I don’t see why there was ever a separation to begin with. It’s amazing have coffee shops and sandwich shops / corner stores in residential areas.

I can see not wanting a McDonald’s beside you, but a little local coffee shop would be great

If a company isn’t going to make a profit selling to America, they aren’t going to sell it.

So the item the previously listed for $100 and made a $10 profit on, will now cost $115 for that same $10 profit. They won’t all of a sudden drop the price by $15 to keep the sale price at $100 and then take a $5 loss on each sale, they will simply stop selling the item or Americans will need to pay $115 for the item and the government gets $15 and the company still gets $10, but it’s still the Americans paying that $15 to the government, unless there is already a locally made item which sells for $105 then Americans will buy that instead and the European company can’t compete anymore and will stop selling their product and Americans have less choice in the stores.

Yeah gymnastics and geology are completely different things

Back in 2000 I would call a movie from 1975 ancient.

Now a movie from 2000 is like eh it’s old but not thaaaat old

What we really need is to get rid of spines and thorns in blackberry bushes.

I have to carpool with my boss on occassion who thinks he is one of the best drivers on the road while everyone else is shit and I am terrified everytime he drives anywhere. It’s insane how unpredictable he is on the road. He even got pulled over going 115 in a construction zone (60 limit) and the cop SHOULD have had his vehicle impounded but decided to give him a warning and not even the double fine for construction zone, just a regular speeding ticket. If only that cop knew how many tickets he gets every year. Warnings and being nice does not teach him anything.

So first Trump orders an airstrike of Iran, and now tries to get Ukraine to attack Moscow.

Where are the people who claimed Trump was going to end all wars and the Democrats were war hungry?

I had a Samsung before I got my first OP and absolutely hated it. Ended up giving it away to a coworker who broke their phone.

Ever since then I’ve had the OP5, OP9, & OP13 now. First two lasted 4 years each and still worked decent at the end. Hoping this one will do the same and then I’ll get the OP17

Pretty much nothing except abortion and weed and gay marriage. I can’t trust that the conservatives would leave any of that alone.

The boss should just become the landlord, then there wouldn’t be any double dipping from the government collecting income taxes paid to the employee and then income taxes paid to the landlord with the remaining already taxed money.

Provide the housing in exchange for work and there’s no income to tax!

Not much overall I would guess. Most people going 60-70 in a 50 zone usually just end up getting to the next red light faster, wasting their gas and wearing down their brakes faster.

South Africa has ~64 million people

Which is less than… Britain (~69 million)

Which is less area on the displayed map than the red section.

I can’t say I’m convinced? There are thousands of reasons why the poles could shift. But freshwater makes up such a small fraction of a tiny percentage of the mass on earth that I can’t see it have that large of an effect, especially when only a fraction of a small percentage of the freshwater is being held by dams.

Eh personally I sort of support this. It’s literally only 50m.

It’s exactly what we needed during COVID with the idiots blocking access to hospitals.

Or people harassing clinics and women over abortions.

You definitely could, especially with infinite resources, but prioritization also saves money.

If you had a core train that ran all the way from hope to Whistler we probably wouldn’t be needing to spend all this money expanding the highway or even have HOV lanes so it quite possibly could be one or the other, because once the money is spent on HOV lanes people may say a train is too expensive we have no money left.

Need to tackle problems in a specific order, transit is the largest one rather than HOV lanes.

I don’t understand why we can’t have trains ):

Lovely, I can’t afford a place to live in Surrey where I work and the bus would take me 2.5 hours so fuck me I guess. Should just quit my job and go one welfare I suppose.

I’m not really sure if motorcycles help much with congestion, unless they are travelling in groups and can bunch together.

If I see a motorcycle instill give them plenty of space, as I would a regular car.

Personally I want to see a study done to actually see how effective these HOV lanes are.

When I commute each day, it seems like 90% of the vehicles in there are cheaters and i regret that I’m not the type of person to cheat like that.

Either enforce the rules , or don’t bother with HOV lanes
