We're situated geographically between the US (which is no longer a country we can consider as allies) and Russia, and we have 20% of the world's surface freshwater (7% of the world's renewable water flow)
In the upcoming times of global instability and climate crisis, Canada's definitely gonna be seeing some action.
Don't underestimate how much American MAGA rhetoric has infiltrated Canada. A lot of people here are bigoted against immigrants, queers, natives, or [INSERT MARGINALIZED GROUP HERE].
Even in my heavily Liberal city, I've heard someone suggest a homeless hunting season (as in, a season to hunt homeless people). I've seen a guy rage because city hall was flying a Pride flag. I've heard people say they're scared to go to the mall because there's too many immigrants now.
I do truly think most people I encounter have their hearts in the right place, but I'm often surprised at what some of them say, even the ones who seem nice. Unfortunately, I think this rightward shift represents more of the population than we'd like to admit.
I'd imagine half the users here have blue hair, piercings, white guilt, and pride flag bumper stickers
I am definitely the type of person you're trying to describe here and I'm honestly just insulted you think I'd own a car. I cycle everywhere, thank you.
I do have a bunch of Pride stickers on my bike though, ya got me there!
When I used to work at a summer camp, we had this mud pit behind one of the cabins where we'd bring groups who were down for it (usually the older kids). It looked exactly like this and the kids loved it.
One time we went in and a kid felt something in the mud and we pulled out a full skull of some animal. We stopped bringing the kids there afterwards, lol
I don't typically use a VPN so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure what you're looking for is split tunneling. Set it so that all traffic goes through your VPN except the IP of your NAS.
"They put a single bike lane on a single street and no one used it!!"
I doubt many people would use a road for cars if there were only one and you had to drive on busy railroads to get to it. Same logic applies to a bike lane surrounded by car-centric infrastructure. You need a network, not a single lane, if you actually want people to use a means of transportation.
That's ignoring the fact that drivers consistently underestimate how many people actually use the bike lane.
