The correct solution to this is to build more high capacity roads, but after decades of hearing about all the money big gov't wastes nobody wants to talk about infrastructure spending...
That's a good plan, unfortunately you'll see stuff like this happening. Various pro-bicycle groups whining because they're building more roads but not including bike lanes(which the vast majority wouldn't use, or would break the laws while riding on aka running stops/traffic lights/cutting off cars). Environmentalists whining and crying over it, and demanding environmental impact studies for 10+ years. And homeowners who live no where near it, crying over the noise pollution and how it's causing their children to become autistic. I wish I was making all of those up, but I've seen all of those happen where I grew up here in Canada(South-western Ontario). So what happens? Road gets busier as the city grows, lane and traffic flow remain the same, and the city then starts experiencing traffic jams and peak flow periods. People complain, usual assholes come out of the woodwork and the cycle starts anew until the city has enough ignores all the BS, and starts building then they get slapped with a lawsuit by one of those groups and building stops.
One of the roads I used to drive to work on went to a heavy industrial area of the city, it was standard 2-lane road, built back in the 50's when the city bought the land and expanded the town. In 1978 & 1981 they tried to widen the road to 4 lanes to handle the truck traffic and were hit with environmentalists(the area is mainly peat bogs and swamps), though the road wouldn't come anywhere near it. City gave up. Jump up to this year, the road is so busy that along the 4km stretch an average of 8,000 trucks drive down it every 12hrs, it's literally bumper to bumper when you add car traffic and the city now has such a huge problem that the roads can't be shut down because big companies have major part warehouses/manufacturing plants that produce food/machinery components/etc and several bigbox stores have only that way to access their supply docks. Now they're not sure what they can do. And that's all because environmentalists have also blocked them from building flow-off streets as well.
The solution appears that they're going to build temporary roadways across the properties using gravel and steel plates while they tear up the entire roadway and deal with any fallout when the time comes and fuck every whiner over it. Also helps that they recently elected a new mayor and city council the previous ones were all thrown out in the previous municipal election in a crushing defeat. Police are also ordered to take a no-nonsense approach to any protesters trying to stop construction and will arrest them under the TPA(tresspass to property act).
You shouldn't be shocked by that. Progressives over the last 10 years have showing that the only tolerance they accept, is the one that echos their own voice. And yet they wonder why liberals and non-affiliated leftists are running towards independents and the right.
BASIC on a Vic20 myself. I learned by looking at the stuff that was published in monthly commodore magazines then changing stuff to see what happened, then branching out to writing my own programs. COBOL and FORTRAN I learned at home out of my dad's old university textbooks from the 70's, since the courses he took required both languages. These days? I just learn what I need to learn to keep going, sometimes I'll just look at some new up and coming language and learn it just for something to do.
I'd always wished as a kid I could have looked at the stuff on the old commodore game cartridges though to see if people had put their own secrets in them.
I think these stories need to be kept in the public's eye. But the only thing that could possibly change is people's behavior, and that's not so likely, no matter how outrageous the provocations become.
Is that why the stories about the murder-suicide over apparent stolen code has already dropped off everyone's radar in the media because one person wasn't the "right kind of person" to paint the narrative with?
That's for identical loves. About $9-14 for the artisian organic seven grain loaf. Depending on the brand for flour, it's around $75 for a 25kg bag these days of brand name, might be a bit less some weeks. Travel a bit to a place like bulk barn and you can usually get it at 2/3's the cost, sometimes 1/2. Stuff like yeast can be...weird as well. You can be easily looking at $9/jar, or $5 jar next week. Want the good bit? I'm in the most densely packed part of Canada(between Windsor, ON and Montreal, QC).
Up next: Region blocking people from viewing content online causes piracy too! Though water isn't wet, it may be a fine powdery liquid in light of future surveys.
