their being

Whose being?

it’s strength

It is, is it?

Yep. Tip only after worthy service has been rendered. (Former waiter)

Asia didn't have so many dodge rams.

You sure about the tiny 6 car?

Nothing is free from Ubisoft.

Public-private partnerships in action, skillfully balancing costs of maintenance and contingency planning against CEO bonuses and cost-'streamlining'.

Mixed-use is a fantastic template for a building, given we can then roll up so many extra bungalows and their hoarded greenspace to be re-wilded (or zoned back agri) or shared as parkland.

But this is a plan for new builds. Rendering some floors to housing doesn't magically fix the issue that every floor is unsuitable as housing without extensive remodel. It just means some floors stay as office and some floors are unsuitable for housing, same as before.

1. Moratorium on non-mixed-use
2. Moratorium on sub-20-level buildings
3. Increase shared greenspace requirements
4. Increased tax inversely proportional to density due to users-per-metre of infrastructure
5. Rental income over and above a value related to a single average income per 2 beds is taxed brutally - but let the air b&bs back (with innkeeper licensing and that tax shelf)
6. Minimum living-space-per-human values, reducing that ceiling if undersized. Because renting out a shed like a house is inhumane
7. Added property tax if the building is >50yo and fails rule 1+2 above.

How much is "a lot"?

Hint: enough that "let's make them offices" isn't a bad default. But read why and think to yourself whether you know offices and whether any fit the bill as being unsuitable.

I've seen several retrofit projects

While we can use facts to then assess buildings ourselves - one of our huge benefits as a human - the plural of anecdote is still not data.

No no, I wanna see this in court. I want to see how bad the evidence is, and if the arrests are bogus I want to see penalties on the cops.

I worry that burying this will be no value, and I hope the victims have the resilience to see this through.

Lawyers do need to comport themselves properly, and can't engage in things that may tarnish the respect for the legal system now that they're members of the bar.

Fucking hokum qualifies as an example of the kind of fraudulent whackadoo shit that needs to attract a disbarment hearing.

I don’t think it’s the government’s job, place, or right to tell people what they can and can’t put in their own bodies.

Nope. That's the job of people who've worked their entire lives studying how to prolong our lifespan and improve our health; and those people advise the people we trust the most to guide our work, safety and consumer products regulations.

"Mom and dad have too many rules" was kinda lame when it was about wearing a toque. You need to understand it better by now.

filtered cigarettes have been said to be worse

Yeah. They add fiberglass to the inhaled particulate and are easily defeated as a filter as the act of smoking crushes and chanellizes the filter.

Yeah, let’s bring back [...] measles. Smallpox

You heard what America's aristocracy was making its dumbest do during CoVid, right?

Yes. New Zealand is infected by conservatives again, and the only alternative to re-opening sales of cigarettes to children to get more tax money was to tax the rich people at all. And that will not do.

Arent the heels just for resting on while standing?

One of my peers works in a very remote area of BC (Americans: BC is in another country and it borders Alaska's south tip) in unionized IT via starlink. Think: the major highway going past it is two-lane.

• quiet
• hard work
• no commute
• land
• pension (50% fo life after 25)
• biking
• hiking
• backyard camping is camping

But:

• fucking prepper tourists
• sometimes the power dumps
• you wanna see what's outside before going out to the garage.

Remember: nature doesn't care about you and we've only been pissing her off for 50 years.

For Meta to find the left it would have to lean so far over. Just finding center may require a lean so far as to topple.

One doesn't make money selling granola to hippies; it's sex and hate and fear and guns for fat old white hillbilly men where the actual money's at.

Trumpets looking to push a bit more hate on a positive career politician as it's odd to them.

My m404 seems to have been immune to this problem.

Imagine

That's is so overused. Is this the new 'litchally'?
