That’s a very simple view. Most of western Europe and Asia have higher fire safety than Canada and have plenty of single-staircase buildings. These kinds of decisions are not made based off a single YouTube video. It may be a source of public awareness about other approaches, but that’s only the springboard to get feasibilty studies and expert consultations underway. There are external fire escapes, mandated sprinkler systems and other ways to improve fire safety which alone will likely prove far more effective than double staircases.

There are many valid downsides to our outdated fire standards in Canada—many that introduce their own health impacts in other ways. And I wouldn’t quite consider a fire chief to be the ultimate expert here. Sure their input is important to have, but I also want to hear from architects, standards bodies and academics that study building design and safety.

Ah, the good 'ol Heard Turd

It depends on what you do with it.

ok.

To buy drugs? /s (kinda)

I mistyped my PIN (yes PIN, you can have only a 4 or 6 digit number, not a real password) into my bank app too many times and had to reset it. I was prompted the secret question “what is the name of your childhood best friend?” This alone would have given me (or anyone) access to my bank account. I forgot what the answer was and had my account locked after a few attempts.

How was I to prove my identity? Call the 1-800 number and the automated system asked for my account number or any credit/debit card number, the numbers in my postal code, my phone number, and my birthday. THAT’S IT. Account unlocked and was able to set a new password PIN. So many people know or can easily find out this information.

I use very strong digital security everywhere that allows it, but of the hundreds of accounts I have, my bank is the least secure and does not allow any stronger security even if you want it!

I appreciate the genuine response. It’s good for my cynical ass.

The way to beat this system is to build alternatives and wean people off of their dependence on it, and deprive it of victims.

And how do you propose we do this considering the only way the system can have alternatives is if the system allows for alternatives which (spoiler) >!it won’t!<.

Whey protein is generally the best protein you can get (in terms of amino acid profile).

There are some good vegan powders but also some real shite ones that seem to have high protein but of low quality. One with a 70% pea protein and 30% brown rice protein blend is about the closest you can get to a whey powder. I’d be skeptical of one’s that don’t provide an amino acid profile table beside the nutrition facts. Good chance they’re inflating the total protein with poor quality sources.

Also, like someone else said, you can consider a whey protein isolate. If you aren’t avoiding dairy for ethical/diet reasons and just due to lactose intolerance, good chance you can have an isolate without blowing up your bowels.

Nobody has an ass like a cyclist

Let me introduce to you the wonders of (ice) hockey players. Specifically defencemen.

Oh lawd you should’ve seen my dumpy back when.

Ok, ignoring the fact that handguns are illegal in Canada…how is a handgun a great addition to hunting? Not being sarcastic, genuinely curious.

“Donut.”

Oh I will. (─ ‿ ─)

What part are you having trouble with?

Mediterranean diet has been shown to be a particularly healthy diet by many well designed randomized control trials, not just observational studies.

The literal way to read what you wrote is to never ask Flatpak, in order:

1. how it can download more
2. the total file size

The only reason no one thinks this is what you mean is because of how many people also mess this up.

I just got back from living in Japan recently, and the boiling-frog syndrome of Canadian rail is palpable. I once got to the train station ~90 seconds before the last train to my home city was to depart, and was able to run in and buy the fare all in time to be able to run to the platform just as the train was pulling in.

If you bought a ticket with a non-reserved seat, you can take any train (or combo of trains if transferring) at any time you want between your 2 selected stations. Only if you choose to get a reserved seat and miss that departure is that portion of the ticket price lost (you can always just take a non-reserved seat on the next departure or likely get some leniency if you ask for a new reserved seat on a subsequent departure). Plus, there are always large discounts available for commuter passes.

I don’t expect that level of rail in Canada, even in the Quebec City-Windor corridor, but holy hell we’re so far behind.

True, but even if Steam were to offer a x% lower cut on sales for Linux users if the developer makes a Linux-native build, it’d still not entice many to build and maintain a native port if they are only saving x% off a tiny y% of users. Other poster’s point being that incentives like this would actually become enticing to companies when Linux market share (Proton users) increases.

Doubtful Steam is gonna offer a share cut on all sales when it runs on Proton for the 2% of userbase using Linux, and from that only a minority would care whether or not it’s native anyway.

Oh, we weren’t talking abou…fuck I gotta get off the internet for a while.
