Driving annoyances 2. #driving
You are car 6 waiting at a light controlling a single lane of traffic. We all know that the second car has the responsibility to notify the first car that the light has changed if it seems they did not notice. If they fail, the notifications falls to car 3, and so on.
What is more annoying?

It truly astounds that Alberta thinks it will be easier to ram a pipeline through BC if they leave Canada. They aren't the smartest.

@carlrichell Linus wasn't quite a kid when he started Linux, but you don't start a big project like that without some small ones under your belt.

Actually, no. Not uphill both ways. I actually learned to type on a push typewriter - not like these other soft people who had fancy schools and electricity and all that.

I really have no clue if those old Wangs were any good. I'm just here for the Wang joke.

@Pinchy63 Well, it is kind of true in that all their friends and family wouldn't provide any support in their time of need.
I wonder if we can blame certain religions for this harshness?

Here's the solar generation data for yesterday. It's not great for several reasons (few panels, cloudy and the battery was already at 87% of capacity when the sun came up).
But it's great for all kinds of other reasons.
Why they choose a delivery truck for km driven is a mystery.
Hmmm. I can't add alt text to the picture, so I'll put it here.
A screenshot from the app - a nice curve showing the solar powered i captured the the time of day i captured it. It also tells me that I saved an entire 632g of CO2 emissions, planted 0.02 entire trees or drove 2.64 km. This is 1.58 kWh gets you. It will be sunnier today, but I think the battery will tap out before the sun sets as it is already at 89%.
Edit to actually add the picture. No wonder adding alt text was a problem.

The expensive one is the one with the thicker cable which is better able to withstand varmints (left).

You should ask to work on deploying blockchain or developing NFTs.

@mikepmoffatt I would like to someone to explain a few things.
-
If we banned AirBnB like services and returned all those homes to the long term housing pool, how does help alleviate the situation?
-
Why do we think the people that profit from the problem (the developers) want this problem solved - especially when governments look to these same people for the solution? We won't find a solution by asking those racking in the cash now to solve it.

I once requested the score of an nhl playoff hockey game. The flight attendant said that would be unlikely but the pilot reported it just minutes later and the plane cheered. my finest moment.

@plantarum@ottawa.place there are others but some stick with substack for some reason. Maybe it's cheaper.

Here are some great pictures of what #Ottawa looked like before austerity destroyed it.

@hewer_of_code When the price of gas, per litre, exceeds the price of water they sell inside the station, gas is still way too cheap.

We just buy another one for $3 or so. It seems easier.

@erin my thinking is that the city does the yard waste and every bit of it they pick up saves on the green bin contract.
One would think they had a long route to complete but maybe it's an area and a block of time for some reason.
Also finishing early might result in them getting a less desirable bit of work at the end of the day, so they drag things out. I've hired contractors here that suddenly become very meticulous about cleaning up to avoid going back to the shop and getting a crappy job for 30 minutes.

Having to be a certain age to use a certain app or website is stupid.
if the app / website is so awful that kids can't see / use them, then they are almost certainly bad things and the government should work to make those responsible for them responsible for them.
Hold the corporation responsible accountable for what they are doing to us. None of us will mind.

@davidakin As opposed to the US spy machines on wheels? Seriously, these days, I'd rather China have my data than the US government.

It all makes sense now. The province took control of the Toronto Island airport so that one bully can park his plane there.
I can't wait to vote him and his party out.
I won't miss Renaldo whining at every bit of contact.
He's a great player but his career has been tarnished by his whining in my opinion.

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io They cook in boiling water coming out of the ground in the Azores (in a place appropriately called Furnas).
They stick a big pot into this hole for a few hours and then sell an overpriced meal from the food.
