I think the major issue is that most people see bike lanes as removing their choice to drive, rather than adding alternatives to make driving easier. These people pushing for change need to look at the MAYA ~~principal~~ principle, meaning they use the Most Advanced, Yet Acceptable vocabulary to ease in the transition.

Anyone who wants to platform for biking and making better urbanism needs to instead focus their campaign on being fiscally responsible and tackling traffic concerns. If pressed, they can say that there are lots of data showing that small, cheap changes to the road infrastructure can make a large impact in both traffics and taxes.

The one major thing lacking on Linux is a good TTS system. Try listening to espeak for mote than 5 minutes and you'll see what I mean.

If WhisperSpeech finally ends up being what brings Linux TTS and accessibility into the 21st century, then I'll be ecstatic. Great work, Collabora team!

I'd recommend finding some FOSS projects to contribute to so that you can stay sharp and also add stuff to your resume. Plenty out there that needs worked on, and not all of it can be done by people working full time at another job.

One of my friends and I end up troubleshooting for an hour before we can actually start playing games. Every single time. Linux just doesn't want us to play games together, I guess.

WA is basically South BC anyway. Makes sense why our hockey team would do better than the rest of our sports.

That's a good one, but I believe OP wants it to be personalized to their area

I mean, you could probably put a short version of your title like "How Polluted Are Our Waterways", but you should have a tighter title that's not a question like "Our Polluted Waterways and the Threat They Pose".

Ah, that's because you're reading from the King James Version. While there are many other translations, the one I read says "The man who sees and acknowledges the attractiveness of others is a kind-hearted soul, for he is aware that few will do the same for him. But he takes solace in the knowledge that those who do will do so with a fiery passion." - Proverbs 69:42 NGT
