No relation to Loblaws I’m sure

Very high paying jobs may skew this number. Median wage is probably the more useful way to look at country level pay

I imagine the aggressive “feature” upsell popups that get more and more invasive with every new windows release

I tried a train from Ontario to Quebec this year and found exactly that. Flying was slightly more expensive but would have been a better experience on every dimension

I am thrilled to see an example of regulators actually putting work into blocking monopolistic mergers. Hopefully this is the beginning of many.

After watching the video, I thought it was pretty solid. Only 1 of the 4 was mostly bad, the rest just had sharp edges that the viewer needed to be comfortable with before launching in.

I’m not saying Linus isn’t guilty of clickbait and junk content to some degree, but this one felt good to me :)

Negative information is still information. Knowing something isn’t worth the time/money can still be helpful.

Disclaimer: didn’t watch the video in question

I’m so sorry, I can’t imagine how you bear it

yeah agreed, but he’s not the only clown in the room

which clown?

I can do notions, hunches, and my old shoes. Final offer

I don’t have anything important to say, what do you want from me? :P

Does the speed limit count if you’re walking?

For a fair comparison I’m assuming that most people will speed on the highway

I agree with you mostly.

But I’ll point out that 200km/h is still ~50% higher than highway speeds, with no traffic, and you can still focus on other things. So even low end rail is still better than driving.

I’m not even sure I mind low speed rail. I just want more and cheaper lines to everywhere. It’s way nicer than busses.

High speed can come afterwards if we can get public thinking behind trains as regular transport

Isn’t a more honest phrasing that Canada Post the public service costs 1bn/year to have in the country?

I think i still prefer having a mail system even if it costs money. Same as having police and roads.

I really enjoyed reading this, in a grim sad kind of way. It’s a fascinating peek into the living conditions of a different era.

I don’t know how to explain why I like Hemingway. His work just feels hyper true in a way. Him and Steinbeck both stay with me for a while after I put the book down.

Reddit doesn’t seem to understand what their platform is for. If people are adding “reddit” to the end of google searches, it shows that they want brands to talk less, and real people to talk more.
