Across the board: Fixed-cost fines, Instead of fines based on earnings; are just a cost of doing business. Always have been.

Damn.

I still remember playing the creative-only browser version for hours on end...

Edit: I miss the original sponges. Just place, and all water around it is permanently kept at bay. No drying needed. They made for some interesting water features.

The bridge was closer, costs $0 (as long as you're not caught by law enforcement), and it's difficult to enforce no-dumping laws as garbage doesn't ID it's owner most of the time and you just can't watch every dumping spot 24/7.

The people that do this are also not particularly wealthy. It's hard to justify the cost of transport and disposal fees when you struggle to feed and house yourself.

... People would be more likely to know the area of their home/floors vs the total volume...

When's the last time you saw a real estate ad with cubic inches/feet/meters on it?

This makes perfect sense.

The context you are missing is that these interactions aren't limited to strangers or the internet, and typically form a pattern of regular behaviour vs just a one off comment.

A person is a victim of and suffers from the effects of their own traumatic experiences and instead of learning to deal with them and heal, they induce others to suffer some those effects as well; thus turning others into victims of that same trauma.

It's not as big and dramatic as a murder, but it's still victimization.

No. It's not appropriate to take someone's joyful conversation about their experiences and shift the focus to you and your past trauma. It's an incredibly shitty thing to do.

To be clear; The previous comment was not a response to OP, it's a response to people that overshadow/intentionally bring down other peoples happiness with their past traumas. Like the humanoid character in the image did.

An alternative to having lazers shoot from your eyes.

Sorry you have trauma; stop making other people into victims of your trauma.

I shouldn't do math late after work....

(see the edit above)

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, but we have quite a few of our own as well. Taking advantage of the Rocky Mountains above and below the border.

If you're staying within city limits; the only speed signs you'd see much of the time are in parking lots/private property, explicitly slower than the public roadway speeds.

Southern BC.

Not sure what you mean by demand charges. Additional cost for peak hours perhaps? Not really a thing where I live.

Energy is billed at the lower of the two numbers I gave for the first ~1.4MWh, then the rest is billed at the higher rate. (metered between two months) It doesn't matter when you use the energy.

Aside from the energy costs, there's a ~$0.22/day base charge and 5% gst. That's it.

Edit: (see the edit in previous comment)

Record for Saudi, or record in general...?

'Cause I'm currently paying (CAD) between $109.7 and $140.8 (so USD $79.9 - $102.5) per MWh.

Edit: Damn it, I shifted a decimal in the mental conversion from KWh to MWh. Fixed the values above. (10x)

That Saudi power is much cheaper than I thought...
