Have you seen the proposed Official Community Plan for Burnaby? I would say it could go further at densifying neighourhoods near transit, but its clear that most of the city will become zoned for apartments and townhomes.

This doesn't just address the design bottleneck. Since it is a standard, permitting is super fast to approve. Construction will be quicker since each home will be made of standard components. The hope is that much of the construction can be done off site with a quicker assembly done on site.

Funding may be easier to get if the are able to negotiate with the builder. Say, the original owner gets a new unit + lump sum and the builder gets to sell the other units to pay off the costs of construction.

Ironically, Plexus currently crashes and won't open on GrapheneOS. Both 2.0.3 on F-Droid and 2.0.6 on IzzyOnDroid.

More than a decade later and I still get nightmares about screwing this up, not dropping a course, finding out late, and having to prepare for an exam without ever having attended the lectures.

For the sake of your future sleep, please make sure not to miss this! :P

I tend to avoid stacking primary tags, like shop. I would use shop=sports combined with sports=surf;skate.

The neighbourhood rats ate nearly all my strawberries the last two years so this year I transplanted them into hanging baskets. I see lots of berries growing so I am crossing my fingers we get to eat some this year!

Three apartment fires with one common factor.

The properties were — and still are — owned by Fu De (Henry) Ren and his wife, Fang Yan. And while the Mount Pleasant fire was determined to be accidental, the buildings and their owners had a record of multiple fire safety violations.

I use an Electra Cruiser as my commuter.

It is very comfortable and easy to ride. It has a really nice low gear so I just take my time going up hills.

Love it. This was one of my fav games of my childhood. I only finally beat it after I came back to it as an adult so I can relate to the scene in this photo.

I still know so many of the hidden lives and power ups.

I had fun playing it on PC, but the game is just that much more fun and immersive on the Deck. I'd say it's the first game where I've noticed a big difference since I got my Deck last week.

On the other hand, I found Slay the Spire to be better on PC. The controls and smaller screen seem to get in the way a little bit more.

Any other suggestions for games that really shine on the Deck vs PC?

I am hopeful for small modular reactors (SMR's). They have the potential for significant construction cost savings, are less of a risk from terrorism/disaster, and can often be located closer to the load (long power lines lose power).
