@npub1utv…87lr @film_girl@threads.net It does not seem to work (yet).
I did double check, and my instance does not restrict Threads.

@npub1e4s…35mt Two questions:
- Are they for real?
- Is this even legal outside Québec?

Rocket will be sorrowly missed. It gave me a different perspective on events, even if I sometimes did not agree with your takes.
Best of luck in all your future challenges!

@npub1utv…87lr did you wake up to a snowstorm by any chance?
(This is 30 or so centimetres of snow in Montréal today)

The #STM in #Montréal is recolouring some of their bus lines. The higher frequency lines will now be in purple.
I do not know if there are any service changes. I did notice that some of the former 10 min max lines are not included (e.g. 211).

La #STM à #Montréal est en train de recolorier certains circuits d’autobus. Les lignes à haute fréquence seront maintenant en mauve.
J’ignore si le service a été amélioré. À première vue, non.

@npub1hvd…9sq9 I’ll have a look at mine.
I was expecting more of a hardware distinction (e.g.: it came with such and such remote).

@npub1k7c…duns I know!
We could even say we blew it twice, because the station used to have a better entrance. The picture I’m attaching is from 2012.

@npub1k7c…duns It isn't new... I just looked up on the Internet Archive, and that page has existed since 2019 at least... https://web.archive.org/web/20191122052516/https://weather.gc.ca/firework/

@npub1k7c…duns @npub1akj…wa53 I'm not disputing that part at all.
That said, I did the math with the AQHI formula on the PM2.5 component only, and it would bring us to an index of 6-12 should the FireSmoke.ca forecast be true.
The formula is equation 4 on page 8: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.3155/1047-3289.58.3.435?needAccess=true&role=button

@npub1k7c…duns @npub1akj…wa53 Firesmoke.ca has an important disclaimer.
Also, they do mention in their FAQ that they don’t take into account full air quality, only PM2.5.
If I recall correctly, Air Quality Warnings start to be issued when the AQHI reaches 6 or 7. I can’t find info on that.
We will see tomorrow morning around 6a, when the next forecast is due.

@npub1gfd…7gg6 That sucks.
Taking it as a learning experience, that’s why I now have it in Git. It makes dispersing copies such much easier 😄

On a scale from 1 to 10, #AirQuality in #Montreal has hit an 11.
Even the metro/subway is hazy, and it’s indoors.
