Underconsumption is cooler than a tax break.
I'll continue to fight drivers on the road with my life, I deserve space to bike without being harassed. Helmet cams help a LOT.
Would love real wood if I wasn't so deathly afraid of bedbugs. The risk is too high, especially with used wood furniture having all sorts of small nooks and holes maybe even in areas that can't be seen.
It is sadly also more convenient for me to order IKEA stuff delivered than doing a carshare ride out to it (the Montreal one is so far and way out of the way from downtown / west core)
I absolutely loved Rhodes and am so so so eager to return. Would love to visit Lesbos and Milos too.
but yes agree on Santorini, and Mykonos, both lovely but very over toured.
Today, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) announced it has received a strike mandate from its members. With the cooling-off period coming to an end on November 2, Canada Post and CUPW must approach the negotiations with greater urgency to avoid a labour disruption.
Potential strike coming from Canadian postal workers.

I react badly to Canadian milk after it’s been ultra-pasturized but I’m not lactose intolerant.
Dawg I think you might be lactose intolerant.
yknow soy, almond, oat, etc non-milk beverages are seriously a great alternative with all needed nutrients...
I bought a new cassette, chain and derailleur for my main bike; it's probably 20-30 years old in it's frame and has some signs of wear, but those parts are probably the most I've "invested" in keeping it running well. Compare to a car with new belts, filters, etc. It's crazy our cities are not designed more densely.

> Canada Post proposes new postage rates for 2025. Price of a domestic stamp would rise 25 cents in move to better align with rising cost of providing the service
> While rate increases are necessary, Canada Post understands that they mean additional costs for customers, and the Corporation works to minimize the impact. For the average Canadian household, the rate increase is estimated to have an impact of $2.26 per year. For the average Canadian small business, the estimated impact is $42.17 per year.1 Permanent™ stamps will always be accepted at the current domestic postage price.
Further details
> For a domestic letter (30 grams or less), the price of a single stamp would increase from $1.15 to $1.44. When purchased in a booklet, coil or pane, the price would increase from 99 cents to $1.24 per stamp.
> The proposed rate changes would also affect other products, including U.S., international letter-post and domestic Registered Mail™ items, with a corresponding increase of about 25 per cent on average. Commercial letter mail rates follow regulated rates and would also see an increase of about 25 per cent on average.
> The proposed rates were published 2024-09-06 for public comment in Part I of the Canada Gazette. Subject to regulatory approvals, the new rates would take effect January 13, 2025.
My comment: As expected. I HIGHLY recommend checking the Canada Gazette chart on price increases.
From canadapost-postescanada.ca:
>TORONTO – Canada Post is excited to unveil our latest stamp set celebrating the early years of MuchMusic and MusiquePlus. The groundbreaking, often interactive television stations revolutionized the way we listen to music – fans could finally SEE the stars in action in a new format: the music video.
>Launched in August 1984 and broadcast from Toronto, MuchMusic was one of Canada’s first specialty cable channels, quickly reaching five million households only a few short years later. MusiquePlus began broadcasting out of Montréal in 1986, and quickly emerged as the top platform for homegrown Francophone artists to strut their stuff alongside other big names.
>Through engaging programming, MuchMusic and MusiquePlus almost instantly became the gigs everybody had to play, shining a spotlight on such Canadian artists as Blue Rodeo, Kashtin, Les Colocs, Alanis Morissette, Les Trois Accords and Avril Lavigne. Fans gathered at the stations - both inside and outside - for live performances by homegrown stars like Jean Leloup, Roch Voisine, Les BB or Mitsou or global legends like David Bowie and Duran Duran. Now, MuchMusic lives on as a prominent Canadian entertainment brand across social media, bringing its iconic irreverence and perspective to a new generation.
>Canada Post has a long history of celebrating Canadian music and musicians on our stamps, including a new stamp featuring Sarah McLauchlan released this past September, along with stamps commemorating icons like Elisapie, Oscar Peterson, k.d. lang, The Tragically Hip, Leonard Cohen, Salome Bey, and many more. The MuchMusic and MusiquePlus stamps were unveiled in Toronto and Montréal, respectively.
About the stamp issue:
>The lively, colourful stamp illustrations depict the iconic buildings that housed MuchMusic in Toronto and MusiquePlus in Montréal are drawn from the perspective of the cheering crowd that would regularly gather outside the stations. Printed by Lowe-Martin, the stamp issue includes a booklet of 8 Permanent™ domestic rate stamps, and two Official First Day Covers.
>The stamp and collectibles are available at canadapost.ca and postal outlets across Canada.
I am thinking more relating to how on Reddit you can "message the mods"; is there any function like this on Lemmy, or do I have to message mods individually?
The great thing about bikes is that there's just... a shitload out there, especially vintage repairable units. And LOTS of vintage frames and parts that are often tossed to the road as trash, just cleanly available to take. It does of course require one to have the drive to do the repairs yourself, but that is another thing; thank goodness DIY bike repair shops exist.
if you're talking about the comic, me too
many people live in the suburbs which are not mixed zone areas; hence most stock up at supermarkets etc since getting there can be a 15-30 minute drive, let alone walking/biking.
OTTAWA – Canada Post is proposing to increase postage rates in 2024. For stamps purchased in a booklet, coil or pane, which represent the majority of stamp sales, the rate would increase by seven cents, to 99 cents per stamp. The new rates would take effect May 6, 2024.

Half-Life Alyx wasn't good enough for you? Sheesh, go play ANY of the HL mods or many other new games released. Bad hill to die on...
it's an excuse for an occasion to get together with friends/family. that's it.
Yes but it varies store to store. you could also submit a corporate complaint and hope they reply with a coupon of some sort...
What purpose does japan have for this ammonia in the end? what do they use it for?
Exactement! J'ai vu trop de réponses du genre "ah, c'est tellement négatif". Oui, une vie " liée" à une voiture est une vie négative !
