It’s like going to city hall and complaining your tax dollars are being spent on guardrails along the road that you haven’t personally ever driven into.

I hope all the CEOs like this guy go hard all in on AI and prove to the world that it’s a sound business decision.

And if they’re wrong, may they never complain about the hourly rates of contractors they have to call in to dig them out of the hole their AI dug for them.

Tim Hortons is owned by Restaurant Brands International, which is itself majority owned by American private equity.

What makes it not American owned?

There’s only one and he’s booked months in advance.

‘Not everyone who’s walking along the paths wants to hear people yelling at them,’ says Jim Hanson

Cool, Jim. How does that solve the problem where bike bells trigger random reactions in pedestrians who start running in random directions like chickens with their heads cut off?

More than half the time, my bell causes absolute chaos while people are running around to prepare for my arrival.

If a cyclist bell doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone it’s a fucking liability. I’m better off not ringing a bell or yelling and just passing at a crawl when there’s room.

There are some public education options here that could get everyone on the same page. Until then, I’m gonna keep yelling.

So I can either have a serious, life altering injury, or gain some knowledge that shapes others’ perspectives?

I don’t have to agree with them, but I can understand them a little better and also be able to walk. I don’t think this one’s a tricky decision.

Covid era restaurant menus. They were nice and fringe before that.

We’re not sending our best.

Alberta, are you ok?

If they can cancel a green card at a moment’s notice I wouldn’t trust them not to cancel diplomatic immunity the same way.

He’ll tell his mom.

Maybe if the government had canceled their Disney Plus subscription they could have afforded a Canadian shipyard.

If this was AI I’d have expected HB IS NOT YOUR FIEND56

Google Cloud is having issues today and half the internet is broken. Could be related to that.

It’s the store brand version of normalize.

That falls under WRONG. Lack of consent is WRONG but there’s also nothing worse than documentation that is WRONG.

They’re both playing 4D chess, but I’m not convinced they aren’t just eating the pieces.

My link opened automatically in reader mode and it was a shit article - 3 paragraphs and clearly from the initial news release with zero details about anything.

I could see people reading that lack of any information and just downvote without putting in the effort to open it in a full browser.

I’ve read a lot of skepticism over the years about how carbon capture is a gimmick that doesn’t work but helps prop up the fossil fuel industry as a greenwashing scam.

And then I see something like this:

The company is so confident this will be successful that it’s already begun initial work on two commercial projects, one in Quebec and the other in Manitoba. That’s despite not yet knowing how they will be fully financed or which technology will be put to use.

“We don’t know if it works or how we’ll pay for it.”

City bylaw officials, however, say the regulations aren’t new and should have been enforced all along.

That’s totally reasonable. So now that the oversight has been corrected and the social impact identified, carve out a fucking exception and make it legal. The volunteers have been operating like that long enough that clearly their system is working without causing bigger problems.
