Just a minor nitpick: the acronym is SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States), like POTUS.

In Alberta you can’t refuse to let someone exploit oil resources found on your property

TBF, I'm pretty sure that's how it works throughout the country. The title on my home in Ontario has easements for potential minerals/resources as well.

The systemic problems are a stroad which seems designed for high speeds, yet with many dangerous points of interactions with pedestrians and other drivers. There seems to be no infrastructure to protect pedestrians and no design features to limit speeds. As you point out, this wasn't caused by a tank of a vehicle but a standard sedan.

This is in stark contrast to Vision Zero, a strategy where it's nearly impossible for vehicle collisions to cause fatalities. It doesn't matter if a driver is impaired, we have the technology to engineer away these deaths. From the images in article, the road seems to follow almost none of the tenants of Vision Zero.

From his Mastodon page:

So he starts each of his post with an emoji showing which language he's posting in. I know there's also a language tag built into Mastodon, but he's chosen to use the emoji

On that note, considering the original engines are similar I wonder if OpenRCT2 and OpenLoco have any big similarities in the code base as well…

Probably! From the About OpenLoco page:

The OpenLoco project started in early 2018 by the same group of people behind OpenRCT2.

Israel has not ratified the Rome Statute, so they're in a very different circumstance than Peru.

Can you explain? As a Mint user with really old hardware, I appreciate using the LTS kernel. However, I also appreciate them giving users other options.

Inflation isn't a tax. It wouldn't go away even if you eliminated all taxes.

I don't know what your income tax rates is but 30% is pretty high, you must make good money!

If you have new hardware, why wouldn't you use the Edge ISO?

They have a fairly new version called Edge that ships with a newer kernel (currently 6.5).

They're discontinuing it in 2026.

Which has been discontinued. They have said they'll bring back a EUV for the 2026 model year, but we'll see if that comes to fruition.

I think it's more of a corollary that phone companies can incentivize people to buy more than they need. I live in Canada, where carrier locks have been outlawed for a decade, so we don't typically get $100s off the phone, but they do often give interest free financing. This pushes people to get a brand new, top-of-the-line Galaxy or iPhone, when all they do is simple stuff that any basic smartphone could do. They just get used to paying "only an extra $50/mo" so once that phone is paid off, they finance a brand new, top-of-the-line smartphone.

Probably has to suck-up inorder to get products early so his reviews can be viewed first.

No. Apple and most major tech companies are pretty good about giving reviewer samples to anyone with a large enough audience. The only thing that gets you disqualified is breaking the moratorium and releasing your review early.

What conducting softball interviews gets you is more interviews.

This is really interesting in contrast to where I live in Ontario, Canada. A municipality wanted an injunction to make it crystal clear they could evict a homeless encampment on municipal property. Instead, they got a judgement that doing so would violate those people's Charter rights. This ruling means basically every municipality in the province now legally has to do something about the homelessness crisis.

What packages are broken? I haven't run into any.

P.S. I think Snaps are now the fuss, so I still think Mint is Ubuntu with the fuss.

I'm generally in the same boat. I don't think of Mint's packages as "old", but "stable". I've had a few cases where I want the latest features, and there are easy ways to get new versions. Dialing down instability isn't so easy.

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.

I'm pretty sure she'd be in the same situation in the US. Assuming the house was jointly owned and she had the ability to buy out her ex-Spouse's equity or get the whole home in the divorce, there would still be a change of ownership, so she'd need to get a new mortgage solely in her name.

I know I've heard of couples splitting up and coming up with creative solutions, like continuing to jointly own the house, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

You make a lot of assumptions about me and my experiences, and frankly, they're 100% wrong. I wasn't trying to insinuated that her situation is easy, I even say it's "making tough decisions".
