Yay for my city that plows the sidewalks before the streets. I can't find the reference now but there was a good study about the health and safety benefits of prioritizing sidewalks. It's a feminist and anti-ableism issue.

#snow #Longueuil #DogsOfMastodonBTW if anybody can send me the link to that study, I'll include it in a thank you and encouragement email to the city. To help them stay strong in case there are drivers complaining because they think it should be the streets first.

Voilà ce que je viens d'écrire à la ville:
Bonjour,
Je voulais écrire en reconnaissance du travail de déneigement à Longueuil. Vous le savez surement déjà, puisque vous mettez la priorité sur le déneigement des trottoirs : c’est meilleur pour la santé et sécurité de toustes. Je suis toujours contente de me réveiller en hiver et voir que ma ville suit les meilleurs pratiques.

To those drivers you can reply that to clean the sidewalks before the streets is fundamental, to make enough space to store the snow removed from the street.

@GustavinoBevilacqua seriously! It's an issue here.

Not difficult to understand!
And to pack all the excess of snow on large ships and to send it to Tehran, where soon they must evacuate the town because there is no more water¹, doesn't seem a feasible idea.

@GustavinoBevilacqua
On the other hand, it might be feasible to store snow for use in summer:

BTW, that was made since 1780 BCE in Mesopotamia…

@kimlockhartga little baby snowplows. They're adorable, and sidewalk sized. I'll try to get a picture next time I happen to be outside when they pass.

One baby snow plow, coming right up -
@kimlockhartga
One baby snow plow, coming right upI think being the sidewalk plow person would be an excellent job, although there’s probably some rivalries with the road plow guys, everyone pushing snow onto the other person's territory.
I wonder if you'd get fired for plowing too much? Like I know places in our area that could use a sidewalk, so maybe just start plowing them on the side. -

Our neighborhood has some streets without sidewalks and I just can't even.

@dillyd @kimlockhartga There's folks without cars that walk the half mile or so to get groceries. The areas they walk get buried under snow and ice by passing plows

OK, Wayne had a real bear scare. I reckon he's justified in bailing out.
Sam's looking awful cozy, though.

Ah, hell, his name is Joe. But, dude, you had a fire going when you lost the fire starter. Just keep it going forever. Where else you gotta be that you can't put a log on the fire every couple hours? Night time is a challenge, but if you keep it reasonably dry, you can stoke it back to life again in the morning.
-
Doomed by misplacing the fire starter is relatable. I would definitely lose something vitally important to my survival immediately.

Maybe they've saved the competent folks for later. Two guys have boiled water in episode 2, including the "better float across this water on a rickety tarp raft".
This guy eating a banana slug, a notorious carrier of rat lung worm, seems like an avoidable risk? At least he thoroughly cooked it.
-
Thanks, all. I'd say No.

I mean, I guess it's saltwater. But, I think they're in a rainforest? They said this place gets 12+ feet of rain every year.
But, they're seemingly all drinking collected water without boiling or treating it. These folks are not gonna last long.
-
How am I going to get across all this water to find water?
I know this sounds like a joke, but that is literally what is happening here.

OK, Alone is fantastic. The cop talking tough while leaving after the first day because of bears is hilarious. Oh, there are bears in the woods? Better go home, tough guy.
Next one to leave is because he's afraid of dogs.
And, look, bears are scary as shit. But, these guys act like serious outdoorsmen, and they've never run into wildlife? Without a firearm they're terrified? I'm a casual but regular hiker, and I've been sniffing distance from bears, a bobcat, a lynx, and wolves.
