I don’t know where it love but downtown is probably some of the most sought after property and desirable locations in Toronto. So you statement is most definitely not applicable to “any city”.

The 0.8/kg is quite well documented, not just a single source.

Ok even looking at market prices of uranium, around $80/kg, Niger is still selling at 100 times cheaper than market rates to france. That is ridiculous.

People keep blaming Russia as if Africans are somehow incapable of making their own decisions. The reality is Africans are tired of French neo colonialism. Niger is a perfect example. They were selling france uranium for $0.8/kg when the market price is $200. That’s Niger’s resources going to power French power plants, while the people of Niger are struggling to survive. Fuck that shit.

That’s a thought I’ve always had a well, of we all actually like the same colours. Also could just be how you are raised. I remember calling tennis it green since I was a child and no one disagreed so the colour I see for a tennis ball, my brain sees as more green than yellow. It actually blew my mind when I first realized some people consider that colour to be yellow or at the very least closer to yellow.

Ya the photo is definitely more yellowish but I play tennis regularly and I always see it as green in person.

Am I the only one who sees tennis balls more as green than yellow? And no I am not colorblind, it just looks closer to lime green to me then yellow.

Agree, best episode so far!

Ya it’s quite good overall. I would recommend.

Meh, they had to make the changes. The book cycles through characters every few chapters. You can’t make a show without characters people can invest in.

Your downvotes mean you like women undefended and unprotected. that’s kinda sorta a bunch fucked up. please find peace in your lives where you aren’t afraid of guns because you just want to rape unopposed.

LOL. no, it doesnt.

Real estate

Ya but better than videos showing thousands of innocent dead Iraqi civilians followed by a clip of him saying shame on me.

Okay so what are you getting from either of those that you can’t get from attending the same on Teams/Zoom etc.?

Firstly real human interaction. There is a lot of team building that can occur just from having lunch together. Second, just physically being able to put sticky notes or drawing lines and watching someone else do so without having to have someone try to point out where exactly they put something to you in a virtual whiteboard is way more efficient.

Workshops also just feel like school and the presenters always talk too fast, quiet, or accented for my hearing and ADHD to make it worth me going to one, some dedicated study time always was the better route for me.

Firstly if you just have a presenter talking to you, then that doesn’t sound like a collaborative workshop. Workshops might have someone who guides the discussion but never just presenters otherwise that’s not really a workshop and more just a presentation that can be done online.

Meanwhile strategy sesh’s are just conversations with an end goal, nothing difficult about that at all.

I am not sure what kind of strategy sessions you are having but when you are setting things like commercial STRAP for divisions of 20K or more employees, you need more than just a conversation. You need to draw out roadmaps, have working sessions, even the human interactions through lunches and dinners plays a big part.

One thing people who are against work from home have to realize is that not everybody functions the same, some people do better remotely, others need the office.

It’s not black or white. I am a remote worker who travels regularly. Would I ever give up being remote. No. More than half my job can be done from home and I am not wasting my time travelling to the office. But that doesn’t mean I don’t acknowledge when something is just better in person. Not everything is perfect remote and not everything needs to be done in the office. You can have a mix of both and choose based on the requirements of the task.

Additionally, the type of people who are in positions to set organizational strategy are usually the types of personalities that do function between in person because they are typically extroverted personalities. It’s not like I am suggesting you bring a developer to an on site session. I am talking about leaders.

I am not. Sure my pocket has plenty of depth too but that doesn’t mean i want a giant slab in it when there is plenty of width to spare and my phone can afford to get thicker.

I prefer working remote as well and not suggesting going back full time. I just think there are some things that are better in person. Fortunately my work provides a good balance where I am remote 50 - 80% of the time but can fly in to different locations for a F2F when necessary.

Depends on the type of work. Workshops and strategy sessions are definitely better in person than online for me.

Maybe for you. For me I always found the length annoying. My pockets have width. A phone can be thicker. That’s also the case with a lot of purses.

I find them much easier to carry.

That analogy would work if toys were ultimately targeted to adults which they are not. A smartphone on the other had is targeted towards adults thus getting a child or teen to have brand loyalty at an early age would ultimately convert to sales as an adult.
