Dangerously ignorant. Both to themselves and the world around them.

The modern internet is very sterile, sanitised, and boring. It is a hollow and empty shell of what it once was.

Just as the Liberals have moved to the right with Carney, the Conservative party has moved further towards the hard-right.

Look south to the US for a taste of what sort of people I’m talking about. They care about nothing but hatred, suffering, conspiracies, and oppression.

A lot of moderate conservatives are happy with Carney though. They’ve been wanting someone like him for years.

Hello!

Literally nobody will obey this.

I’m not in Vancouver itself, but a major road near me had its speed limit dropped to accommodate mixed-use expansions. Not a single driver actually does the new speed limit. They all speed 20-30kph over the limit and they will tailgate you or highbeam flash if you do the posted limit.

Maybe some day in the distant future our policy-makers will understand that updating a few signs doesn’t make a damn difference. You need physical speed reduction methods such as speedbumps, roundabouts, raised crosswalks, etc.

This game is screwed, calling it now.

And so they should. The US is a fascist state that has repeatedly threatened to invade Canada.

Ebikes are just bicycles with motors. They have all the benefits of bicycles but are more accessible to more people, particularly those in hilly locations and those with disabilities.

Most ebikes are speed-limited and are built using standardised bicycle components. The kind you see ripping down sidewalks at 60km/h are often highly illegal in many places and, depending on local laws, might not even be classified as ebikes and may require a licence.

I’ve read so many times that the cable is designed to wear out faster than the jack, and yet I’ve had numerous devices have their USB-C jacks fail.

I still have all of my USB-C cables, even the one that came with my very first USB-C phone. All of them still work and fit fine.

That fine is so small that it’s not even a slap on the wrist. It’s not even a rounding error. It’s like a grain of sand at the bottom of the ocean. It probably cost more in worker time just to issue the fine.

Someone’s $50,000+ car malfunctioning and killing them isn’t natural selection. That’s not what that term means.

If we lived in any sort of reasonable or responsible world then these cars would be banned from public roads all over the globe.

Facebook is just socially accepted malware.

Trade negotiations with Trump are pointless anyway. It was himself that ripped up his own trade agreement and pissed all over Canada.

Say it with me now:

LLMs are not artificial intelligence.

Seeing as you don’t live here in BC and apparently didn’t read the article, I don’t think you understand just how bad this heat dome event was.

BC is on Canada’s pacific coast and its largest urban centre is within a coastal temperate rainforest. Our usual summer temperatures range from 25-32c ish, sometimes a bit higher. During the heat dome of 2021, it was 40-45c+ within the city. The town of Lytton, northeast of Vancouver, blew past temperature records with a recorded temp of 50c. For a brief period of time, a little town in Canada had one of the highest temperatures on Earth before it was essentially destroyed by forest fires that consumed much of the province and blanketed everyone else with smoke.

Over 600 people died during this heat event with more being attributed to it each year as investigations conclude.

Looking forward to the headlines: “Tesla Robotaxi passengers need medical attention after Robotaxi hits speed bump at 70mph”

Waiting for the first country that has the balls to issue a full nation-wide travel advisory against the US.

Tesla’s self-driving is pretty shite but they seem to have a particular problem with railway crossings, as also pointed out in the article. Of all of the obstacles for the self-driving system to fail to detect, the several thousand tons of moving steel is probably one of the worst outcomes.

To secure “relief” ie: To return to the previous trade agreement that Trump himself signed off on.

To desire nothing but a return what-once-was is incredibly shortsighted. This isn’t about getting relief from tariffs is that those tariffs should never have happened in the first place. The US violated our trade agreement and, to this day, still changes its mind on what it wants almost daily. They have also made continuous threats towards our sovereignty with threats of invasion and war as well as flagrant disrespect towards our elected leader(s) and citizens.

The Canada-US relationship is over. It’s done. Trying to make more deals with them is a foolish waste of time at best and a threat to our national security at worst.
