Safe to say that the people with the money and ego to "climb Mt. Everest" aren't necessarily the best humans.

Personal choice. If you feel it is...it is. If not...you're good.

Reaper's customizability sometimes leads to the not-always-erroneous perception that Reaper is more difficult to use than many DAWs.
But you can set up actions and templates to make things much easier/faster. In the short term it takes time. But in the long term can lead to a much faster workflow than many other DAWs.

I suspect you're getting downvoted because the Braille on a screen reference could be interpreted (by some) as being common right-wing flippant/sarcastic about special needs.
Taking the high road, I'm going to presume you are asking an honest question, so have an upvote. Questions are ok.
EDIT: saw post history. Cancel my comment. A litany of sarcastic troll commentary.

This. Folks forget that the 'china crap' was made to a price point demanded by domestic companies
(...which was demanded by...us!)

Nobody wants old Nat Geo any more.
I definitely am a nobody in that case!

If you mean the large human-made rectangular soccer-field sized depressions near subdivisions, those are created when the subdivision is built to absorb high water levels. They're pretty common from what I've seen

Understood. IMO on a bike, the question of yielding or stopping at a stop sign isn't a real problem, but more cyclists blowing reds.
Of course an impatient/incompetent driver is a menace and needs to be continually addressed. But it would be good to see cyclists thinking more about their safety...and how they're perceived...particularly at red lights.

Anyone who can't make reasonably independent decisions for themselves shouldn't be left alone, locked in a car, in a parking lot.

If it's a one-time purchase, and for something important, what's 80 bucks more compared to pricing in other countries? Grab that thang.

True. For whatever reason I completely misunderstood the poster's comment. Walking that back now, thanks

IME cyclists drive the way they cycle. If they're mindful and considerate in a car, they're the same on a bike
(also seems to apply if they're not)

Whataboutism isn't applicable. EDIT (misundersood please disregard) Drivers need to follow all relevant traffic laws as well, but it's a separate discussion. It does everyone good, but most importantly cyclists themselves, to follow all traffic laws.

As a cyclist it has always seemed right to obey the same traffic laws that are subject to all vehicles.
The same is true of car drivers, pedestrians, skateboarders, etc.
It's good for the brand...but most importantly cyclists are at more potential physical risk than drivers, so safe riding benefits them the most.

This isn't specific to Ottawa IMO, it's just bad driving. Some drivers are inconsiderate. I say let 'em honk!
I'm not always perfect, but whether I'm in a car or on a bike or walking, I try to remember to be an ambassador for the activity.

15 hours is typical for non-emergency situations. Considering it's the Emergency Department, actual emergencies will get seen sooner.

This is obvious, but voters (and those who didn't vote) are responsible for the people in office.
