'Effectively, we're out of business': U.S. tariffs cut Manitoba honey farm off from vast majority of customers

Reply in thread

Yeah, i dont understand this situation....

2 years to prepare, and now they dont even mention TRYING to pivot or find other business. They just throw up their hands and say "we bankrupt"

there's always articles about fake chinese honey in the canadian market.... so clearly there is a market share available domestically for canadian honey take

That lawsuit against Steam’s 30% cut of game sales is now a class action, meaning many other developers could benefit

Steam singlehandedly stopped piracy overnight for me.

Developers were getting $0 from me before steam, and thousands of $$$ from me after steam.

The 30% cut is well worth it for developers, plus all the other services steam provides. Kids have no idea how buying, installing, modding, patching games used to be like.

You cant compare this to the apple app store

Name another platform that has gone 20 years without completely enshittifying itself.

We can start shitting on steam when they turn evil

I havent pirated a single game since i installed steam 20 years ago

There was a short period of time where netflix was good enough so i didnt pirate movies or tv shows either

It's 100% a service problem

American XL bully dogs to be banned after attacks, Rishi Sunak says

I'm not a dog breed expert, but...

The other day an agressive dog that looked like a pitbull, suddenly lunged at me barking loudly... It was about 10ft away from me but still scared the shit out of me

The owner yanked the dog back on its leash and i thought, "FML, the only thing that saved me from a deadly mauling was a 3/4 inch wide piece of nylon with a metal clip the guy bought off amazon for $5"

Drivers Who Run Red Lights Get Tickets. E-Bike Riders Get Court Dates.

Cars running red lights = driver slamming on the gas trying to beat the yellow. 3000kg of steel and glass travelling at 60+km/hr in a crowded city

Bikes "running" red lights = riders looking both ways and coasting through when it's clear... 100kg of flesh and aluminium going 10km/hr

These are not even remotely close to the same levels of danger...

So while everyone should follow the rules, enforcement should focus on those with the potential to do the most damage
