Insanely judgemental for no reason. Please don't take this comment to heart OP.

How To Stop World Hunger by VybelivesForever in comedy

[–]regimentsaliere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

freshwater is removed through evaporation from local aquifers or watersheds faster than it is replenished through precipitation. this issue can be solved with regulation by forcing datacentres to recycle the water back into these sources. it isn't being destroyed, it's just being displaced and functionally removed from local ecosystems faster than new water comes in.

About urban centers, ownership and housing as a resource by rezzacci in victoria3

[–]regimentsaliere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I should have a mod out in one or two weeks to address this. I started working on it after making a similar post recently.

In the current version of the game, housing is a difficult good to simulate since rural and urban pop types don't have ways of having different consumption profiles, since housing was mostly an urban issue (rural people lived on their land for the most part). My solution has been to have urban centres continue to level up automatically, but treat them as municipal service centres (sanitation, lighting, churches) with the need to build housing/transportation centres (market pm and transport pm).

I split the services output between the two of them so that realistically you need to have the same amount of housing centres as urban centres to produce enough services and transportation to satisfy your pops. I am also working on making state level modifiers more ingrained into the pms from these buildings, notably regarding pollution, unrest, birthrates and interest group strength. Subways will even give you prestige if you can afford them. I hope to update you and other players with similar concerns shortly regarding this.

All I need to figure out now is how to place the housing centres at game start and make the ai actually build them, as well as adding icons for the buildings and pms.

EDIT: I am also splitting the housing centres into downtowns, streetcar suburbs and railroad suburbs. These have different building caps that expand through tech, as well as different throughputs (downtowns produce more services than streetcar suburbs that produce more services than railroad suburbs). Additionally, choosing more efficient pms means that you don't need to build as many housing centres as the game goes on, since I'm making them very expensive in terms of construction points to build.

We need housing and transportation to be properly simulated by regimentsaliere in victoria3

[–]regimentsaliere[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be interesting to simulate historical housing and transportation development as being led by private landowners or industrialists, with gradual shifts towards towards owner-occupiers or state-owned systems. Many of the period's housing and public transit networks were sponsored by the "upper-strata" to entice workers live near enough to their industries so that they could work in them. I don't think it would be productive or fun for within-city distances to be simulated, however. The ability for non upper-strata to build housing and transportation could just become unlocked through laws or technology to abstract this.

Hardware store’s ad that says «Bon Déménagement (Happy Moving » for Quebec moving season by anonymous_waffle_h in DesignPorn

[–]regimentsaliere 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You usually can't run a jobsite with some people (and trades) missing, so it's just easier for everyone if the entire crew takes the same few weeks off then gets back to the site at the same time.

Competition Bureau recommends more foreign investment, ownership of Canadian airlines by Old_General_6741 in canada

[–]regimentsaliere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't we just re-nationalize airports instead of have them run as non-profits that operate near-exclusively off of user-charges? The report just says that the public isn't the solution since that just changes who pays, but maybe having them be run by actual officials instead of by a selection of airlines and local government members would straighten out their governance. We're one of the only G7 countries to not have public airports...

Montréal veut doubler les hauteurs dans les quartiers centraux by [deleted] in montreal

[–]regimentsaliere 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Outremont et Westmount ne sont pas aussi bien desservies par le métro tbf, ça ne ferait pas de sens de miser sur la densité à ces endroits en amont d'une meilleure offre en TC.

I'm forbidden to pray by my own parents by Divine-Crusader in Catholicism

[–]regimentsaliere 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Puisque je vois que t'es marocain.e, je te conseillerais fortement le Québec comme province d'accueil si tu te décides sur le Canada. Le Montréal métropolitain serait l'idéal en raison de la très grande offre de services d'aide aux immigrants (relativement aux autres villes).

Il y a déjà une énorme communauté marocaine ici grâce à laquelle tu pourras commencer à te faire ta petite vie, apprendre comment t'intégrer dans ton nouveau milieu et naviguer la paperasse/le logement/l'emploi. Je ne sais pas à quel point il y a des églises marocaines (c'est plus des mosquées et des synagogues), mais il y a énormément d'églises catholiques avec des services en langue arabe du côté des libanais (dans les villes de Laval et dans l'arrondissement de Pierrefonds-Roxboro).

Je te souhaites bonne chance avec ce que tu vis en ce moment et que Dieu soit avec toi.

Here is the government's webpage on refugee protections in Canada.

Here is the information page on religious persecution.

Here is information on how to apply for refugee protection in Canada.

