There’s a guy in our town with no arms or legs. Gets around on a skateboard. Shot himself in the woods during winter but was found and given medical attention. But not before he lost all 4 limbs to frostbite. I’ve never spoken to him. Seems to have a pretty positive disposition given his circumstances.

Also have a bro whose gf slit her wrists in the tub. She survived. Hella trauma all around. Still on the waiting list for surgery to fix her hands years later.

Had a total karen of a neighbour once…Hard not to be callous cuz she was genuinely unpleasant to interact with but found out from my roommate that several years back she came home and found her son had hung himself in the closet at like 17. Who knows if she was nicer back then but clearly permafucked her mentally. She didn’t even move out. She kept living there.

Dying peacefully via MAID is certainly less traumatic to everyone else.

most of my social network is on it

See that’s my challenge, most of my social network is still at the “posting my kids on social media is okay” level of internet survival instinct.

Even if you end up in a conservative represented area it’ll be fine. They don’t do anything other than ragebait and pander.

And you’re American.

lmfao

(am in Ontario so not me

Ahhh that explains it. As per my other reply those poll numbers don’t reflect the political landscape of BC at all.

We get Eby taking a huge risk with a stupid election call at a stupid time.

I disagree. The timing is perfect if you’re looking to capitalize on the same anti-conservative/anti-maple-maga sentiment that kept the NDP in power in Oct of 2024.

Nah cuz most of those green votes are in at most 3 green strongholds. Same with conservatives; a non-negligible number of that 44.7% is gonna be packed into like 3 ridings in the interior.

That doesn’t factor in how most conservatives are packed into a handful of voting districts.

Conservatives literally have to put the words Liberal or Social in their party name to win in this province.

High Seas save us

trying to make fire fighting armor piercing bullets

Okay but can you please elaborate on this? It literally broke my brain.

make fire fighting armor piercing bullets

Sorry are you developing bullets or armour?

Fun anecdote I’m sure you can corroborate. A ballistics engineer once told me that getting shot while wearing a bullet proof vest is like laying down next to a table and having a 300LB person jump on you with a pogo stick.

intends to criminalize me for something I purchased legally

Are you referring to the Firearm Violence Prevention Act? AFAICT the only way any legal and responsible gun owner would become a criminal under this legislation is if they’re bringing an emotional support gun to school/church/daycare.

Regardless do you care to elaborate?

I do have concerns about governments disarming the populace. At the same time I like living in a society where lethal force isn’t omnipresent.

NLG that would actually incentivize me to be on there.

Fetterman’s proof that you need to have brain damage to be conservative

I might have a way out for you guys.

All we need to do is unironically whistle blow on the conspiracy about citrus making people gay/queer.

Here’s hoping we get an EU-CAD alternative to VISA/MC

Alternatively could we increase the kinetic force with which we award it to them by a factor of like 10^10000?

this current centrist party leadership

You mean the incumbents? Yea of course they don’t want primary challengers. It’s always been the voter’s responsibility to make that happen.

So to do an accurate property value assesment (what you’re doing) you’d need to provide at least 5 examples from each of those regions, only including comparable properties. In other words you need to isolate that it was the solar panels and not a litany of other potential factors.

I’m not saying solar doesn’t improve property value.

I’m saying you cannot take one example and apply it to an entire market. Which you just did x6.

The part your missing is why it’s illegal. Canadian electric code requires everything to go through the breaker box so that electricians can know there is no current in the building.

So even if the rules are changed this introduces installation costs that could be prohibitive.

A safety stamp that says these systems are good to go

Of which there are current zero devices registered for legal sale in Canada, because of the code issues prescribed above.

It’s safe, it’s proven, and it works everywhere it’s allowed.

The problem is that plug in balcony solar is not considered safe according to our electrical code.

Plus any situation where they make balcony solar accessible will inherently mean rooftop solar becomes availabe and is clearly the more cost effective option.
