I'm mean, they are better than the non-degradable plastics, but it's not like they breakdown remotely fast. Those products are more greenwash, [airquotes] biodegradable

Doesn't pass a sniff test to me. They plan for 10 games in Canada - split between Toronto and Vancouver. BMO field has 26,000 capacity so assuming 5 games each, that's only 130,000 tickets. Sure some people will travel with non ticket holders; to counter that some will go to multiple games, and plenty of locals will want tickets. Even allowing for a long tail and seeing this as pure advertising to tourists, I cannot see how this makes a really a significant dent in revenues. That said if the cost is only 30mil then it's not particularly significant there either (the cities' budget is 16bn).

It's too bad the guy who tried to open a shop selling safe supply got shut down and died from a contaminated supply

I think we are saying the same thing. The best option is the recycling the toxic mess into valuable commodities and clean water.

Yes. Trying at least; (imo) Lemmy hasn't quite got the critical mass yet. The official Reddit app is so crappy that each time I find myself being drawn back in, I leave really quickly. I didn't expect me to find it that bad.

I'm not going to argue against anything you've said, I'm not going to try to fact check it, & I believe to be largely correct.

I also think its irrelevant.

In the next few years (couple of decades) we are going to see increased wildfire burning of the boreal forests in the global north which is going to release (what I believe is technically called) "a catastrophe fuck-ton" of gasses into the atmosphere. We've tipped over the tipping point.

Yeah, that's my thought. It's all well & good to say they can, but how? It's not a capability of the OS, so the only way this could work is some kind of carrier patch (?) or an unpatched bug.

Yeah. And it's having no noticeable effect on inflation ... it's almost like they are turning the wrong dial. The people hurting most with these interest rate rises are those who can least afford it and consequently have least effect on inflation.

Is the poster's IP address, system, or other system identifier/location, tracked?

If I have users giantshortfacedbear and throwaway123. Then it could be inferred or impled that they are same person if there are from the same IP or phone.

commies? hardcore social(ism)