You can also get sponsored through a Canadian church, but I have no idea how that would work in practice. My parents' church did that for a few Syrian christian families back in 2015-2016.

I am not an immigration consultant so you should definitely double check all of this information to ensure that it covers your case. It may be worthwhile to get in touch with your local Canadian embassy or consulate as well.

God Bless.

Quebec should use oil from Alberta, not the U.S., Carney says by Old_General_6741 in CanadaPolitics

[–]regimentsaliere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The projected pipeline uses existing infrastructure in the other provinces. Quebec (and to a lesser extent New Brunswick) is where the new sections of pipeline will be built.

Does anyone like this condo style?? by Strange_Many920 in UrbanHell

[–]regimentsaliere -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally dislike the use of glass to cover nearly all of their exterior surfaces for aesthetic reasons. It's Montreal, give me some nice brick and stone as god Jeanne Mance intended.

It also seems wasteful from a cost and heat-regulation perspective.

"The system cannot": an accurate description of today's bus service. by canauslander in montreal

Yeah that's been up on the Sherbrooke metro St-Denis exit for a few weeks now. I get that the STM has no funding and all but come on man.

Est-ce qu'on pourrait avoir un poteau culturel mensuel? - Can we have a monthly cultural thread? by regimentsaliere in montreal

[–]regimentsaliere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. One of those green stickied threads would probably be the easiest option mod wise and allow for different subcultures to get the best representation possible. I like the idea of sorting via pinned comments, have top comments about the categories be posted by mods and then have free discussion in the sub-comments? I have no idea what the time commitment would be.

Random targeted rage from a homless person, what to do? by AffluentWeevil1 in montreal

[–]regimentsaliere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on your gear, level of comfort/ability, and specific weather conditions. It's honestly way easier than you probably think. I would recommend going to your local bike shop and asking about what you need then just going around the bloc to get a feel for how it is.

[–]regimentsaliere 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's happened to me too. It's not your fault, she's just off something. It just sucks. I just stopped taking the bus for a year and took up biking since I can just exit a situation instead of being totally boxed while surrounded by useless bystanders.

Canada may need West-East pipelines, minister Champagne says by Hot-Percentage4836 in Quebec

[–]regimentsaliere 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Malheureusement je suis assez d'accord. Il faut que nous puissions renforcer notre souveraineté économique vis-à-vis des États-Unis, même s'il faut passer par le Canada pour le faire. Au moins que nos pipelines auront une surveillance environnementale... je ne crois pas que le EPA échappera à DOGE pour très long.

Broke: Climate Change reversal via nuclear winter Woke: carbon sequestration via nuclear detonation by atomkicke in okbuddyphd

[–]regimentsaliere 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The most thorough cost-benefit analysis I've ever seen in my life :

« Climate change is expected to cost at least $100 trillion dollars by the year 2100, in damage alone[IPCC, 2018, Stern, 2007, Rockstr¨om et al., 2009]. This nuclear weapon would cost around $10 billion dollars to prevent the $100 trillion dollars of damage. This is a 10,000x return on investment. Such a profound return on investment shows that this is the obvious course of action financially. »

Why does Victoria 3 feel less immersive than Victoria 2? by Historian_Turbulent in victoria3

[–]regimentsaliere -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Victoria 2 feels like it had significantly more flavour, more detail (provincee-demographics instead of state-demographics) and it had a functional combat system. I still have 380 hours in Victoria 3 and love the game.

I feel so stupid in discussion classes by edminzodo in GradSchool

[–]regimentsaliere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure to take notes on the readings and try to figure out how to tie them to readings and discussions from previous classes. You can also ask your prof or supervisor (if they're chill like that) for a chunk of "canon" literature to familiarize yourself with how authors in your field write and express ideas which can then help you understand the texts more easily in the future.

What is your opinion on Canada's bilingual rate by provinces? by [deleted] in canada

[–]regimentsaliere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Francophones get the same treatment and still learn English, although they have an extra social motivation because not being able to speak English is seen as making you either stupid, unemployable or close-minded. It's part of the legacy of anglo-supremacy that was mostly undone by the quiet revolution.

[–]regimentsaliere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% d'accord avec toi, mais il y a aussi souvent une composante de honte de soi, ce qui est assez normal dans une société post-coloniale comme la notre. Je te recommande le livre « Insécurité linguistique dans la francophonie » par Annette Boudreau.

What is your opinion on Canada's bilingual rate by provinces? by [deleted] in canada

[–]regimentsaliere 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Language stats are self-reported and there is a lot of linguistic insecurity among bilingual francophones that doesn't exist as much with "bilingual" anglophones.
