Are the bikes just left parked around the city? Here in Montréal, we have Bixi, with docks for the bikes every few blocks, and bikes have to be returned to a dock when you’re done (or you’ll get docked for the price of the bike, pun intended) so we don’t hear about discarded bikes much.

The program is also a resounding success here!

But the bribe amounts have very little to do with how unfathomably rich the “donors” are! If you look at all those bribes, the amounts are still within the realm of what the 99% could put together.

But I don’t even think it would cost the 99% that much, because it would force the 1% to up their game (in other words, there’d be bribe inflation) until the 99% can’t follow suit, which means the 99% wouldn’t even need to pay, in the end. But the higher price would make some bribers think twice, which might lead to less bribery happening.

Québécois ici. Je suis arrivé sur Lemmy suivant l’exode de Reddit l’an passé. Sur Reddit, je n’étais pas exposé aux sous-Reddit Français et les seules communautés francophones que je visitais régulièrement étaient celles du Québec et de Montréal.

Mais peu de temps après mon arrivée ici, j’ai commencé à voir le contenu Français, et maintenant je suis vous discussions politiques, ce qui me donne plus de matériel de conversation avec mes collègues de bureau qui sont des ex-pats Français.

LOL, good one!

They may have been referring to the cartoon. The car in the cartoon did some ridiculous shit, such as tires that inflated like balloons and made the car extra bouncy.

Cuts like a knife, don’t it?

People who make everything they’re involved with worse gotta stick together.

It’s not density, it’s mass. A mass of 1kg compressed to the density of the Sun’s core would pull the Earth with just as much force as a 1kg ball of styrofoam.

You can do that today. Just ask Chat-GPT to write you a bash script for something non-obvious, and then debug what it gives you.

So, 16 50-cents, with some change left?

People complain about the total cost too get everything in The Sims, but I don’t remember anyone complaining about the total cost of every song in Rock Band.

I only take medicine when the symptoms literally prevent me from functioning or threaten my life. With fever, I actually wrap myself up to keep warm, which lets my body “rest” instead of working to raise my temperature. This approach appears to have helped me get through many infections quickly, though I admit this is anecdotal.

Time is money
