@G8RByte @1ssve Nothing wrong with starting the message with hello or a similar salutation, but the request or information should come immediately after. A hanging “hello”, just waiting for a response before proceeding, is ridiculous.

@1ssve You must be fun to work with…

a function in Microsoft teams where if someone tries to send only the word “hi” it’ll prompt you to add more context before sending like outlook does with the word “attach”

@Luke_ehM @1ssve Fine to ask if they have a minute, but the hanging solo “hello” is the worst.

@1ssve Sometimes I want to know that they are available to talk before I barge in with my business.

I can’t stand when someone types “hello” on Microsoft teams and waits for a response. Please just type out what you want in the first message.

@Armed_Alberta @Sharyl13 @furmsies If you don’t want to play the pronoun game then isn’t the best thing to do to complete the form and let them know you are a straight biological male that identifies as the male gender? Otherwise your kind may be underrepresented in the data.

@Sharyl13 @furmsies I believe it should be treated and people get the help they need. I’m sympathetic towards it. But I won’t play their pronoun game or play make-believe with them.

I never thought I would see the Right Wing Nut Job Snowflakes crash out over something as innocuous as filling out the census. Yet here we are.

@oldsoulktp77 @Armed_Alberta @furmsies Some people got a long form census. I got one of the longer ones. It did indeed have some “personal” questions but I don’t think that is overly unusual. Census data is important for a lot of reasons, like tracking changes in the population characteristics over time.

@Armed_Alberta @furmsies So you got a fake census? Weird.

@Cazzy I’ve seen it but not often. Have had to change trains from the smell/ second hand smoke. It’s always been when it’s less busy.

I can't speak to other places but personally in Vancouver I have never, ever seen someone using drugs on the SkyTrain or a bus. It's just not a problem. I'm not saying it never happens, but it's way less common than people think for whatever reason.

@dervishgirl1 @lilwaynekennedy It’s reasonable for anyone to choose to wear a mask to help prevent catching any virus they like.

@lilwaynekennedy Is it reasonable to wear an N95 in a plane and hotel to prevent this? I am not very familiar with the risk level of this virus 🤔

Just flew across the country to Vancouver and was shocked to see how many people on the plane (Air Canada) were wearing mask, some N95, including one of the air stewardesses. Now checking in to my hotel and also seeing people here wearing masks (couple in N95 ahead of me). 😳🤯😷

@lippyent Fully furnished with stuff my parents bought at an auction. Not my ideal style but was decent quality and got me through university.

What cheap furnishings did you have in your first place? Hmm 🤔?¿

@OrevaZSN Nah, zuck also developed a light based alarm to wake up his wife. Generational life changing stuff right there.

It's utterly ridiculous that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around, and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing our personal data to sell us targeted ads.

@Puppieslover The dog isn’t the stupid one in this video.

He’s not the smartest but he’s the cutest

@ROETrading @david_parker Marginal tax rate is 50%. Effective or overall is closer to 35%.

Unless you own your house free and clear, $200k gets taxed at close to 50%, so you have $100k to pay a mortgage, heat your home, fuel your car, and buy expensive food. Doesn’t leave you with a lot of spare cash to feel upper class. You can’t afford $1500/night four seasons rooms.

It's wild to me that many people who make more than $200,000 a year think they are not in the upper class in Canada. That puts you in the top 2-5% of Canadian income earners. If that isn't the upper class, then there is no upper class in Canada.

@RachelC83409253 @end3of6days9 Then they need to adjust their hours and close at 3:45.

@end3of6days9 We have to spin your blood and that takes a full 15 mins. There wasn't enough time to process your blood work before being sent to the lab for further testing. The employee has a right to refuse them.

💉 A high-risk pregnant woman shows up with her mom at LabCorp in Odessa, Texas, at 3:50 PM — just 10 minutes before they close at 4:00. The employee refuses to do her blood draw and tells them it was “rude” to come so close to closing, comparing it to walking into a restaurant right before they lock the doors. Her doctor told her to get there before 4:00, which they did, but they still refuse to do the bloodwork. The employee says they’re being belligerent and asks them to leave, then tells them that if they don’t leave she’ll call the police for trespassing. Do you think they should have made an exception to their rule for this mom? Especially since she’s a high-risk pregnancy and it sounds like she’s being induced in a few days. I absolutely would have worked later to make sure this mom-to-be got the bloodwork she needed. She’s in enough stress as it is.

