Evaluating Canada's pledge to triple nuclear capacity
  • I think you are looking at this from a total energy lense, rather than an electricity lens.

    If we look at this strictly from electrical power generation: we currently have 14.6 TWH nuclear, 5.7 TWH Coal, and 11.8 TWH gas, oil, and others (2020, NR Can). So triple nuclear would be 43.8 TWH, more than enough to absorb both fossil fuel blocks (17.5 combined).

  • Elderly woman appeals licence suspension after incurring hundreds of penalty points in driving tests
  • Online Written test every year, in person written test every 2 years (the laws do change after all).

    Road test every 4-5 years.

    Bingo on the violations. In person written test for any infraction, road test for any infraction involving points.

  • Hundreds protest against proposed tents in Kanata for asylum seekers
  • Not white people in photo.

    Photo is of people white people brought here for indentured labour

    ;)

    Anyways, my greater point is that we've been an immigrant nation for a good while now. Little rude to pull the ladder behind us.

  • One more Lane Bro...
  • Since the province is "science basing" this. Do we have any data that supports the lanes are actually the throughput limiter? It's almost always the intersections.

    Can the province provide any data that adding a lane will improve motor vehicle traffic flow? Can the province provide any data that the car throughput increase will be more than the bicycle throughput that is lost?

  • #Shrinkflation [OC]
  • Neat. I feel like it removes some of the magic from decorating houses, but having never seen one it's an unvalidated guess.

    Not sure how the accessibility is any different, but my neighborhood tends to be a drop in location for most the city, so we're just kind of expected to met kids where they're at. Maybe we're just used to it?

  • Ontario is removing Bloor, Young and University bike lanes.
  • I wore my councilor an email saying: hey maybe our city should speak out about this bullshit, Guelph is writting a letter, we could do that?

    He got me back with: we're workshopping it; but letters are a bad idea, they piss of this government and then you just end up with random retribution.

    So those are the clowns we have running the province.

  • [misc] Call for help - Ontarians

    Ontarians, I need your help.

    This week I was pulled over by the police for having a kid's seat on my e-bike. I was informed this is illegal in Ontario as Sec. 38 of the HTA doesn't allow anyone under the age of 16 to be on a power-assisted or motor assisted bicycle.

    In 2021 the Moving Ontarians More Safely Act came out that separated power-assisted bicycles (like e-bikes) from motor assisted bicycles (like dirt bikes). This will finally allow child seats on e-bikes.

    Please call your MPP to get this bill that passed and assented 3 years ago into law.

    Details on the wording of the current and assented laws:

    currently the Highway Traffic Act, section 38, states : "No person who is the owner or is in possession or control of a motor assisted bicycle or power-assisted bicycle shall permit a person who is under the age of 16 years to ride on, drive or operate the motor assisted bicycle or power-assisted bicycle on a highwau"

    the Moving Ontarians More Safely Act, 2021, S.O. 2021, C. 26 - Bill 282 splits this into a few sections: "No person under the age of 14 years shall operate a power-assisted bicycle described in clause (a) of the definition" "No person under the age of 16 years shall operate a power-assisted bicycle described in clause (b) or (c)" and the new section 38.1: "No person under the age of 16 years shall ride on, drive or operate a motor assisted bicycle on a highway" From my perspective this will make e-bikes legal to have kids seats; and separate the class away from gas and electric dirt bikes.

    Ikea HULTARP rods

    Ikea's HULTARP rods and hooks can let you store things outside of the kitchen too.

    I came up with this solution to stick long, but flat and lightweight, items on the wall in a bathroom.

    Edit: note that Ikea has two sizes of HULTRAP hooks, so you might want to get a pack of each while figuring out what works best for your items.

    [Visibly upset woman] : I bet he's thinking about other women.

    [Man deep in thought] : We continue to see that force sensitivity passes generationally, but no one has bred for it.

    The Jedi deny sex to their order and recruit through child abduction.

    The Sith are obsessed with extending life and cloning, despite family legacies being perfectly viable methods to consolidate power.
