That's Swedish isn't it?

My dad had this brilliant idea for everyone to say "cheese" in the local language every time he took a selfie of us when we were travelling around Europe. Let's just say even though that was years ago in my childhood, I can look through that album and know instantly which photos were taken in Sweden!

I guess if you look at the track record of how tariffs have played out in the past, there has tended not to be a lot of price relief in going with domestic producers.

Take something like aluminum. While the US does have a domestic industry, it couldn't possibly meet demand in the short term at least. So industries hoping to source aluminum may initially flock to the domestic product, causing a run on it that raises prices. At the end of the day, they'll wind up paying something close to what the imported aluminum costs. This is the new price of aluminum. Live with it.

In the long term, the domestic industry may grow to the point that it displaces the imports. Will that lead to price relief? Again, uncertain. There are reasons why certain parts of the world produce much of the world supply of X, and cost of production is one of them. Also, counter-tariffs may reduce the growth potential of a domestic industry, leading to less investment.

It's not just the US of course. Everyone everywhere will be paying more for everything. Tariffs just suck.

So from what lemmy is reporting, we know West Texas has a measles outbreak and some giant fracking earthquake to contend with. Maybe toss in some radioactive exposure from a now-unmonitored nuclear facility and we've got the makings of a superhero origin story.

I like the Harvey's veggie burger. It's kind of old school, predating all the new plant-based ones, but it hits the spot for me and often goes on sale in the app.

I wish we had an Odd Burger where I live. My daughter and her vegan boyfriend are always saying great things about it.

If I'm not mistaken, coal mining itself is a major methane emitter. I wonder if they account for that in this comparison?

Have you tried ruby chocolate yet? I'm guessing you won't be impressed.

A good place to start might be to look at the huge number of ethnic dishes built around beans. People around the world have been inventive in this regard for centuries.

For the North American diet, it would help if fast food offered more bean options. There's Taco Bell and the like, I guess. And hummus and falafel are working their way into places that sell wraps. But while burger joints are increasingly offering veggie burgers that are presumably using some kind of bean or pea-based protein, I wonder why they don't try offering a chili? We have a chilli festival where I live and it's hugely popular with around half the recipes being bean-based.

Did you read the article? I have sympathy for this particular landlord. He's in deep shit for offering shelter to fellow migrants the system has clearly failed.

I tried it briefly. It certainly is a lot snappier than Atom ever was, I'll give it that. Seemed to be pretty good with Python, but when I opened some C++ source, it went around reformatting my indentation and replaces tabs with spaces. I will have to see if there is a way to disable all that, as I found it obnoxious.

Last time I was visiting family in Toronto, I noticed the speed limit on major streets had been lowered to 40 kph (25 mph). So the same as residential streets, in other words.

I asked my brother about this. He said that in spite of measures taken by the city to improve infrastructure, pedestrian and cyclist fatalities were on the way up due to the heavier and higher off the ground vehicles people drive today. The city admitted they did not expect people to drive that slow, but if they could start ticketing people doing over 60, that might save some lives? It's pretty sad.

Personally, I have a fair amount of faith in the CANDU design. The fact that they can operate using unenriched uranium is itself comforting relative to light water designs, and they employ a number of passive safeguards that would have prevented a Fukushima or what have you.

That said, I think we as Canadians tend to forget that most of us live near the border and there are nuclear plants on the other side as well. For example, where I live, the nearest plant is on the other side of Lake Ontario in upstate NY, as opposed to Darlington or Pickering as you might expect. And it might as well be the sister plant of Fukushima in terms of its design.

At any rate, though, I am generally supportive of building more reactors if done right.

I think this might be one of these things that's wasted on the young?

I want a full-on mech suit when I grow old. F*ck walkers and wheelchairs.
