Literally. People forget that these instances are privately run (just as Reddit is). There is no obligation to the “public good”.

I’m not sure if you will find much sympathy here. Many people (myself included) left Reddit because their policies and ethics now outweigh the benefits of a refined, smooth experience. Although, even that may be gone now if you’re switching from Apollo to the default Reddit app…

The communities here have made any occasional glitches worth it for me.

P.S. you can set your sorting preference under Settings.

As a fan of craft beer, I like the taste. It’s like drinking different types of bread.

When I toured Europe, I found the beer was definitely lighter there.

It is summer here, so our night temp is set to 21C and daytime temp is set to 24C. If we’re away, the AC will turn off.

In winter, I think we keep the house at 18C at night and maybe 19-20C during the day. Our eco mode minimum is set to 15C so the pipes don’t freeze.

I also prefer cooler, but we set our temps in a way to save on our electric bill.

I’m in Canada and we definitely couldn’t just turn off our furnace in the winter - things start exploding when it is -30C or lower.

I was on Apollo and while I support Christian, I’m not sure I can support Reddit anymore.

I think a lot of new users are coming in and interacting with the first post they see, which is usually the post at the top of the “hot” feed. In turn, this keeps the “hot” posts up longer because of the constant interaction.

I expect it’ll cycle through within the week once the blackout is up.

Would anyone be able to comment on the tangible effects of the strike? The article just says it could have “damaging effects on the economy” - are we talking shortage of goods or something else? What flows through the BC ports?

I think any Sens fan will agree with you. Hindsight is 20/20.

There’s a few of us over at [email protected]

Thanks for posting, this was a great read.

I wanted to watch it too and it was awful. And then when they finally posted the recording THE NEXT DAY, it was mediocre at best. Truly a blunder in the reality TV world.

Following as I’d like to know too!

Your metaphor of multiple instances = multiple “Reddits” is exactly how I think of it as a layperson!

A few other people use the email metaphor, but I found it not as digestible since email is not a forum.

When it comes to income and taxation, there is a lot more grey than you think.

Technically, ALL income for business-earning purposes should be reported and taxed accordingly.

Regarding taxation of the buyer, at least in Canada, GST is generally not applicable until the seller is earning $30K+.

But REALISTICALLY - no taxation agency really cares about 1 chair.

I probably wouldn’t consider it a black market/underground economy unless it was significant and ongoing. E.g., your neighbours REGULARLY sell chairs for profit and don’t report their earnings.

So frustrating to see city councillors originally voting down the housing affordability recommendations because they included zoning for more duplexes, townhouses, etc. Good heavens - it is not like someone is putting up a pig farm in your backyard.

All in all, very cool to see Calgary getting attention on the international stage.

I loved those books as a kid. I’ll need to go out and find a set to read with my own kid someday.

Matilda is still a joy to read as an adult!

Same here. I put a lot of effort into carefully curating my subscribed list on Apollo - it definitely made the experience much more enjoyable.

The pessimistic Internet user in me knows we are in the honeymoon stage of a wonderful user base.

Oh shoot. I’m glad you posted this as I just made a post and completely misinterpreted the message - I selected “English.” Hopefully that won’t filter it from too many users!
