L&#39;OCA and Freson Brothers are comparably expensive, opened around the same time about 10 blocks apart, in an area with lots of people who aren&#39;t terribly price-sensitive. One of them is always busy. 2026-03-06T22:33:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxz8g38tp63zkr6e5l8e774r3rfzdyxff85l7yu44auxghjjpn7sqzyqm7gt3hkdps3258dtr8hh2ksu3r263cyukvrsh9920cecqx7sl9szpy38e In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgueskngy5ucqe0evjdvq3vk0a2t2jytu8sh7ggjjscgu06csmaeqzd0nyg'>nevent1q…0nyg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Just a note to clarify, as I think &#34;vote in the NDP leadership race at its convention in March&#34; might discourage some.<br/><br/>Members do not have to attend the convention to vote. 2026-01-28T17:09:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsygyvvq2g5jdznh58myvd83c7dtz03vsfhx8gtvt7m9gft4ykx22gzyqm7gt3hkdps3258dtr8hh2ksu3r263cyukvrsh9920cecqx7sl9sgusmjz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqxtpjeyclfv6lasny4xy7nz97xwuszjqvq8jmxzmasdxs32267xshlthvf'>nevent1q…thvf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Your selected quotes do have a survivorship bias. You can find these same kind of predictions for technologies that did fail. NFTs being a recent example of much hype, no follow-through.<br/><br/>The current raft of machine learning applications is broad enough that some things under the AI umbrella will definitely persist (my bets are on image and video generation, and translation being much more useful than chatbots), but time will tell if it really is the next big thing that people like me just don&#39;t understand, or 90% hype. 2025-09-30T22:35:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdej4ppqy4cgfwmkfs02arque72nvcskleus0mgk4k3w02u5ly24qzyqm7gt3hkdps3258dtr8hh2ksu3r263cyukvrsh9920cecqx7sl9sckzj2z In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqsa40792tmll67gvyn72xg79achd0wwupam07ln9uedgf86xvnq0jf5ms'>nevent1q…f5ms</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Small victory, or a meaningless concession? My guess is that it was removed because indigenous consultation is protected by treaty and the constitution.<br/><br/>Which could have held the whole law up in court, where conceding this one item gets them almost everything else they wanted. 2025-06-22T17:45:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfcqk2ztlqjv8drlfc6rhly6qqe0ch7ntkxjk6fjkg9v3r68a263gzyqm7gt3hkdps3258dtr8hh2ksu3r263cyukvrsh9920cecqx7sl9sqwc8jw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqe5n4y2qnvg8j3hel2wdzzc62z4dtjufj2z292wh8zf29wf28xeqtxgq23'>nevent1q…gq23</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m thankful that criminal law is federal.

I&#39;d put it off because I&#39;d heard heat pumps were really expensive, but it ended up not being too bad. 2025-06-19T14:06:47Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswrrqx5prl9ckv57zt439dkn6vkpndtq08eqqm4z3ud9u3dvj38nqzyqm7gt3hkdps3258dtr8hh2ksu3r263cyukvrsh9920cecqx7sl9scul3qz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxhd2dl5snmtyq6x28gdtcf64lmkuhjkmg65t7kr9tdwgnvqh05lqmqz9wy'>nevent1q…z9wy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Having only recently acquired AC, I&#39;d say 27 is fine if it cools off overnight. What forced us into AC was having heat waves where overnight temperatures stayed in the mid-20s, so each day just built up more and more heat in the house. 2025-06-19T03:29:13Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrph03gt2pu0sj036mjgshnhkacpwm670afr6htg5285v90wsk7pgzyqm7gt3hkdps3258dtr8hh2ksu3r263cyukvrsh9920cecqx7sl9skttuvz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyawj3eh2p8a62s4f920pec2gwvn9de9dkmctyquc82ex5c6v66as4txkd0'>nevent1q…xkd0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Would have a lot more sympathy if he didn&#39;t hold significant responsibility for folding the mainstream conservative party into the nutcase/separatist party.<br/><br/>Because the NDP winning just one election was so bad, empowering separatists was a priority. 2025-05-02T16:59:50Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszm70hzr35f69nqxzhxyhml0dh46eqq0ze9q8kuzln8qdk9veu5gczyqm7gt3hkdps3258dtr8hh2ksu3r263cyukvrsh9920cecqx7sl9s8rl7ny In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0rn74ulf3p7y2xytvuwpqw7sg0zhw3jzp5smrtfucts2dfvajqps8szz59'>nevent1q…zz59</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The problem being that there&#39;s a decent chance the original was written by an LLM, and that&#39;s why it doesn&#39;t fit together and communicate clearly. 2025-01-13T16:55:27Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsr9tfuhlnrf83y3rvh3l4duke0psu4zm2w4f06ldcsfeac97kwe0qzyqm7gt3hkdps3258dtr8hh2ksu3r263cyukvrsh9920cecqx7sl9s09w8qx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszp5qqqzgpj5fcpdlyshyfvl0t234yqvysr4c4k0ls8qg49sdr3esqylfqw'>nevent1q…lfqw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Conservatives everywhere use the concept of &#34;fiscal responsibility&#34; as a cudgel whenever there&#39;s a centrist or (good forbid) leftist government. Governments that are usually more responsible than Conservatives, if only because they&#39;re willing to exercise the revenue side of the equation.<br/><br/>It&#39;s not a real belief in balanced budgets. Just a political tool that plays well with the fools who vote conservative. 2024-12-20T03:44:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqv3jfan2f5vpqcdl8cplcqdfm8vw9q5kcqvv53h39hsqtc5p2pfszyqm7gt3hkdps3258dtr8hh2ksu3r263cyukvrsh9920cecqx7sl9sg78ch5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst4pclc3ammq48w8ar7wa8tlwcsgkza2ffae7fvklh4w24qghtrgcvf7sq0'>nevent1q…7sq0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That was my initial thought, too.

We certainly found adequate free facilities on our bike tour.<br/><br/>My suspicion, without having done a study, is that free facilities are about as common in France as they are here, but the existence of pay facilities makes it much easier to find a washroom at all. 2024-10-15T18:39:10Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0unaeg4p8c7vcrpja6w55k30ja4h0lh4m4s7zd02x8vkxytmu5rqzyqm7gt3hkdps3258dtr8hh2ksu3r263cyukvrsh9920cecqx7sl9sp7l35c In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqsf2qka5k8lv38r4hy0ecg2tayexjcv9cpxm7rhw89qj7ez6320ckn0e5j'>nevent1q…0e5j</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I would consider a trip to Ottawa for this.
