The reasons we see this done is because we don’t actually value our land accurately. It’s very easy to develop over farm land but much more difficult to get that land back.

What is wrong with your street lamps that kicking them turns them off? I’ve seen lamps taken out by cars that still run if the bulb survived and the wires didn’t rip.

It needs to be native plants too. Just letting whatever grow on the grass often ends up being roadside weeds and invasive species, which is more diverse than just grass but pales in comparison to a truly naturalized praire or woodland.

Closer than the walmart parking lot in town?

I never had a problem with mine. My 6 speed stick took more abuse than the 3 speed auto I had in my 02.

The tj ended production in 2006 and the last manual model had an impressive low gear. The 6 speed tranmission had a lower 1st gear than the 5 speed, and also somehow a lower 6th gear than the 5 speeds 5th.

The rubicons do have a good kit and package for off roading, they are rarely used for that when new these days. Locking differentials and thick metal skid plates for example are typically an off road specific feature.

Depends how off road. Cottage dirt road? Yea thats fine. Genuine off road trail with 2+ feet of water in some puddles and rocks/ruts that you actually need some bumper height for? Mini van probably won’t cut it.

Many people like Canada compared to the USA for its more socialist policies like healthcare and social safety nets. These systems aren’t perfect in Canada but are certainly better than not having them. The problem is we can’t call it socialism because many on our far right will twist anything with socialism included in it to equal literal nazis. A lot of those same far right also push for more police power, deportation, and overall a national “white Canadians” world view. Its fucking stupid.

And they always twist any type of congestion pricing into “they wont let you leave your neighborhood”

I’m a scrawny guy and i work the trades. I pulled some old equipment up some guys stairs alone and left it outside for him to dispose of. The guy had arms the size of my thighs. He genuinely asked me if I thought he’d have a hard time moving it into his trailer.

Things have definitely still gotten harder. Your framing isn’t great because it implies things were just as hard a decade ago, which many factors point that isnt the case. I’m not saying it was easy then or the 67% were right, but things have gotten worse.

He was being a dick. He wouldn’t let me have a turn in the closet. I had to fuck the girl myself it was so exhausting.

Also upbringing could significantly impact the development, or lack of, coping skills for individuals. A kid with autism growing up in an environment where they can develop skills to help manage their autism may grow up without ever knowing they were autistic. Same coud be on the reverse where stricit restrictions could reduce the coping skills and exacerbate some of the difficulties that come with autism.

4. It was Biden’s fault

They will hold on to their power while still in the hospital. Hell i wouldn’t be surprised if one in a coma had an aide “reading their mind” and still pushing an agenda.

Nah they would flip around and justify the second scenario in their heads. Just like they are defending him for high gas prices after blaming biden for high gas prices.

This law is great. However i think some level of legal reform needs to happen as well. The following is from the article.

Renaud was allegedly killed by her partner Johnathan Blanchet last September in Saint-Jérôme, Que. He’d been arrested dozens of times, convicted at least six times for incidents related to intimate partner violence, and accused of violating his probationary conditions about 15 times

This is a major case of repeat offences. Breaking probabtion 15 times is not a small deal. 6 convictions of the same violent crime is jarring. I’m not sure what the exact solution is. Longer sentences and mandatory rehabilitation before release at that point seems reasonable. I think it would also be reasonable to have random check ins with specialists to gauge the individuals risk of a repeat offence. At that point maybe even an “I beat my partners” tattoo on his forehead.

I meant more so if you want to hold a consistent conversation with someone, not just because it was a slow response. Also there are many people who prefer to call. If i call a friend and they dont pick up, they’ll just hit me back later, just the same as if they didn’t have time to respond to my text in the moment.

Most of the successful women I know under 30 seem to make more than the successful men under 30 I know. Of course this is annecdotal evidence and doesn’t account for lifestyle, upbringing, or the ratio of genders in my peer group.
