They've said, in an emergency, they could get everyone into the other crafts.

Great comparison, a dialect used by millions of people to a dead language. It really shows how much you care about the people who speak that dialect...

you attacked a person for being a bad example because they are struggling and not at rock bottom because people exist at the bottom.

That's not my intentions. I question her choices, but that doesn't mean she has an option that would 100% fix her situation. It would probably be hard to find a 2-bedroom for $1500/mo and she'd still have over 50% of her paycheque going to housing.

My concern is articles highlighting cases like this allow people to disregard the housing crisis as just people unwilling to tighten their belts. Like "stop eating avocado toast" or "cancel Disney+", there's no quick fix.

Maybe this is being too cold-hearted, but we tend to choose pets that live a fraction of a human's life. There are many animals which could make good pets except they live as long as humans (if not a lot longer).

I think what this article was something like,

The biggest tragedy of pet ownership is that sometimes those pets die far too soon due to illness.

Totally agree! I've often wondered why New York doesn't do this. Even retro-fitting exists streets wouldn't be that hard. Remove one parking spot and you could put garbage, recycling, and even organic waste there! And while there's capital costs in setting this up, I expect savings would more than make-up for this by having to pickup less often and only ~1 stop a block instead of each individual unit.

Here's a NotJustBikes video about how waste is handled in Amsterdam if anyone's unfamiliar with these underground bins.

It's under 60% and continues to shrink as our energy needs grow.

At least in North America I think they were the only brand selling passenger vehicles diesel engines.

And I'm saying that's wrong. The title accurately describes the article.

I'm pretty sure it's been months since that was an issue on Jerboa. I wouldn't say Jerboa is rock solid, but it's my app of choice. However, as a longtime Sync for Reddit user, I'm happy to see Sync gaining traction. The more the merrier!

Supposedly, Netflix makes more from the ads tier:

In Q2, as in the previous quarter, Netflix’s advertising tier generated higher average revenue per user (ARPU) overall than the Standard ad-free plan ($15.49/month), implying more than $8.50/month in ad revenue per subscriber, Neumann said.

Where are you getting $17K from? According to Kia's website, they start at $19,933. And that's pretty much the cheapest new car in Canada. That's way out of reach for many people, and the used market is insane.

Earlier this year, my 2005 Civic with 301,000km was totaled. I bought it in 2013 for $5,000 with 121,000km. From my research, if I had sold it before it was totalled, I probably could have gotten more than $5,000 for it, even with the extra decade and 180,000km.
