A lot of it is actually, I think, a consequence of heating during winter. A lot of the denser parts of Montréal have been built at a time where Hydro-electricity wasn't developed. Houses were heated by coal and oil mainly, which was delivered in small streets build behind the building as the stuff was nasty. Getting greather density meant easier delivery. This is only speculation.
Same people,under order of British gov, also went down south and burned the white house in 1812. True story.
Not the point at all.
Montréal is unique. It's the only American city with both french and english cultures living hand in hand. It's also great for novel cuisine, micro. It has 4 full seasons do you can practice almost any sports and neat mountain ranges with amazing wildlife just an hour away to the north.
Yeah but the report doesn't talk about the degradation in quality of life you'll have to endure if you survive. It may take you months/years to fully recover.
I bet one of the key factors for this thing to be on the road safely was the development of some kind of unbreakable glass for the huge front window, so they "had to" make this new type of resistant glass. Some "yes man" at the upper management level must've decided to skip constrained material testing (Glass dissipates energy much differently when it is in a frame rather than just loose... pay close attention at the ball drop demo and you'll see the glass jump a few inches)

Wonder if DPI/IDS could be setup on this or if it is too slow, I've been looking for a cheap DIY IDS.
I'm surprised to see finance pop-up so high in the list... What's going on?
This is the old "paradox of choice" reflecting itself from consumerism now on to dating... I don't see any women complaining, yet, as it's been only around 7 years of this dynamic and young women seem to be getting much higher quality partners through this low upfront cost, mainly appearance based process.
However, I expect a lot of the consequences to society will reveal themselves when the female user base grows older, as it'll cause missed opportunity to raise children, childs without father and fathers uninterested in sticking around as they easily find younger partners as age generally favours men in attraction dynamics.
Also, a certain mass of single young men will end up broken in the exercice. They'll either urged to compete in dishonest ways or give up entirely.
Known to anyone using Google inbox...
Yes please, I'd be interested!
This has been like this for at least 2 years over there now. This is facebook/whatsapp best's and only strategy to stop living off consumer data and start living off an actual service industry. Very poor management decision from my perspective, perhaps they had trouble gathering political support.
I bet this is not to combat climate change rather than to combat hot spots in the city...
We're in the very particular business of Aircraft Simulation, specifically integrating real parts in a custom made simulation environment for pilots to train in. The products get certified based on functionality/realism level (Level D which requires motion/feel/view), thus we have very few low-level documentation requirements as compared to typical Aircraft design. We do test the platforms internally pretty correctly as they get audited by FAA/EASA autorities before certification. In the end, however, we end-up maintaining, updating and re-certifying the many-years-old platforms with the authorities for pretty much the full flying life of the fleet of planes we simulate, and for each of the updates delivered, often struggling to figure out the architecture of our old platforms (or our competitors even, as we provide updates for theses too).
Thanks for your input!
