Thanks ChatGPT.

Yeah, I don't have much hope of it happening in Ontario with our current government. It seems too difficult to use in a way that enriches him or his buddies. Best we can hope for is it happening right before the next election in hopes that we ignore all the corruption and just think "hey, ~~buck a beer!~~ ~~$200 cheques!~~ no more time change!"

Other than the poorly implemented experiment in the States, who else has reverted? Saskatchewan is (effectively) permanent daylight time, as are Argentina, Malaysia, and Singapore. Possibly there's a bunch of other countries that I don't know about as well.

Quebec hasn't passed legislation, but they've agreed in theory to do it if Ontario and New York also do it.

So we're pretty much just waiting on New York.

Japan's electrical grid is pretty outdated and has been pushed to it's limit. It simply cannot support an influx of EVs. That's why the government has been pushing hydrogen, which can be produced from electricity like you said, but is "better" produced from natural gas or coal, which they have easy access to. It's a terrible solution to the problem.

Hydrogen also solves the range anxiety issue by being incredibly energy dense, with the minor downside of occasionally exploding.

I've seen recipes, which are basically just cocoa butter and cocoa powder, and they seem pretty simple, though I've never tried them.

Most chocolate "making" just starts with chocolate callets. Melt them, temper it, put it in moulds, and add filling. I've done this, and it's not that difficult. Of course, the quality here depends on the quality of the callets, so if you start with Hershey's (not sure if they even make callets), it'll still taste like vomit.

This may not be you specifically, but more than two-thirds of Americans directly or indirectly chose this clown as your president.

The fight you want to join? It's already started. The people best positioned to stop this are being fired. The checks and balances are being removed or taken over.

Is that a concession? I don't think he actually wants to be president anymore.

Don't get me wrong, it's the correct "deal" to make - it's the most overt declaration he can make to those who claim he wants to be dictator for life - I just think it's probably a win/win for him.

Spotify gave Joe Rogan a platform, which likely contributed to the current situation in the US.

How many specific bands are you trying to support? It might be better for everyone if you just send them $5 directly and pirate their stuff.

It can be hard to separate art from artist, but just keep in mind that you've already paid for those books. He isn't getting more money from you just rereading them, and nothing changes if you continue to enjoy the books.

Most people don't "back" Trudeau. We tolerate him because the likely alternative is so much worse.

That's the thing though. The people flying the duck Trudeau flags don't understand that we don't have unwavering loyalty to the party. They don't understand nuance. And it's going to destroy Canada during the next election.

aside from ensuring the fundamentals are in place of affordable accessible homes, is there really any realistic way of nullifying that advantage and is it even right to do so?

I don't think that's an aside, I think that's the key to solving a lot of problems with our current society. Give everyone a roof and enough nutritious food, and most people can figure out how to live their lives from there. The problem is that the lack of housing and food options forces people into low paying jobs with no upward mobility, and continues the cycle of poverty.
