Would you pay to see a family doctor faster? Quebecers are, and critics are worried
  • It is by design.

    Decades of sabotage. It was managed by and for the doctors. Under the threat that they would leave the province, we gave them everything. They operate as private entities within the hospitals and can bill whatever medical acts they want with little surveillante.

    My kid would need an appointement with a specialist: the waiting list was six months. Or I could see THE SAME FUCKING DOCTOR at his privately owned clinic the next week.

    Obviously, when you're ill and have the mean and access, you will pay. In the end, it's the poors that pay the price of a worse service.

    I could rant about Bonjour Santé and their shady businees practice, but let's just say the private sector has its foot, and more, in the door for a long time by now.

  • Lemmy, what are some of your "oh shit" work stories?
  • Same idea: restore a backup to the automatically selected database in the drop down instead of a new database (Thanks Sql Server 2000 entreprise manager!)

    Overwrote a client production database that the sysadmin couldn't find any backup for, two hours before I went on a two week vacation.

    Fun times.

  • Quebec Premier François Legault defends decision to subsidize NHL pre-season games
  • If you think the Nhl will relocate/allocate a team to Québec because they gave the Kings $7M, you're delusional. There's not a million people in Québec and there are multiple big metro areas in the USA that could host a team (hello Houston). As long as bettman is commissioner, they will never have à team.

    Also, Legault is not doing that to help bring a team. He's pandering to the hopes of Québec people. He's doing that because he's Falling in the polls in that area after backpedaling on digging a tunnel to the South shore and subsequently losing a partial élection in Québec city.

  • Best way to sell used games?
  • Facebook Marketplace, to dedicated groups. I don't like using Facebook, but it's selling pretty quickly everytime.

    Otherwise, there's a FLGS that does used games sales every season. You bring your games and if they sell, you get credits to use at the store.

  • What is your favorite insult in your native language that doesn't exist or cant be directly translated in English?
  • The beauty of these words is their compositionability(?). "Mon hostie de calice de tabarnak m'a t'en crissé une" is a great example of using these words as nouns, adjectives and verbs. They can even be adverbs (calice, calicer, calicement, criss, crisser, crissement, etc.)

    On their own they're not really insult though.

    Also disliking "those guys" as a generalised statement is a pretty racist statement, ironically.
