I'm glad to see improvements but I find the fact they needed to even do a pilot project for this a bit ridiculous. Of course people will have better mobility if the sidewalk is actually clear. Residents reported significant improvemts even while the sidewalks are getting a fraction of the attention the roads gets.

The article also mentions how a plow will often refill the sidewalk after it passes. The city should strive to try to have sidewalk plows follow road plows, especially on major routes and near schools. Having a sidewalk clear "within 24 hours" after a storm is a bit ridiculous. Some storms hit pretty hard, but people still have to work and get places regardless.

Many of the residents who helped report sidewalk conditions in the study have also reported falling due to uncleared sidewalks. This isn't just a mobility issue, it is a public health issue as well.

That sounds great. Unfortunately i doubt I could manage that lifestyle. I live alone and work 50-60 hours a week on a fluctuating schedule so it is very difficult for me to meal plan most days. I often get just 1 day off a week. On top of that i have a fast metabolism and work a physically demanding trade job. I find I can't eat too heavy for breakfast or lunch otherwise i end up sluggish.

Due to my fast metabolism and physical job, I am underweight for my height despite above average calorie intake. I tend to do as you did and eat a larger meal in the evening, I'll often actually eat 2 servings about 1 hour apart. However i find that the digestion doesn't keep me up too much, at least compared to the nausea and cramping i experience with an empty stomach. There have been many long days where i try to go to bed skipping dinner and inevitably end up cooking at like 11pm to shut my stomach up and end the nausea.

On top of that, i live in a cold climate and find digesting food overnight can help keep me warm. I keep my place pretty chilly to save energy, both for financial and environmental reasons. Digesting overnight is especially useful if I'm camping in the shoulder seasons or winter.

I find the best strategy for me has been to wear myself out enough both mentally and physically to get a good sleep. On days where i am worn out and actually go to bed when i feel tired 10 minutes is roughly what it would take for me to sleep. My long hours are probably the biggest factor in my sleep issues, somewhat counter intuitively, because I need to "unpack" my day mentally after getting home, which may not be until 9 some days. It also doesn't leave a ton of extra room to wear myself out if I haven't yet. My body will basically vibrate and legs will bounce and shake if i need more physical wearing out.

I may try your strategy if i think i can work with enough food before the evening but i doubt I'll be able to consume enough calories and still be able to work effeciently. I'd say about half the calories i eat are in the evening and thats with a breakfast and lunch that satiate me but don't leave me sluggish. I also work on the road so bathrooms aren't often available. Larger meals in the morning could shift my movements, which tend to happen in morning or early evening, to mid day, which could be problematic.

The near death experience probably helped her realize that life is far to short to be living as a gender they don't identify with.

Doesn't change the 65% of the seats for 40% of the votes statistic. Most voters didn't want him. Those who didn't vote don't impact the polls, maybe if they did vote it could skew the broken system away from Ford but it is clear our voting system needs to be reformed.

Im my experience I end up with wet dreams well before an erection is going to wake me up.

It can if they currently have an unhealthy habit or addiction to fapping or porn.

Yea I'm remembering a post, which i sincerely hope was trolling, where someone was unemployed and played video games for most of the hours of the day and thought it was unreasonable that their partner wanted more interaction with them outside of gaming.

Its all in their name. You are literally just a resource to the company. If you become too expensive or problematic to use, they cut you loose.

And it still barely works then cause we don't have proportional representation. Doug ford has 65% of the seats with 40% of the vote. He is not what most of Ontario wants, but its what we are stuck with.

Well doug can call an emergency election any time he wants, why can't the people?

The landlords have the job of ensuring rent stays unaffordable, why would doug stop that? His developer buddies don't wanna build in a fair market where 3500/month is unreasonable for a 1000 sqft condo.

And won't get another shot until 3 am, even if I'm already days behind on sleep.

I have no problem going to bed, its falling asleep thats hard. If i get a case of the yawns or feel a touch tired, i have maybe a 30 minute window to take advantage of that.

They know the feedback isn't good so they don't even wanna hear it.

Its hard to when he sends out a bribe and calls an emergency election for no justifiable reason except he could see his popularity starting to slip so he had to nip it in the butt, hence the bribe cheques sent to taxpayers.

I mean i didn't fall for the ruse but a lot of folks will forget about all the corruption and problems not being addressed when they see their tax dollars returned directly to them. They wanna vote for the guy putting tax dollars back in their pocket, even if that guy is going to waste every penny that wasn't refunded making ontario worse.

There is plenty of dark humor jokes out there that have to set up the occurance first. Overall i think you are reading into the evil of this a bit too much.

Baby yoda had been a curious and hungry creature from the very start, often snacking on whatever it could gets its hands on. Eggs are generally seen as nutrious and tasty. Baby yoda, being a baby, has no concepts of the ideas of property ownership, maternity, or even that an egg makes life. I think its very reasonable and realistic that the creature would try snacking on it.

Dark humor is still humor

Right, cause some baby creature is considering the intelligence of something before going for a snack.

Ive noticed this too, some of the ads I've heard on the radio are similar to the ads in the US where the disclaimer and side effects warnings are longer than the ad itself.
