If the only way an industry could survive is through immigration, it is obvious that there needs to be a legal path for the skilled workers to immigrate. Maybe this should have been considered before the deportation surge.

But I suspect given the sponsors of this legislation that this is unlikely to have a path to citizenship and will amount to indentured servitude.

Article says no such thing. Merely that they are expanding their list of partners.

It is unlikely that you will agree on everything. Given enough time, a bit of stress, and some sleep deprivation, it’s inevitable that a disagreement will occur.

The “all relationships have fights” idea is rooted in the idea that total lack of disagreement can point to a communication problem, that is, spouses don’t share their opinion and feelings fully, which leads to a longer term resentment and long term problems.

The human body is amazingly adaptive.

Brain worms, a carnivore diet, and whatever turns him orange, and he’s somehow still alive.

Anyways, I’m off to eat some vegetables dressed with seed oil.

Mmmm I love the smell of dumpster juice while I’m eating.

You’re right about the beds and it’s a bit of a joke but I do recall now that it was a Murdoch anti environmentalist slag who wrote it up.

Once it’s below -5 it’s just cold. The range 10° above that has the possibility of being a damp cold and that sucks the life out of you

I addressed both depreciation and maintenance.

When I purchase a car, I pay, for example, $50,000. If I enter that as an asset, I need to depreciate it as time and mileage add up - ($10,000) year one, (5000) year two.

If I consider the payments simply as a cost, without considering the value of the vehicle as an asset, I don’t need to consider depreciation. It’s right there on the books as (50,000) in 2026. So that $800 for car payments plus insurance is the total cost of the vehicle. This calculation would only be a problem while I have money owing on the vehicle and try to sell it - which I personally won’t do. I’d rather own a car for 15-20 years if I can.

My electric car costs about us$25 to charge and US$800 to finance and insure monthly. My other car is owned outright and is under $100 for fuel, and $100 for insurance. I’m disregarding depreciation because it’s about cash in hand, and including maintenance puts it about $1000-1100 total.

I think it’s not unreasonable, but you need to assume a fairly short commute. With a pickup truck doing marathon 60 mile commutes, it’s more like $2000 for sure. Per car.

“In Paris the athletes received 300,000 condoms — two per day each— but the numbers for these Winter Games were significantly lower: not even 10,000,” La Stampa’s report states.

In Paris, the beds started breaking.

This Thames?

It’s just a higher ride height, and we recognize the pollution that driving a car across a stream can cause. Nothing particularly challenging about the depth shown here.

It’s pretty fucking difficult to be “balanced” when one side is publishing verifiable falsehoods as truth.

I don’t expect the same would happen if the person wasn’t related to a TV personality.

Also, this brings into question whether deleted data is in fact deleted.

the government is forcing us to use electric vehicles so that they have control over our cars and can turn off the chargers whenever they want.

Actual thing people have told me. This is what happens when people are getting their news from their Facebook feed.

Slap McDonald’s and Coca-cola on everything, don’t actually kick the Russian aggressors out, but a silent remembrance of your friends and fellow athletes is absolutely a no go.

Fuck the IOC.

The article isn’t about child labour specifically, but part time jobs for teens. Technically, child labour, but not really the same as a 8 year old coal miner or loom operator. Good click bait!

I worked through my teens but with some important caveats. I worked next to my boss every day, and they started before me and finished after me. I worked outdoors, in relatively decent weather. I was able to take vacation as I desired - even though I only had a few weeks to work, I still was able to take 2 weeks of vacation.

I don’t think my kids will be able to have a similar experience (given my location and market forces), and I don’t want them to grind away their leisure time at minimum wage working in a shitty retail environment with unpredictable hours. When I was working, (50-60hrs a week for the summer) the sum total of my all my teen years up to university didn’t cover the first year’s rent. I hope that I’ll be able to find suitable activities, volunteer opportunities, and learning experiences that they can participate in instead of a job.

If you make public transit a public service like road maintenance, this ceases to be an issue.
