Does that mean it will be banned in workplaces like video games because workers should be working not entertaining themselves ?

EV charging stations could probably run on small arrays of solar panels and not even need to be connected to the grid.

Done some more preparation and just about ready to create the new account, then migrate to it. The process looks pretty simple, lets hope it goes smoothly. Timeline depends on how the gods move me, but within a few days, possibly sooner.
Just looked at my blog stats (on blogspot/blogger) over it's lifetime and my views really jumped when I joined Mastodon. in March 2023. Being on Twitter did not make any noticeable difference.
Well I guess we will have to get used to saying NDP Leader Lewis, again.

So I cannot wear an "I believe in democracy" t-short into the provinces most important institution of democracy because believing in democracy is definitely a political statement but [whoever the hell you worship] forbid political statements be allowed in the legislature.

Wondering whoever dreamed up calling other peoples computer servers connected to the internet "the cloud". When I think of clouds I think of light fluffy things that when they get full and heavy start to leak all over the place. Hardly the metaphor I would want to use for computer storage.

Party power needs to move to the constituency from the federal office and political power to MPs from the leader.

If there is impropriety the solution is not abandoning the instance but changing it's management.
Right now we do not know what is going on behind the scenes, something nefarious, OR appropriate steps being taken.
Waiting for now as well, but prepared.

And we have a new leader of the NDP
If the new NDP leader proves too "socialist" for some they can join the Liberals and drag them back to Liberalism from their current pretending to be the old PCs incarnation.
But we are making our war expenditures target and hoping to build a homegrown war industry,

I remember an encyclopedia salesperson trying to sell a set to my parents. The sales line was that it was less than the cost of cigarettes, as if they were going to give up smoking to get me an encyclopedia.

Appears the owner doesn't seem interested in making a profit but just in providing a home for the tenants so perhaps turning it into a co-op with the residents buying in with enough funds to do the upgrades needed and a monthly co-op fee high enough to ensure this doesn't happen again might be an option.
