Just for context I live in Montreal about 6 hours east and have most of the same job prospects but just to quote the very first source I found: “ You would need around 8,129.0C$ in Toronto to maintain the same standard of life that you ca

Yes I work with these IPD spreadsheets every day and they all have typos often in the time/date column (issues with midnight and new years are very common) this can result in an erroneous reporting of something like average drug exposu

the 3 words aren’t for us they are exclusively for the search and rescue team who we talk to when buddy breaks his spine and needs an airlift And you can avoid the ovens vs oven problem by just picking a coordinate with good simple words th

It’s not a perfect system clearly but we used the 3-word code when I worked in forestry because everyone needed to memorize some kind of coordinates for emergencies requiring evacuation from our camp but nobody had a GPS or a map just an ol

It depends if that structure ever burns or rots since this would release much of the same carbon back into the atmosphere There is actually some research on growing fast crops to be immediately buried after harvest as a CCS solution but it’

Oh replanting is much better than leaving a cut block to nature but a “true forest” in this sense would have an ecosystem - many different plants which support a population of animals etc… Without that it’s more or less a wheat field in eco

Actually not really they burn quicker and hotter since the tree planters are meant to put a pine or spruce tree very regularly every 6-8 feet in more or less a grid which gives the resulting trees a very bushy characteristic and crowds out

The scale of logging in Canada is pretty hard to convey but can be best seen on Google maps satellite view British Columbia cut blocks are so large and numerous they give the interior forest a textured look of dark green light green and bro

I worked long months in the forestry industry (re-planting trees) during university it’s not so tough as sex work but sometimes people throw it in the bag of “low-skill” or “manual labour” jobs as if thought or critical thinking we’re not r

I think the thing is that from cell An2 adding 4 should bring you to A2 not A1 but no matter what it seems like a lot of mental strain to work across those negative quadrants

I had to write some VBA + excel stuff at work the other day so if a project like this could take off that would be very welcome But what is the advantage to having the negative quadrants? Couldn’t the positive quadrant extend to infinity an

Yeah looking at the responses they include without using a safety layer it’s pretty clear that the underlying unfiltered model assigns quite a bit of truth to 4chan-esque ideals and values It’s an open question how much of this makes it thr
