Doors Open Waterloo Region is held every year on the third Saturday of September. Come and tour noteworthy buildings, interesting places and heritage sites, many of which are not regularly open to the public.

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.

Crash involving e-scooter leads to injuries for two in Waterloo
Quoted from article:
Two people have been seriously hurt following a crash in Waterloo that involved an e-scooter.
Emergency crews were called to the scene at the intersection of Bridgeport Road and King Street around midnight.
According to the Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS), a sedan was heading west on Bridgeport when it hit an e-scooter that was heading north on King.
A 21-year-old man and 19-year-old woman were on the e-scooter and were both taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the Honda was not hurt.
Around 12:30 a.m., police tweeted that Bridgeport was closed from Regina Street to King for a crash. Around an hour later, the stretch was reopened.
Anyone with information of dashcam footage is asked to contact WRPS.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter in my opinion. People are open to their viewpoints and the good thing about this platform is that the creators viewpoints don't bring down the individual lemmy instances.
My fear though with these Lemmy instances is that some of them will become dominant, such as maybe this Lemmy.ca instance for Canadian content. It can end up with the same kind of problems reddit faced where communities become echo chambers of one person's viewpoint and it is hard to move to alternative spots.
Especially when it comes to topics of "hate" and "discrimination", many people lump a lot of stuff under the "hate speech" category whereas many people would view it as normal non-discriminatory speech. It would be nice to see a place that can support viewpoints that lean far-left, left, center, right, and far right but based on the current rules/dialogue here I fear this community will likely only be more supportive of left sided conversation and will deam differing opinions as "hateful" like we see on Reddit.
