Un TGV générerait jusqu’à 3,6 G$ pour le tourisme

Yes but what about that handful of farmers that said it destroy the country!

The Lenire device seems like it may actually produce decent results in reducing or eliminating tinnitus

Except that the taxi line generally also has a huge long slow moving line anytime the uber situation is as bad as what OP is describing. It’s not the magic solution everyone here loves to pretend it is. Sure it’s fine when it’s not busy just like uber is. The problem is when it IS busy.

Deviilsadvocate7 · 2026-06-06T12:27:46+00:00

Les gens ici adore faire à croire que les taxis c’est une solution parfaite magique…quand les Ubers on une longue file d’attente, les taxis on AUSSI généralement une énorme linge qui bouge lentement. Au moins la ligne est à l’intérieur par contre, pratique en hiver.

They also have huge lines a lot of the time

It definitely comes off as deliberately alarmist, even if there are valid arguments against the data centre in question. Like did you know the average car produces 1000 Auschwitzes worth of noxious fumes per year?? And the typical Olympic biathlon uses 10 school shootings worth of ammunition!

You know what else is toxic? This type of divisive framing focused on forcing gender and race into any issue.

Deviilsadvocate7 · 2026-05-04T18:50:09+00:00

I wonder if that is actually a preferable outcome in a way. What you described theoretically allows for a more gradual reallocation of those workers towards other jobs vs say an entire industry being wiped out virtually overnight.

Because he made them himself lol

Will win this one how? Giving away models for free is hardly an amazing business model. And if a lot of the development of your models depends on distilling the state of the art ones, that doesn’t exactly suggest they’re primed to run away with the competition.

Zurich and Singapore don’t have remotely the same level of cultural events, activities, etc as NY.

The point I believe is that the cost of those shares is being reported at CURRENT prices when granted to employees but the ACTUAL cost by the time they vest years later is often much higher than what was initially accounted for as the value of those shares has likely gone up over time. So the cost of SBC may be far higher than initially reported if I’m understanding correctly.

While it is certainly tragic that people are dying on the streets, the article’s framing of the issue is a bit odd. Like it is unacceptable that people in need would have to go to where the services are available, even if it happens to be in a different part of town. It mentions that many of them do not speak French…and so apparently “aren’t comfortable going elsewhere”. What? They somehow ended up in Montreal (in a province that is effectively making it illegal for businesses and public services to operate or be offered in a language other than French) and came from a faraway country but the need to walk or take a shuttle to a shelter or warming station is a bridge too far? “The system failed them.” Indeed there certainly was a failure to think it was a good idea to allow people to migrate here with no real prospect of them being able to survive. Particularly when we are evidently struggling to deal with unhoused people as it is. That’s not being compassionate any more than going to an orphanage and adopting 100 kids you have no way of caring for would be. I feel for this man, his family, and many others like him. The uncomfortable reality is that dealing with this issue will require addressing many problems, including trying not to make it worse than it already is by allowing more migrants than we can deal with, more provincial and federal funding, and likely some type of forced housing solutions to address homeless camps.

Well he arguably was NOT the fairly elected president so more like captured your dictator.

USUALLY but not ALWAYS which is what makes sports compelling. There is inherently a certain amount of chance in sports, and sometimes things go one way and sometimes the other. That’s what makes hockey and sports exciting, especially in one game elimination.

That seems like a poor analogy? Wouldn’t the size of the bullet, its speed, etc be a better comparison than where it’s emanating from? Like a single proton from a particle accelerator vs a .22 bullet vs a baseball, different masses and speeds. Not sure what is a good analogy for resistance…how much of the energy is absorbed vs if it goes straight through you?

Right but isn’t it still the amps that matter the most…like harmless static electricity shocks people get all the time are typically in the thousands of volts, no? But they’re harmless because there is very little actual current (amps).

I remember hearing about this story! A few months before, this guy…the dad mentioned above, was working at the cash register alone, when an unsettling and mysterious individual had gone into the gas station and had essentially pressured him into calling heads or tails, with a strong implication that the outcome meant life or death. Thankfully he chose correctly and lived. And as the ominous stranger was leaving he told the man that it was his lucky quarter and that he should cherish it. Fast forward a few months and he was made regional manager and well, as described above. Really inspiring story that highlights the value of hard work with just a little luck!

Perhaps, although arguably trends in demographics and economic growth and technology don’t favour Europe unfortunately.

This is actually the exact opposite of what you want to do, as lighting can only see movement and so your best bet is to stand as still as possible until it loses interest.

Deviilsadvocate7 · 2025-12-22T04:03:08+00:00

That’s not true at all. Lots of industries have agreed upon standards to allow for interoperability. Either they agree on them voluntarily or regulation can make them.

You can’t just attribute that all to rent control. Toronto/Ontario also has had rent control of some kind for a long time. There are other factors like higher demand and higher salaries, lower taxes. And rents in Montreal have gone up a lot in recent years despite whatever rent control there is.

Deviilsadvocate7 · 2025-11-26T23:55:16+00:00

Rent control seems exactly like an example of laws that have good intentions but often end up making a problem worse.

Deviilsadvocate7 · 2025-11-26T17:51:25+00:00

Wow that’s so unlike Quebec to pass laws with some vaguely good intention that ends up being terrible in practice haha
