  • My link opened automatically in reader mode and it was a shit article - 3 paragraphs and clearly from the initial news release with zero details about anything.

    I could see people reading that lack of any information and just downvote without putting in the effort to open it in a full browser.

  • This is weird. The links all show other news agencies, and you see the same at the top of the page when you follow the links. Is MSN re-hosting the stories from all these agencies or are the agencies opting in for this?

    Nothing like seeing an Associated Press link and having it open on msn.com!! 🤡

  • I’ve read a lot of skepticism over the years about how carbon capture is a gimmick that doesn’t work but helps prop up the fossil fuel industry as a greenwashing scam.

    And then I see something like this:

    The company is so confident this will be successful that it's already begun initial work on two commercial projects, one in Quebec and the other in Manitoba. That's despite not yet knowing how they will be fully financed or which technology will be put to use.

    “We don’t know if it works or how we’ll pay for it.”

  • City bylaw officials, however, say the regulations aren’t new and should have been enforced all along.

    That’s totally reasonable. So now that the oversight has been corrected and the social impact identified, carve out a fucking exception and make it legal. The volunteers have been operating like that long enough that clearly their system is working without causing bigger problems.

  • If I were in a fire and suffocating and somehow had a long tube in a bathroom, I think I’d stick the hose out the window and breathe that air instead.

    And if I found myself:

    • trapped in a bathroom
    • suffocating due to smoke from a fire
    • i have a long flexible tube
    • no windows in the bathroom AND
    • I’m somehow not going to burn to death

    Then I’ll just fucking die. It’s fine. That’s such an edge case I’m not gonna worry about it.

  • My condo building just got rid of the company that meters our water. After years of this we could finally break the contract.

    My water bill usage was something like $15/mo and they had an admin fee of $13/mo. In a building of like 150 apartments, those guys were raking in like $2k a month from us for keeping their automated shit plugged in.

    The managers said they would just stop metering and our monthly fees would pay the bill. After a year, they would adjust our monthly rates to balance it out.

    They never had to balance it out - that’s how little the overall water usage cost was.
