are you perhaps thinking of birds

Also Skinamarink!

Beanfield for internet (mostly available in Toronto) - Canadian company, owns their own fibre in the ground.

He can't elaborate on it because he's full of shit

every tipping point is just an arbitrary line that climate scientists draw to try to draw people’s attention to the problem

That is completely, utterly wrong. Climate scientists are talking about the physical concept of the tipping point, which is observed in nature and also comes out of their models. In climate, it's the point at which reversing a change that originally happened over decades would take thousands of years. For example, this has been the huge concern with the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), which plays a large role in the climate of western Europe: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2791639/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_meridional_overturning_circulation

Especially read the sections about Stability and vulnerability, Effects of an AMOC slowdown, and Effects of an AMOC shutdown.

My point is, tipping points are absolutely not an arbitrary thing. They are very solid predictions based on the physics of the climate. We don't necessarily understand exactly how close we are, even though we're observing some effects of being close to them, but the impacts of crossing them will make climate change even worse and hence the alarm.

Edit: If anyone reads these links and your eyes glaze over and you don't understand of word of what's written, then you need the humility to listen and accept what climate scientists have been trying to tell you. Some of the smartest people on the planet have been working on this for decades.

I can't even remember the last time I even saw a cop doing speed enforcement in Toronto. Definitely not on the highways. It makes total sense to automate this, and I highly doubt anybody lost their job over it.

Honest to god, it's not that hard to do 40 km/h in these zones. They post a sign telling you there's a speed camera coming up. You just have to go 40 for like 20 meters to avoid a ticket.

Why should we socialize the cost of "fixing" the road design, when we can instead make the individuals who speed pay?

Karma Co-op almost went out of business in like 2019. Not sure how they survived. The article just sounds like an ad for Karma Co-op, but at least it's for a good cause.

I've never wanted the Digital Services Tax more than right now, lol.

This is the laziest troll of a take, lol. We are building high speed rail. We stopped our EV rebate (for now). Immigrants and China have nothing to do with the topic or the article.

We have plenty of carbon and methane emissions from oil and gas usage, which you could make an actual coherent argument out of, but instead you just wrote complete gibberish and contributed nothing to Lemmy.

If the populace of voters can't remember anything that happened just a couple years ago, I don't think we can expect them to be forward thinking either. There's little incentive for politicians to make the hard, unpopular, long-term decisions that we need to battle climate change and other challenges.

That you misremembered the generation of Nintendo console that Quake 2 was on makes this the perfect chefs kiss millennial boomer comment, lol.

I found another cereal - Made Good has this "crispy light granola cocoa crunch" that's usually in the organic section, by the granola, but it's definitely just straight up cereal. It's weirdly not on their website either. I've tried a few flavours and they're fine. If you go into it expecting granola, you're going to be disappointed, so think of them more like a cross between rice krispies and granola....

I tried the chocolate banana flavour and it's OK too. The banana bits are really more like marshmallows, so again, manage your expectations lol.

As a bonus, I also discovered Jordan's granola is made in the UK by a UK company, so that's another alternative if you're just trying to avoid US products.

The graph of news headlines about the real estate market is the same graph lol. They recycle the same narrative every year.

apology accepted

It's not though, it's owned by NordStar Capital.

How come half the time you write in broken English, and the other half with sweeping paragraphs of perfect English? But it always ends with Russian propaganda like the west is forcing Russia to defend itself by invading their peaceful neighbour, Ukraine. (I guess the irony of saying that in this particular thread is lost on you...)

Alright that's a fair take

Overly simplistic take. We don't deal with America as a single entity at all. Look at our tariff responses and the way we target specific Republican states.

I'm not saying you need to go out and spend all your money in the US, but let's not catastrophise here or play it up more than it is. I don't think American voters genuinely understood or expected most of what they're getting right now (even if they deserve it).

That the US hates Canada hasn’t changed.

This is just total nonsense, like most of the garbage that you post here. Talk to Americans - they're embarrassed by how their government is treating Canada. We're close allies and our biggest trading partners. There is no animosity between our peoples and the only ones who say there is are our enemies trying to seed division.

(This guy runs a Russian propaganda sub on Lemmy.ca, check his history.)

Your comment fits into your low effort Russian astroturing campaign where everybody in the west is bad and hates each other and Russia is good and should be allowed to invade anyone they want. Fuck off.
