@npub1u24…32pl Huh. I wonder how they beta-tested it.
I still wouldn't wear something that expensive and environment-blocking out of the home unless it were a secure space, such as a private sleeping cabin.

@npub1r37…xrlz There is a place in Toronto called Riverdale Farm. It was the first zoo before that got moved. It has old farm buildings, assorted farm animals and a beautiful walking trail. It seems more people with kids know about it, but it's fun for adults, too. :)

@npub1w55…xmcf @npub1a24…etnp As for going extinct, no, not for this reason. There are still women who want kids, but they are usually happier with fewer. Expecting women to give up their identities so men can have housekeepers and broods is, well, pathetic. Women are, firstly, people; regardless what religion and pathetic men want to push, we are not chattel for their pleasure.

@npub1w55…xmcf @npub1a24…etnp The Amish have religious communities with undereducated girls. They marry young and are raised to marry and have children. You can't compare this to mainstream populations.
Sure, you want women to have lots of babies, remove choice and keep them submissive.

@npub1a24…etnp How well educated are the women? Studies show that generally, the more educated, the fewer kids they want. What is the gender disparity? That will also factor into it. What's health care like (how many die in pregnancy or childbirth)?

And, yeah, that a different problem: doctors shouldn't be made to drive cabs. If they want to make sure their education is sufficient (different standards in different countries), then just give them an exam.

@npub1a24…etnp Make living affordable. Make a single wage-earner with a single job able to pay the mortgage, car, education of children, expenses. Affordable day care, maternity and paternity time off, sick days not just for working parents but for sick kids.
I don't think houses would be filled with babies, but maybe 2-3.
Globally, there are lots of kids, and immigration is a great way to distribute populations. Those bemoaning falling birthrates usually mean falling White birthrates.

@npub1gmx…atcq After the crisis, I told a friend who was in medical residence what had happened. Before I got to the diagnosis, he said it sounded like her body was fighting a tumour. Bingo. So every time she got a cold, her immune system was so overworked, it just took a very long time to get over it. Young doctors aren’t as jaded as older ones. Older ones, particularly men, seem to diagnose someone in the first 30 sec, then stop listening.

Before that could happen, her roommate called 911, she went to the hospital, they had her in ice baths for days to get her temp down, and found she had a fist-sized tumour.
She was lucky she had a roommate.

@npub1gmx…atcq Advocating for oneself can be difficult when one thinks doctors are "smart and know more." My sister almost died because a series of doctors did not believe her when she told them something was wrong. They would do a blood test, find nothing, told her she was being hypochondriac, to stop wasting their time, wouldn't look any further. At my urging, because I believed her, she saw another doctor, a woman, who listened, and when the blood test came back...

I remember way back reading an article about a republican woman who went to a democrat town hall. She came out horrified that anyone would think her child had a right to a good education and healthcare. I'm pretty sure horrified was the world she used, as her comment rather horrified me. She also was in disbelief that the entire event wasn't wrapped in rage. Folk spent too much time talking about making things better for everyone.

I've lived in places in which I could get anywhere I needed (schools, grocery, work) with a 15-30 min walk and it was nice. I'd probably be priced out of housing in some of those areas now, which is too bad.

@npub1vyt…mgjn Well, the country usually laughs at Vancouver news reports of all the road accidents after a tiny dusting of snow...:)
But people don't know things they don't know, and if people aren't used to snow, they aren't used to driving in it.
Toronto drivers have become really bad winter drivers in general because we have a lot of immigrants from warmer climes and we don't get much snow any more, so many locals also lack experience & not enough change to winter tires.

Once lived in a building, we overlooked parked. A car kept spinning its tires after a heavy snowfall. A tenant, from Bermuda, got out of his car, cursing. My fellow went out and taught him to not spin his tires and how to roll out of being stuck. :) He became a better winter driver, but I don't think he ever liked snow. 🙂

@npub1typ…c8hh Not unpredictable at all. They build dams. If there are culverts and ditches, they will dam those, too.
It's making city folk understand them that will be the biggest hurdle.
Here, after some back and forth, they actually lugged in a backhoe to tear apart the part of the actual dam they could access. They had to make a temporary road to do so. It did keep the beaver busy for a while. Undeterred, they rebuilt, then went back to damming up the overflow pond, downstream of the dam.

@npub1typ…c8hh Beavers in urban areas will be a challenge. City workers will need training on how do deal with them. There is a park nearby that has beaver. They turned a trickle of water into a waterway, which protected the park during droughts. But they are industrious critters who, when their damns are in fine order, will then block ditches and culverts important to drain water during times of rain and snow melt. There was a long battle between beaver and city workers.
