There should be a discounted rate for island residents and atleast 25% reserved space for residents. Our taxes pay for this shit and its essential travel. We can’t even get to and from our home without beating thru a crowd of tourists.

Wouldn’t tariffs encourage people to shop local small businesses instead? Right-wing fear mongering

Ya seems needed IMO.

Still feels good to be downsized to a fully offgrid small solar setup finally though. Really made me realize just how power hungry some NA households can be.

Lets fight stupid with stupid and rename the Alaskan Highway!

Wow… That BCCDC vaccination coverage chart linked to in the article is honestly disappointing. I did not realize parents here were this stupid these days. I mean, you hear about antivax misinformation taking hold in places like Kentucky and Alberta, but come on BC parents. Do better. Snap out of the f*cebook conspiracy brainwashing.

Literally the whole province is like this, not just the 2 (conservative) northern regions singled out in the article. The trend in the data holds across all the regions and all are dangerously below herd immunity? I feel like thetyee likes to throw a bit of bias where it is convenient for them. Just something to keep in mind folks, I like thetyee too! But its important to recognize the biases in the media we read.

The province-wide avg for measles coverage age 7 is 72.4 in 2023. For comparison in 2013 it was 90.9. Downward trend holds for all regions, with the 2 northern regions singled out having slightly lower coverage to begin with and end with.

Side note: why is it that gov’t sites that are clearly being updated never even have frigging https setup or basic mobile RWD? I had to turn on desktop mode just to view their website properly 🤦‍♂️

Glad they are only targeting west coast states with the ad campaign so that hopefully newcomers have similar ideals to BC already.

In other words, glad they aren’t recruiting in Florida.

Sidenote: Holy fuck does John Rustad have the most punchable face I’ve ever seen.

Surprise, surprise. The one’s claiming election fraud are the ones who engaged in it.

Classic Conservative projection.

Good, fuck em!

Excellent read.

No doubt that cunt Rosalyn Bird (PG MLA) will gladly support Parmar and Fehr further dismantling our lumber industry in the name of bribes and short term buyouts.

Way too close for comfort though

Try grapheneos on your pixel. Performance will be night and day. They have an installer on their website so simple a monkey could do it

The café my partner used to work at had all compostable takeout stuff. Despite having a city wide compostable pickup program they did not bother with a compost bin so it all went directly in the trash. So I wouldn’t assume its going to be properly disposed of, even when proper options exist.

I’d say Aegis (2FA) has to be #1 for me. It just does everything perfectly.

After that the combo of logseq + syncthing is pretty deadly

Ah okay thanks I’ll do some searching

Reminder to please not abuse Darn Tough’s warranty everyone!

i.e. if you find a pair of darn tough socks at a thrift store for $1, cool great find! Enjoy your almost free, very long lasting pair of high quality socks. But that does not entitle you to turn around and return those socks for a warranty on a brand new pair forever.

People abusing warranties is how every lifetime warranty eventually gets gutted. So if you like the socks, support the brand so they stay around awhile.

P.S. they are Made in Vermont

Sorry is there a link here I’m not seeing on my app… Which brand shorts are they?

Second this. Get a few pairs of different weights and you are set for life in all weather conditions.

I wear a pair of darn tough boot socks for about 3 days before they start having any smell at all. Just hang em up when you get home from work and the wool will air out by the next day. If especially bad you can hang them in the bathroom before you shower so they get a light steam too.

Yes, its been a long time. But I still remember every line. You remember your first? Mine was some NGINX proxy at the Battle of Netflix.

My server took an arrow from my ISP so I was on foot, slogging through the configuration files. Tech support came running at me, this dumb corporate policy, thinking they could end the rebellion with a single policy blocking port forwarding.

I knocked them with the tailscale. Gods I was strong then. Caved in their double NAT. Probably shattered every iptable they had.

Stood over them, keyboard in the air. Right before I brought it down they said “Wait, wait!”

They never tell you how they all shit themselves. They don’t put that part in the songs. Stupid ISP.
