Most of it already does?

I swear, it's not actually a wankel engine! This bad bitch is all electric....like the windows, the central locking....uhhhh...the lights are definitely powered by electricity......

I mean....nooooo...but yes, but still also hard no

there is a vocal subset of the community that thinks referring people to just read technical manuals is fine

I mean, I agree, it's not ideal. Just to point out though.... Windows is also not really well documented, and if you have an issue that's a bit on the unusual side? You can find yourself skimming forums for days, or just saying fuck it and reinstalling. There's definitely more information out there on Windows troubleshooting, but it has market dominance and it would be insane if there wasn't loads out there.

If you come across people hating Ubuntu - including myself - it's usually for ideological reasons rather than usability ones.

Yeah, fuck canonical! Shame they make a fairly decent and stable distro......

As far as I am concerned, the man is literally a saint. Saint Luigi of Baltimore. And if they execute him, they will multiply his power a thousand fold.

I understand the sentiment, but I'll be shocked and not unpleasantly surprised if I travel to the future and find Luigism is the predominant religion and political system.

It's worth noting that cat owners(at least, never had anything buts cats) should avoid certain essential oils, As our furry pals' little organs aren't equipped to process them, and they can easily be deadly!

@pseudo@jlai.lu, saw you mention essential oils too, just a PSA.

Washing Soda

No. Just no. Sodium carbonate, you americans!

Washing soda is sodium carbonate, baking soda is sodium bicarbonate

So exactly what they said?

Good summary of the issue. Would have been nice to have touched on the issue of rightwing American ownership of a vast swath of Canadian newspapers. Postmedia owns ~100 publications and websites. They're majority owned by Chatham Asset Management, which is closely tied with the GOP.

It's a decent write up. One point of contention though. The F35 is made by Lockheed Martin, not Boeing. If they were made by modern day Boeing, they would be even less viable for use in any air force than the F35 currently is.

Fuckin rights bud, absolutely agreed.

Fair enough, doesn't change what I said. And the threat is nearly as damaging as it would be for her to attempt it.

Fair point. One thing that gives me hope is that the two startups I mentioned don't seem to have direct connections with battery manufacturers or retailers.
The main issue with specifically plastic recycling is that it was brought into existence by the very companies pumping out millions of tonnes of plastic as an effort to put the guilt for the pollution on the consumer. And was started without an actually viable way of recycling said plastic.
Hopefully these efforts with batteries will get funding, and prove to be both cost effective and popular.

Smith's cognitive dissonance is astounding.

We want demand (or else we join the US and try to drag the rest of you with us) unfettered rights to send pipelines anywhere we want, and no limits on how much emissions we create or accountability for environmental damage done!

But then also:

It's the Fed's LiBtArDs mismanagement of national parks in our province that burnt to the fucking ground and destroyed half of the town Jasper! Nothing at all to do with our and others' continued essentially unfettered emissions and environmental damage that we're not being held accountable for!

One Canadian startup is working on resource recovery and recycling.

Another is repurposing EoL EV batteries for residential and business BESS, Battery Energy Storage Systems. This link is an interview, so info is there, but more of a long read.

Once an EV battery is no longer optimal for use in a vehicle, it doesn't become useless. Much like "disposable" vapes, the batteries are still very much useful. If not for repurposing, then for resource recovery.
Is there a long way, and a lot of funding needed, for reuse/recycling of Lithium batteries? Fuckin rights. This isn't just an EV issue though. Our modern life is largely powered by Lithium batteries, and we need to step up our game, globally, with reuse and recycling.

Also having your victim host the costs is an added benefit

FN culture is often xenophobic, undemocratic, and unaccepting of 'colonials'

I am FN...and again. Fuckin what?

(for good reason in some cases)

You know when the last residential school closed?
1996
Try being part of a group that has been culturally suppressed for hundreds of years, the subject of a genocide, and then say "in some cases".

these aren't, historically, Canadian values.

You need to read up on Canadian history. Even recent history shows that's not entirely true.

Pull your head out your ass bud. I think you're getting out what you put in.
