Poverty and pressure to commit pension fraud were shown to be excellent indicators of reaching ages 100+ in a way that is the opposite of rational expectations'.
I like the solitary grape. Gotta get some fiber in your meal.
Climate change will cause more droughts, fires, and heat waves. Millions of people will die and be displaced.
There's a handful of people who want to do something to prevent this, but, given our system, there's basically nothing they can do to change the outcome. So they're resorting to civil disobedience.
I think it's fine. From what I've heard, these are mostly minor inconveniences. Given the scale of suffering they're warning us about, the inconveniences don't seem minor. Disrupting medical care isn't acceptable, etc.
They've successfully gotten people talking about climate change, so it's working.
Eby said the 40 per cent from the province is not a grant or ongoing subsidy, but financing that is to be repaid at the end of 25 years, or when the owner sells.

Counterpoint: before Gmail, I ran my own mail server and futzed with Mutt for a perfect email experience. It was a frustrating time sink.
Gmail came out and I now get a better end-user experience with virtually no cost of ownership. I'm comfortable with the ad-supported model. I'd prefer a low monthly fee, but not so much that it's worth moving to Proton. Eventually, maybe I will.
I get this take, but it isn't for me.
Now you would likely be fired if you refused to use Teams or Slack or whatever your company uses.
Why would I refuse? It's company software running on company hardware. It isn't my problem what the ToS is.
I'm not sure it's devil's advocate: I work with computers for 40 hours a week. There's no way that I want to put any effort into a computer in my personal time
I love shitting on Python, but I feel like all those problems are present in libraries for other languages as well. There's a tonne of that crap for JS/TS.
Similarly, I find a fair number of Rust crates (that I want to use) have virtually no doc or inline examples, and use weird metaprogramming that I can't wrap my head around.
If it's enforced, it's more of a tax, isn't it? I thought the whole premise was that people are doing it out of altruism.
I love this community
Huh. TIL. Ty.
