I’m not sure why anybody would go out of their way to use a thorn in every instance instead of th, except to be obtuse.

Matrix is a protocol with multiple options for front-end clients. If you don’t like Element, for example, you can try Cinny. They both use Matrix but are different apps.

Playing in VR made me realize how poorly pancake mode gives you a sense of scale. Everything is subnautica is absolutely massive. Peepers’ eyes are the size of dinner plates

a lack of definitions of terms. Is a town with 150 people “urban” because you have a street address and most people don’t work in another town/city, is it “suburban” because you need to go to a different town to buy groceries, or is it “rural” because that’s how most people who live there self-identify?

The question asked how you would describe your community, but I would call my entire city my community which has a mix of all three options. My house is single-family detached but sits in an urban area, but there’s a suburb right across the street from me.

Emphasis on nice. I would much rather receive a single pair of nice merino wool socks or something with a neat design than a 10 pack of Walmart white crew socks.

House Biscuit. We do not preorder.

Much more recently than you might think also. The last residential school to close operated from 1985 to 1997.

I’m experiencing post-coffee gut contraction as we speak!

Journiv has got me to try journaling seriously for the first time. I’m a bit envious of those able to do so naturally, I’ve been forgetting to make daily entries more often than not

One of our recent council meetings had a developer wanting to rezone a lot to medium density but needed a variance to allow for less parking given the size of the parcel.

Council unanimously approved the rezoning citing the need for more medium density projects, but were completely divided on the vote for the parking variance. They could not fathom that a developer would know best how many parking spaces would be needed to still be functional and profitable. All they wanted was to reduce the requirement from 1.5 spaces per unit down to 1.25 spaces per unit. A decrease of like 9 spaces total.

Luckily the variance was eventually approved but not before a lot of debate and grandstanding about what people are supposed to do with their cars.

I found it quite the opposite of annoying. This episode had some beautiful cinematography showing the south america trek to the point I was questioning if this entire thing was funded by tourism boards. Maybe not the most exciting to watch but I’ve mostly come to expect as much.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

CMHC already has programs available to fully fund non-market housing initiatives as long as you can meet certain requirements. One of the biggest issues is that nearly everybody sees housing as an investment and not simply a shelter so if there’s no money in it then they aren’t interested.

Given that they freed all the zoo animals, I think it’s safe to assume that all farm animals have also been released. They would need to randomly come across a chicken’s nest first which I don’t think is sustainable.

Biking through unplowed snow sucks, but it’s hardly impossible. The worst part about it is having to deal with traffic at the same time

You’ve received a tonne of responses and I’m not even sure if this has been posted by someone else already, but there’s a YouTube video called “How to Radicalize a Normie” which goes over at length exactly how the alt right gets its hooks into young people and why it’s so hard for them to break out.

My workplace has moved offices which has changed my commute from a 10 minute bike ride to a 15 minute drive. My daily routine is in absolute shambles.

You can’t post all these in a single album?
