Lol, never said it was, but the ratio is better. And because of that it's actually possible to block the trolls over here.

Makes for a much better experience.

Lol, I read the title, and the first thing I thought was how on other platforms something like this would be flooded with boys posting things like "keep him" or "stay there", but I'm glad comments are more mature on Lemmy, but clearly there are still a few people who struggle writing anything meaningful.

I suspect it's because these facilities are large.

According to this statscan post from a few years ago. There were nearly 200000 long term care beds spread across the 648 facilities (at the time)

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/210916/dq210916c-eng.htm

With 300 inspectors, they would need to in inspecting 650 beds a year, or 2-3 beds a day.

I wish the article went into more details on how these inspections work, because those numbers do seem low, and I doubt a facility would be pleased having an inspector there 4-6 months every year...

Where on earth are finding decent vehicles for under 8k??

Unless your current truck is 10-15 years old and has over 250k km on it...

Only if companies are paying more for what you're seeing.

The classic example would be loosely related games showing at the top of search results because some paid for them to be sponsored posts. Or something like that

I think I often hope occasionally reporting comments helps slowly make the platforms better. But it really doesn't seem to 😞

Both can be true. And YouTube premium also addressed that issue.

Part of the reason YouTubers have 3rd party sponsor spots is because viewer an blocking makes their Adsense revenue unreliable.

YouTube premium helps address that for creators.

It wouldn't surprise me if some sponsors already demand viewership data to know how many people are skipping baked-in sponsor spots and uses that to pay creators less.

Finding more ways to avoid compensating creators isn't going to make the situation better.

Here in Canada it isn't granular, every alert is sent at the "presidential" level

The emergency alert system isn't meant for informational updates.

Using it to broadcast updates on when power is going to be restored isn't what it's meant for

What emergency safety features? Making a 911 call?

The last time a major weather event happened it was really hard to get updated information, the power was out, internet was down. I only had an old battery powered radio that still had an FM tuner.

As time passes fewer and fewer devices have the FM tuners, and it's less and less likely I have spare working batteries for them. A phone on the other hand, I'm already setup with backup batteries I can use to recharge it, I don't need to be as "prepared" to be able to stay up to date if it could still pick up the radio

He's a dem who doesn't seem to share any views with other Dems.

He singlehandedly delayed or outright prevented many large bills from going through.

When Bidens term is looked back upon, Manchin will be the force that prevented Biden from pushing though some of his more progressive plans.