@bigbadcad @HarmanBhanguBC The lack of lines is so dangerous, combined with the type of paving we do just turns our roads into reflective glass sheets on rainy nights. I remember crossing the border into Washington state and it’s night and day how easy it is to see on their highways.

@HarmanBhanguBC I’d like to point out that even in the city the lines are completely invisible on a rainy night. Growing up there used to be reflective properties of the paint that would stand out with headlights. What happend to that? Are paint suppliers using a worse product ?

This video is from back in March while touring through the Interior. At nearly every stop, I heard from British Columbians about the lack of visible lane markings on major highways. Then I saw it firsthand. Harsh weather is a fact of life. But not having proper lane markings so drivers can actually see where they’re going is absolutely unacceptable. Truckers and commuters shouldn’t be guessing where their lane is while driving through slush and poor visibility. Farnworth needs to get out here and actually see the kinds of road conditions he’s saying are okay for British Columbians to drive on.

@marxseventh @FishingGuy907 @cassidenaep Exactly. They did not crew up and plan this recovery mission assuming everything would go perfectly like it did. It is planned for every possible thing that could go wrong.

@FishingGuy907 @cassidenaep None of you are thinking about the weather and possible rough seas.

@Gargen123 @HateandBourbon @MissiforMO That is also based on ten year old data. The amount of computing power required by AI is astronomical compared to what was going on then.

@HateandBourbon @MissiforMO Maybe try looking into things and forming your own opinion. It’s almost like data centers use such a minuscule amount of water, that it’s stupid even complaining about it. nature.com/articles/s4154…

The City of Festus, MO canceled their Council meeting for tonight following last night's election whereby citizens voted out of office every single member who voted for the data center there that the people did not want. Micro to macro, that is how we hold them accountable.

@LawnmowerAmeri1 @Bulvarpress You should go visit the pretty coloured natural hot tubs in Yellowstone national park! They say not to go into them, to stay on the boardwalks. But rules are for suckers, right?

@Bulvarpress If I'm paying tourist prices to patron your tourist trap destination, you better believe I'm not wading in the ankle deep surf. Ya boi is going to at least the neck deep water to chill.

Tayland’a tatile giden bir Amerikalı turist, Maya Bay’da suya girince sert bir tepkiyle karşılaştı. Yaptığı hareket dolayısıyla 10.000 Baht ceza kesildi.

@C163680621902 @realVespasian Snows? Barely snows in downtown Vancouver. These squat-looking palms are in a lot of places in Vancouver and on Vancouver island. Been here for decades, kind of used to them now. This particular private rooftop garden has been around for over ten years.

@realVespasian Haha fair. Nowhere in Canada comes close to being able to grow them except Vancouver area, but even there it’s a bit of a stretch. Must look so weird when it snows lol.

frutiger aero is still alive in Vancouver

@Hivelyss_ Punctuation matters.

An event with her ex, a racist who said that white genes are superior, for a show that should have ended 2 years ago, also written by a sex addict… And the other part of the cast that are her friends, half of them left / died… I would have been done with that show too tbh

@Birdcrablover @drjenwolkin Mine wants me to try a particular ssri first as well. Went on and on about risks of hrt without acknowledging any potential benefits. Wasn’t impressed.

@drjenwolkin I went to my doctor for help and maybe try HRT and she said no "they" won't let her, but she could prescribe SSRIs. I'm assuming "they" is insurance companies. I said no, I'll just deal with it.

Peri/menopause isn’t a “new trend.” It’s what happens when an ENTIRE generation of women hits a life transition we were never properly studied for, educated about, or prepared for. GenX and Xennials weren’t “caught off guard” because we’re dramatic…we were kept in the dark. I see you. XO, Dr. Jen

@kjgillenwater @jamiemcln “Too big to fail” huh?

@jamiemcln This kind of realization is what made me deadset against my idea there is man-made climate change affecting the planet.

someone explain to me why we can’t see any form of human existence from space? like surely there’s areas in earth that we’ve covered in concrete that are large enough to see from space

@realpeteyb123 I always stagger my feet as well, like this guy was. Probably saved him from losing his balance when pushed.

NYC born and raised and here are some tips. Never stand near platform and always have your back to a wall Never stare at your phone lost, and never wear both headsets Never stand with your back at a traffic light either, always position a slight angle
