Also building differently. Mixed use buildings and wall to wall buildings are more effecient to heat because they have less surface area exposed to the outdoors and often house multiple families per building. This type of building can be very difficult to build now but was the norm 100 years ago.

My home town used to put lights all over their waterfront, with cool moving light shows and stuff, it was something i really enjoyed as a kid and got us out and walking by the water in winter. I haven't seen them do it to the same scale as when i was a kid for many years. It used to be dozens of displays, now there are just a few trees that get lights. I wonder if people not wanting to leave their cars influenced it. Soon the santa parade will be stationary and we can all just drive past it at this rate.

I think both denfitionally and opportunistic child molesters should be treated the same, probably with some kind of sentencing and therapy/rehabilitation. Regardless if it is fetish or not, just the fact they'd touch a kid makes their actions wrong. I also fear if we seperate them too much, normal pedophiles might be able to avoid sentencing/treatment by arguing they were oppourtunistic and vice versa, depending which group is set to face harsher punishments.

Plus, the opportunistic ones may still have some kind of rape/molestation fantasies, which could be treated through similar processes as treating pedophiles.

I just don't see the value in making hard lines between the two groups when the actions they do are the same and carry the same harm, just the motives are different.

Is there really a watchdog though? Ontario just put alcohol in gas stations and several of my friends have been buying after the legal hours.

I could see that being enough to live off if you already paid off a mortgage or have low rent from being there a long time, or have a partner working as well.

So you can buy any time of day at the gas station but not a train station where it highly unlikely you are the one driving the train?

Meanwhile here in north America, you can usually buy alcohol any time at gas stations....

You the real MVP

Molesting a kid is molesting a kid, your motives don't really change what happened. It is just as wrong regardless if it was out of convenience or premeditated. If you're willing to molest a child, you are a pedophile.

I live in the sudbury area, which is very mixed between french and english, although nearly anyone who can speak French is also fluent enough in english. I get mail and flyers with both languages. I hear conversations that switch between the two languages mid sentence. The very fabric of this comminity exists with these languages intermixing and I find it sad that Quebec wants to kill that kind of diversity. I completely respect that Quebec wants to protect its French identify, but this seems a little extreme with a 50% or higher multilanguage barrier. Even the very french towns nearby won't judge you for being english and will still welcome you to their town/home/business, we should be encouraging and celebrating our diversity, it is what built the nation we live in.

I think they made "multi use pathways" follow the same new rules so even this won't save them

I wonder how much extra money is wasted on the beauracracy of making healthcare harder to access. We should really just have a nationalized system.

I think them using cars as portable heat sources highlights the car centric part of our culture. We would rather drive what is basically a private living room and view the attraction in that thing.

Its super useful, like how many dusters can I make out of this stack of 680 textiles? Or how many farming tiles minimum should i have per colonist or animal, how much pemmican for a caravan, i can get rough idea in my head but sometimes for bills or if you're short on labor being exact is nice.

Real time strategy and stuff. If i get a 15% bonus to a resource, sometimes i wanna know how much per turn that bonus is worth. Or in games like rimworld I'll do things like meals X #ofcolonists X number of days storage X 2meals per day. You could also do the same in RPGs while trying to decide what gear/perks gives you the best stats.

Ah, thats actually a realistic number for me as i use my calculator for work, finances, and some games too.

This makes me irrationally angry. I don't need my phone babysitting my ears and the notification doesn't happen nearly frequently enough to matter anyway. It can be a distraction, especially while driving, i always think i need to pull over to answer a call but nope, just a half assed hearing protection measure.

Does anyone know of any apps or ways to disable the feature on android?

The lanes weren't the best but they are way better than nothing. Everything must be car accessible here, no exceptions. Cars must always get prioirty. It really is so vastly different you really have to experience it to understand. Standing next to one stroad makes you really ask "how the hell is this the best way to build the majority of places in this country?"

Most of our transit is hourly bus service that is late from the poor roadway network. Most of our stops don't even have shelters. Trams don't have prioirty at lights. It's all so backwards.

So turn on your limiter if you want to spend less time

Yea but Canada refuses to build a functional country. Hell we can't even keep bike lanes installed without drivers feeling attacked.
