I disagree since I think censorship can be desired when combatting hate speech. Maybe we just disagree how exactly we use the word 'censorship'.

You don't know that! All you know is that you don't know if you know any of us. ;)

I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships.

It is a Korean drama where each episode focuses on a different character, all living on the same street in Seoul in 1988. I recommend it to everyone as my favourite show but especially for your preference described above. You feel each character's struggles and successes. The way the show develops the characters through their relationships with their families and friends is outstanding.

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!

I had contributed before but ultimately I don't find it that useful because the app is incomplete. The concept is valuable and I like the evaluation visualization, but incomplete or incorrect data make it much less useful.
Only the latest "evaluation" of an app is saved. It was very common for me to reopen Sapio only to discover someone had assigned a different evaluation from the one I had given and my evaluation was gone.
The user should be able to add a comment saying which features don't work. Just saying "Some features do not work" is not that helpful. Some users may have tested an app more thoroughly than others and so can provide details about specific parts of the app that do or do not work.
I have relied on completely degoogled android for many years now (first LineageOS and then GrapheneOS) but I almost didn't even try because I didn't know if my apps would work. A database like this would have been very useful at the time. Hopefully it can be made even better.

Thanks for your comment, I agree with you that generalities are harmful (and often lazy thinking).
If I understand what you are saying, that's not what I meant. I don't intend to say all landlords are bad people, but that landlordism itself is bad. It is not possible for there to be a good landlord because the relationship that must exist between a landlord and renter is exploitative and harmful.

The behaviour of the owners is disgusting. There is no such thing as a good landlord.
“Everyone deserves a safe place to live,” Vlietstra said. “I believe that is a basic human right: a safe place to live, that you can call home and not fear it’s going to burn down or people are going to break in.”

We lost our feijoa this year even though we covered and lightly heated them. They had survived colder winters but I think this time the temperature dropped too suddenly.
We lost Chilean guava last year.
I am not willing to try any more zone 8 plants in Vancouver but I haven't figured out what to replace them with.
On that note, what are everyone's favourite fruit trees/shrubs to grow in the Lower Mainland? We have figs, Italian plums, blueberries, and kiwi berries. I am considering adding pears or mulberries.

Yes this is my biggest complaint of the ecosystem. Many games are difficult to play with the controller even if they are verified. For one: I wish there was an easier way to change the joystick acceleration curve for each game.
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?
