"As reported by The Globe and Mail, residents spent a total of $181 million at curbside patios within 13 weeks of summer in 2021. If those spaces had remained dedicated to parking, only $3.7 million would have been reaped during the same time period."

Masks don't just protect you from Covid—they can also help you avoid flu. If you want to avoid getting sick in the coming weeks, get your flu shot and Omicron booster, wear a mask in indoor crowds, and wash your hands!

OK, that's it, we're done. Computers were a mistake and it's time to just burn everything to the ground because clearly we can't have nice things.

folks offering a defense of Minn cops who lobbied to reject a ban from POST (must be POST certified to be a cop in Minn) certification based on white supremacist affiliation, said the language was not specific enough to discern being a white supremacist from being a Republican 🤣

Guns are specifically designed to kill people. Statistically, more guns => more gun deaths. So yes, guns are the problem. LLMs are designed to *help* people, & they do. Statistically so far, there has been no bad side effect. So, the risk-benefit trade-offs are very different.
