OK. They aren't products. Not really sure why you feel the need to announce this.

This article's sources are trash. It refers to a survey that you can't actually find and says a lot of generalities without bringing out companies, and seems to fail to support its own conclusions. I figure you googled titles without checking deeper. Goodbye.

There was a time not that long ago where that wasn't true, and independent companies are still pretty easy to buy from. For a LONG time, tobacco companies were pushing "smokeless" devices which still involved tobacco leaf.

For the record, I'm clean from nicotine for something like a year now. I just hate all the pseudoscientific bullshit pushed by the tobacco industry about vaporizers because they threatened their status quo.

Fucking good. Don't let them do what they did the US.

Everything the government does involving vapes is wrong. Regulating 50mg out of existence was stupid. Threatening a flavour ban for YEARS was insanely stupid. Running questionably scientific anti-vaping ads (disclaimer, that one might've been AB-specific, I don't remember) was also stupid, if the goal was ever harm reduction.

And their argument was always that kids are drawn to the colourful packaging. OK, why not make it like cannabis packaging? And then they never even did that, proving that it was all a ruse in the first place. Personally I think it was to aid in big tobacco getting them back on smokes instead.

Pipewire or the pulseaduo Bluetooth codec add-on. The pipewire implementation seems to be mimicking the old pulseaudio plugin.

I live in Alberta and the amount of people that are basically American cosplayers is insane. They want to be Texan badly. And they have no beliefs, so if they think selling oil to America makes them look or sound strong they will support it.

This is straight up word salad. Care to propose a policy?

Watch this investigation go quiet as they figure out some massive company's contamination caused this in the area.

You are mistaken or delusional. Things can always get worse.

$15,000 - $30,000 simply isn't affordable to me and tons of other people and I want the freedom to not to have to drive.

Well, I'm in favour of decommodification which would totally end that problem. The problem is that I'm not hearing that from any of our politicians...

Again, it's not about risking to get yourself killed. Kids cycle in the winter every day in countries with climates colder than ours. It's not about the weather, it's about the infrastructure in your and the way it prepares for the winter. The video I linked is much more graceful and by a guy who moved from Canada to the Netherlands specifically to raise his kids in a better environment where they can independently get around.

Besides decommodification, the other end goal here is enough affordable houses that it's no longer a lottery and simply open as an option to people in general.

Fuck yeah, I've been saying governments just need to ignore the minority of NIMBYs at this point to actually improve things

I live in Alberta, I know well what happens in the winter. Although a lot of the problems are about the way your city prepares for the weather than the weather itself. Both feel equally changeable sometimes though...

Why's that?

Ebikes are already insanely affordable and cars are here to save the car industry, most certainly not the environment. Any way forward will be about moving away from using cars for every single journey (especially the 40% done daily that are under 5km) and designing our streets to move people, rather than metal boxes.

Would much rather have this money invested in light rail for cities because that decreases road accidents year round.

Use ublock origin if you aren't already.
