Ignorance is not an excuse.
If no one has ever told them that some bats carry rabies how would they know to Google anything when they find a bat in the house? It’s not something that is taught in school and I’ve never seen or heard a PSA talking about it in Ontario.
In 19 years I have never been burned by Valve, in the same period I have lost access to software (and hardware) from Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and Epic. They are a money making business and will always act in their own interest but so far it seems like their own interests includes not stomping on customers (in my experience).
What monopoly? Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and Epic all make money hand over fist selling videogames.
the need to impose a sentence that would deter anyone else from trying to “change the genetic makeup of the creatures” on earth.
Dogs, cats, cows, pigs, chickens, horses, sheep, literally every domesticated animal has had it’s genetic makeup changed either indirectly or directly by humans. Is there no way to get a sentence thrown out if your judge proves themselves to be totally ignorant on the subject?
Find the guys who signed the paperwork to build the well, chain them to it. Make them spend a year cleaning up by hand before we have to start paying for it.
There are streaming services that already are not available in Canada because we are too small of a market to be worth the hassle. Increasing that hassle will not make the situation better.
Only 10K left to go.
No they wont.
There is no demand for dumb-TVs. People are stupid, people don’t know what they want, people don’t know that their TV is broken because the manufacture made it broken. People will buy what they are told to buy.
At best you can buy a smart TV, hobble it, and use your own video sources.
Has anyone noticed that the Ford family is the Quimby family from the Simpsons?
Enforce shipping regulations.
Train firefighters and give them the tools they need to put out self oxidizing metal fires.
Stop making battery fires into a boogyman so oil and gas can say “look, we’re safer!”
Does the CRTC do anything to help Canada at this point? They’ve allowed all telecoms/media to be merged down to 2 and a half entities. They’ve allowed cell and internet service prices to be the highest in the western world. They’ve forced CanCon rules that subsidize media monopolies while driving viewers to non-Canadian platforms. And now they are going to drive other services out of Canada at the request of those same media monopolies.
He can be cruel AND stupid.
It only takes one ICBM reaching it’s target to fuck up a lot of people in Europe or America.
Go ahead, draft me. Thanks to the lack of availability of family doctors I have a number of chronic health issues! At best you pile 300 other guys like me up to block a road.
allow a family member, police officer or medical professional to petition to force treatment when a person is deemed an imminent danger to themselves or others because of addiction or drug use
As long as there are some seriously strict requirements that need to be met then it’s better than what we have at the moment.
Not pictured: the billions of flying insects missing from the GTA.
He really is speed running the Trump story arc from ‘Hero of the Right’ to raving lunatic.
Fuck everyone involved, the dickheads involved should be held personally responsible for this. Fine the project manager, inspector, foreman, even the tradesmen who actually did the work.
But they were just doing what they were told
Bullshit, when your foreman tells you to build a subpar house, a house that you know someone is going to have to live in, you tell him to put it in writing. Your foreman would literally sell you by the pound if the opportunity ever came up. If enough guys wave down inspectors and get this shit caught before the house is sold it will no longer be profitable to build shitty houses.
Bias: I am an electrician, I worked for 7 years in commercial/industrial construction and 12 years in industrial maintenance/service. If I do sub standard work people can get hurt or killed. Sometimes I have to remind the bean-counters that a dead employee is a lot more expensive than the vital part I need to make a machine safe.
When some project has install instructions that look like this:
I’ll usually view skim through the file, understand none of it and then run it in a VM or container with my fingers crossed.
