It's in the linked source.

No, it is literally just comparing similarly sized jurisdictions.

He makes the case that we should allow high density towers because people want to live in high density areas near transit and jobs.

But that seems like a rather flawed argument, given that we do not have affordable low density areas near transit for them to choose.

People don't actually want that level of density, they mostly just want to live near transit and near to their jobs timewise.

If we built out reliable, two way, regional trains to other small cities, and built LRT and subway networks in them now, at their current sizes, then we would be able to see whether people actually want to live in high density towers, or whether they would choose lower density, still transit connected, options.

The idea that we don't have the resources to do that is absurd. We 100% easily do given that we did it before, we just need to tax the wealthy.

Tearing down dense townhouses and multiplexes to build towers is destroying optimal housing to race for the bottom. People simplifying the housing issue down to 'all nimbyism is bad and must inherently be equally bad' is absurd and just let's corporate developers build dystopias.

Whenever you buy Canadian made products, you're giving yourself a long term discount you don't see at the register.

It means that many more fellow residents will have a job and aren't taking EI and government services, and are instead raising the overall tax base, making the taxes you pay go even further.

If you're basing that on Subnautica Below Zero, it's worth noting that basically the whole creative team is different, not just the composer:

To be fair, they didn't gut the original creative team.

Max McGuire was CTO and a programmer on the original game, Ted Gill was President and a Producer on Below Zero.

Charlie Cleveland was current CEO, and the director and lead designer of the original game, so was the head of the origin creative team, and that does seem like a big loss, but no one else from the art, writing, or design teams seem to be leaving, so it's not really a 'gutting' of the original creative team.

My guess (especially given how buggy Subnautica was), is that they were missing their delivery milestones so the publisher wanted to replace the organization heads and move at least Charlie Cleveland back down to a creative role, but they refused and left together.

If this hasn't remotely been your experience, how do you know rainbow flicking fixes it?

It doesn't fix it, it's how you avoid letting get that close to you.

The game is widely known to have multiple bugs affecting gameplay, from lags and desync issues, to crashes and even teams changing colour mid-match. In this case, and this is the second time I've seen it, the ball glitched into the ground after randomly bouncing around the pitch following a shot against the post befote finally getting stuck. It couldn't be interacted with at all.

Well if this is a bug, you should probably make that clearer, because again, have not encountered a single bug.

This has not remotely been my experience. It's also incredibly easy to avoid getting into this situation by rainbow flipping.

F tier click bait. Literally nothing informative was said in here.

Costco is publicly traded and has a maximum markup of 14% for selling you physical retail goods. Apple tries to charge developers 30% for hosting a bunch of exes in cloud storage.

Apple is a piece of shit company run by piece of shit people. They have for their entire history disregarded environmentalism or fair pricing, and have continuously built intentional incompatibilities to try and gouge consumers out of more money.

They still owe society at large hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in wasted time and costs for their decision to reverse headphone jack polarity for no reason 20 years ago when they introduce the iPod. Let alone every other walled garden bullshit move and 30% app store mafia fee they've charged in the two decades since.

 

Business owners on Bathurst are running an astroturf campaign using AI generated videos of fake people to try and stop on-street parking being turned into dedicated transit lanes.

They claim they just want their voices heard, when in reality they're upset that others' collective voices are louder than theirs. They also make nonsense statements like it shouldn't be trade-off, when it inherently is since there is limited street space on Bathurst.

The owners of Summerhill Market seem affiliated with the group but are trying to pretend they're not, and the owner of Minerva Cannabis appears to be one of the leaders of the group, and decision makers behind the AI videos.

Don't buy those crappy plastic bag-clips to hold chip bags, flour bags, etc closed. They're unsatisfying, they wear out and bend, and they just add more plastic pollution to the world.

Instead buy more binder clips. They're made from spring steel, they're strong as hell, they almost never wear out, they can be used to close bags, as small clamps, as hangers for almost anything in a pinch, and they're amazing for building pillow / blanket forts.

I have some from my grandma that she bought 30 years ago and they work just as well as the ones I bought a year ago. The only risk with them ever is rust, and you can just scrub that off with vinegar, add a brush of paint and it's fixed.

Truly some of my favourite robust little items.

 

I can't be the only reddit migrant who often instinctually goes to a given community by typing /r/community, only to be 404d. If the /r/ path isn't being used for anything else, is it possible to have it dynamically redirect to /c/ instead?

 

The federal New Democrats backed Conservative demands Wednesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau take part in a televised "emergency meeting" on carbon pricing with Canada's premiers.

The federal carbon price is not the "be-all, end-all" of climate policy, and New Democrats are open to alternative plans presented by premiers, NDP environment critic Laurel Collins said Wednesday.
