Fun story, i used to do a lot of fly-in/out for a mine close to the artic circle which involved getting stuck on loud propeller planes for hours.

At some point, I realised that I could fall asleep before take-off but rarely during. Unintentionnally, I trained myself to fall asleep before takeoff.

Now, I just fall asleep before takeoff in any plane which makes my wife mad when she is excited to travel somewhere and I just doze off ...

Boomers who happen to gave everyone else do stuff for them, does not care that the job is done poorly as long as they dont have to think too hard.

Thats what the poster would show, they'd start teardown and find some ridonculous way to fail at the construction phase.

The easiest way to compare is Irish/Scottish relative to global English. Or better yet, a thick American southern accent compared to a British accent.

The idioms, the accent etc all have their particularity. Typically quebecers can understand French from France but the opposite is a little more difficult.

All that being said, just like all languages there's localised variations around quebec. And a trained hear can usually tell the difference between someone from Gatineau, Montréal, quebec, Gaspésie or Lac St-Jean.

There's an easy fix for that, end citizen United and dark money.

Cars kill more cyclists than the other way around.

Hell, cars kills more cars than cyclists do.

Litterally just reading about the reading crisis and how we don't know why it is so bad...

Maybe there's a link between the two.
