  • Good luck, Canada not only tolerates but fosters the idea that vaccines make you sick and electric cars are bad for the environment. Our education system has been gutted for so long it will take decades before a unified theory of health can be sold to Canadians without ignorant protesting.

  • If you cut a lock and someone gets hurt or killed there is jail time and employers are aware of this. The bigger issue is that so many employees are either not trained or just do not lock out when they should. My personal lock is so worn that it looks like beach glass but the majority I see "in use" are basically new in box condition.

  • Give it another year and our many layers of government will be banning busses because they "cause traffic" and stopping commuter trains because they interfere with shipping.

  • I think about it a lot while staring down into 'The Pit' on the production floor.

  • I work at one of those furnaces, if you fall in molten metal it will not be fast. You are EXTREMELY buoyant in liquid rock/metal.

  • Ah, I misunderstood your meaning.

    Personally I'm not a cash guy, I used a debit card for 99% of transactions. If the machine looks sketchy I'll use a credit card as there is better financial protection at the cost of privacy. But for transient, time sensitive, interactions, like a park I only visit once a year or a fast food place that I may never come back to, I want them to take cash. If there is a problem with their electronic payment system (their site is broken, their cloud provider is broken, their cloud provider's ISP is down, ...all the way to local network trouble) now I am being denied access to physical thing that does not physically rely on electronic infrastructure.

    My angry example above of needing to make an account to visit a park actually happened to me this week for an Ontario Provincial Park. It was extremely frustrating because there were no employees present to take payment that day, only a large sign with a QR code instructing everyone to pay online. Now every person in the line of cars a head of me had to scan the code, make an account, fill in their info, etc. Had there been a machine present to take cash (even if it was exact change only), most people could have scraped the coins out of their cup holder in half the time it took to interact with their phone.

  • But cash exists right now. There is no reason to drop support for it.

  • When I decide to visit a park and arrive to find that I can't pay cash, it's a problem. Visiting a park is a transient event, there does not need to be ANY permanent relation between myself and the park operator. There is no reason to require trusting some random site with payment details, generating another set of account credentials, and installing some mystery app that wants way too many permissions just to visit a park.

  • You are free to use another cell provider and vote for which ever party you think is not a corporate shill 🙃

  • Holy fuck the specter of nuclear waste. It takes 20 FUCKING MILLION kg of coal to equal the energy available in 1kg of uranium (that's like a baseball sized lump). Build the site and store it, if for some reason it turns out to be a sub-optimal in the future, there won't be much of it to move.

  • The CO2 day balloons are gonna suck. They just lay there on the ground.

  • you know, you really are a moron

    usually puts a damper on all future interactions with those kind of people.

  • Not to defend TD in any way, but those staff members know that reporting the crime will get them at best nothing and at worst fired. Taking the bribe gets them 28500 Tim Hortons coffees.

  • I'm surprised he isn't sending out Tim Hortons gift cards at this point.

  • Canada learns about clickbait. Only 20 years behind this time!
