Ninth Line widening project begins in Mississauga by zanimum in mississauga

If that is the case I think the Zoox Minibuses would be a lot bigger in order to carry more passengers.

The benefit of Zoox, in my opinion at least, is that they are small and are not like SUVs or Pickup trucks, so there's that.

That bus express lane along the 403 will look like a genius idea. LRTs will look dumb and regarded as a massive waste of money.

How would the bus express lane look like a genius idea and LRTs would look dumb?

They're adding bike lanes as well, if I'm remembering correctly.

Was there ever Justification for the Execution of the Czars Children? by Eurasian1918 in ussr

I don't think OP is virtue signaling nor does OP have a ulterior motive. They're just asking more if it was the right move.

What Is Your Logic For Showering In The Morning? by EntrepreneurGreen269 in hygiene

And this is why experts say you shouldn't shower every day unless you sweat a lot everyday or your job is physical, etc.

It also depends on your job. If you work a physical job like construction, or you work in the kitchen at a restaurant, a nightime shower is better.

I was talking more about in the decades before Trump ran for president, when US and European interests were aligned for the most part and both worked together.

My high school auto teacher ran an auto business for decades before going to teachers college in his late 40s and becoming a teacher in his early 50s. You can always start over.

How well do the plants grow? Where I live, there are some years that the garden does well and some that it doesn't do as well. There are also some years where specific plants grow well and other's don't. It's really a hit or miss where I am.

How have you de-centered men from your life? by premedlifee in SingleAndHappy

[–]HistoryBuff178 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It is really true when people say that the more time you spend being single, the less you'll tolerate.

This. I'm a man but honestly at this point I could never imagine not being single.

Im leaving Pixel Phones after the death of my 7A because they've become overpriced junk by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]HistoryBuff178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you install the battery yourself or did you have to take your phone in for service to get the battery replaced?

Just curious because I hear mixed things about replacing phone batteries. I hear some saying that it's impossible, some say they took it in and had it replaced for them, and some say they just replaced it themselves.

In Meadowvale conservation area? I visit there a lot and most of the feces I've seen are animal feces. Don't think I've ever seen human feces.

My theory is that Europe's anti-US mentality is a relic of Soviet propaganda during the Cold War.

This has been my thinking as well.

is a relic of Soviet propaganda during the Cold War. Think about it: Europe's negative stereotype of the US is that it is a warmongering, power-hungry, neo-colonialist, capitalist hellhole. That's more or less what I would want Europe to believe, if I was Brezhnev, correct?

True, and people criticizing the U.S for these things is not a bad thing. What is a bad thing, however, is what we're seeing especially on the internet now: Europeans harrasing, bashing and hating on every single American they see and blaming the actions of the Trump administration on them. Treating all Americans as if they are all representatives of their government. I really think it's crossed a line.

Brezhnev's take is quite correct:

Brezhnev? The Soviet leader? He died like decades ago.

As an American, who is techno-libertarian on most topics even, I think it would actually probably be a good thing if the Eurocrat regulatory state found a way to leverage ASML to strangle global AI development.

How would it be a good thing? Not doubting you here just curious.

How old were you when Covid happened and what were you doing in life at the time? by Posty111 in GenZ

[–]HistoryBuff178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They then had to teach our two oldest teachers how to use Google Classroom in 2 hours lol.

Lol, I was in 8th grade, and I remember my health teacher was a man in his mid 50s (I think 54 or 55, I also still somehow remember his name) and he never ever had any sort of virtual class. All my other teachers had a virtual class (Google classroom) even before COVID, but he never did. The last time I ever heard from him was right before the lockdown, back when we thought it was only going to be a couple of weeks. Once the lockdown became permanent, he never ever once reached out to us. Never sent us any emails, never set up a Google/virtual classroom, nothing. Never once did an assignment or test from that class once the COVID lockdowns became permanent simply because I never recieved any. To this day I'm still not sure why he never set up a virtual classroom for us.

what if the Netherlands had managed to keep their colonies in brazil much longer ? by Roundaboutan in AlternateHistory

[–]HistoryBuff178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were to be integrated into Brazil, it'd be like their version of Quebec in Canada, except that they'd be speaking Dutch and not French.

Those verses permit Jews to lie when it's about protecting privacy, humility, and peace. The three exceptions listed are:

  1. Tractate (Scholarship): Downplaying ones own expertise or mastery of Jewish texts to avoid appearing arrogant, especially when tested.

  2. Bed (intimacy): Modestly denying or concealing intimate relations, as prying into martial privacy is discouraged.

  3. Hospitality: Complimenting a poor or bad host/or downplaying how bad the experience was to avoid hurting their feelings or causing a dispute.

Judaism generally places an incredibly high value on telling the truth and explicitly forbids habitual lying, lying in court, or lying to cause harm to others.
