We probably could, but I think it would be a lot of effort for a relatively small gain. If you're concerned about saturated fat intake, the most effective thing to do would be to cut back on meat and dairy products, since those are much more potent sources.

I'm no dietician, but I can't imagine cooking oil makes up a significant portion of saturated fat intake for most people, when you consider the popularity of dairy in all its forms in western cuisine.

Sucks that we live in the one timeline where AI is guaranteed to become an agent of coercion and exploitation, and do a better job than any human at optimizing the system of inequality.

I'm glad they're doing this now, but it really should've been done 5 years ago. Ideally, it should've been done even before that.

The whole point of the FAA is to make the industry operate in such a way that failures like these are ruled out preemptively. The nature of aviation doesn't really allow for things to fail in a safe way.

I mean, technically Linux is still at 2.6, they've just been making up version numbers for the last 20 years or so.

EPS is civic jurisdiction, public health is supposedly provincial jurisdiction. Based on every action they've ever taken, it's fair to say the Alberta government doesn't care whatsoever about public health, and they seem especially contemptuous towards the city of edmonton.

Sending the police is absolutely not the right way to deal with this, I'm not trying to defend that. The key problem is that the city simply doesn't have the resources to pick up the slack left by the province refusing to do their damned jobs, even though they are the ones being put under enormous pressure by business owners & suburbanites to do something.

They burn it for energy in place of burning coal

Trump's writing style is inching dangerously close to Time Cube territory...

That's a reasonable take, and I hope with all my heart it turns out that way. At the same time, I think it would be a mistake to underestimate the effectiveness of the "axe the tax" rhetoric. People are willing to overlook a lot of dubious political behaviour if they think it will make a them a couple of bucks.

Time to pull out that electoral reform idea you've had in your back pocket for the last 8 years.

Seriously, if there was ever a time for something like that, it's now. The CPC seems poised to take a landslide victory in the next election. We might be able to avoid that looming disaster by making a vote against Trudeau not equate to a vote for polievre.

Or, we could simply stop extracting the massive amount of carbon that's already nicely sequestered in Alberta in the form of bitumen.

“So what we would do is we would capture the CO2, inject nitrogen, transport it as ammonia and send it to Japan"

I've been struggling to find more details on the specific process she's talking about. As far as I'm aware, you can't sequester carbon dioxide in the form of ammonia, since ammonia doesn't contain carbon or oxygen. So that must mean they use pre-existing ammonia (produced via natural gas) to transport the CO₂ underground. But that can be done in a closed loop, so shipping it to Japan seems like an entirely separate process, that uses a bunch of energy in both ammonia production and shipping, so that Japan can add more NO_x gases to the atmosphere.

Make it make sense.

Since we're on the topic, does anyone know if there's a Fargo community in existence somewhere on Lemmy?

Call me traditional, but I find regular AUR to be chaotic enough.

I never really thought about it before, but it seems obvious now. Trekkies and open source tech folks would have a massive overlap, and Lemmy kind of exists perfectly within that intersection of utilitarian principles. So of course we would all find each other here.

If you go to P and check enough doors, you might be able to find one that proves you've been on NP this whole time.

I'd argue that it is for the consumers, as those are the people getting the rebate. It incentivizes a shift in consumer behavior that is meant to take revenue away from the fossil fuel industry and redirect it towards green alternatives. I agree, it's a good policy, and one of the only ways we have of gracefully moving away from fossil fuels.

As long as you can avoid having people completely miss the point of the tax and being misled by politicians for their own personal gain, that is.

Glad Apple and Google are getting the boot, but you can be certain the best interests of the consumer were not part of the consideration.

Company towns are about to return with a vengeance. Looking forward to our feudal amazonpunk future.
