It's good if you're a military contractor being given money to make explodey things

Uh no thanks Mr. Tory. You took your face-saving exit, it'd be better if Toronto forgot about you and the decade the city spent falling behind under your rule.

Going backwards in time, they had metal and brass containers, before that they had wooden buckets and barrels, ceramic pots, carved out animal parts or fruit of plants.

Before farming, probably a good portion of the water early people subsisted on was from the food they ate. (Berries and fruit, fish, meat, etc.) Water might pool around rocky areas after rain, even if there was no stream nearby in a pinch.

Looooook he's baaaaack so don't worry bout it!!! - DOJ

Discovery is still needed to uncover exactly why the government took so long to do what they said they totally couldn't do but suddenly became able to, coincidentally after they found other reasons to detain him.

If Europeans take a weeklong train trip across their continent instead a transatlantic flight, it would be a W for the climate.

I mean my expectations are minimal for the next year with billionaire-backed mayor Ken Sim. I am happy a permanently car-free Robson Street is being planned, albeit slowly and bus lanes are coming across Vancouver, albeit also slowly.

Real progress will come if/when the ABC party gets voted out next year and OneCity, COPE, Green candidates make up more of the council, and car-free advocate Lucy Maloney won't be in the minority.

First off, as a pizza expert, I will say that the best way to keep your toppings from sliding off your pizza is to use a stapler.

Well, anything you post online could be scraped by AI. This is an open public-facing forum so there's no real expectation of privacy (even DMs). And personally I'd rather have everyone who wanted to see what I have to say be able to see it, instead of some for-profit entity deciding who can see it or if they want to package up the whole dataset to sell to an AI company.

Crafty admins check their server traffic every now and then for unusual bandwidth spikes from scraping activity and can ban certain address spaces or client types. But those are more band-aid solutions that will only deal with performance hits, it can't prevent archiving nor AI model-ingesting to begin with.

Online police records show Guevara was arrested by the Doraville Police Department and charged with obstruction of law enforcement, unlawful assembly, and pedestrian walking on or along a roadway.

Why is the bolded part a crime? Fuck cars.

Since they know the idea of travelling to the US is unpopular among Canadians right now, Porter seems to be trying the "asking for a New York friend" route in their advertising. This is the 2nd one I've seen.

I've been watching/listening, seeing Peter sub in for David is making me do double-takes, and aside from his voice made me question for a minute if they were the same guy, just that he grew hair all of a sudden.

Since the server went off of OVH, lemmy.ca has felt super snappy overall. Tonight I'm noticing lagspikes, and the status graph shows it too...

I'll check back in the morning, site's still usable so not an urgent matter. It'd be interesting for me to know what might be happening.

Morning edit: seems like a one off.

I'm planning to start a new Satisfactory world with a number of friends and acquaintances of mine, some from different friend groups.

In a game like Minecraft, the world is limitless and people can set their base up anywhere, obtain resources wherever they please and just trying not to impede on others too much. In Satisfactory I worry a bit about competing over the resources or ideal space, or someone decides to take down another person's hourslong work to make a more efficient factory, etc.

What would be ways that I could fairly share the world with many people? I'd think most of the people would get along and the objective is shared, but I'd want to reduce areas of frustration where possible and would appreciate any advice to that end.
