Interesting… I’ll have to check that out.
Pretty cool, I hope it works out for them, and other cities can do the same. The more liveable density in our core neighborhoods, the better. Downtown Calgary can be a pretty drab concrete hellscape, so hopefully the residents can add some colour and life to the place.
“news” isn’t going anywhere… it’s happening all the time. I hope new local papers spring up, maybe with more of a DIY aesthetic. Will the reporting be the same? Is there a market for physical newspapers? My heart says yes, but maybe people just prefer to use their phones…
I’ve been happy with Graphene on my Pixel 7. Only con is Google Wallet doesn’t work, but not a big deal for me personally. I also like that I can deny apps network access: I’ve been using Gboard without network access, which makes me feel a bit better in regards to privacy.
This is the coolest shit I’ve seen all week. Great work, you have a lot of specific knowledge.
Peaceful wooded area with power transmission.
I always thought that thing was the ghost of some dead electrified kid.
Is that an actual tweet of his? Lol what a dork
I think the difference is that turds break down, while cockroaches are more durable. And I’m not talking about the pipes under your house… moreso the waste water treatment facility down the line.
I do not work in sanitation, I just remember reading that somewhere and the Three C’s stuck in my mind.
As for an alternative disposal method, I would suggest throwing the carcasses into a volcano.
Don’t flush roaches, they wreak havoc at the sanitation plant. Remember the Three C’s of stuff that regularly plugs up the sanitation system: Cockroaches, Condoms, Corn.
Let’s hope it gains traction! Spread the good word, the West is long overdue for a general strike.
Dude salivates over oil and gas. A forward-thinking Premier would be diverting fossil fuel subsidies into renewables and renovating the grid to be able to transport & sell those renewables to neighboring provinces. The prairies have ample sunlight and wind potential, and neither of these leak methane.
Nexus One was my first Android phone. I miss the trackball every day… so handy for moving the cursor through text. And it doubled as a notification LED! So sweet. Plus the removable battery, shit was awesome. I still have it in a box somewhere. I’m on a Pixel 7 now.
I used Google Reader, but I did jump over to inoreader for quite a while to follow webcomics. RSS feeds still exist, so you can start curating your lists again anytime. It’s nice to find those gem sites/blogs one wouldn’t normally see on lemmy/Reddit/etc
Finland, Finland, Finland… the country where I want to be.
I borrowed The Binding of Isaac for the Switch from the library a week before Covid lockdown first began. Normally video game rentals are one week. Due to the library not wanting to take returns during this time, I got to play that game for 2 months before returning it.
I eventually bought it and still play it today. But wow, I played the shit out of that game during lockdown. Some good times amidst bad times.
All this to say: libraries are AWESOME and one of our greatest public services IMO. They provide free knowledge and services to every person for free. I love my library, it is one of my happy places.
My partner pays for the Premium service. We go geocaching together all the time, I’d say it’s worth it. Lame subscription model aside, it’s pretty cheap entertainment and it gets us outside.
We don’t subscribe in the winter so it’s only a few months a year we need to pay for.
Cars make it too easy to ignore the world: “I’m in my little power bubble and I have no responsibilities to anyone else.” The fact that a person on a bicycle stopped is proof to the humanizing and community-building nature of bicycles.
