emissions, which harms the atmosphere, which is already at a tipping point, and this on a 20-year lag. Burning the already extracted oil that’s being stored now will be enough to absolutely destroy to planet to where we can’t live on it, and we’re currently in the future we made 20 years ago, and the future we’d have if we only drastically reduced consumption just after Y2K but didn’t stop using it completely. We did neither, and so we have all this stashed oil we’re eager to use.
So we don’t even have to extract another ounce if we want to wreck the planet to where we’re extinct: We just need to use our reserves. Extracting that oil is no longer important, then. We can shut the rigs and walk away, and it’s already too late unless we make some serious investment in reversing what we’ve already done. We haven’t made appreciable progress yet, so killer heat-waves and ‘small’ killer storms that only cause a few hundred-billion-dollars worth of damage and a few thousand deaths each year is a nightmare scenario we’re only going to experience for a short time before it gets worse and keeps getting worth for 20 years – or more, if we keep going.
Cool Guide on rhythm guide
Or, “Cool Rhythm Guide” if it were English.
He can be uninformed and still satisfy everything his base requires. Mission accomplished with no background check.
Is immigration something a real-estate journo should be reporting on? It seems a little out-of-its-lane.
Let’s overlook that it’s saying the population is 3-times the job market, with ‘3x’ in the headline like it’s a tik-tok, and it continues this format in the piece.
I feel it didn’t look into the population enough, but at least it stopped short of dog-whistling the entire tune and suggesting Bitcoin Milhouse is going to save us …somehow.
My takeaway: Be More Like Norway, with its higher susceptibility to seasonal affected disorder but low meds usage. It makes me think they’re doing something right.
I don’t think it was designed to imply that.
Are you suggesting that “Antidepressant Consumption” just accomplishes the goal of implying people are more depressed accidentally, then? It’s very effective, even if it tries to hide behind language.
Got error: “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot”
Nice goin.
Hate cars.
I think they were regular cars.
Also the road infrastructure will continue to exist even if it’s just for heavy transport (which is much worse on roads anyway).
If you’re not aware of how much it costs to maintain roads, that’s because it’s largely subsidized FOR trucking, and incompletely at that.
Witness the state of roads and especially bridges, and explain how they should be maintained considering who’s on them. Now remove trucking because we got smart and used rail for inter-city. You’re either going to be using a ez-pass a lot more or the roads will be straight outta Mad Max.
And finally, it’s a 6 hour flight or a 4-day driving trip. One’s shorter and far safer, and the other one destroys friendships because Dave will not stop snoring and I swear I’m going to stop this car right now.
If you’re the type who immediately stands up and blocks everything, then you’re definitely on the list of flying gripes; sorry to say.
Boarding back to front, windows-in, was definitely really cool when I was on a plane with that rule.
A way to lock the overheads and publicize that info would go a long way, I think.
And America is RIGHT THERE to show them otherwise, and still they pitch that to their slobbering crowd of knuckledraggers.
People unimpressed with imperfection willing to go full stupid by voting in the cruel elitist alternative that does everything wrong as Trudeau and then a fuck of a lot more?
Of course.
Thank you. I needed someone to put that all together.
Seems a matter for the courts, but any port in a storm for the whiners.
Innocent until proven WHAT again?
Calm down, Pierre.
Not yet, but Edmonton is helping make that happen.

That’s like ‘traffics’
None of this changes the fact the for many of us it s a binary choice: elect the bad party or accept the worst. Neither the orange nor the green has a chance, although orange does very well with a minority.
