Absolutely, I have driven with my boss enough to know that he absolutely does not know what a safe speed is.

Especially when a safe speed for you when you were 40 is probably not the same speed when you are 60 but you are used to driving that way.

Enforcement is the issue. If you see everyday on your drive to work dozens of vehicles using the HOV lane when they aren’t allowed to, and only ever see a cop pulling someone over once every 4-6 months, how often before you also start using the HOV lane when you aren’t supposed to?

Could you go 50% and then use the free time to create some sort of side business?

There’s a “chain” in BC that’s owned and run by first Nations, only three locations that I’m aware of but it’s in three different cities…

It’s pretty decent, almost like a cross between Starbucks and Tim Hortons, but with a first Nations theme to it.

Instead of doughnuts they serve bannock with flavours like Saskatoon berry frosting or apple cinnamon. It’s very good.

They also have great coffee.

For food they have stuff like bannock with bowls of salad with various meats like salom or venison. I usually try to eat there at least once for lunch when I’m passing through one of those cities.

One thing I’ve never understood, is why the fuck do people care about stuff like “white solidarity”…

Why does someone care if their great-great-great-great-grandchild wont be white anymore because someone along the way married and had a kid with someone who wasn’t white when they are long dead?

It’s doesn’t matter at all if 1000 years from now wether or not 100% of humans are white, black, or somewhere in between.

Let alone one that looks so young.

I’m all for getting rid of 60+ year old politicians but someone who looks 30 has no chance.

Voluntary… What a waste of tax dollars developing something people won’t pay any attention to.

That’s also how rich people are rich, by being assholes.

If everyone gets to keep the cash to we then send equivalent cash to everyone else who didn’t apply at the time because they knew they didn’t qualify? Or do we just reward the people who made a mistake / lied and screw over the people who were smart enough / honest to not apply?

My parents are in a kerfuffle with some agency over COVID funds.

My dad got laid off around the time of COVID for unrelated reasons, not because of COVID or shutdowns in anyway.

He then applied for employment insurance since he qualified.

Without anyone asking, he somehow was instead put him on some sort of COVID EI thing instead of regular EI

Then later on someone decided the COVID EI thing needs to be reimbursed or something so they are asking for all the money back despite the fact he would have gotten more money from regular EI and never asked for the COVID stuff.

It’s been like 4 years now and they are still trying to get the money back and won’t even talk to them to try and fix the situation, just keep sending letters.

I’m not Arctic expert but I imagine icebreakers aren’t chipping away at glaciers.

They are probably only breaking ice that forms each winter and melts each summer so have no effect on the permanent Arctic ice.

If anyone know more correct me if I’m wrong.

Do the current laws not apply?

The companies have their standard “AI isn’t perfect take the information with grain of salt” bullshit disclaimer but I don’t see how that makes the current laws of libel, slander, and defamation any less relevant.

I just don’t think anyone had bothered sueing anyone yet for these companies to figure out the risk they are actually taking.

Why isn’t it a requirement that all sub-companies don’t have to have the parent company name somewhere on their store and advertisements?

Like, instead of just “No Frills” on the store it should be required to say “Loblaw’s No Frills” or soemthing so it’s more obvious where your money is going.

Is there any concern from your polish friend that they may be next if Russia wins in Ukraine?

The article I read which had this photo featured stated that Putin had invited a bunch of reporters to Kupiansk to see how the Russian forces had surrounded the city.

Then Zelensky went there and took this photo to be like “oh no, Russia has this place surrounded? I would have never known”

No Idea if that’s true, but that’s the gist I took away from that post.

I feel like the Nooksack river overflowing twice and flooding Canada might indicate we should make some sort of dike along the border to keep the water on their side.

I went to bed with a view of the forest and woke up to a view of the river.

All I know is that if I were in constant pain and shitting myself because I had no more bowel control and had no ability or freedom to move myself anymore, and I could no longer do anything I enjoyed like hobbies and I was confined to sleeping 95% of the day away…

I would put myself down.

Why would an oxygen rich Environment help trees grow bigger? They consume CO2 and exhale Oxygen. If anything they should grow better in a CO2 rich Environment.

Prehistoric insects were larger because of an oxygen rich Environment, but I don’t think that applies to plants.
