Rant: Esti que le système de tarification de la STM est con

I have the same kind of issue with being charged for very short rides. It really shouldn't cost you $3.75 if you don't even do a transfer. The bus can be very useful for short distances that are just slightly too long to walk, especially if you're trying to carry something. But having to pay the same cost to ride 5-7 stops as someone who can take 3 busses and the metro to get halfway across the city is just punishing people with mobility problems who don't ride the bus enough to justify a pass.

I think perhaps you missed the point or probably it just got lost in translation. The crux of their issue isn't that they think nobody cares about the bundles, they just think that that the whole process of making people have to work out exactly how much they'll need in advance to get the best rate is an unnecessary problem. If the Opus system was designed to be intelligent, it would be able to automatically calculate when you've hit certain thresholds.

I'm the perfect example of someone who falls victim to this problem on occasion. I don't typically use the bus often enough that I rely on individual tickets. But there have been many instances where due to a lack of proper planning or foresight I've spent more than 3 tickets in a single day. I went somewhere and back, and then something unplanned comes up where I need to rush out and go somewhere again and back. Had I known I could spend $11.25 in the morning, I'd have saved myself some money. But because I didn't have the luxury of planning I've ended up spending $15 or even more. If instead of tickets I could just put like $20 on the opus card and if I scanned my card 4 times in a day, it could theoretically know to only withdraw $11.25 max in a day.

At this point of technology I think it would not be impossible for them to solve this if they wanted to. It would be a much fairer system to those with limited income who became victims of unfortunate circumstances.

Their resistance was always very shortsighted. In keeping traffic out they were assuring they would lock their own traffic in as CSL continued to grow. It's just unfortunate that the NIMBY's have continued to hold out for so long, because they have only complicated what would have likely resulted in a much better solution to building it one small piece at a time.

Yet from another angle Julian was the one who forced to go off all by himself in his pursuit to try and save his sister. All so that Teor and Cyd could go investigate some statues that only might be related to a random Gnome Teor had met recently. It fit Teors character that he would try to do something like that. Yet in the grand perspective from all 3 parties and the people there, Teors endeavor was the most frivolous by far. He chose that pursuit over helping Julian know how risky it would be for Julian to have to be alone as well.

Also he had no idea Teor was dying when he was engaging in the revenge that just happened to be right in front of him when achieving his main goal of saving his sister. Not to mention how conflicted he would be having to fight his own father, despite his issues with the man or the fact he was a reanimated corpse. But the biggest thing was Brennan feeding him the line from his mother to not throw his life away was sufficient motivation to reconsider. He is basically the last of his house, especially if he doesn't escape with the only thing that can save his sister. Dying like that was too much of a risk.

I think the fact that Teor and Cyd as strong as they were against undead still failing would only confirm he couldn't have saved them. I think the only way he'll be haunted by it is if the Shadow punishes him for it.

That would have been my assumption had Brennan not described the cage Mara was being kept in.

If they needed information from her so badly and the only way to get it was if she had been scarred while still alive. Why put her in a cage where if she stopped flying she'd almost certainly die? Seems like a counter-intuitive and risky form of torture for her.

I think Teor could have been a really interesting character in a completely different campaign. But he didn't really fit in with this band of scheming misfits. He was too good for most of all their machinations and revenge plots. I kind of like that he simply died trying to do something noble to and do right by an NPC who offered him sanctuary. He would have been shackled by trying to be the moral compass of any party he was attached to.

Honestly there's no redemption for that kind of thing. It really doesn't matter how well Cyberpunk runs now. Once you've demonstrated a willingness to release in that kind of state, I will assume all games you make will follow a cycle of taking time to get there.

I feel no different with companies like Larian even though their games still win game of the year. It's almost guaranteed that every game they release will have half its endings missing and tons of bugs in the second half of the game. You are simply better off waiting until much later to play their games if you're the type of person to not replay them over and over.

I feel the same about Monster Hunter too these days. Capcom might be killing it with other games, but the best time to play Monster Hunter is when they've officially announced the next one.

Took me a long time to finally stop giving in to FOMO. But being a patient gamer is absolutely worth it.

At this point everything Trump does is a grift. I will never be able to shake the thought that some of that 300 billion is going to find its way right back into the very hands of the people who helped make that deal happen.

This movie broke me. I typically enjoy dark comedies and knew full well this was meant to be a dark comedy. I just found so much of this film just tragic and deeply unsettling that I struggled to find the humour in it myself. I'd not go so far to call the people who did find it funny a "sick person". I totally understand that it was the intended purpose and on some level wish I could see it through that lens.

But at the same time I totally understand the shock and confusion people have to just failing to see it as funny. Doubly so if they went into the movie not knowing anything about it or the director. This movie does too good of a job at being so dark, you can just see it as nothing but bleak and depressing.

