Hey! As a vegan stoner, I resent that. I use an Arch-derivative (EndeavourOS btw).
French people and French-Canadians both use anglicisms, just in different ways.
For example, if we take the sentence "I parked my car in the parking lot for the weekend", someone from France might say:
J'ai stationné ma voiture dans le parking pendant le weekend
whereas someone from Canada could say
J'ai parké mon char dans le stationnement pour la fin de semaine
Both have influence from English, but in different places. English loanwords in Canada tend to originate from the beginning of the 20th century (a reason why many car-related terms in Canadian French are anglicisms, such as "bumper") and in France loanwords tend to be a more recent phenomenon.
I'm French-Canadian. My native language is French, I spoke French at home growing up and the entirety of my education was in French.
When I've visited Paris, I had people switching to English despite me speaking exclusively in French to them.
I wish my commute had me going along such a nice trail!
unbiased source of news
I honestly don't think this is possible.
Who's deciding what counts as "biased" or "unbiased", and how do we ensure there's no corruption there?
How do we determine "the truth" about controversial subjects when general opinion is split?
Even if you did determine a magical method to broadcast exclusively factual information without any spin; the choice of which information gets broadcast inherently introduces bias. You can't put literally everything that happened on Earth in a day on the evening news, so you have to choose and prioritize which information to broadcast, introducing the bias.
I've always thought a better solution would be having news sources be more explicit about their biases, rather than pretending they don't have any, but I realize that just introduces more problems without necessarily fixing anything.
Here's a page on the official Transport Canada website that does indeed link to the same survey as OP.
IIRC, Spotube streams its music from YouTube.
Most cyclists I know want more people on the bike paths.
I've never heard a driver bemoan a lack of traffic.
They're literally giving the richest family in the province 45 million in "tariff relief funds" over the next three years.
The Irvings own New Brunswick, except maybe a little patch in the north-west that's owned by the McCains. Two of the top ten richest families in Canada, living in one of the poorest provinces. Weird coincidence.
Xcode is an IDE, this version being released in March.
The Ides of March is the day Julius Caesar was assassinated.
I think that's all there is to the joke, unless I'm also missing something.
I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don't own a car, so that's probably more distance than I've covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.
Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.
(Happy National Acadian Day to all Acadians!)
Craquez-vous une Alpine, mettez du 1755 ou les Hay Babies, pis faites du tapage pour laisser savoir aux Anglais qu'on est still là!
Two cappuccinos I made one after the other in my café today. This couple came in and wanted large cappuccinos, so I made them in our 16oz cups. Not my cup of tea (nor coffee) but if I can make what you want, I will! Unfortunely, my muscle memory is attuned to steaming/pouring 8oz capps, and so the first one came out somewhat more phallic than I intended 😅
The only thing worse than a shitty pour is a shitty pour in the same order as a drink you nailed.
I'm just curious! I'd love to know what type of cafés anyone here is working at.
My current café is kinda old-school Italian style coffee-wise but much more laid back and add some hippy-granola vibes for good mesure. Our beans are roasted in-house, and pretty much all the food we sell is made in-house as well, down to the sauces, and anything we don't make ourselves is bought locally.
I've worked in two other cafés prior to this one. The first was a kinda upscale third-wave spot that mostly attracted yuppies, and the equipment far surpassed the training of any of the staff. We had pourovers on the menu and maybe 1 and a half employees actually knew how to brew with a V60.
The second was a hardline traditional Italian-style café, which, if you're familiar with the coffee culture in Canada (where I live) vs Italy, is a silly idea. A lot of people here only know Tim Horton's or Starbucks, especially in a mostly rural province like where I'm situated. You have to meet people where they're at; scoffing at people for wanting sweetener in their latte isn't likely to encourage them to jump into the coffee world in whichever way one deems proper. It'll only encourage them to stick to Timmies or Starbucks instead of checking out local cafés with actually good coffee.
(For some context, I live in Canada, beer labels are bilingually English & French here)
Fluent Reader was my stopping point when looking for a good desktop RSS reader. I'd rather a non-Electron-based app, but hey, ~~non-programmers~~ beggars can't be choosers.
