One thing I never see addressed with the dream of ending cars and just having bikes is how do first responders operate? How do you transport unconscious people to the hospital? Put out an apartment fire? Get to an armed robbery in time to stop it?

Bikes are great but they also aren’t an end all be all solution to society.

Anxious. I’m already dreading the next 4 years. I usually like to keep informed and up to date on world news but I think I’m going to have to avoid all news for the next few years and just try to ignore what America is doing.

I would love to do this, as I can do all the work myself, but even decrepid farm houses are selling for $2+ million because they are usually on a large lot and developers can knock it down for apartments and townhomes/duplexes and fourplexes.

They just randomly increased my cell phone bill by 12% with absolutely no warning or reason. How the hell is that legal? What’s stopping them from randomly increasing it 100% sometimes and just stealing my money?

You can also make rose hip tea. One rose hip has more vitamin C than an orange.

I’m curious who America will bend over backwards for in a war between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The fuck would Israel do if the us said “ya we aren’t sending you bombs for the next little while”

Go ask Russia? What does Israel provide to the US that they have biden by the balls?

How is it not a legal obligation? Aren’t reserves technically federal land under the law? If my landlord didn’t provide me with drinkable water I’m pretty sure that would be a legal issue.

Nintendo has been on my list of most hated companies for awhile now. Just can’t stand how they operate and design their games.

Alrighty, I live in BC. Next pandemic I vote we close the road passes to Alberta to anyone not vaccinated.

Also the cost of starlink is well known, I looked into it and found it to not be affordable for our situation myself and decided against it. It’s a few hundred for the equipment itself and then I believe at the time it was around $140 a month.

You would have to guarantee those phones would eventually end up in the right person’s hands.

Otherwise if you sabotage 100 phones and only 30 go to your targets, even if you only detonate those 30 there are now 70 phones out there randomly floating around with enough explosives to kill some random person.

Regular mowers have a person which animal can recognize as a threat and run away. They may not bother running from an automated mower I imagine.

Universities make money hand over fist, not sure they need any more public funding. They tend to have more administrators than professors and teachers and it just seems super wasteful.

Technically most of the fires in Canada happen up in the north where it’s dense spruce and pine conifer stands which don’t turn into your typical “old growth” type forest that you picture from the movies. Stands that are hundreds of years old will burn almost just as easily as a decades old stand. Forest fires are a natural part of their life cycle.

The typical “old growth” forests that are fairly fire resistant are found in the coastal rainforests which don’t typically see much fires as it’s pretty rare in the damp and humid environment.

I view phoning someone like popping over to their house and knocking on the door to chat with no prior warning. No one likes that.

Where do votes from abroad get counted? Last state you lived in? State you were born in?

Solar fields and random trees growing out of the ground do not mix well…

After 30 or so roll calls and doing them every day I’m pretty sure you would remember that Greg goes by Molly. It’s not that hard to remember your students’ names.

Unless every kid in your class has a different name then maybe it might get difficult, but at that point the roll call paper would be pointless and they may as well just print it with the preferred names on it

They probably should just print it with the preferred names anyways.
