The UN is meant to be a forum for discussion, not a means for enforcement of any rules or laws. The whole point was for representatives of “all” countries to be able to come together and discuss their issues with each other.

I’m pretty sure Twitch has stopped exclusivity deals. They even recently allowed showing combined Twitch and Youtube chats on screen.

This is not a “system,” it’s a PSA campaign. These aren’t installed anywhere, they were just put there to make the ads.

Those plastic things are just for show, as part of the campaign, which is why the drivers seem surprised that they’re there. They’re not actually installed on any roads. But having them pop up as the car approaches if there’s a pedestrian on the corner makes it obvious that the car needs to stop.

A car on the tracks can cause the train to derail, potentially killing many people.

Snow removal is normally an on-call job. There’s no need to work when there’s no snow to remove. It’s not a reliable source of income.

A seasonal job like landscaping or irrigation can be reliable. Snow removal is unfortunately not one of those jobs. It makes sense if you can do multiple similar jobs during the season.

Let’s be real, it’s not that much money. I mean $30/hr is nice, but that’s only when there’s enough snow to be worth cleaning, and only half the year. It’s not like a full-time position paid $30/hr.

So the investment is relatively small, and the benefit is relatively large.

So we all agree that some guy got caught blowing a salmon and made this up as an excuse, right?

“Caught”

They did it out in the open, and definitely weren’t trying to hide it.

It’s a 1 in 4 chance of guessing both right. With odds like those, she should be playing the lottery.

That’s not efficient. You gotta line them up for real efficiency.

Why do you need to clean the guillotine? Afraid they’ll get an infection?

Chest compressions force air out of the lungs pretty violently. If there’s a blockage in the oesophagus, and you can’t perform abdominal thrusts (due to obesity for example), chest compressions are an acceptable alternative.

When giving the back blows, you should have the person bend over first.

I recently took a first air course. I was told abdominal thrusts were the first course of action. If the person is obese and you can’t get your arms around them, you should try back blows first. You have the person bend over and give them hard palm strikes in the back, not slaps. If you still can’t get the obstruction out, the last option is chest compressions, but that’s likely to break ribs in the process.

The previous Mayor of Montreal, who ran for Projet Montréal campaigned partly on expanding bike lanes and followed through on several major bike lane projects.

I don’t know the history of this specific bike lane, but I know it’s a small street that normally doesn’t get a ton of traffic. It’s a perfect street to host a bike lane, but it’s a somewhat upper-class neighborhood and the residents want their street parking, and bikes are for the poor.

Look at him, he’s just skin and bones! Feed the poor thing!

They mean push (pedal) bike vs motor bike, not a bike that you push around.

Virtue signalling is still better than doing nothing.
