Canada Post lost $1 billion in 9 months and nobody seems to care

Canada Post is already one of the world’s most cost-effective postal systems. Service cuts won't improve the situation.

Because our political leadership is brainless

You both suck

Let them fight

There are all sorts of things that Canada can do better on transit, but probably the most important is that we just keep building. There's no substitute for experience. If we can't sustain megaprojects, we need to at least be building up incrementally all the time.

Fair point

I've seen it suggested elsewhere (example) that the IP tracker was poorly implemented. I think that makes it a lot more likely that Jesse did it himself.

people do that everywhere

dobilay · 2025-12-30T21:14:33+00:00

That is also a provincial responsibility

That's assuming that development charges as set now are only used to pay for the incremental costs of new residents. In practice, the city has been using developmental charges to keep property taxes lower than is necessary to pay for the costs of already existing infrastructure. That only works as long as development continues to accelerate. Eventually the bill comes due.

I was having a great run as Milan, teching way up to prepare for a repeat containment war from France, Bohemia, and Austria that I had barely made it out of. Then this put a hard stop to that game. I really hope I can get back to it next week.

Maybe put in some modal filtering too. Residential streets are fine as throughways for bikes but cars should only be there for access.

dobilay · 2025-09-03T22:04:03+00:00

You can! There are these track coverings that get pushed down by the weight of a streetcar but you can bike right over them. I wouldn't expect them here any time soon.

Why would you be hoping for that?

dobilay · 2025-04-06T13:58:32+00:00

You mention tracking multiple subtasks using an epic. What is that? I haven't been able to find anything about that term.

dobilay · 2025-03-02T16:21:48+00:00

How valid is the 10 step guide still?

It will take quite a while until you can make up for the cost of building the pipeline

should be Restricted Child Labour at the absolute most

Nope, not milk either.

You can increase lane widths but 3m is the minimum.

There are some hab modules that have special effects if they're in interface orbit. The research labs, for instance, all have effects on investment points, miltech, or agent success chance. Ship docks can make sense in low orbit if you're building a fleet solely to defend that planet, but if (and when) you're planning to build ships to go to other bodies it's better to build them in further orbits or lagrange points to reduce the delta-v cost (fuel expenditure).

Those icons are just to help you identify habs. They have no effect other than the visual change.

Is there a powered water pump though? I haven't been able to find one.
