This phenomenon has gotten so bad on Uber that I've started using the Beck Taxi app and it's often faster and cheaper than Uber. Preposterous state of affairs.
Pet peeve with @uber:
You request a ride with an estimated 3 min pickup time, but as soon as someone accepts it jumps to 8 min.
Then the driver sits there another 6 min before moving an inch, and takes 12 min to arrive.
Fix your app if you are gonna pull this nonsense.
@TristinHopper What percentage of people answering yes can explain why countries in the northern hemisphere locate their space launch facilities as far south as possible?
@jengerson Leaving aside the absurdity of making threats over something like this, I’d actually be interested in reading a piece that talks about whether Canada‘s forest fire management really is as useless as they say it is in comparison to the United States’.
Is this a "you finance a bridge for the benefit of both our nations" kind of situation? Or an Obama red line? Or a Trump "we'll destroy your civilization" threat? Or a Clinton era "we'll have your back if you give up your nukes" kind of final warning?
Like, give me a ballpark.
People have asked about this, it's the French Army wine chilling truck, known as the 'Véhicule de combat à refroidir'. Deployed on all operations it ensures the White and Rosé is served at the correct temperature during meals.
@EricDLombardi I think downloading was always an excuse to allow provincial politicians to get away with not managing their constitutional responsibilities. Housing isn't a federal responsibility; neither is health care. Ontario SHOULD be handling those on its own. And doing far better.
By hydrological definition, if two bodies of water are at the same surface elevation with no barrier between them, they are the same lake. Michigan-Huron share identical water levels at 577 feet (176 m) above sea level.

🚨 The video of Rashida Tlaib screaming her brains is from last summer at the People's for Conference for Palestine in Detroit.
I weaseled my way into that terrorist trade show. Let me tell you, it was not to be believed.
Thousands of attendees honored Hamas snipers like Anas al-Sharif.
Seminars were taught in back rooms about how to flood social media for "Palestine," and normalize antisemitic messaging at our universities and lower schools.
They held classes on how to isolate Jewish students on campuses, how to intimidate and shame them. This was happening in America under a Trump administration.
There were calls for violent uprisings and distribution of terrorist propaganda, which is a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 2339B, lending material support to U.S.-designated terror organizations.
Hamas supporters from universities gave instructions on how to take over your workplace, your local political offices, your hospitals, your campuses, and force them to discuss "Palestine" as much as humanly possible.
They trained attendees on how to disrupt supply chains and shut businesses down.
There was a prize wheel that you could spin to win literature about female Palestinian terrorists. A table away, inverted red-triangle pins were for sale, to show your solidarity with Hamas.
It was THE definition of a terrorist launching pad, and it happened at a convention center in downtown Detroit for 3 days.
Professors from over a dozen universities spoke at this event, urging campuses to violently rise up and force their universities to divest from Israel and make Gaza their compass.
Communism is mild compared to the threat from this movement. In fact, Communism is merely the conduit to ushering in a monster that's far, far worse.
I'll be blunt: with all due respect, our Education Secretary can't handle what this is, and has zero comprehension of what it's going to take to stop it. I don't say that lightly.
We need a separate task force for academia with the backing and power of the intelligence agencies, because this movement is partnering with Communists on our federally funded campuses.

This is superb. Sinn Fein MEP scolds the European parliament for not providing interpreters to let her speak in Irish. She's told that the Irish interpreters are present. She flubs for a moment and then continues in English, because she doesn't actually speak Irish
It looks like Iran is planning to attack Israel and other countries beyond the Gulf states. The Islamic regime is planning huge terrorist attacks in the West, from Washington to London. The world has a choice: act now or pay later. Follow the UAE and U.S. doctrine: ZERO tolerance for terror. ZERO tolerance for aggression. Crush the threat before it strikes.