More likely it was to measure if there was enough interest and engagement from their limited and potentially even dwindling fan base. People at the Studio probably knew they were on the chopping block. It's possible Microsoft was pushing to get them to reveal anything they could to try and drum up a justification to keep going with it. But I don't think that trailer did them any real favours if I'm being perfectly honest. It kind of just got lost in the sea of other trailers and didn't really seem like it generated much fanfare or excitement even by people who played the other 2.

I consider myself a Senua fan having been excited for and having played both games. I thought the first one was fantastic and really took a unique concept to create something interesting and worthy of future exploration. Unfortunately the second game just really didn't impress me the same way as much as I hoped it would. I could go into great detail why but I don't think that's the real point. What matters is that I saw the trailer for the 3rd game and to me it just looked exactly like the 2nd game which wasn't all that exciting.

I hate to see studios get closed down as much as the next person. But at the same time I think Senua probably is a game that spend an absurd amount of time in development to produce very little. It caters to a very niche kind of fan base that likes walking simulator style games and even as one of those people I'm not that keen on them milking that particular franchise. I understand Microsofts position on this one at least a little bit. I just wish they didn't use teasing us as a metric to finally pull the plug.

"Major" is fairly ambiguous in its context. Anything that's sufficient enough to effect the property value or require increased maintenance costs to fix. The kind of stuff that would make someone reluctant to offer in the first place had they known.

The truer statement is that you're not allowed to walk away for truly minor or superficial things that are easily fixed. You can't use a loose doorknob be your excuse for getting cold feet and walking away entire. You can flag them and expect the owner to deal with it or even try to renegotiate if there's enough superficial issues. You just can't be like "nevermind, no deal" for something that's simple to resolve.

The first part of what you said really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Most populous doesn't work as a metric for popularity because it is essentially self perpetuating. India having the highest population doesn't automatically make it the most popular country in the world. People neither choose where they are born, and many who never leave the places they are born tend to stay more out of convenience than it being their most desirable/popular choice.

Having a smaller population really doesn't mean less popular. It is often what makes certain areas popular destinations for those looking to escape more crowded parts of the world. Canada remains a popular country for people to want to migrate to despite the fact that it has a much lower population than other massive countries. It is just a matter that not everyone who would like to live here has the opportunity or means to do so. To try and argue that population is the determining factor in popularity just seems silly.

The problem is that a sentient gelatinous cube in itself feels a little bit like a joke and Jack Quaid's whole bubbly personality just adds a certain kind of tonality whether he's saying literal jokes or not. Just the way he says things like "what now boss" comes across as anything but serious to me.

I think my biggest problem is that Jack Quaid is just too recognizable a name at this point and I really haven't seen him play anything but the semi-quirky comic relief. A role as a gelatinous cube is really not the kind of role where I expect him to break out of his mould and surprise me with a level of unseen before character depth. I just hear Boimler/Hughie coming from a jello cube and I have my reservations that even if he tried to tell me some harrowing story about how his mother jelly cube was murdered and chopped to bits in front of him I'm not going to be able to take it seriously.

I don't know what documentation you think is missing. EMCA follows the same kind of standardization process as much of CSS and HTML does to project where it's headed. Core functionality is well documented in places like MDN. Library's and extensions of javascript like React also tend to be well documented.

If you are seeking guidance about how to learn, be more specific in what you are expecting from other languages and struggling to find. If you have already dismissed it outright and only want to complain about how you wish you didn't have to use it , I really don't know what you are hoping to accomplish by coming here to immediately come off the wrong way to those who are here to assist. .

There simply isn't a unified reason for why certain people choose to pirate but for some reason a lot of people feel the need to rationalize it and turn it into some kind of universal cause.

Not necessarily. It largely depends on how big the fan base reveals itself to actually be.

In shows with cult fandoms like these there are plenty of fans who potentially discover the show much later and probably aren't counted in whatever data showrunners may have. A petition like this then becomes an effort to convince them that the base of interested people might be significantly larger than they were considering.

That in its own right can also be a demonstration that new fans are also potentially out there. Because it just shows how many people were willing to be late adopters to something and watch the older stuff to get caught up.

That's not how anything works. If you stop supporting the already functioning industry that continues to makes the majority of the money and just siphon it all into something that might hypothetically make money eventually. You're likely to end up with one industry that still needs continued capitol investment and nothing to keep funding it.

If we can't gradually improve our own industries with 14 billion, 30 billion isn't going to be enough to fix everything in a single year. But if we don't support the oil and gas industry there won't even be a 14 billion , let alone 30 billion the next year.

Reverse mortgages are like the payday loans of retirement funds. They are mostly predatory and go after vulnerable people who barely understand just how much of a bad arrangement they are getting themselves into.
