I didn’t pretend marriage is universally innocent. I said it’s a tradition just like hanging colourful lights on a tree within a home in December, and that it’s just as aggressive to state everyone be rid of their decorations as that the concept of marriage should be abolished.
I didn’t say I thought you were wrong - I said the initial comment read a bit hot off the stove.
With any luck this will lead to small cars with small price tags being made available in Canada.
There are less hyperbolic ways to say marriage shouldn’t carry various legal benefits over civil unions just because it’s more or less become a tradition.
This reads like someone showing up for Christmas dinner with the family and tearing down the decorations because they don’t like how commercialized the holiday has become.
The chocolate is melted and poured in the French region of Europe.
Why do you think baskets should be required? To prevent theft? This has been implemented for a decade now, evidently thievery isn’t much of a concern.
There are no doubt multiple factors at play, but when things are easy and quality of life is decent, the honour system works.
That could work also, but not all shops have carts, and people don’t always need a basket. It’s common enough to scan things and pop them directly into a bag you brought, skipping the need for a basket altogether.
It was more accurately described as computer vision at the time, but your memory is right. They wanted to get to 5% of sales being human reviewed, but it was more like 70%.
What’s funny about Amazon’s efforts for Just Walk Out is that checkout free shopping already existed. Simply by letting customers carry a handheld scanner and payment terminal around the store with them.
Oh to live in the parallel universe where those local and state governments tell them to pack up their data centre and shove off once their carnival leases expire. The sonic schadenfreude would be felt around the globe.
Turbine blades last twenty to thirty years. What short lifespan are referring to?
Funny how something not being ‘profitable’ for six weeks becomes newsworthy once it returns to the black.
These coal plants are in their last few years of operation as a stopgap until enough renewable infrastructure is built to replace them. I prefer these things to be used for a bit longer than have more methane power plants constructed. Evidently Germany feels the same given the reduction of 20GW to 10GW capacity over the next six years.
To chime in from the Great White North, I agree with much of what you’ve written, though I haven’t spoken to anyone that thinks Canada has moved too slow.
What’s been done so far has happened as efficiently as government workings can be done, but when I go to a restaurant I don’t skip the entree if the waitstaff brings out the appetizer with haste.
For a question as broad as ‘what is this country doing about that other country’, it might be a good idea to drop the editorial names and instead include position descriptors. Canadian politicians don’t have the same name recognition as American counterparts.
Mark Carney is Canada’s Prime Minister, who won the position over Pierre Poilievre.
Must be some Big Cane executives.
I’ve done some time in waste handling, and about a decade ago I had the opportunity to work with a mattress recycling outfit. They had set up a disassembly line that would separate the various materials within a mattress, it was very interesting to see.
My memory is failing me now, but they were sending about half the material to some other outfit that used in it production of some kind. So at least some recycling was happening through them.
The mattress industry is wild even without managing the product’s end of life. So many of the same mattress get wrapped with slightly different fabric and stitch work and sold under a different name and whatnot. Personally when mine meets its end I’m going to try a tatami instead.
No please, I have already had enough irritating news this year. I wish to live in the funnier version I created where Mr Ping stays within earshot of this trader guy and serves up some delicious rolls on request.
Without being able to read that article, I choose to interpret that quote as if a renown personal chef was on offer for a number of years to provide world class sushi rolls whenever the mood strikes.
Oh I hadn’t meant an actual stadium, moreso stadium-level money for public works That said, there are stadiums that are defacto multipurpose community centres. Those aren’t half bad.
Your post has reminded me of this video that calculates how many mattresses you might own if every time a mattress company tried to get you to buy mattress, you did.
It goes rather off the rails once the problem of where to put them becomes a concern. It’s worth a good laugh.
It surprises me from time to time just how cheap some of these politicians sell out for. If I could get together with my neighbours all contributing $50 and buy a legislator or two, we could probably get funds for a stadium.
Okay, you right, I wrong, Merry Christmas.
