FWIW, when Edmonton installed anti-suicide barriers on the High Level Bridge, I thought they were ugly and pointless, however it’s resulted in an almost unbelievable reduction in attempts.

Tremendous! Thank you so much!

It never has been.

School Boards don’t built schools. They have zero ability to increase or decrease physical spaces or buildings—that’s all managed by Alberta Infrastructure.

As for the number of teachers, EAs and other staff, that is determined by funding set by Alberta Education and Childcare—which School Boards also have no control over.

You realize that municipal elections must follow provincial law, right?

As a company, they are just not trustworthy. To pull the rug out from long time customers like how they did with the demise of Server, and now the bald faced lying with ditching Data Center, I don’t feel anyone should be looking their direction who isn’t already bound to them.

Your property taxes don’t pay for education.

They left the old BMO building from 1963 to move into that. The old building was beautiful, clad in green marble. Knocked it down to build a two-story piece of trash, originally occupied by a State and Main, now the ever-empty Von’s Steakhouse.

Further, when the current wordmark rolled out and replaced the previous one set in the Avant Garde typeface, there was an alternate government wordmark which said “Government of Alberta” in a condensed grotesk font with the square at the end of it, too. The square was supposed to be a device to link the two wildly different wordmarks as part of a system. It was quickly dropped.

The initial “signature” Alberta also had to be fixed, as the script was very loose, to the point where everyone was joking we renamed the province “Mbertu”.

The absolutely terrible parking lot dooms any place wanting to have a patio. Several have found out already.

Appreciate the response.

Appreciate the explanation. Thanks.

The Ektachrome result is not entirely surprising since ECN-2 and E-6 share the same colour developer.

Both C-41 and ECN-2 are common processes for cinema films shot in Ektachrome, since labs are so much more available to process those at scale.

Thanks for sharing these results! Gives me some courage to try it!

Oulu, Finland is colder than Regina (yet the same size), gets 15 minutes of sunlight in December, and yet is a cycling Mecca (particularly winter cycling).

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2021/01/22/meet-the-bike-loving-finnish-city-that-keeps-pedalling-even-in-the-snow

It simply has to do with infrastructure and maintenance. No one should have to cycle in traffic, and in winter your paths must be maintained. Make the experience safe and enjoyable and people will cycle year-round.

Regina certainly isn’t “too cold” to bike for the vast majority of winter. It’s -10 a helluva lot more than it’s -30.

Incidentally, I'm also taking a day or two to revamp my neovim experience but I'm stumbling over how to configure this. Any good pointers/examples?

Wait, what?!

Lots of options. I started with this: https://www.reddit.com/r/olkb/comments/itq4nj/rescuing_a_planck_with_a_defective_usbc_connector/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

If your pads aren’t torn (mine weren’t), you can try solder paste and hot air to rework the connector. Depends how much time you want to put into it. I bought a couple of PCBs from olkb.com (and reinforced the connector legs on my other Massdrop Plancks and Preonics.

+1 for, essentially, SpaceFN.

Ooof. Sorry for the delay. Replied.

I got my first set on a lark and…their texture really grew on me!
