It doesn’t matter how well the sidewalks are cleared if this is what the curb cuts look like after they clear the roads down to the pavement for benefit of people in their 3000 pound motorized and heated boxes on wheels.

Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week.
These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

Unpopular Opinion? Our roadways should be designed with built in safety features for pedestrians and cyclists first because pedestrians and cyclists aren't protected by a 1800kg metal cage with seatbelts, airbags, and crumple zones. #visionzero #winnipeg #roadwaysafety

When these outlets say "AI is inevitable" maybe take a look at other "sure things" they have backed in the past.

In my dream-yet-not-impossible world, we'd tax the rich appropriately so that we could fund UBI to a level everyone has a guaranteed livable income that covers not only food & shelter, but treats too. And truly universal healthcare that covers physical/mental/dental & meds, equipment, therapies etc.
Anyone who thinks it’s possible to fake disability for fraudulent benefits has clearly never known anyone even obliquely who has had to interact with the systems involved. Driven by a false FEAR of fraud: labyrinthine friction and ridiculous obstacles, designed to get the user to give up.
You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them.
There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”.
You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not.
People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

AI is a climate issue. AI is a climate crisis.
A few important points here
- Generative AI supercharged data centre growth: lobbyist and substacker lines pretending like this is just streaming are false
- Even when you consider much of the projected growth is speculative, the *likely* projects are still MASSIVE

I am wondering if the government could amend the Competition Act to prevent this type of surge pricing - e.g. by limiting the number of times in a day/week that the price can be changed?
Or as often as the manager wants to hit the edit button...

Digital price tags can change the cost of groceries 6 times per minute
Electronic shelf labels bring Uber-style dynamic pricing to your grocery store. Walmart plans to expand these “digital shelf labels” to 2,300 stores.

I just heard that Manitoba is going to be selling off the back stock of US liquor until Christmas, giving proceeds to the Cheer Boards in Winnipeg, Brandon, and Thompson - essentially dealing with the dormant product we’d already paid for in a way that benefits us locally. Genius idea.

This explains something that has always mystified me about drivers who rail against bike lanes and transit. Why WOULDN'T you want people to have options not to drive? It would make your own driving better! But they don't just want good traffic, they want to reinforce the NORM of driving
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Canadians! You can now vote for the Canadian Word of the Year!

2025 has been an eventful year for Canada's identity. To commemorate the year, The Society for Canadian English is choosing a 2025 word of the year (CWOTY), based on the Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles.
