I am starting the process to immigrate to Canada from the US. Maybe unsurprisingly I find I have no ideas where I would like to live. I do enjoy mountains, and don't want to be in the heart of a city.
  • Honestly, Manitoba may not be a bad choice for you (unless the no mountains thing is a deal breaker).

    • left leaning government for at least another three years
    • $120k CAD salary will be very comfortable anywhere in the province
    • cold as balls half the year (since you're okay with cold)
    • lots of farmland for locally grown food
  • Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 20th
  • Same old same old. I only have a Switch, so mostly MarioKart while my bones disintegrate waiting for Silksong and Hades II.

    If anyone has any metroidvania rec's, I'm all ears. Already played both Ori games, HK, HAAK, Unbound. Haven't found much else in the Nintendo Shop that appeals to me.

  • A new COVID-19 variant has emerged. Here's what we know about EG.5 so far
  • I'm aware of the limitations I'm subjecting myself to, but I'd far rather live with them than live without smell, taste, clear lungs, or clear cognition.

    In Canada, mask behaviours depend on the area. I think the larger cities are generally better in terms of people wearing masks and people leaving you alone for it.

    I haven't gotten any comments my small prairie town, but it's an everyone-knows-someone-who-knows-you type of place. I think I've seen one other person wearing a mask in the past several months, but people generally know who I am, that I'm immunocompromised, and nobody says anything to me about it. That being said, I don't really go out much and literally never go anywhere indoors without a fit tested N95 or better (with the one exception of my dentist, who still has a number of precautions in place).

    But there's a small city a half hour away where I'd legitimately fear being physically assaulted just for wearing a mask and minding my own business. It's basically a 10 square mile slice of 'murica, rednecks and trumpsters included.

  • A new COVID-19 variant has emerged. Here's what we know about EG.5 so far
  • There are so many vectors for infection that it is kinda silly to try.

    This statement, in and of itself, is silly. That's like giving up on washing your hands and sterilizing equipment because it's just too much effort.

    Unless you're frequently digging for gold with unwashed hands, SARS-COV-2 transmission enormously favours the airborne vector.
