The article says they are fundraising but doesn't give a link. I guess they aren't fundraising from the public? Does anyone have more info?

Power and love to this mom. It cannot be easy speaking about this.

I get prioritizing over tourists, but help me understand, why should island residents get a priority over residents of the Lower Mainland? Unless an island resident is coming for medical treatment they can't get on the island?

I can't imagine a 50% reduction to bus service. I am guessing a solution is still being negotiated.

Transit-oriented and nonprofit, I can't ask for much more. I wish this project all the success.

I am very familiar with this Heriarchy of Controls for my work designing the power system. We care deeply about public and worker safety. And then traffic engineers throw it out the window when they design our roads? It is very frustrating to see. Motonormativity at work.

I am also a subscriber. While some of the produce still comes from the US, I think it reduces our dependence by reducing waste. It is cheaper than the super market but still more expensive than the local grocers here in Vancouver.

This is a great explanation. I do hope someone picks this up because it provided a lot of value to the community.

For me, the biggest loss is the hardened Firefox-derived browser, Mull. Is Fennec with some custom settings the next best option? I know Vanadium is a good option but based on Chromium.

That tree looks very dead.

It's nearing the end of the year and I am on a better financial situation than I anticipated.

I am planning to donate to VisionZero and Movement because I am familiar with their missions and want to improve walking/cycling/bussing conditions in our region.

I don't know much about organizations addressing homelessness and ppverty and I would like to donate to groups addressing these challenges as well.

What local organizations and charities do you donate to and why? What organizations are the most important or effective at their mission?

I also really enjoy this one. However, it contains no tea leaves so not a 'true' tea. 'Tisane' or 'herbal infusion' are the more precise terms.

 

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 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?
