I wish they continued selling single-use bags and instead required them to be biodegradable/compostable. It's fine to charge for them, too.
Why? Because sometimes shit happens and you go to the grocery store without a reusable bag. You don't want to buy a reusable bag, you already have them at home. And those reusable bags are rarely recyclable or compostable either, so are they really greener than compostable single-use bags?
It is called the "unmatched count technique" or "list experiment." It has a wider error range, so you need to poll more people, but you get honest answers.
There is probably no horror comparable to burying one of your children.
At the same time, I don't believe anybody should be forced to live when they no longer want to. Suicidal ideation doesn't come out of nowhere, it is the consequence of a tormented life where the desire to stop suffering eventually overcomes the fear of dying.
I hope all involved find peace.
Where do bikes fit in your overall design?
Alcohol is bad for you too. Are you going to ban that?
I wish they did. My father died of alcoholism.
I can lend money to others without them as middlemen
Private banks are highly regulated businesses to avoid fraud and maintain the trust and stability of the financial system. They also play a key role in the creation of money supply. Banks literally create money when they issue a loan, something no other business can do.
and at the same time they seem to suggest that having money in banks is not risk-free
Because it isn't 100% risk free: your bank can default and if your cash balance exceeds the amount that is insured by the government you can lose that excess.
The central bank cannot go bankrupt because it issues its own currency. You could experience the effects of inflation, but you would be protected from bankruptcy.
That's why authorities are concerned about allowing citizens to hold their savings in central bank accounts.
You mean mixing businesses and residential units in the same walkable neighborhood like we've done for thousands of years? That would never work! We must maximize commuting distances in order to reduce traffic and commuting times.
Bugs gone in two days represents the experience of the only two independent instances where people I know had to deal with bedbugs. Your experience may be different and I respect that.
In both instances the professionals wanted to spray insecticide as I described, too.
No offense
L-O-L

You do you. A professional will ask you to move all your furniture, spray insecticide everywhere, come back two weeks later to repeat the same process again to kill the newly hatched eggs, and tell you that it is quite likely that the bugs will come back, so further rounds may be needed.
Diatomaceous earth pops up on every discussion because it works. Bugs gone in a couple of days, because D.E. sticks around to kill any larvae that hatch over the following weeks.
What makes you think Canada will take half a million refugees? UNHCR indicates that we have welcomed a little over a million since 1980.
The death of babies lowers life expectancy a lot more than the death of seniors. Since COVID predominantly kills the elderly, it means that if life expectancy is going down then COVID must still be really mowing seniors down, even though vaccines are available.
As I understand it, plastic checkout bags are banned federally, regardless of which sort of plastic they are made of. It sounds ridiculous, but that's what the law appears to say.
