Speed limit drop to 40km/h seems to have worked as expected (livewirecalgary.com)
 

The speed limit drop on unmarked roads to 40km/h from 50 a couple years ago seems to have resulted in a measurable decrease in driving speeds and accidents.

WHO says sugar alternatives not effective for weight loss. I think this would also generally imply that they do not prevent weight gain. I think you likely just don't gain weight regardless of sweetener; like how I and most of my family don't gain weight regardless of what we eat. That is to say our habits and decisions don't allow for weight gain regardless of sweetener, not that we have some genetic thing processes sugar differently or anything so unlikely.
Though yes, I also disagree with that strawman argument, diet coke being a gateway pop or artificial sweeteners being gateway sugar seems a bit rediculous.

Has anyone manage to find Avatar The Way of Water 3D blu-ray rip? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I see the following unverified torrent on a private tracker.
Avatar: The Way of Water 2022 1080p 3D BluRay Half-SBS DD+7.1 x264-GS88.
Its a 25GB MKV, no raw BlueRay listed in 3D.
Also only Half-SBS which I just learned about. So not exactly what you want. I messaged the uploader to see if they know where to go or can help provide it.

If the little bristles are injested they can cause food poison like symptoms before more serious complications.

Did Immich work out-of-the-box for you? I had it working a few months ago but when I tried more recently I was greeted with errors about connecting to the database. The docker-compose setup is what I'm looking for.

June 3: Boil Water Advisory for 3 Communities (calgaryherald.com)
 

Lifted as of June 4th.

For communities: Silverado, Yorkville and Belmont. There was a water main breakage. While it has been fixed, Alberta Health issued a boil water advisory for the affected communities out of caution.

Found in a Common Sense Calgary email. https://www.albertainstitute.ca/r?u=R6v1GQkxThxfwybM4HncqfT9Lqy6n4aUHr343EmO2HgOdppnlzPdBU4ReED6zeKZDEwgKSWwQn0gt62gwmHBj589s5YV9Ry-04I24234-8Ds7jxwkLjWuyP3vLaO_LvPV0kbZJDNyqVH_AuECsG5ww&e=c97db2b5447291aed74b2091f9c3d79e&n=9

That email seems more thought out than anything he has said to the public...

I would love this for more than just flights xP How much fun would it be to get a duel request from someone for a discount code or a parking spot. Doing rock-paper scissors for stuff.

Unfortunately I didn't find anything free and open source that I liked. I'm still using Toggl Track for free. Then I use ActivityWatch to track when I am on particular applications in case I leave a timer on.
