It is very cool. Just unlocked trains!

Lol weather vs climate. The meteorologist in the article explains quite a bit about it if you are actually curious.

I clicked an Asus marketing email today, they have some decent looking stuff on sale this week. ($850 for a 2021 model that seems to meet your criteria).

Also Costco has an HP gaming laptop on sale for $1400–>$1200.

My old laptop is getting slower and slower and it doesn’t have a discreet GPU, so I’m getting more and more tempted all the time.

I really really really wanted Trudeau to follow though with election reform and get rid of first past the post/strategic voting and make other parties viable.

Oof no injuries so far.

People should realize they are killing a bear if they feed it (accidentally or not).

Relocating is pretty much guaranteed to be relocated into someone else’s territory and if humans get hurt the bear just gets put down.

This guy Chinas

I’ve heard

Lemme guess, from an astrological farmer?

Yeah that stood out to me too, I’ve heard of these other dumb things.

Lol relevant Unabomber quotes. Good ol’ Lemmy

Don’t know who would downvote you for this, it’s important context.

Quietly letting it drop after the election?

Saying it’s still on the table so they can grab more headlines next election?

I hope common sense prevails.

Another commenter claims all you need is one more valve. I suspect the design changes are slightly more involved than that, but in principle it’s certainly doable.

Smith noted her government had signed an agreement with Ottawa worth $24 billion over 10 years to uphold the principles of the Canada Health Act. “That means that you cannot charge to access insured services. If that’s what [Marda Loop is] doing, they will be shut down, they will be fined, [or] we will withhold payments to them. So it won’t be allowed to happen,” Smith said.

Weird. This seems like a normal thing for a normal premier to say. Not what I expected from her when this story broke.

> the few times a year it gets that bad

Technically, but they’re only one way.

The ones sold as “heat pumps” can operate both directions-- cool the outside world/heat your home in winter.

Mmm hot dogs. Pink ooze mmm.

Well it’s an interesting argument. I’d say there’s got to be a line somewhere and it’s somewhat subjective where you put it.

For instance, do bacteria have a right to own themselves, or can we harness them to ferment milk and make yogurt?

Apes or dolphins are pretty clearly too intelligent, most people wouldn’t want them on ranches.

Cattle are somewhere in the middle, I think you’ll find people’s opinions are likewise split down the middle

Yeah Narnia was straight up unmistakable Christian allegory. I believe J.R.R. (C.S.'s drinking buddy) always insisted that LOTR was not meant to be taken in that way, or like when people hypothesized that Sauron was Hitler and so on.

could have been commissioned for a 2015 distracted driving commercial called Don’t Drive and Donair but was never used

Makes more sense to me. I agree, the antacid thing raises more questions than it answers.

Lol yeah the high albedo of grazing sheep has been tragically understudied until now.

They’re soooo floofy.
