I hate the knob. I can't decide if that or the Nissan "orb of motion" as Garbage Time put it is my least favourite. I miss my manual car, but I'm on the electric train now, as computery as it gets.

What's with the boomer ellipsis? It's so consistent among the older folks I see. I don't understand why every sentence needs to be trailing off.

Good for gramps though! Power to him.

My biggest reason for not liking calls is that I often very much struggle to actually hear what's being said. I'll take talking in person over a call. Text mediums also have the benefit of being able to be referred back to. Great to double check something, or to cover your ass. I'll take a paper trail any day of the week.

That said though, in my professional life I have encountered a surprisingly huge number of people who just cannot write clearly. It baffles me. Ultimately, to each their own, and I'll try to meet people where they're at. But I much prefer written formats.

Ah right on thanks for the info, I had no idea. My company is less than 10 people with single digit million revenue so it appears we're not violating anything. I knew they had a paid service, but none of that seems unique to MacOS.

What's this about Docker not being free on MacOS? I have it installed and use it for dev work and it didn't cost anything.

I would guess it's because ending the carbon tax would end the payment people get paid from it. Majority of people profit from it.

I hadn't thought about that angle of it, thanks for the insight. Definitely feels like a valid concern.

I could feel all my interest evaporate.

Unless I'm missing something, it's been close to a century since a minority government made it the full 4 years. I suspect we'll see another election prematurely.

Exactly my thoughts, it'll only be effective if it's done properly. Otherwise it's just another half-measure that is more burden than benefit.

That said though, I wonder how much carbon/money rural heating oil specifically generated. It's possible this is just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme and is an acceptable loss to help these folks out. Although I might prefer a bigger push to get people off heating oil altogether (which is where it's going to have to go eventually).

What recent actions have they taken? I'm out of the loop.
