I think he means Steam’s refund policy is not available to anyone outside the US because they only implemented it to comply with a US law, so like if you are in a country without similar consumer protection laws they don’t offer the refund policy. (its not just the US btw, places like Canada and the EU also have the Steam refund policy)

So in other words just lying? You really answered a question you had no idea the answer to with “yes.”
Is this petition online? Anyone have a link?
I’ll believe it when I see it
Middle density housing is severely lacking in most of Canada. Montréal is one of the few cities that does have a bit of mid-density housing and its housing costs are lower than most other similar sized cities. Obviously there’s many more factors but I definitely think mid density is important for reducing this crisis.
It was a just a regular duel, the point isn’t to kill but basically “touch” the other guy like in a fencing match. The other guy got hit twice and survived but had to go to his wedding the next day.
The reason this is interesting is because it’s the reverse of gas cars. Typically the best efficiency of a gas vehicle is on the highway but for EVs you get much more efficiency in local streets
If you were wondering, the mayor won the duel
Honestly I just hope this backfires and less Canadians end up using Facebook, we’d definitely be much better off
Could the same not be said for carbon capture? The point I’m trying to make is that the costs of carbon capture technology and renewables are very similar but the payout is not. It doesn’t make sense to invest in something that’s going to be less effective than something with a similar cost.
Money is a moot point because either way you’re investing in something, either CC or EC. As far as time goes, when it comes to climate change I don’t think time is on our side either, so we don’t have time to wait to develop actually effective CC. We need to be making a transition to renewables now, and smooth out the jagged edges along the way, we don’t have time to wait and hope for a magic technology to eventually make our fossil fuels less dirty
So sounds like instead of spending time and money researching carbon capture we should spend it on energy storage which is an already proven technology that, again, aides a 0 carbon energy source instead of making a fossil fuel source less bad
I’m OOTL what is the 196 community?
The efficiency of CC is higher when you’re doing what you’re saying and capturing at the source but it’s still incredibly inefficient and the costs are just astronomical to get it anywhere near a level that would actually make a dent in the emissions. With the current costs today, it would actually be cheaper to tear down a coal power plant and build TWO wind farms that supplied the same amount of energy each than it would be to build CC to capture a fraction of the emissions generated by the coal plant.
And before anyone says that the costs of CC will come down in the future… So will wind farm costs and solar costs, so in the end why build something to reduce emissions when you could build something to completely eliminate them for CHEAPER instead?
Huh weird, I’m not seeing that
I think what the problem is is that it doesn’t take the relative popularity of posts into account, the news community has 800 members so those posts typically get close to 100 upvotes compared to some smaller communities where you’ll only get 7-8 upvotes, even though that community is only 16 members, so technically that second post is doing BETTER than the news post, but I think the algorithm relies too heavily on absolute score instead
I didn’t see it in the article but does anyone know what the CUPE were originally asking for? How much lower is this compared to their demand?
I guess the first step would be to get members of parliament
