Hey man, I can't be the person to fully educate you on this but 2.7 degrees of average increase does not translate to a slightly warmer summer day. The language used makes it very misleadingly sound like no big deal, but it is a BIG deal. Without trying to be cliche, there is an XKCD for this and here it is: https://xkcd.com/1732/

A short way to get the point across is that when the earth's average temperature was 4°C lower than it was in 1990, that was an ice age. "Boston is buried under almost a mile of ice".

Imagine such a dramatic climate change in the other direction, 5°C hotter than 1990.

Translate: "We have no idea what's wrong or how to fix it. But we've almost decided who to blame."

Also, the CRTC helpline and Service Canada and CRA account logins. We were unable to access government services.

Can you really describe kids or parents with any kind of meaning using a binary "good" and "bad"? Aren't most people great in situations that suit them and allow them to thrive and use their skills and talents, and bad in situations where they don't have the tools to be successful?

They might have mispelled "bylaw" which is a municipal ordinance with legally binding power, but only on a local level.

Second place for "Then you could use a standard gravestone as a screwdriver..."

I doubt that's the case with this particular author.

Nobody cares about Yelp.

Plus, you're not getting a decent tip from them no matter how hard you try.

Yeah, that actually sounds like a cool concept.

Sounds like a quitter to me.

Do you prefer living in the cold?

It's even stranger when you realize that probably only 20% of trips in New York are conducted by car, and yet they are by far the largest physical presence everywhere you go. Actually quite obnoxious.

No, I’m still holding out with my original iPhone se. Seriously, how does faceId even work with a mask on?

Hackernews is down on Facebook for lots of good reasons. But outside of this bubble, working for a big name like Facebook or Meta will impress basically every future employer and open hundreds of doors for you. Yes, do it. The great thing about internships is that you don't have to stay after it's over, if the company's ethics make you feel gross. You can get firsthand knowledge instead of relying on the peanut gallery around here.

It's not hunter2, correcthorsebatterystaple, password123, swordfish, or my gmail password. Anyone got it?

Well, there are backup plans :)

I think it's a cashflow vs capital thing. I'm in a similar situation - my wife and I aren't making much money at the moment, but our condo increased in value by so much that we were able to buy a million-dollar property. Granted it would have been a 300k property about ten years ago, but here we are. And due to the condo sale and the magic of financing, we have about 100k leftover to spend on renovating it and making it feel worth the money we spent. But we don't have much cashflow, so we need to spend that money as efficiently as possible, because once it's spent it will take a LONG time to build back up.

The walls are concrete, there's probably no sound transference at all.

You lost me there.

If you're feeling bad, do this arbitrary thing instead of this other arbitrary thing to fix it. Alright.

I just don’t understand why a clothing company needs so many engineers. It’s not as if we know anything about fashion.

Meanwhile half the items on their website are out of stock right now - maybe they ought to spend the money on production instead? That’s the only way they’re going to get my money.

When I moved in with my partner, she came with a small George Foreman grill. She used it occasionally for reheating burritos, but together we found out that it makes grilled cheese so quickly and easily, that grilled cheese went from being an occasional treat to a weekly staple. I highly recommend it over the pan option.

Yeah, it's trash and you're almost always better off just reading the original story (if you haven't already, since it was probably on the front page of a major subreddit).

I couldn't say whether this story is true or not, but I do have to remind myself to steer clear of /r/antiwork and take it with a grain of salt. I'm a person who is happy when I'm working hard, and my current life goals include gaining skills in an industry where I can't really operate as a solo entrpreneur with a startup business. I need a job where I can learn, and I need to work hard, both for my goals and for my own happiness. Reading too much /r/antiwork makes me bitter and angry, which colors my relationships with my coworkers and employer. It's not good for me, even though I agree with most of their philosophical points (ie, pro-union, don't work for free, insist on your rights, etc).

So... communists? Hippies? Not that there's anything wrong with either, I just find that such people are really into work-trade and barter, but they always have cash for alcohol and cigarettes.

Deeply, deeply pretentious.

We're willing to pay. We just think the employers should be paying their share too.

"Dozens of big companies headed by top-paid CEOs collected COVID-19 government benefits" https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/ceo-pay-covid-19-1.6303304

They're in Canada, where the covid stimulus was $2000/month up until October 2021. Not disagreeing though, CERB is long over and anyone who got that money has spent it. Before the pandemic, I lived in a relatively cheap bachelor where the rent was $1250. I got laid off in the first week, and didn't find a job til a year later.

My groceries used to cost $200/month, now they're $300. Internet and my phone cost $120, leaving $330 month to cover anything that wasn't bare minimum essential. Thank god I already had a bike, because paying for my car would have eaten the last of the money. Also, CERB was a taxable benefit, but deductions weren't taken, meaning that I'll have to pay back some of it at tax time.

Not even joking, if I hadn't moved in with my wife a month before covid hit, I'd be homeless today, CERB or not.

Yeah - the stalls have the same capacity, the same consumer demand is present, but now we have fights!
