Not sure specifically what unit your talking about, but the ductless units are typically fixed outside of the house, not usually on the window itself. And then a hole is drilled through the house to provide the cooling/heating to the headless unit inside the room. This also eliminates the need to insulate like crazy around a window unit like you're talking about.

I swear the titles given nowadays can just be random words they threw together and called it a day

Ah I see, you're just commenting on an Ontario, Canada based post on a Canadian Lemmy instance is why I was curious :P

With the amount of admin bloat in most government and education sectors I honestly wouldn't even be surprised at this point if that was someones legit title.

She essentially was fetishizing her job online for money. I can definitely see that getting into some areas that would result in violating some sort of employment policy they agreed to.

To be fair that quote doesn't really hold true when someone is posting what they do in the bedroom online :P. Though this isn't a criminal thing anyway.

Any reason you're comparing to the UK and not the closer America? Always funny seeing how casually people can go into something like a convenience store and pickup some booze. Makes us seem so weirdly restrictive.

I'm almost convinced Trudeau did the weed in the beginning for similar reasons. Though I support what Doug is doing here, and what Trudeau did regarding weed, I do like to entertain the conspiracy theory thinking too. The less sober society is the easier it is to make bad policy decisions without as much pushback :D

That looks like one you have to plug in, but they seem to be talking about battery powered mowers.

Personally I like that metric. It would almost be nice to have both an "active users" as well as a view/visit count. It's nice knowing how much actual activity a community is getting. It's something that sometimes feels missing from reddit.

Yeah, if fines work like a "cost of doing business" that they just account for on their budget sheets then it's really just pointless. It's also hilarious when I see a government fine a company for doing something wrong, but the customers that got screwed over get none of the money AND the fine amount is not as much as the profit they gained off doing the action. It's like a double "fuck you" to the customer who got screwed over.

Yeah, cutting corners to make himself more money, and then we the taxpayers have to foot the bill for it. It's the reason we have things like "sin taxes". We allow people to make risky decisions because it ends up costing us more in things like medical expenses to treat their self imposed aliaments. In cases of gross negligence like this you should be on the hook for the costs to the emergency services.
