I semi recently discovered train hopping channels. Mainly Gifgas, but there are a few related ones that cross over into urban exploration (shiey for example). Especially the train hopping is something I would never do myself, and I guess that's why it's so fascinating.

Harr!

Borrow from German: Übermorgen

Just pretend you wrote it in Swiss German and you're good!

You could say it's a matter of personal taste.

40 in residential areas feels pretty natural to me, given the road layout in most cases. Definitely a change for the better!

We should build more two or three story walk ups like Montreal has in the older neighborhoods. Places like the Plateau or St. Henri are great to live in.

Bandaids for all the symptoms, as long as we can just keep on consuming.

Montreal has excellent areas! Miss that city a lot.

I mean, that's pretty scientific training right there

Not gonna lie, this is a bit of a let down for me.

Full time remote since March 2020. I have even moved cities since then, away from the office completely, and the company has hired on and off site over the last three years, mostly going by candidates, not geographical location. That's the way to do it if you can (IT etc).

I'm pretty happy with it. Work wise, people are used to it by now, and as long as we deliver results, we are trusted to work how we see fit. Management is fully on board with it. The social aspects don't bother me much, but the company does hold off site events twice a year, which helps with social ties.

The main downsides for me are a) that I'm missing my bike commute in the summer (free exercise!), and b) that I actually tend to work longer hours since I don't have the commute time anymore.

But not needing a car is great, lots of carbon impact and financial savings there.
