I man, the Montreal product protocol absolutely succeeded at protecting and eventually repairing damage to the ozone layer. So, if nothing else, that one's a win on multiple levels.
It's just that the powers that be decided that they didn't want to go through all that hassle again and the "people" decided that they were done sacrificing.
I was responding to your comment "it's getting annoying" in response to AI features being added to oss tools. Either way, we've lost the plot in this thread lol. No hard feelings man. Have a good day! :)
Not integrating the tools that the users want to use is how you end up in a situation 10 years down the road where people say "oh, oss-version-of-my-favourite-tool doesn't have A, B, and C so I can't use it" and lose another gen of users.
Externalized costs are a thing though. For instance, a coal plant spewing smoke (and radiation) costs everyone else money. A nuclear plant OTOH is usually responsible for dealing with all of its own shit. So it's not always an apples to apples comparison to consider just the profitability of a project.
I mean, I was told to take ibuprofen for the pain too, not like they sent me home without any treatment lol. 😅
Waiting periods - I'm in Toronto, so I may be biased as the situation varies dramatically from one place to another. Yes, there's some waiting period compared to private hospitals in India.
If I have to see my family doctor, appointments are 1-2 weeks away. If you go to an ER for something that doesn't need an ER you'll end up waiting for over 12 hours while people who need immediate attention get priority (think heart attack, stroke, road accident etc).
There's no viable in-between, so non-emergency urgent requirements fall through the cracks and lead to a ton of frustration and annoying wait times. Eh: broken bones, high fever etc. where you're not actively doing so ER deprioritized you but you can't wait for 2 weeks to see your family doctor either.
I don't have experience with major issues like biopsies, mri etc and I've heard mixed opinions about timelines for those - a lot of the negative reviews were from the covid restrictions era though.
All that said, dentists are not a part of ohip. I paid using a combo of private insurance and cash. My dentist (55+ y/o - semi retired) works five hours a day, three days a week. He is not under any pressure. He prescribed opioids for pain because that's the norm.
Your comment reminded me of this moment I had at an office lunch table:
Someone from sales: I've been having a terrible day, the P-O-C at {client company} is being annoying yadda yadda.....
Someone from HR: glaring, and taking mental notes.
Me, a dev: wondering how things could've gone wrong considering that we hadn't even shipped anything for them.
It took us all a moment to realize that "PoC " meant different things to each of us - Point of Contact, Person of Colour, and Proof of Concept. Somehow the salesperson could've been talking about any of those and it'd make, so none of us questioned ourselves first.
Adding to everyone else's recommendations - Earth's Own barista's oat milk is amazing. It was the the one that helped my family stop buying cow's milk.
Thanks!
Probably a dumb question, but here it goes-
Escape velocity is the velocity needed to escape the moon/planet's gravity without any further propulsion, right?
A stone thrown upwards would slowly lose its velocity and then start falling back because there's no engine to keep it going.
But an "ideal spherical bird" could keep going at a constant velocity of 20m/s to escape whatever planet it wants to leave, right?
Does the escape velocity really matter here? (Assuming that all other issues like lack of air are ignored)

I'm not flexing, I'm acknowledging the reality of the people we share the world with.

Eh, they have to drive on the same shitty roads, be stuck in the same traffic, breathe the same air, and on and on.. sauce: been there, done that.
But ковер плесень did it first and better!
But those have a positive impact on society.
Other people don't exist for our entertainment or amusement. If a "not beautiful" person wants to be naked, that's their choice.
Eh.. a bath house != Bath tub
Bath houses still exist in Japan and a bunch of other countries. They don't feel thaaaat weird after the initial shock wears off.
Didn't you see that Elliot and Lupita had roles in the movie and appeared on screen for a few minutes? That's woke - to some people.

Or the colour choices for Morocco...
Hygiene as in I don't want to get doxxed, or have someone compiling a profile on me. What do I care if a rando takes me seriously or not? 🤷♂️
Not op, but I keep deleting and creating new accounts too. It just internet hygiene at this point.
I'm from Bora Bora btw. See?

My personal experience -
I met with an accident while riding a bike in India. I described my pain as 7/10 and I was told "it'll go away in a few days". That was it.
After immigrating to Canada, I had to get a tooth extraction done. The dentist prescribed acetaminophen with opiates "in case it hurts too much".
It did hurt, but nowhere close to what I had previously experienced. 🤷♂️
