Hey man, I can't be the person to fully educate you on this but 2.7 degrees of average increase does not translate to a slightly warmer summer day. The language used makes it very misleadingly sound like no big deal, but it is a BIG deal. Without trying to be cliche, there is an XKCD for this and here it is: https://xkcd.com/1732/

A short way to get the point across is that when the earth's average temperature was 4°C lower than it was in 1990, that was an ice age. "Boston is buried under almost a mile of ice".

Imagine such a dramatic climate change in the other direction, 5°C hotter than 1990.

Translate: "We have no idea what's wrong or how to fix it. But we've almost decided who to blame."

Here in BC Rogers came back about 4pm, but went down again around 7pm.

Also, the CRTC helpline and Service Canada and CRA account logins. We were unable to access government services.

Can you really describe kids or parents with any kind of meaning using a binary "good" and "bad"? Aren't most people great in situations that suit them and allow them to thrive and use their skills and talents, and bad in situations where they don't have the tools to be successful?

sorry, maybe bad and good we're the wrong words. What I meant was kids who are easy and plesent to be with vs kids who whine and make trouble constantly. kids who are cooperative vs kids who resist every small thing. kids who can volunteerly put down the screen and interact with people and the present situation/activity vs those that can't

They might have mispelled "bylaw" which is a municipal ordinance with legally binding power, but only on a local level.

Second place for "Then you could use a standard gravestone as a screwdriver..."

Agreed. You almost never see that much comedy packed into such a small space.

Mentally picturing 2 men using a grave stone as a 1/3 meter socket head is too funny, the ratchet making the chk-chk-chk-chk! as they wind up for another turn.

I doubt that's the case with this particular author.

Nobody cares about Yelp.

Ehhhhh maybe not for local restaurants, but I think Yelp is a lot of people's go-to source for finding restaurants when visiting a new location.

Yelp is the default restaurant rating display in Apple Maps. Between that and Google Maps, a lot of people are going to see those ratings and it does have some impact even if people don't trust them absolutely — otherwise businesses wouldn't feel that they needed to pay Yelp to hide bad reviews.

I search on Yelp when looking for a restaurant to go to. I’m more likely to go to places that show up higher in the search ranking, and the rating seems to be a big component of that.

Other the other hand, I don’t actually read the reviews at all. I do sometimes look at the user-uploaded photos.

They won't let you see much without the app. I've never been back.

I have the app because I’d rather be a first class citizen.

Plus, you're not getting a decent tip from them no matter how hard you try.

The trouble with that though is that you are never quite sure which type you are dealing with until you are done serving them and the bill has been paid.

I'd really love to see tipping go away forever, at least as an expectation

Yeah, that actually sounds like a cool concept.
