If it was just as fast to walk, then he should have walked. But by taking a vehicle into the street while intoxicated he enters DUI territory.
As for your wheelchair comment i think the context matters. I doubt they would charge someone who needs the wheelchair with a DUI in the scenario but someone just taking a motorized wheelchair for a drunken joyride down the road will likely end up with a DUI.
Given he was operating it on the road, he would be a hazard to himself and a distraction/hazard to other drivers.
I'd say it doesn't lessen the seriousness of a DUI. They take the DUI so seriously they'll even get you in the pink barbie jeep.
Maybe, but japan has a much different culture towards work and commitment than western countries. Burn out culture is very normal for the populace.
Personally i somewhat believe the 2 hrs a night thing but i suspect there are naps throughout the day if thats the case. Id guess she gets 4-6 hrs broken up throughout the day.
I can vouch that a shower beer often brings my energy back post shower.
My schedule changes frequently. On days i start at a normal time i tend to get things done in the mornings. Days i start early i get stuff done after work. I find the best trick for getting stuff done after work is to start right away. Even sitting for just 5 minutes can be detrimental to my motivation.
Part of what helps motivate me is in my area electricity is cheapest between 7pm and 7am. So i try to do things like laundry early in the morning and i try not to use my computer much until after 7pm. Even my wifi is often off during daytime hours (i live alone and work away from home). I know the savings are minor, but i find that extra financial incentive is all i need sometimes to wash the dishes at 6:30 pm and relax afterwards.
Japan is also very short on space which i think is a major factor in why they use incinerators more than traditional landfills.
Why would a city go through all the logistics of running a green cart collection just to toss it on the same pile of trash? Some loads may be too contaminated to be composted but the vast majority of cities collecting organics seperately will turn it into compost. Your city's website likely has more details about how their landfill and collections operate.
I have a fork that has lived in my work van for over 3 years. A little bit of spit and napkin and its ready to go, maybe some hand sanitizer if I'm feeling fancy.
Right so we should just never plant trees and never even try to give back to the planet that provides everything we need to live because one day that tree might be ripped out or cut down, or die naturally.
Many cities process the organic waste at their landfill sites. They also often allow people to come buy the compost from the landfill.
Most green bin programs are run by municipal governments. Big polluters are typically regulated by state/provincial governments or federal governments.
Canada was going to have the inequality anyway. The immigration is a scapegoat for the declining quality of life but many policy decisions outside of immigration were already impacting quality of life. The housing bubble and oligarchy/monopoly of major sectors (grocceries, telecommunications etc) are the main issues driving inequality in Canada.
Canada could support its ambitious immigration goals if it were willing to invest in the country to support them, such as extensive public transit overhauls and nationalizing essential services like rail, communications, and energy.
