Or logging, or farming. There's a bunch of reasons to have low population density road networks.

Saw (or rather heard) a few at a football game recently. They're still here, but at least it isn't a stadium full.
Instead we use cowbells like God and nature intended ;)
At this latitude?
Technically, if the bicycle is motor assisted, then yes that would also illegal in Canada and on rare occasion. There was a recent case here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/amherst-man-charged-with-impaired-driving-while-riding-e-bike-1.7576394
However, the original story and this one share a common theme -- attempts to circumvent a driving ban by using a motorized vehicle that straddles a grey area of the definition. And both involved them playing in traffic.
As far as I know, no recent cases have involve true non-motorized vehicles. Legal precedent suggests that bikes, skateboards, horses, etc., are allowed to be operated over limit. However, you can still be charged with all sorts of secondary things depending on how you're operating.
Epic answer haha. My other half grew up in a Soviet apartment block, so I get stories from her about that on occasion. Mostly about not owning any of it except their contents. Definitely a "poor but housed" situation -- don't look behind the curtains. I'm not sure it's a good idea either. During the collapse of the Soviet Union when the power and heat shut off, they were burning furniture in there -- but I guess that's a testament too a solid construction haha.
Anyway, fun reply! :)
Was in Regina for the weekend (I'm a Bomber fan, don't hate me) and had a nice time! We were looking up real estate and comparing against Winnipeg and it seemed similar ish. But that doesn't tell us about the rental market which sometimes has weird emergent phenomena.
If you were benevolent dictator of Canadastan, how would you fix it?
Yeah, and the east coast, excluding Halifax.
Prairie cities, except Calgary, doing alright too.
Or the opposite -- you wake up with the cat sleeping on your chest, nose three inches from yours, and you're like: "I just want to roll over and now I can't!"
This is actually hilarious.
Duck typing is my favourite. Pry it from my cold dead (object that appears to be hands, and probably is, but maybe isn't).
Nice perspective.
What would you consider to be a contribution of value? Posting? Comments? Moderating? Installing a server rack in your closer for nightly backups? What would you suggest a minimum contribution for continued use should be?
We maintain a small fleet of RTK GPS systems (Emlid Reach RS+ units or similar). But sometimes they sit too long on the shelf and parasitic drain kicks in. The manufacturer recommends recharging every three months, but ooops, this one went too long. If the batteries are too low, the battery management system (BMS) won't charge the batteries at all when you attach the USB charger cable. In this case, the batteries were testing at 0.9V rather than the desired 3.4V.
Solution: open the device, expose a tiny bit of conductor on the battery harness, and attach 3V worth of alkaline batteries for a short period. Once the lithium batteries are up a little, you can then charge with the normal USB charger again.
The manufacturer does not recommend opening the sealed unit, as it voids the IP67 rating. And this is not a best practice. But it works. The above photos were taken in April and the unit has been trucking along ever since. Saved a few thousand dollars :)
Manitoba should invade down that highway -- see how the rest of Canada feels when the Riel Rebellion ...
Ah nevermind, let bygones be bygones.
