Yeah, at home they spent money on flashy rainbow pedestrian walkways - very pretty for some, while street pot holes swallow one's car whole, and pound front ends to ruin. Town Council Priorities.
Might try sending the repair bills to the town and see what they say, albeit one can't mention the sidewalks least one become excoriated for uttering a sidewalk vs. pot hole hate crime.

Here they passed a law that you can't do that anymore. Well, you can make a claim, but they changed the law in a way to make it almost impossible to win against them...
If a pothole has left your car damaged, you have options, but you’ll need to prove that the road maintenance authorities were negligent in doing their job. You cannot hold a municipality or the provincial government liable for material damage to your vehicle’s tires or suspension system due to road conditions. (which is almost always the only thing that brakes because of potholes)
That’s according to these laws:
- Roads managed and maintained by the Ministry of Transport of Quebec: Article 30, An Act Respecting Roads (CQLR chapter V-9)
- Municipality governed by the Municipal Code: Article 1127.2, Municipal Code of Québec, (CQLR chapter C-27.1)
- Municipality governed by the Cities and Towns Act: Article 604.1 of the Cities and Towns Act (CQLR chapter C-19)
i want to clarify my statement on possible global warming: i do NOT contest warming, should the data show this, i only maintain that ALL so-called green house gases CANNOT be responsible on the sole basis of physics. if you want to find reasons for warming, you MUST find other reasons and quantify their possible influence.
good point. but i am not fuming, i am rather desperate about our ignorance leading us to catastrophe and annihilation. some lessons are hard to learn..Well, @heinrich is already fuming. By the time humanity reaches the boiling point, he'll already have turned into plasma.
well, you are right. humanity will survive and a new cycle can start, for the next lessons...

A massive factory fire that began after several lithium batteries exploded has killed at least 22 people in South Korea.
The blaze broke out on Monday morning at the Aricell plant in Hwaseong city, about 45km (28 miles) south of the capital Seoul.
Local television footage showed large smoke clouds and small explosions going off as firefighters sought to put out the fire. A part of the roof had collapsed.
South Korea is a leading producer of lithium batteries, which are used in many items from electric vehicles to laptops.
Fire official Kim Jin-young said 18 Chinese, one Laotian and two South Korean workers had been confirmed as among the dead. A final body had yet to be identified, and there are fears at least one more person may be missing.
"Most of the bodies are badly burned so it will take some time to identify each one," Mr Kim said, according to news agency AFP.
A further eight people were injured - two seriously - out of the 100 who had been working when the fire broke out.
The Aricell factory housed an estimated 35,000 battery cells on its second floor, where the batteries were inspected and packaged, with more stored elsewhere.
Mr Kim said the fire began when a series of battery cells exploded, though it remains unclear what triggered the initial explosions.
He explained it was difficult to enter the site initially "due to fears of additional explosions".
It is not yet clear what started the blaze. Lithium batteries are at risk of exploding if they are damaged or overheated.
Whatever the cause, once the fire took hold, it would have spread at speed - giving the workers little time to escape, according to Kim Jae-ho, fire and disaster prevention professor at Daejeon University.
"Battery materials such as nickel are easily flammable," he told Reuters news agency. "So often, there is not enough time to respond, compared to a fire caused by other materials."
As a lithium fire can react intensely with water, firefighters had to use dry sand to extinguish the blaze, which took several hours to get under control.
However, there is still a risk that after the fire is extinguished, it could reignite without warning due to the chemical reaction.

Simply a nightmare for firefighters.
Back to carbon and the business model of sequestering, the below is all about 'Wood Vaults' to help lock away carbon for another day. What they are smoking must be something else - what planet, pray tell?
That said, California is lining up, possibly Canada might come on stream, and elsewhere. Simply put, who cares if these things are dead wrong, there is money to be made out of the carbon credit business, they bank on it.
Here is their kindergarten sketch with a little cow on top (a cow that produces carbon they forgot to say - looks pretty though):

German state media develops VR game in which players shoot lasers at flying climate denialists!! 
I swear that what follows is true and that I am not making it up.
Climatists at the German state media broadcaster Südwestrundfunk (SWR) have used the mandatory license fees they collect from all German households to produce an astounding virtual reality video game called GreenGuardiansVR. In this game, players shoot lasers at flying climate denialists to defeat disinformation and save the planet (h/t RatSays). This is literally true, this thing really exists. It will be released to the public sometime in the autumn; the Steam page is here. In the meantime, they’ve set up a whole stand to debut this lunacy at Gamescom, the Cologne video game trade fair.

The thing with renewable energy and stuff...
So, Stockholm got another of their woke ticks a couple years ago, setting out all these special trash cans around the city, powered by solar cells at the top.
Now, let's go fast forward in the movie....and have a look how those look like; in this case located at Gullmarsplan plaza where I work or have my breaks. The cans are littered with pigeon sh*t - and not a single time in those 1.5 years have I ever seen those having being cleaned. I can not imagine that any sunshine ever will power those (expensive) TRASHcans properly... Plus that this one is most often located in the shadows... *uhm*
In essence - i just wanted to show you guyz, the difference between "visions" shouted from the roof tops by politicians and wannabee fans - and what reality looks like - literally - at ground level.
Cute, isn't it ? Welcome to Stockholm city...
Remember the story about the solar trashcan 2022 ?
which still can be found at many places in Stockholm. Now the one i had mentioned back in 2022, got replaced by a new one later in 2023/24 - also with solar cells - as well one that never got cleaned up on top - in combination with a dark location without any direct sunlight... Oh Man, ain't that a "winning combination", yes, no ?
Well: Two days ago, i realized that the city replaced the trash can once again... with....
*fanfare*
Ta-Daaaaaan old, classic, manual, analog trash can version

I wonder if it's the same clerc that figured out how stupid it was, or if someone else came in and put a stop to it...
Speaking of trash cans, I got a good one too in Quebec City, more precisely near Ste-Foy Public Market. The whole place has been renovated and they installed commercial trash containers outdoors, to be picked up by specialized trucks. Except this time, they played it fancy by creating a new design, which I can't find any pictures of, unfortunately (Google map isn't up to date).
So, those containers are round and made of plastic. They need a special trash truck designed especially for those uniquely designed bins... They need to be picked up with a hook from the top. Once it lifts, the container spins and sways out of control, so it needs 3 workers (1 in the truck, 2 outside holding the can to prevent it from spinning) and it takes 10 min per can...
The government clerks clearly surpassed themselves in the "most stupid concept" this time. But they always find a way to outdo each other every year.
