2400? Luxury. I had 300 with a fallback to 110. And my favourite part of pine was pico.

@alexwilson96.bsky.social Anything less than the termination for cause of the staff responsible including the city manager is unacceptable. The incompetence they showed is appalling.

A comment posted to LinkedIn by Tim Rakers that reads, "Who cares I don't think he's racist but as long as his policies keep me wealthy I'm good!"

There's a very simple explanation for why horrible things keep happening and nobody's held accountable, and it's this (from LinkedIn, in response to a post criticizing Trump's claim that he's "least racist"):

I don't know who your god is, but you're pitching them a softball with that one.

Don't worry about the remaining books. I'm sure his son Christopher will devote his life to scouring, reconciling, and compiling his father's extensive notes into a comprehensive ten-volume set that will bring closure to the story.

Haley Reinhart did a great job of Creep, too (Scott Bradlee deserves a lot of credit for the arrangement)

I think Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower is pretty hard to beat.

I see what you did there.

Parrot's a new one on me. Verbatim and Dysan are the ones I remember best but I must have used dozens of different brands over the years.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

β€œIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

I don't see how "hold the line" and "move the line up by 4.5%" can be reconciled. At best an inflation-indexed increase could be justified. Hamiltonians certainly aren't seeing a 4.5% increase in their incomes.

When did it become socially acceptable to put your phone on speaker and force the rest of the coffee shop to listen to whatever you're watching on Netflix?

A Canadian employer of record will probably cost you less than $100,000 per employee.

Screw Air Canada for not settling in the first place and screw WestJet for profiteering in the meantime.

South Australia algal bloom a 'natural disaster,' state's premier says, as species wiped out | CBC News South Australia's state premier has declared a toxic algal bloom a "natural disaster" amid thousands of marine animal deaths, as well as impacts to tourism and seafood farming.

"This is a natural disaster" says the world's largest exporter of coal, as if it were in fact nature's fault.

Ah. Your article begins, "Hamilton’s freedom of information manager has been ordered to respond..." hence my confusion. Thank you.

Appreciate your reporting, Joey. It would be helpful if you could include the actual names of the people involved, not just their job titles or the nebulous "staff" or "city." For example, is Lisa Barroso the freedom of information manager subject to the order?

A couple of SF series off the top of my head: Remembrance of Earth's Past (Three Body Problem, etc.) by Liu Cixin and the Mars Trilogy (Red Mars, etc.) by Kim Stanley Robinson. I really enjoyed both of those.

Just experienced thirty seconds of existential terror wondering which parallel universe I'd wandered into in which Ray Bradbury didn't write "Dandelion Wine"
