At current NS Power rates, on paper it costs $0.06 to charge my ebike from empty (I probably use ~20% of a charge on a heavy commuting day, so let's say $0.01 per day) Or, 1-2 Timmies runs per year in transportation costs, if you're measuring in Canadian.

I think at this point you probs want to take him seriously and literally.

Canada is woefully unprepared for a 25 percent across the board Trump tariff that is coming, if not today, then soon. We need to prepare, and fast. Here’s how: thehub.ca/2025/01/20/ken-boe…

You’d think people don’t want to live in pods. But when you suggest policies which would provide meaningful alternatives to the pods, they become very agitated. Even angry.

"The RCMP has spoken to the reporter to correct the story."

how is there a near limitless supply of money from people who can get duped into buying crypto shitcoins

If this was true Doug Ford would also be underwater. I don't think voters are really there yet on housing

Trudeau let the problem of housing shortages drag on for so long without doing anything that it looks like his party will get wiped out in the next election. Parties will destroy themselves rather than allow more housing.

I figured out why LLMs are so good at medicine. It's all just pattern recognition. When people say "AI is just a pattern recognizer" I'm just thinking "What do you think diagnosing diseases is?" It's recognizing a cluster of symptoms and labs - a pattern if you will. No wonder ChatGPT soared past doctors before almost any other prestigious job. Now compare that to other non-critical characteristics, like "bedside manner" and "availability." ChatGPT (and Claude) have crossed the four criteria for economic replacement. BETTER - ChatGPT alone provided better diagnosis FASTER - ChatGPT is available 24/7 (human doctors are not) CHEAPER - ChatGPT costs $20 per month SAFER - ChatGPT has a 90% accuracy, human doctors only 73% How much money do you think will be wasted by slowing down this transition? How many lives do you think will be lost by needless human mistakes? How much unnecessary suffering do you think will occur by not promoting this quickly?

Please be careful buying presidential meme coins (can't believe I'm saying this).

This architect would like to build 3 units of housing and a cafe on a vacant lot. The city is requiring a hearing for this, when this should be as-of-right development. The hearing is on Jan 21st at 6pm. Please attend, support the development and oppose red tape on new housing.

The anti-vaccine movement will tell you to “follow the money!” Just not their money…

Europe must integrate and become a superpower, argues Sanna Marin at the Pendulum Summit. "We've gone to a new ideological world. Power matters"

Wow if this replicates

This has gotta be the first time an outgoing administration won 9-0 at SCOTUS to defend its policy and said “oh no.”

Trump, ideologically, is a lot closer to Peron, Milei’s opposite in Argentine politics than he is to Milei. The Milei-Trump comparison makes sense only if you think about politics purely in terms of anti-establishment vibes and no one would be that simplistic……oh wait.
