The hiring pool of spouse-beaters is looking kinda dry these days...

To keep people up to speed: The conditions put by FIFA on Vancouver were revealed a couple weeks ago it included:

No other major sporting events are permitted within a week of the start and end of the World Cup. Other large “cultural events,” like concerts, are also not allowed on the individual days before and after game days.

Not exactly sure what counts as a major sporting event under these terms.

There is a thing we could do to tackle the existence of billionaires in a world stricken by poverty...

Ah yes, I should have specified the weird racist conservative kind, not the weird, friendly but quirky kind of uncle.

I want a basic app that has no frills, is snappy, and does its job well. Lemmy fits that, and is no more or less than I need. I have a separate masto account.

Ah... I infer that with the daily economic and social chaos and confusion caused by this administration, many businesses had no idea if their own outlook was good or bad. The ones less affected would respond positively, right away so earlier data may have extrapolated from that.

Yeah I'm skeptical of any of these reports, I won't put any belief in it until we see the New York case culminate and evidence-based signs of widespread vote manipulation or glitches that coincidentally help Trump.

This is what happens when you let the weird uncles rule your country.

That's pretty RAD-eon.

 

Video shared from a Mastodon user.

 

Some Lemmy user at one point had asked about a "multi-paste" feature, if there was a way to use keyboard shortcuts to display multiple clipboard items and copy/paste them out at will (this user mentioned similar to RTS games they like to play). ~~If someone can find that post, can you notify them and direct them here, please? I'm having trouble locating it but I recollect that it was within the last 3 months.~~ Edit: I found the post!

Somehow this was stuck in my mind when I accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut, that showed my last 5 copied items. This isn't exactly what the user was looking for but I thought I'd publicize it here.

If you use Fcitx (because you need multi-language input) from the fcitx5 packages, then you may already have installed the clipboard add-on. You can use fcitx with just one keyboard layout. By default, it's activated by Ctrl+semicolon and shows the 5 last entries, but the number can be configured.

The edition is called: "Take The A Train 9 Version 5.0 Final Edition Complete Pack DX+"

Train Construction Pack Steam Page

Unfortunately, the ridiculously titled combo pack's Steam page appears to be region locked to Japan, the DVD version is also Japan/Japanese only.

 
 

The motion was shared here earlier:

https://lemmy.ca/post/25243197

There were 35 speakers in support, 1 speaker in opposition. The amendment and motion were supported unanimously by councillors. There were hundreds of comments received, largely in support.

The 49th Avenue, 41st Avenue, 4th Avenue, Granville Street, and Hastings Street corridors were talked about most. The amendment added Granville Street to the list of corridors of focus, and inclusion of TransLink's report for city staff reference. Another important point was the request for automated buslane enforcement.

 

Chapter 19 of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 edition of Mandate for Leadership (Direct PDF link) is full of policies that would be terrible for the US.

Highlights:

  • Replace national transportation infrastructure projects with a flat transportation subsidy formula to each state (most of whose DoTs don't know how to do anything with money other than build highways)
  • Stop funding mass transit, give public funds to Rideshare companies like Uber/lyft instead.
  • Preserve single family home zoning at all costs. Each state and city knows what is best for their people, better than the federal government, except when states and cities do something that conservatives don't like.
  • Screw California in particular.
  • Trying to reduce the number of traffic fatalities is bad if anyone dare suggests that we have to drive a little bit slower.
