I'm kinda surprised there hasn't been a retrofit of some kind to at least make an attempt at aerodynamics for it. I guess it would be minimal efficiency savings.

If you're that worried about it being a tax on poor people, advocate for free, high quality public transit. The way car centric places are designed right now basically means car ownership is the tax you pay to participate in society unless you want a significantly slower and scheduled experience trying to use transit.

How fast your car can go and how busy the road is irrelevant. Fact is you were exceeding the limit. Yes our road design sucks. It costs millions to rehabilitate just 1 road while it costs thousands to operate the cameras. People are literally dying due to excessive speeds on our roadways so I'll take the not perfect solution of speed enforcement over nothing.

None of these numbers really matter unless we also consider the percentage of those jobs that are full time vs part time. The wages of those jobs should also be considered if we really want to be doing fair comparisons.

So really, they only added maybe 40,000 jobs and are asking people to share.

The grit exfoliates and makes your skin softer by removing dead skin. Definitely luxurious before soaps were more common.

Values won't drop because for the most part we aren't destroying existing housing but demand is still increasing. Toronto is still growing we are just expected to rent out individual rooms and basements instead of building new, real apartments because somebody who bought 40 years ago is worried a couple of sixplexs will ruin the "character" of neighborhood.

But if we actually start increasing housing supply the real estate investors won't make as much money

No, but these beads pretty much go straight into the local waterways where they can very quickly break down into micro plastics. All so a human didn't have to use a tool like a brush or a loofa to scrub themselves. Convenience at any cost.

The pumice action definitely helps but I'm pretty sure gojo is also full of added chemicals to help the soap lift oils more effectively.

I would much rather use that bar of soap than the mysterious liquid gels full of dyes and other junk. If natural tones are somehow gross and icky but a blood red goo that faintly smells of petro chemicals is fine then maybe we really are doomed as a species.

You go back a century or so, that bar of soap would likely have been considered a luxury product.

You grabbed the exact quote that really stuck out to me as well. It's almost as if they can't fathom someone relying on a bicycle to same extent they rely on their car.

 

I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

 

The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
