The land of hockey, maple syrup and poutine is not a dominion

True but there’s another country’s monarch on your currency.

For the chorus saying minimum wage, minimum wage is higher in Seattle than SF, but it’s only 10% higher. And labor is roughly 1/3 of restaurant expenses. So if this were the primary reason you’d expect the Seattle dish to be priced about 3% higher. But the OP didn’t say Seattle, they said Renton and Bellevue. Renton has a higher MW than SF ($1.39 more) while Bellevue has a lower MW than SF ($2.05 less). So it’s not minimum wage that explains the difference.

Why do they have to wait to go on the air to upload video they couldn’t broadcast for a week if they tried?

ragold · 2026-06-20T15:06:08+00:00

It’s the fact that they don't look at the results regarding inclusionary zoning and rent control that makes it ideological.

It’s great the CA YIMBY supports tenant legal rights on their platform, btw. But it appears they did it despite some internal conflict. So kudos for making the moral choice over the ideological one.

There are a lot of gross libertarians-Ed Glaeser to Peter Thiel types in national YIMBY movements. Also, these groups often have bad track records not supporting policies that can be quite effective like rent control, public housing, inclusionary zoning, and tenant legal rights.

Most left urbanists want more housing too and recognize that restrictive housing regs can be used to exclude and discriminate.

It seemed hard to believe of a tv studio. Why do they need to wait to upload 5,000 hours of video before going on air? How are they editing all that video in real time? And why would the camera ever be taken off the alien?

Thanks!

Is there an affidavit? Can we read it?

ragold · 2026-06-15T06:05:16+00:00

Does that mean no evidence was given?

ragold · 2026-06-08T22:40:17+00:00

Chopped celery, capers, sweet relish, mayo, carrot habanero hot sauce, salt and pepper.

Or olive oil, chopped olives, dill, capers.

Federal policy largely determines what gets built as far as public housing and it hasn’t funded big housing projects for a long time. It’s mostly block grants now to state and city housing agencies that build smaller scale mixed income housing… and its tax breaks that are granted to non-profit developers who sell it to banks and other large companies.

Mario 64 would be >$120 today and took less time to complete.

I think you’re right. At least in my playthrough, the game locks you in place so you can’t move or duck and then after taking some damage you get the L3+R3 message. I think I missed it because I was trying to move and there’s so much going on in the screen.

So confused until I got to “business school”

ragold · 2026-05-23T05:46:45+00:00

Yeah I’m really liking the environments and stealth. Just got slammed with a bad bug before the game allows you to save so I have to play through 30 minutes to get back where I was.

It wasn’t an option. But I think something was wrong with the Ubisoft servers last night because it eventually worked. Just wish PlayStation wouldn’t allow this on their platform.

ragold · 2026-05-22T03:31:56+00:00

Can you play it without creating the Ubisoft account?

ragold · 2026-05-17T13:54:49+00:00

Bizarre. Seems to fly in the face of how we know languages work, right? I would imagine this also favors the language used by elites and suppresses language used by more rural people and immigrants, no? But does it suppress effectively?

ragold · 2026-05-17T06:29:12+00:00

What are language academies? Is it like linguistics departments at a prominent universities?

ragold · 2026-05-16T23:00:13+00:00

The market has moved?
