I have embroidery software and cs3 suite that won't run on linux so I'm planning an offline windows 8.1 just for them on an old computer.

Fixed my son's computer by shredding all evidence of Microsoft off his computer and installing Linux Devuan OS. Fortunatly his files were all stored on his separate ssd dut to a previous issue.

poker, without the money, isn't much different from any other card game. We used to play poker as a family game with a butter tub of pennies that all went back into the pot when we were done. It's very similar to rummy or bridge. Part skill part luck. Like pretty much any board game.

Solar panels are not degradable and are piling up in toxic landfills as are windmill blades.

Don't forget that they have power shortages and strict rationing in that equation. So at the end of the day they have 75% solar but it is not adequate for the population.

Faux fur retail costs 20-45 dollars a yard and requires a multithread overlock machine. Liner fabric costs 1-4 dollars a yard and requires less skill and a plain (single stitch) machine. Obviously they will be paying wholesale prices but the cost difference remains. The real difference in the costs between China and the US is the labour. Americans want cheap prices at the store but a living wage at their job. China is the capital of slave labour and Americans are supporting it with their wallets.

And slave labour. Nobody cares that their cheap products are the fruit of slave labour.

Most of the comments below are citing statistics for Canada or the whole Province of Quebec,not Montreal, which is like using the US housing statistics for NYC.

Tourism is a major industry in Montreal, probably as much as venice and Kyoto with year long festivals and the fact that it is an Island is also an issue.

Montreal is a fully developed Island. Your arguement doesn't make sense.Montreal has become unaffordable for the workers who support the tourism and blue collar industries.

LA's Totally Awesome carpet cleaner from the dollar tree. I was holding a bottle trying to get a stain out of my daughter's bedding and saw one. I was so mad by then I sprayed at the sucker and it instantly keeled over. No clue what's in the stuff but it saved my sanity.

cloudflare blocked me from signing in to my petflow account to buy cat food. It was in an endless verification loop. Awhile back it did the same with my paid crunchyroll subscription. I don't code, I have a very ordinary setup with a well known browser. Apparently cloudflare now owns our access to the internet and can block whom it pleases, when it pleases, no recourse. The internet is soon to be available only to those who fit cloudflare's criteria, whatever that may be, as long as companies keep buying in to the third party control.
