You didn't read past the first paragraph.

you can just hook the faucet up to your device, and let the water pressure drive the generator directly. In either case, for a bathtub faucet, this works out to almost 200 watts, or $25 per month

They're stealing oil tankers that leave the country and emptying the oil in the US

IEEE style pizza, because then the ingredients appear in the order in which they're used in the recipe instead of alphabetical by author.

officers were forced to use a conducted energy weapon and pepper spray on Schiller to gain compliance.

Despite the frigid temperature of -30 degrees Celsius, the Mounties say Schiller repeatedly refused to get up from the ground and get into the police vehicle voluntarily, resulting in severe frostbite.

They tased and pepper sprayed the guy until he fell over on the snow then left him on the ground (likely holding him there with their knees), pepper sprayed and in pain until he got frostbite and had the gall to blame HIM.

ACAB. They barely even try to hide it.

Nobody thinks involuntary care will fix anything except having to see homeless people. The people advocating for involuntary care know what they're doing and they're despicable. If this doesn't work they'll just send them to jail.

They also know that involuntary care and jails are MORE expensive than housing. They don't care. Suffering is the point.

What are you doing step dancer?

Shut the fuck up with the false equivalences. Let's start taxing the ultra wealthy, then we can figure out how to tackle global wealth inequality.

You're not going to make any headway antagonizing half the population in the Western world. These are people who in many cases have a hard time living a decent life even if they're in the global 1%. They don't live in Haiti, they don't pay $10 for their x rays.

That's incorrect on every level. There is a set "basket of goods" upon which CPI inflation is set. Grocery prices went up, other items went down. The net was zero, but grocery chains are fucking us over for profit because we need to eat to live.

Life and relationships are complicated. You don't know how all the work is distributed in their lives. Maybe she does everything else and feels like he should do more. Maybe he does it all and is frustrated. Maybe they split the chores in a way that makes them all happy. You simply don't know.

Stop giving advice when you don't know.

He can literally pardon them though so I guess you are a country of men... Or at least one man anyways....

But he previously said "Sex is for making children. Any man who has sex with women because it ‘feels good’ is gay".... So that doesn't seem to match with him saying you're supposed to have sex with many women for fun.... What the hell is he saying?!?!

 

I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.

It's so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!

I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.

 

The laughable Bank of Canada report even includes the line

Why did this increase in markups not contribute significantly to inflation? We show that markup growth reached its highest level because of a contraction in firms’ costs [...] during the pandemic-related public health interventions

So when their costs go down they keep the prices the same and pocket the difference, BoC report verdict "profit growth without inflation". So what happens when costs go back up?

We observe a mild contribution of markup growth to inflation in 2021, partially explained by demand rebounding faster than costs. However, the fact that markup growth fell to zero the following year indicates that firms were likely smoothing out their price increases [...] rather than leveraging increases in market power.

So when the costs go back up, they pass 100% of the cost to the consumer and keep their new higher profit margins (no change in markup). BoC verdict "the inflation has nothing to do with profit growth". Amazing!

If industry follows this "price ratchet" mechanism profit margins can go to infinity "without causing inflation" according to BoC. Absolutely galaxy brain levels of economic genius.

They really think we're idiots.
