I mean, "sent to his phone at 1:14am" does not mean they actually saw and read the alert at 1:14am.

It's 1:14am. Don't you think he could have been asleep or something?

Not much overall I would guess. Most people going 60-70 in a 50 zone usually just end up getting to the next red light faster, wasting their gas and wearing down their brakes faster.

Corner gas, Schitt's Creek, also quite good Canadian tv

No, it's a "humanitarian" city, so that probably means that they will do a "precision" airstrike on it at some point. It's not a concentration camp, it's a concentrated target.

I had to drive a new Toyota Tacoma for a biology job. I needed to drive it in "offroad" conditions, which means there was grass over 12" in height (farm field).

It would automatically slam on the brakes and scare the shit out of me every time I tried to reverse and it thought the grass was something I was going to hit.

Drove me absolutely insane.

He takes us to a creek downhill from a new construction site for a data centre being built by US firm Quality Technology Services (QTS).

George Dietz, a local volunteer, scoops up a sample of the water into a clear plastic bag. It's cloudy and brown.

Well, maybe they didn't have proper sediment control but a creek is a lot different than well water. Most people don't drink out of creeks, sediment control is done more for the purpose of protecting fish habitat.

Hauls buckets of water to flush her toilet

What? You're concern is sediment in your well water and then go haul dirty brown sediment filled water from the creek to flush your toilet instead?

Buy a sediment filter for your well water. Even people not beside giant data centres should have one just because it keeps the system functional and running better. It is practically a requirement to have one.

And honestly, the vehicle engineers are partly to blame for this in my opinion. Are you telling me there are no sensors in the car to let you know if there is a person in the seat so that their stupid little seatbelt not fasten chimes can ring? If they can tell that there's a person inside, or that there is still a seatbelt buckled, DON'T TURN THE AC OFF AUTOMATICALLY

I do not condon leaving children alone in a vehicle for ANY amount of time...

But I also absolutely despise vehicle manufacturers thinking their unnecessary "features" are in any way needed at all, especially in a form which cannot be disabled or needs to be disabled after each time the vehicle turns off and then on.

Fucking hate vehicle manufacturer engineers. Probably one of the least needed jobs out there.

VEHICLES ALREADY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED, STOP ADDING SHIT EVERY YEAR JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ADDING SHIT.

I wonder if you could make a 1m thick foundation of this stuff beneath each house which works as a sort of battery for the house in case power goes out.

I think I would much rather watch a stardew Valley movie than a Minecraft movie

Our neighbours had to get a plumber in to clear their pipes and septic tank because they would poor grease and fat down the drains all the time and ate a lot of meat.

They were in their 60s

Eh personally I sort of support this. It's literally only 50m.

It's exactly what we needed during COVID with the idiots blocking access to hospitals.

Or people harassing clinics and women over abortions.

presumably, they get a salary for the work of doing the interviews

presumably they get a salary and the 300 is extra just for suggesting it.

By then a Democrat will be president and it will be all their fault

Probably not, but one can hope

Yeah, but I think I'll take 60 years of eating really tasty meats and foods at the risk of slightly increasing my chance of getting cancer and dying at like 65 instead of 85.

I can't get over just how short sighted MAGA is... They give the president this power like it will never be used against them by the next Democrat president.

I had the same experience but with weed. I was super disappointed.

Try not to leave even footprints please. People go trailblazing way too often when there's perfectly good trails already.
