Are you in the EU? My understanding is that those rewards are not available in the EU due to their much lower transaction fees. Admittedly, I'm not in the EU, so this is second hand knowledge.

Mpg is worse than its inverse gpm, because it's not linear, and humans are really bad at comparisons of non-linear values.

Consider 3 vehicles. They get 10 mpg, 20 mpg, and 40 mpg. With these numbers, it's obvious which is the most efficient, but it's not easy to tell how efficient. For instance, will you get more fuel savings trading in your 10 mpg for the 20 mpg, or the 20 mpg for the 40 mpg vehicle?

Instead, if we look at those vehicles with their gpm ratings, we can quickly tell how much benefit we get from upgrading. Respectively, they are 10, 5, and 2.5 gallons per 100 miles, and it's much easier to see that going from 10 to 20 mpg is a much bigger improvement than going from 20 to 40 mpg.

Ukraine wants EU membership. Trump doesn't want to feel like the US is being left out, so Ukraine will pretend to negotiate to spare his feelings.

If you have a Lemmy account, you're significantly more online than most people.

I think workers' rights legislation would go a long way to making Canada Post more competitive even without many changes. It's hard to compete with slavery.

Canada Post has to pay their employees benefits and vacation. All the other delivery companies are relying on the gig economy, and probably paying their "contractors" less than minimum wage, and certainly no benefits.

The Ion has automatic signal priority in some places, but at other intersections it only uses its priority if it's behind schedule. I think it could, in theory, run the whole route without stopping at all.

Racism seems to be getting worse in Canada, but right now it's mostly directed at Indians (or south Asians in general).

That's not ambiguity, that's you willfully misinterpreting a definitive statement.

I don't know what the sign that you parked at said, because you haven't told us. I do know that you're arguing against literally everyone in this thread trying (unsuccessfully) to get anyone to agree with you. Based on that, I'm guessing the problem wasn't with the signage.

How is that ambiguous? You can only park there if you're charging. If the charger is broken, you're not charging, so you can't park there.

It's only ambiguous in the sense that, you could park there, and run an extension cord to the closest building and plug in and now you're technically charging but not using the city's charging infrastructure as I'm sure they intended when they wrote that sign.

What did the sign say?

Many of the public charging spots in my city say "reserved for EV charging only", which unambiguously means that you can only park there if you're charging. If the charger is broken, you can't charge there, so you can't park there.

Why are you even in this community if you don't like the game?

Everything except the full spelling is the verbatim headline from the article. I don't think this community has a rule about using the exact headline, but many communities do, and it's pretty good practice.
