I realize everything you say is correct, but framing is everything. So rather than saying he refuses to leave, we should say he’s couch surfing at his bitch Andy’s place, but Andy doesn’t want to be there with him so he’s staying at his other place. Which is also completely correct.

I find it funny how someone who thinks the Liberals would think the Conservatives would make it better. Almost as funny as the idea it only took 10 years for the housing market to get to this state.

Hey, that’s a brain worm that might have some upsides. The Bene Gesserit didn’t need to breed the Kwisatz Haderach, they could have just infected the right candidate with toxoplasmosis. Fear is the mind killer, but toxoplasmosis is (maybe) the fear killer.

Travel to the US has dramatically decreased, to the point where WestJet is canceling routes. I also heard somewhere of some snowbirds getting rid of their winter homes. There was one person I know who was in the medical field that sold ther Florida property and bought in Vancouver not long after the COVID pandemic began.

Just because not everyone is doing it doesn’t mean no one is doing it, or whether the impact will be significant.

Logically, if tobacco and alcohol are legal, there’s no health-related reason for marijuana to be illegal. Both alcohol and weed impair your judgement, and both smoking tobacco and smoking weed are harmful to your lungs. Everything else about alcohol or tobacco vs weed is worse. And giving criminals easy ways to make money is a bad idea.

So, as another response said, legalize it, regulate it, tax it.

Realistically, we have enough food to feed everyone without doing that, but I get what you’re saying.

As commented elsewhere in the post.

“These yoots…”

GM is also used in GURPS, but the 5 guys here who have used it already know that.

And if they want someone to join them, they can always DM me.

I wonder why? The funding increased somewhat in the last decade, which probably had a handy in the new milestones that were achieved, but now we have a state of global uncertainty that is going to impact a lot of major research funding for the next 4 years or so, so I don’t expect major changes in the next 10 years.

And so the cycle continues.

They’re wrong, but it happens.

Why not just add a door on the Canadian side?

I’m not sure why you would buy an open-source company/product, particularly a GPLv3 one, if you didn’t understand or agree with the premise. It’s probably the stupidest decision he made. I’m not saying I agree with his other decisions, but most of them made some kind of business sense. With this one, he would have saved a lot of time and effort and received the same value if he’d just spun OO.o off ASAP. The linked timeline kind of says it all.

You’re talking the CEO of a company who sued Google on the premise that header files, a descriptor file for what commands can be used and what parameters they took, should be copyrighted? The CEO who poisoned the OpenOffice community so thoroughly that the fork, LibreOffice, was founded by the leaders of OpenOffice and became the de facto standard instead of the original, and it happened overnight? That guy?

It still doesn’t answer the question of who is allowed to use certain bathrooms.

Which isn’t a bad philosophy if the rewards match. If they don’t, why would you do more than the minimum?

I absolutely agree, which is why I gave an example of a factor that is almost entirely ignored in those calculations.

That is needlessly vague. I not only think protests should occur at some schools, notably universities, I think it should be encouraged. I don’t believe an institution occupied primarily by adults who are mostly healthy and mobile should be considered vulnerable. (No mention about whether schools included universities was in the article, but those are the only schools with Pro-Palestine protests that I heard about.) I also question whether certain streets should be precluded from protest routes, as opposed to stationary picketing, due to certain institutions being there, e.g., I’m against protests operating in front of abortion clinics for hours, but I don’t think protests about non-abortion issues should be prevented from having a march on a route that includes an abortion clinic or hospital.

Oh, I agree. “Let’s factor in this one externality on the more responsible choice while we ignore all the externalities on the alternatives.”

Road wear is a 4th power formula to weight. So for a car that weighs 1.25 times the average, it would do 2.44 times the damage. These formulas may be fair. They would be vastly different if you included the damage from burning fuel in populated areas, though.
