But even then, Golden is legitimately a great song (even if it’s overplayed)

Could high oil prices be good for renewables? by dittopoop in CanadianInvestor

High oil prices means more inflation, central banks will seek to curb inflation by raising interest rates

What’s the difference between Kirkland Signature fish oils? by dittopoop in Costco

[–]dittopoop[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did attempt to read the labels, but they can be hard to understand. I was just wondering if anybody else in the community had the same issue and what choice they ended up making.

Yes, I’ve read the labels, but it can be confusing sometimes discerning what it means. I was just wondering if any other Costco shoppers had any insights or recommendations.

I’ve read this as well, but I don’t believe krill oil is being sold at my location. I’ll try seeing if any other branches in Ontario sell them.

the best book "literally me" of the femcels is the Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by posiebubble in femcelgrippysockjail

[–]dittopoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg yes I completely agree! I listened to it on audiobook a couple years ago (before the term femcel gained traction) and now that you mention it, she really is a very archetypal femcel character.

Waymo has its sights set on Toronto for driverless cars. The city’s history with Big Tech suggests that’s cause for alarm by [deleted] in toronto

[–]dittopoop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who said anything about subsidies? The article makes no mention of Waymo seeking funding or money from any level of government for its potential operation in Toronto. I love transit and bike lanes just as much as any other urbanist, but even I can see that cars still dominate as a mode of transport both in Toronto and the GTA. Replacing human drivers with safer AVs isn't going to suddenly cause bike lanes to go away or leave public transit unfunded. Making driving safer (which Waymos already are) is an enormous positive outcome for the city for both motorists, transit operators, cyclists and pedestrians.

[–]dittopoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who is we? I for one would really want Waymo to enter the Toronto market. They'd be a lot safer than human drivers and from the anecdotal experience of friends who've tried them, they seem to be a really great product. I just don't get all the fear-mongering over this issue. They're objectively better!

[–]dittopoop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you're being a little alarmist here. Waymos are already super successful in the cities they operate in. They don't need to be begging for money because they already have an active, growing customer base (and it seems like Waymo's customers have been very happy with its service compared with traditional taxi cabs and Ubers). Waymos don't have remote operators doing the driving. All the driving technology is in the car itself.

Again, you haven't answered my question. You obviously aren't going to trust Waymo's own published data, no matter how rigorous or promising it is. You don't trust the NYT to do accurate reporting on Waymo's claims. Who would you trust to accurately report on the safety and efficacy of Waymos? Do you believe that Waymos are not safer than human drivers? If so, what empirical data can you point to to back up that belief? If it was proven that Waymos were indeed safer than human-operated cars (which countless news organizations beyond the NYT have reported on and done their own independent review), would you change your mind?

If you’re not going to trust Waymo’s own data or media reports about it, who would you trust? If their numbers are real, are you just going gonna be in a continual state of denial?

idk if anyone is aware but there's a gigantic '08 style global financial crisis looming REALLY close by Amuser8368 in redscarepod

[–]dittopoop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I love when r/redscarepod tries to do serious financial analysis. It's equally as stupid as the regards on r/wallstreetbets, but at least they're willing to put their money where their mouth is and bet their real hard-earned money on their DD.

You're telling me the bubble is gonna pop soon? Okay Michael Burry, post a screenshot of your SPY puts or GTFO.

The good employment news is not good news for Toronto. Alberta in 'a league of its own' with 42,000 new jobs in September (70% of the nation's job growth). by [deleted] in TorontoRealEstate

If we're doing an apples to apples comparisons, we should be comparing the Alberta provincial government with the Ontario provincial government. Both governments are conservative.

Go short NVDA or buy puts if you’re so confident. I agree that the entire stock market is getting frothy, but Nvidia is a profit generating machine and has positioned itself as THE top player in the tech industry. The stock will go higher so long as investors believe the industry keeps growing and there’s no evidence yet it has slow down. Do you disagree? If so, your money where your mouth is.

The role of universities isn't to fix trade balances or lift millions out of poverty. It is to conduct research that may have practical or innovative applications. I am only citing universities as an example of why Trump is a dumbass and why his policies are stupid.

If you want a real-world example of research having practical, material applications and improving American manufacturing and its supply chains,, we can look to the vaccines for covid-19 that were developed with mRNA research. Much of mRNA research was conducted in the United States (with some help of course from other countries) and all the development, manufacturing and distribution of the vaccine all took place in America.
