And why the fuck is alcohol taxed so damn high then? I thought that was the compromise.


Using the most recent data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information on hospital bed costs (2016), Huska’s time at the Oakville hospital likely cost over $450,000 - ($3,592 per day for ICU care) with an additional 61 days in a ward bed which likely cost about $1,200 a day

A liver transplant in Ontario is pegged at about $71,000 to $100,000 in Ontario based on data from 2019. “It’s a shame that so much money was spent keeping her alive under such horrendous circumstances and putting her family and her partner under such stress when the remedy was a lot cheaper and could have happened much, much sooner,” said Selkirk.

The survival rate of patients with alcohol-related liver disease who receive a deceased donor liver transplant has steadily improved to reach 80–85 per cent at one year after a transplant.

Can anyone make this add up?


This might be of interest

Edit:

There are plans to add more curation by adding support for manual postings and federation. That would allow people with similar interests to connect, acting more like a trusted community. However, this is still work in progress.



"Justin Trudeau has proven again and again he will always cave to corporate greed. The Liberals have let people down

Can’t argue with that. I’m worried though. I’ll vote NDP but I have a bad feeling Conservatives will win.




I’m aware of scene releases in general but not* really specifically to music, and I’m really into music.







RCMP investigating after bomb threat sent to Jewish institutions across Canada
>**Police say no explosives have been found after mass email sent Wednesday morning** >Wednesday morning, Indian [media outlets](https://www.dailypioneer.com/2024/state-editions/bomb-threat-emails-target-hospitals--malls.html) reported that an email with seemingly identical wording had been sent to "[at least 100](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/bomb-threat-at-over-100-hospitals-and-malls-in-delhi-ncr/articleshow/112664760.cms)" hospitals, companies and government institutions in New Delhi. Did this happen in any other country or is someone targeting Canada and India specifically?

Soulseek is freely open and barely even requires a login if you ever want to look.


Have you tried private trackers?

Edit: or soulseek?

I’m searching on the Seeker app but use Nicotine+ on desktop.

(this is like oldschool p2p, those are live clients and searching at other times may reveal more or less)


Only on YouTube but it’s crowdsourced. SponsorBlock for ReVanced is the only way to watch for me.


I mean, depending on how far back we’re going that would really only leave the Indigenous.






I still think they are but maybe my needs are simple. It was definitely better when I switched over (from godaddy*) during one of the migrations.


Not to mention it’s run by a monopoly that prefer to only fix when broken over pro-active maintenance


I doubt she opened his water for him lol. Bars feel different though since I’m likely to get more than one drink and a tip ensures I won’t have to wait for my next.


The Torontonian and recent university graduate had just finished a run and wanted to rehydrate. The barista behind the counter handed Montelli the water bottle and turned the point-of-sale (POS) machine — with large tip prompts for up to 20 per cent — to him.

Montelli paid for the water without leaving a tip, and decided to share his experience on TikTok.

Would anyone tip in this scenario?



Soulseek is good for music preservation. Try Nicotine+ client or Seeker on Android.







Surprisingly real-debrid also works for this. It’s paid but if the other site doesn’t work and you only need a few let me know.






Our electoral system could certainly still use some work but I am thankful to live somewhere where at least there’s more than two options.


I’ll continue to vote NDP but you know Conservatives would do worse.




>**World Central Kitchen is demanding an independent investigation on the strikes.** >Jonathan Duguay, a close friend of Flickinger who was working in Cyprus for World Central Kitchen at the time of the attack, told The Canadian Press in an interview that Flickinger wasn’t afraid because the aid deliveries were co-ordinated with Israel’s assistance. Article content > >“We had an agreement with the IDF,” said Duguay. “There was a special route. They knew where we were.” > >Flickinger joined World Central Kitchen last fall to help recover from PTSD developed during his tour in Afghanistan. He and his partner, Sandy Leclerc, had recently moved to Costa Rica with their son, who is 18 months old.

14% of Quebec’s organ donors in 2022 were people who chose medically assisted death
>Researchers say 64 people in Quebec donated their organs after receiving medical assistance in dying between 2018 and the end of 2022, representing 14 per cent of all gifted organs in the final year of the study. Not many organs overall really. >Lead author Dr. Matthew Weiss, medical director at Transplant Quebec, says many of the 245 people referred for donation withdrew from the process over concerns about some aspect of it, but there's no detailed data about their reasons. > >He says some may have decided not to donate after learning they would be required to receive MAID medications in hospital instead of at home, so that organs could be retrieved quickly after their heart stopped. I respect their wish to not pass in a hospital. It's too bad they have to choose one or the other. >The only other countries where organ donations after medical assistance in dying are legal are Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. This is interesting and does make me hope we watch this closely and don't let the wrong insensitives get involved.

Loblaw backs away from plan to end 50% discount on food nearing best-before date
>"We've listened to the feedback from our customers and colleagues and are reverting [where it existed before] to the 50 per cent off discounts," the company, whose stores include Atlantic Superstore, No Frills, Dominion and Freshmart to name a few, told CBC News in an email on Friday. > >"In the Atlantic, we had not implemented the change and will not. In the rest of the country, customers can expect to see 50 per cent stickers returning in the next few weeks." They're all crooks

[Discussion] Have you ever pirated something because you forgot you own it?
I wanted to try out Serato Sample's new stem separation tool added in 2.0 so I downloaded a crack to see if it was worthwhile. Only now a week later do I remember I purchased the old version on sale and think to check if it's a free upgrade. Now I can't decide if I want to bother uninstalling and installing my legitimate copy

[Request] Remove ads from Duolingo?
I'm on android and I'm wondering if there's any way to skip the ads without getting premium? I don't need the premium features necessarily but I hate the ads interrupting my practice. Anyone have any reliable leads? Thank you.

[solved] why are torrents with reportedly thousands of seeders staying at 0.0 on qbittorent?
I allowed qbittorent to make a fire rule exception but I turned it off to make sure. I've tried using no VPN and still nothing so that's not an issue. Anyone have any insight? Or perhaps another reliable source for large games? Sorry for the basic question. I feel like my piracy know how hasn't evolved in a decade. I don't usually bother with pirating games but I'm trying to help someone. I tried from two sources and one is stuck on stalled and the other has said "downloading metadata" for over a day. Thank you Edit: I realized the whole program was offline so I played with the port settings (selected a random one and added a new firewall rule) and now they're working. Not sure what caused the issue in the first place but I've decided to leave this post up in case someone else has a similar problem.