A lot of National Part Distribution Center's(NPDC's aka the big auto company warehouses) have already tried all this stuff(cameras, RFID's, drones, fully automated systems, etc), walmart could save themselves time and effort and simply look at trials that GM/Ford/Chrysler/Honda/Toyota places and find out that none of it works and people on the ground does. Or they can just enjoy wasting the money on it. If it's one thing I've learned it's that when a company's top people get an idea in their head that something is a great idea, they'll continue to try it until it fails for them just like everyone else.
You get extra iron in your diet in the form of rust, but in general the water is just fine, you can't even taste it. I grew up in a house that had galvanized iron pipes, far as I know they're still fine(since my parents still live there) and were installed in 1906, the city had galvanized pipes put in the streets in 1880 and they held up very well, they were replaced with copper in 2005. The copper lines? Not so much, two breaks, and two cases of sinkholes forming because it washed out under the street. The only downside is that they rust from the inside out, but fail less catastrophically compared to copper if there is a flaw in the piping and don't have a mixed-metal problem either.
Nice troll bait. You of course realize that California(especially southern California) has some of the highest heavy metal contamination in urban environments in the US right. Everything from mercury(which was used in gold mining) and arsenic(again mining), to lead used in pipes. Which explains a lot especially the complete insanity that continues to come out of that area.
So you are a Canadian in Canada, watching the US media, and complaining about what you see. That sounds like a personal problem.
So you're saying that when something happening a particular country, you don't turn to their news to find out what. Rather you wait for it to be filtered through the lens of your media so they can tell you what they're saying. Gotcha, sure explains a lot.
Funny how you seem to think that the most important detail of a shooting story is the person's race, as if that means something in terms of condemning/exonerating persons of that/other races.
Funny how you seem to have taken that as the most important thing out of the post I wrote. Boy oh boy, that's sure one mess I'm making. But it sure seems to me you're very focused on race though. So it's also my fault that the media was painting that picture yesterday? Damn, didn't know I had such power. Oh wait...I don't. Don't be a retard, or would you prefer I just say "don't be mentally slow" or maybe I can point you in the direction of a safe space instead?
The problem here is you. Try changing the channel.
Really? Guess that's why the US media was all over it and why the cancuk media wasn't and wasn't trying to paint that narrative. So let's recap: It's my problem that your media, in the US is trying to paint a narrative, but when I change the channel to another US station...they're also painting the same narrative so again that's my fault. Brilliant!
Funny how all of the media yesterday came right out screaming that it was a white male who had committed the shooting...nope, no evidence of bias here guys. None at all...anyone else want to bet that since the shooter is no longer white in the news cycle, you won't hear about it anymore. It's kinda like those ~400 people and 21 dead shot in Chicago in the last month.
What a fucking mess. You guys in the US really need to get your shit together over the media and their agenda carrying.
No, I'm not saying it. You're projecting. I'm saying that the actual food prices haven't gone up significantly.
Really? So when bread here in Canada was $1/loaf, 2 years ago and now the same brand is $5/loaf that's just projecting? How about in central Florida when I could get a loaf for $0.88 and it's now $4.25/loaf. Still projecting? When was the last time you saw a tin of soup for under $1.50-2/can? 3 years ago I could buy it for $0.0.33-0.45 both here in Canada and in the US.
FYI you're now trying to move the goal posts, also general inflation doesn't track food prices in the core inflation numbers. It also doesn't count a variety of other things like some core energy costs.
What kind of beef are you buying and how are you buying it? Seriously I don't know what it costs in stores as I get my beef from directly from a processor and purchase the fraction of the animal from the farmer directly but unless it is some of the ultra prime cuts it shouldn't be costing that much. If that is for ground beef, chuck roast, or round steaks quit shopping at Whole Foods in San Fransisco or New York, if that price is for tenderloin then quit your bitching.
That's lean ground beef, bought at your local supermarket in places like Florida and Ontario(Cdn). More expensive in Ontario as you might expect, but no that's not at Whole Foods and so on. It can actually be more expensive from a local butcher, anywhere from $0.50-$2/lbs for medium to lean, depending on the company. see post here and the attached imgur link, that's from the winn-dixie(used to be called sweetbay) that I shop at down there, it's actually a bit cheaper this week then last week.
