In this context "well regulated" means like a smoothly-running clock, with the implication being that militia members will need weapons for training and practice.
Interlibrary loans are a wonder of the world and a glory of civilization

If you return the tax to everyone as a dividend, then it becomes progressive, while still encouraging less polluting options
Looking at things at the federal level will always be misleading. What's the EU minimum wage?
Minimum wage in CA for a McDonalds job is $20/hr. In NY it's $15/hr ($16 in NYC).
To be fair, it would be more effective to build a handful of mid-rises rather than clear-cutting space for a new exurb
The antecedent of "its" is America, not the drug
Effective systemic change requires changing the systems, not individual people or companies. If we want less virgin plastic or gasoline burning, it needs to be less profitable to extract oil, process it, and sell it to people who want it, otherwise somebody is going to do that.
The report describes living comfortably as spending no more than 30% of one’s income on rent.
This is abusing a crude, outdated rule of thumb that never worked in HCOL areas [1]. Put simply, if your rent goes up by $10K annually and all other costs remain the same, you only need $10K more per year to be just as "comfortable", not $33.33K.
Granted, $35.1K is a lot (that would be 100% of minimum wage in Los Angeles). The median rent for a **1BR ** is $2.2K [2], so 26K per year (i.e. still too much).
In short, minimum wage isn't enough to afford rent in L.A., but you certainly don't need to be making $100K.
This requirement is also the plot of the 2020 Hugo Award for Best Short Story, As the Last I May Know
Seems to be specific to Saanich, BC. It's about 2k pop/mi2, which is like medium density suburb (single family zoning with small yards).
Yep, even people living side-by-side may have very different transportation needs; the goal is to encourage bike use where possible, as it benefits everyone. Bikes don't have to replace every trip either. An e-bike can do 20mph (i.e. 3 mins per mile) with minimal effort, so the times for some of your trips are quite reasonable:
- Grocery: 9 minutes
- Fast food: 6 minutes
- Gym: 18 minutes (this is a bit high, but it's also exercise, so it kind of works out)
Cargo e-bikes can handle a 100lb load, so your grocery and gym bags are no problem.
All this is not to say that a bike would be a good fit for you, just that they can handle a lot more than you give them credit for.
I don't think it's accurate to say that זָכָר (zakar) is usually translated as "boy". It is generally translated as "male" and often clearly includes adult males.
Funny enough, all prohibitions are specific to men, even in the NT (arsenokoites).

Godot is a popular Free and Open Source game development engine and toolset.
They are the 3rd most popular engine behind (commerical) engines Unity and Unreal, and seeing a major surge of interest after Unity altered the deal so bluntly that Vader would blush.
Yes, you can always count on the right-wing to oppose all progress, with help from everyone's favorite propogandist petrostate. What's wild though is over half of Canadians don't even realize they are getting a rebate! [0] Clearly whatever people's opinions on the policy are, they aren't driven by reality.
