Kudos to them and the 1900 participating retailers!

Just to mention, this is the equivalent of just 42 electric cars, which goes to show how inefficient and wasteful electric cars really are. Yet governments around the world provide billions of dollars of subsidies and rebates for electric cars while fully ignoring electric bicycles.

Saying maths is absolutely out of place here. Also taxes here aren't nearly as complicated as the US and there are a number of free tools available to file by yourself.

In a word, yes. Subsides to the tune of 100s of billions of dollars a year across the USA.

I think a more fair take is that we need growth in underdeveloped places and degrowth in highly developed places. It's less about changing the total economic output and more about changing how that output is distributed.

Connect is a great android app where you can block instances. Though I agree this should be a site wide feature.

What about if I need a knot that allows me to take a rope around a pole? Like a hitch.

Also a bowline haha. Wrap the rope around the pole and then tie a bowline as you usually would: make a bight on the trailing end and thread the leading end through. Bonus points for using a bowline with a yosemite finish to stop it from coming undone.

TIL a 1.5 hour drive away from Toronto is "just West of Toronto".

Great analogy with cars, I'm definitely going to steal that one.
