    Pearson Airport is still like that at the dropoffs and arrivals areas... luckily there is a cell phone waiting lot now where you can hang out until you know your buddy is at the pickup area.

    I don't know how many last minute mail in ballots there are, but any mail ins received after Wednesday is still not counted. For some of these races it could possibly make a difference.

    On solo outdoors-y trips I pack twice as much food and water as I need, a rescue whistle and I inform a trusted relative before and after a remote trip who can get in touch with emergency services if I don't call back by the morning after.

    At home I honestly would be screwed by an earthquake or major catastrophe... at least I have an up-to-date fire extinguisher and first aid kit in a readily accessible area.

    You may be correct, but if I'm not fully convinced there are proper bike lanes both ways in OOP's post.

    If the cyclist provision is a "sharrow" then the bike should be in the centre of the lane. If the cyclist is turning left without proper turning infrastructure they can be in the centre of the lane. If it's a divided lane then they should be on the side.

    I'm glad this community is a thing. There is !fediverselore@lemmy.ca for lore, drama and debacles, which is interesting to see when there is conflict between multiple somewhat reasonable sides, but when it's just mods behaving silly it doesn't feel as right a place.

    Eventually they demand unwavering fealty to their, and only theirs alone, lineage.

    We don't even have to wait for this eventuality. Trump is the embodiment of this process pressed into an ultrapure essence already. He demands fealty to one person, himself.

    I'd choose the circle... you're telling me there's not enough time to unbind the reincarnating demigods from the track to end the suffering?

    Or is the real problem that we need to keep them there to prevent them from becoming unkillable menaces to society?

    However, the Israeli military apparently used that Hamas information to bomb the Hamas house a second time and then targeted the Hamas ambulance as it attempted to rescue the Hamas survivors, killing the Hamas doctor and several Hamas children.

    Hope this is better now. -IDF

    My take is that with Harris courting endorsements from many formerly rank-and-file Republicans, this drives the point home. If anybody is still confused that Trump's party is VERY different from what the Republican Party used to be, the Cheney's endorsing her should settle that. Anybody still unconvinced is wilfully ignorant at minimum.

    People think vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is nice. But is he... too nice? From his dangerously folksy upbringing, to the National Guard, to teaching America's future enemies in China, Tim Walz's "nice" act isn't fooling anyone. This is the Dailyshowography of Tim Walz.

    Hey everyone, just a reminder in case you hadn't seen it or forgot from months ago, the Canadian official e-petition is at this link as part of the Stopkillinggames.com campaign. Maybe we can get some clarity from our government on what our rights as consumers are when buying access to video games. Signature collection ends at 9:30am ET/6:30am PT on Thursday 5 Sept 2024.

    Some Lemmy user at one point had asked about a "multi-paste" feature, if there was a way to use keyboard shortcuts to display multiple clipboard items and copy/paste them out at will (this user mentioned similar to RTS games they like to play). ~~If someone can find that post, can you notify them and direct them here, please? I'm having trouble locating it but I recollect that it was within the last 3 months.~~ Edit: [I found the post!](https://lemmy.ml/post/18969027) Somehow this was stuck in my mind when I accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut, that showed my last 5 copied items. This isn't exactly what the user was looking for but I thought I'd publicize it here. If you use Fcitx (because you need multi-language input) from the fcitx5 packages, then you may already have installed the clipboard add-on. You can use fcitx with just one keyboard layout. By default, it's activated by Ctrl+semicolon and shows the 5 last entries, but the number can be configured.

    The motion was shared here earlier: https://lemmy.ca/post/25243197 There were 35 speakers in support, 1 speaker in opposition. The amendment and motion were supported unanimously by councillors. There were hundreds of comments received, largely in support. The 49th Avenue, 41st Avenue, 4th Avenue, Granville Street, and Hastings Street corridors were talked about most. The amendment added Granville Street to the list of corridors of focus, and inclusion of TransLink's report for city staff reference. Another important point was the request for automated buslane enforcement.

    Chapter 19 of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 edition of Mandate for Leadership [(Direct PDF link)](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf) is full of policies that would be terrible for the US. Highlights: * Replace national transportation infrastructure projects with a flat transportation subsidy formula to each state (most of whose DoTs don't know how to do anything with money other than build highways) * Stop funding mass transit, give public funds to Rideshare companies like Uber/lyft instead. * Preserve single family home zoning at all costs. Each state and city knows what is best for their people, better than the federal government, except when states and cities do something that conservatives don't like. * Screw California in particular. * Trying to reduce the number of traffic fatalities is bad if anyone dare suggests that we have to drive a little bit slower.
