Oregon Finally Legalizes Pumping Your Own Gas After 72 Years (www.thedrive.com)

Oregon’s Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be self-service. The bill, responding to industry staffing shortages, also prohibits charging more for full-service than self-service, likely...

kent_eh,

So… are we celebrating a bunch of people losing their jobs?

Here's why people are being so mean about the Titan going down - CBC (www.cbc.ca)

I have to say I’m not sure what they were hoping for, the discourse hasn’t felt overly mean by internet standards, but maybe that’s just my bubble. I’m sorry they died, but now that we know all the details it’s a bit like the guy that decided to hike up a lava field last year....

kent_eh, (edited )

I dunno. The US has always been big on their hero worship, and they also have a long tradition of celebrating the people who claim to have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps

kent_eh,

Pretty much everything from my bank to youtube.

kent_eh,

Woman. Of color. Democrat.

That’s a large part of why no republican (or conservative) is going to give her any respect.

kent_eh,

I’d also prefer Trump’s name never be on a ballot.

kent_eh,

Is it wrong that I’m happy when billionaires are disappointed?

kent_eh,

The thoughts I think about billionaires are not what they want people thinking.

kent_eh,

No more disinformation articles that conform to the biases of various family members being shoved into the feed.

Faux news and Breitbart will still be there. Just not the mainstream Canadian news sources.

Not that it changes anything for me, I nuked facebook years ago.

kent_eh,

I’m on 4 private trackers. (All invite only, none currently available)

My experience has been pretty good. They’re all relatively niche, and have a surprising ly deep library within their interest.

For me, the only drawback is that some days there can be a small group of seeders (and occasionally none) on certain files. But that can change day-to-day.

But the biggest bonus, I’ve never had to worry about getting a copyright warning on any thing I’ve got from any of them.

kent_eh,

Invites (at least on the trackers I’m on) are seldom available, and are generally only available to long term members with very high ratios who generally have the most vested interest in keeping the tracker free of narcs.

kent_eh,

Same here. It’s the same reason we dropped cable about 10 years ago.

Not enough value to justify the cost.

kent_eh,

Canada (or some specific cities here) has long been used as a test market for all manner of things.

Why ERs are under intense pressure across Canada — and how to help fix them (www.cbc.ca)

Emergency rooms across Canada are facing a growing crisis — staffing shortages, burnout, worsening wait times, closures, a lack of adequate funding and a surge of patients seeking urgent care threatening to overwhelm a system on the brink of collapse.

kent_eh,

Manitoba and Alberta conservatives quickly follow.

kent_eh,

And republicans won’t accept a word of it.

kent_eh,

Russian state associated media has confirmed it.

That doesn't mean a lot.

They don't have much of a working relationship with the truth.

kent_eh,

On the other hand, if Moscow and Wagner are busy killing each other, it'll make it a lot easier for Ukraine to put the border back where it belongs.

kent_eh,

Maybe their all-powerful god is a bit camera shy

kent_eh,

And then Vladdy comes to bat and changes everything!

kent_eh,

I wonder what they mean about including “other types of wheels”

I’ve seen some rollerbladers doing some pretty wild tricks.

kent_eh,

He has said multiple times that he doesn't like it, but it would be a stupid to not do it

Most youtubers don't like it, but the numbers don't lie: it works.

If your business model requires clicks and views, you are pretty much forced to do what is proven to work.

kent_eh,

I worry that we're moving closer to the society depicted in Idiocracy

kent_eh,

I hope not.

kent_eh,

It fragmented pretty early on

During the lifetimes of the people who originally wrote the John and Paul gospels.

kent_eh,

You just need to think outside the box. like these lads did: youtu.be/ReAa2WFm8Vc?t=16

kent_eh,

A man’s gotta have a vice or 2…
