Are you using musicbrainz picard to tag your collection, or something more manual?

But how else will I be able to market and sell my cancer treatments/drugs? /s

I find nothing wrong with this movement, but at the same time I almost feel like this movement is exactly what "government's" may want. Less educated individuals having children means more uneducated voters in the long run.

Kind of like that scene in Idiocracy (2006).

Just ran this on my entire music library of 73000+ songs. Worked like a charm.

People quickly forgot they went through this.

This right here, "the second lane was always blocked with parked cars." Pretty much sums up most of Toronto's city streets. The second lane (or far right lane) is usually unusable because of parked or stopped cars.

And as soon as a side walk gets widened or a bike lane goes in to use the space more efficiently motorists looses their shit.

Bloor has really become more enjoyable as a street, and easier to traverse by car, bike and on foot.

Are you the Transportation Minister for Brampton. /s

She should have went to Arby's.

Arby's | We Have The Meats

Maybe just Ontario? Though there does seem to be a common recurring theme in Canada these last few decades where its easier to not take action and say we tried everything, rather then taking action and solve problems.

Its always easier to take no action and not upset one group or another, zero-sum game, as opposed to take action and have a small group upset at the end result.

In both cases the Canadian in charge of the action, or inaction, says “Sorry, eh”.

This whole removal of bike lanes on Toronto's roadways that are classified as streets is so backwards.

Streets are for the people that live on them. Streets are a destination points.Roads are designed to get you from point a to point b. Roads are not a destination and don't care about the community they cut through.

We are removing key infrastructure in our cities that directly supports the residents living within these areas, and replacing it to serve suburban commuters that live outside the city.

We need to make city centres more enjoyable and walkable. We need to make city centres more accessible to families. Having people move out of the city and commute into it everyday is the opposite of this. We need more choice in housing sizes and units layouts, we need more schools that are not at capacity.

There needs to be a greater push in how North America classifies its roadways. There are key differences between streets, roads, high-speed roads, highways, and interstates. All these classifications impact how these roadways serve the people around them, and how people use them. For example you would not put a sidewalk next to a highway car lane.

Instead these last few decades its been either "strode's" or highway. In some cases even strode's acting as highways as well.

Found the DHD, covered by some shrubs.

Mad Men the picnic scene.

Littering wasn't a concern back then. When Don casually tossed the can aside, I was astonished and confused. Then to make matters worse, Betty shakes off the rubbish from the picnic blanket onto the ground before heading to the car. Not a care in the world at all.

Try to do the same today and a park would be filled with plastic wrappers in a few days.

Something similar was done in Japan for walking and texting (or looking at your phone screen). Makes sense the same would translate to all modes of transportation including cars.

Though, jail time may be a little harse for communicating with people over a phone.

That's the thing, when people hear the term micro they still (for some reason) assume its something they can see with their naked eyes. Kind of like those plastic pellets put into handsoaps a while back that are now band.

In reality microplastics are everywhere there is plastic, and they are released all the time at a microscopic level. Meaning you actually need a microscope to see them. Its like a fine dust.

Now think of all the plastic items you use and come in contact with.

Toothbrushes for example, each time you brush your teeth the brisels break down at a microscopic level and are released. The plastic utensils you use either in the kitchen on your pans, or the single use ones for food, they all slowly release plastics. That plastic cutting board, or boiling water in a plastic kettle, yup they all also release plastic.

Pretty much everything breaks down at a microscopic level, that is how knives become dull, or how items show wear and tear over time.

This just in, water is wet!

Spooky action at a distance.

Politicians take interest.

Got to love that double D

Downdate - The practice of dating someone that is a number lower then you. Carly is a 10 dating a 7. Carly is downdating.

And on 1 transistor there are 3 pins. When you put 1 and 3 together you get 13. Coincidence?! I think not!
