CBC's Marketplace did some investigating [1], and found that in many cases, the owner or manager pocket part or all of the service tip, even in provinces where this is not legal.

What was it about the video that made you think it's generative? That it's surrealistic?

Hoopla, however, is abysmal both in selection (though this depends on your local library) and in software/service quality. The search is broken, and it has some of the most confusing UX I've ever experienced. It's as if it actively wants to prevent you from watching anything.
Parameters: - Toronto to Montreal at 3:21PM EST.
All draught Guinness (including Guinness Draught cans) is not carbonated with just CO2, but with nitrogen and CO2 in a 70-30% (thereabouts) mix.
Additionally, when pouring a typically carbonated beer incorrectly (or not pouring it into a glass), a larger amount of CO2 remains in solution, leading to gastro bloat that can feel more uncomfortable than one would expect. You can experience bad pours even at bars, depending on who's behind the tap.
Lagers will have higher carbonation levels than most stouts, so that could be a factor.
Having used Drawing Things regularly for the last few weeks, I still get confused by certain interactions and UI elements, leading to mistakes, and 'lost productivity'. It would greatly benefit from a UX pass, as more standard UX improves expectations of what will happen upon performing an action.
Don't get me wrong: I appreciate that it was released –for free– and that its capabilities are what they are. I'm merely arguing that more cohesive UX and pro functionality are not mutually exclusive.
As an example of a 'pro' app, there's Pixelmator Pro, which is a very Mac-assed app. I was able to pick it and start using it immediately without tutorials as its typical UX is intuitive (to me, as a macOS user), even when it came to more complicated operations.
Some more examples that I can think of off the top of my head: Proxyman, TablePlus, Kaleidoscope, Tower. The only exception to my observation, based on tools in my daily arsenal: VSCode. Non-standard UX, yet still intuitive.
Everything else that's non-standard feels like I'm battling with the UI daily, even after years of use: Android Studio, Slack, and most of the complicated Electron apps.
The main reason –other than curiousity– is to ensure that a future regression (in Chrome/Grammarly) wouldn't lead to it again.
For me it's super convenient as I can request that they send a copy (found anywhere in their system) to my local library, and I can bike over to pick it up a few days later.
The important thing is that no one is charged criminally for possession.
Unclear how much is due to the combustion of gas vs. also the cooking of food, as others have mentioned. I suspect it’s almost entirely from combustion of the gas. Though, I have noticed that the CO2 levels don’t climb as high if simply boiling water on high heat.
Also is gross vehicle weight the right metric? That's the maximum rated operating weight with cargo, passengers and fuel. Curb weight seems more appropriate for a 1:1 comparison.
- increase road wear
- increase road fatalities due to larger momentum in collisions
- require more raw materials for the batteries
- result in more component wear, mainly tires
