Do you think they may be tasting the chlorine in their water bowl? I've read somewhere that mammals can generally taste chlorine in the water, humans included though we're used to it. Your fish tank likely has no chlorine in it and is "moving water" thanks to the filter.

I know my dog prefers filtered water to tap water because he's a little prince.

That mix sounds like a miso soup tbh 😁

Hydrogen powered motion technology is a fat cope from the fossil fuel industry. Most hydrogen is either blue (bio) or gray (fossil) hydrogen, whose manufacturing releases pollutants. Only the rare green hydrogen is renewable, and it is more expensive.

They do have some advantages, such as better range and speed of charge, but hydrogen cars seem to mostly be a technological dead end while batteries get better.

EVs should replace cars that need to be replaced, let's not re-create the ecological disaster that was "cash 4 junkers".

And yes, they should go alongside a large reduction in total vehicles on the road using practical, fast, accessible, clean (as in maintained) electric and cheap public transit subsidized mostly by car owners and in small part by other taxes.

Let's reduce traffic and traffic violence by reducing the total number of vehicles from the road, making driver's ed more complete and stricter, and gently discouraging people in high-density, transit-friendly cities from owning personal vehicles.

We will also see the costs of road maintenance go down, unused lanes that can be reclaimed, and less asphalt to absorb heat and keep the earth from draining properly, all while keeping the remaining car traffic relatively efficient, with less idling and faster time to destination while requiring lower speeds, which EVs excel at.

Sorry, I've ranted all over this thread, but I feel very strongly about a balanced and supported approach to mass transit, car dependence reduction and picking the right usage model (car pool, car share, rental, ownership) and car size for your needs.

People hate to hear it, but renting is transactional. People provide rental units as an investment, not for funnies.

There's no magic formula where one can pay less for rent than the monthly fee the landlord pays the bank, city and government for the place.

The alternative is people stop investing in rental units, we get fewer regular people renting out spaces and more large corporations who will do the bare legal minimum to keep the place livable while keeping the rent as high as possible.

The core of the issue is unsustainably high real estate costs, which not only balloons the cost of purchasing a property, but also balloons property taxes as they are based on the estimated value of the property, not the amount paid for it. This means landlords pay higher taxes for the same property year over year, even if the mortgage stays the same.

Earlier this month, a Quebec Superior Court judge ruled in a class-action lawsuit that racial profiling is a systemic problem in the Montreal police force, and that the city is responsible for profiling committed by its police officers. Justice Dominique Poulin ordered the City of Montreal to pay $5,000 to people arrested without justification and racially profiled.

The force has also released two reports since 2019 showing that racialized people are disproportionately targeted by police during random street checks.

No before shot as it's been a while since I bought this, but the previous item was in the same can, filled almost to the top, and 500g.
