‘ls’ is an abbreviation for ‘list’, not an acronym. Like copy -> cp, and the other keystroke saving abbreviations.

Ah, so now I have 7 workspaces that don’t survive reboots! Wonderful.

Bookmarks would be easier at this point.

Not when window history in only 3 windows long. That deletes 90% of my tabs instantly.

Managing that would be a nightmare too. Good luck alt-tabbing to the one you want.

It’s very strange that teeth are considered optional. Eyes too.

The blank ballot can be easily remedied by allowing the spoiling of ballots, or marking the vote in a way that doesn’t indicate any choice.

I think this is a reasonable and valuable method of expressing political opinion, especially as this form can be counted. It also ensures that it was a deliberate choice and not just apathy.

Along the same path as incentivising people to vote, perhaps it should be cities/voting areas that get punished somehow for low voter turnout.

Expatriation means losing basically every right in the charter, and is politically equivalent to execution. This reason (failing to vote) is also heavily biased towards people with less control over their lives, and disrupting someone from voting could be used as a weapon.

I can see punishments for failing to vote, but such an extreme response should be reserved for those who explicitly choose not to vote, and such a system would need a rigorous judgment to act on.

Having such a thin line between citizenship and expatriation is too dangerous. On one hand, choosing not to vote may be considered a serious enough act, but on the other hand there are dozens of reasons a vote can fail to be cast, and they would all need to be addressed before something as serious as expatriation is considered as a punishment.

It’s full implementation is unacceptable as a hard rule. I agree with doing a lot to ensure everyone votes, but removing rights for reasons beyond one’s control is the opposite of helpful.

I could see this if every opportunity was made to allow it.

Loosing citizenship due to a debilitating illness is completely unacceptable for example.

I think it has to do with the flimsy paper cups and being spill resistant. To drink out of those cups directly means no lid, whichakes spills a lot more likely and far worse.

I have seen some places use lids you can drink from (usually only coffee lids, but costco has them for fountain drinks), but that’s still plastic waste almost necessary for drinking.

Expatriation is a bit extreme, especially when we don’t even have a voting holiday. I agree with a strong incentive though, perhaps a 1-3% tax rebate?

It doesn’t pay taxes.

A fine for every day the problem persists, at a reasonable 1% of daily revenue, enforced by ban.

It’s kind of a thing in certain animals, but not wolves like originally claimed. The certain animals here being mostly primates, so it’s even more applicable.

That said, the politics of social primates are notoriously complex and many cultures have unique behaviors within the species, so there aren’t really any universal rules particularly among the most social groups.

There’s a reason the guy in the meme is dressed like a clown.

There are a few, but they’re rare. I also have no idea if they’re any good.

I would love to see oil go the way of asbestos and just be a problem for the next 100 years, but unless a lot of people get really cool with nuclear power and plastic alternatives, we’re going to be using a decent amount of oil products for a while. I would rather avoid a situation like Germany, where we build a dozen coal plants because a foreign nation decided to stop playing nice.

I fully agree that less oil in general is a good thing, and shifting from heavy oils to lighter oils is also a good thing. But if we’re going to be extracting and using something anyway, I think processing it ourselves is an improvement as well, and it will somewhat help keep the money AB & SK spend on oil in Canada and reduce our dependence on long pipelines and foreign industry.

Reducing our dependence on oil in the first place would definitely be better, but if we only take the best steps we won’t get anywhere.

Both of RBC’s colours are up there, and neither of them are RBC!

Now might be the best time to build our own refineries.

I wish our high was our own supply; we sell crude to the US & China and buy petrol products back!