Sure, 15k a pop, but what is the space rent and how high has that risen in the past 10 years? My parents did the mobile home development park for about 7 years before they were able to get out and into an actual house. They still have an hoa but they really wanted to live in an organized neighborhood (I don't get it myself).
What really pushed them out of the mobile home park living was the incredibly high space rent. It had gone from something around 500 a month to around 1200 a month over about 7 years. It was retarded
No buy-in, lot rental if you want to go that route is around $400/mo that includes property maintenance. Has a basic HOA bit, but nothing insane. Keep your property looking good on the outside, if you can't the guys who do the weekly maintenance are available for hire. Don't use loud colours that type of stuff. If you want to buy into the park it's $40k. Property taxes are around $138/year in both cases whether renting the lot or have bought into the park. How high has it risen in the last 10 years? About $50 if I remember right, it actually went down $5 last year.
You can get grass fed 93% lean for $6 a pound. Where the hell are you buying beef?
Oh that's not lean grass fed. You can bet on it, that's grain or corn fed, couldn't tell you for sure without tasting the meat though. Grass fed though? Here in Canada easily $15lbs, US I've never seen it under $12lbs down in central-Florida. It's $7-8lbs generally for run of the mill lean beef though, not tube beef just packaged from their in-store butcher. Feel free to look at my other post up thread, I posted an imgur link from the winn-dixie that I shop at down there, it's $5.79lbs on sale if you have their fancy card.
You can not. There's no such data. And it looks like you're the prime reason for the article - it's just another step for the cognitive dissonance to become unbearable and cause a suicide.
Really? So you're saying that the $6lbs for ground beef isn't really $6, or are you saying that wages haven't decreased(in the US on average by $3-5k in the last 6-7 years) and in turn it's all just a figment of imagination.
Let me give you some help: You've seen food, energy, general goods all increase. You make the statement that this is simply due to inflation, as a reminder inflation isn't calculated against all items in an economy(hint: most of those data sets are using the "core inflation number"). Food for instance isn't calculated in that metric. On top of that, in the US wages have decreased in the last 7 years between $3-8k depending on where you live. That means people are bringing in less money and paying more for food.
Oh well, let's see? How about when you guys in the US elected Carter. That was a brilliant move, of course he did get beat easily by Regan then there's the Dole move. You must be pretty young, but luckily there are plenty of ye olde news paper archives online these days so you can see what an actual "worse then today" election looks like.
The same reason why you don't sign contracts without reading them or try to write a program without knowing a language. But hey, what do us old people know? Besides that wages have been decreasing, food prices are increasing and it's looking more like 1979 every day.
Congratulations on showing how much of an idiot you are. You don't even understand the difference between whole foods pricing, CPI or perishable goods, let alone the dry index. Go on, take a look at the actual indexing prices, I'll wait.
FYI, I live in Canada. I occasionally spend part of my winter in Florida. When the local Sweetbay aka Winn-dixie has a special on and beef is $6/lbs, you're really showing you don't know what you're talking about. This of course is this weeks prices, which are slightly better then normal...but not by much. Yes, very cheap at the non-whole foods in one of the poorer areas of central Florida.
To me it feels like the mid to late 70's did. Ugh, that was ugly. I was 10 going into 1980, and I could sense it was ugly.
I wasn't 10, more like 4 but hey. My parents told me the stories of the crap they went through during that period and I can remember bits and pieces of what stuff was like here in Canada too. Wage and price controls for one thing, and my dad was mentioning the other day that everything feels like 1976 right now. Even in Florida(central) where I own property, it still hasn't recovered from 2008 and when I was down there early this year there were just as many forclosures popping up as there were in 2007, lot of people I knew from the US that were snowbirds weren't there this year -- they couldn't afford it. About 45% of the trailers in the park where my parents and uncle live in the winter are up for sale, they're mostly owned by Americans. They can't even sell them for $15k/pop, the place is amazingly nice too(50 plus, co-op, pools, rec centre, gym, secured compound, etc).
