It's kinda natural to me having used Perl a lot.
Yeah, which is why I added the note about cleaning power per unit volume. But it'd have to be a fair bit more powerful to make the effort worth it, I think.
We use maybe 50ml of Tide (so that'd be probably 100 loads) when doing our laundry, so if that's equivalent to like one tablespoon of the Borax mix, I could see it saving me $20 or so overall, if it's three times stronger.
So it'd come down to how much time I spend shopping and combining the mixture vs just buying it.
Mind, that's just the borax. Bar soap and baking soda are cheap but not free.
(edit: and before someone jumps on me about "baking soda", I was thinking of it in terms of decomposing it into carbonate in the oven. I haven't priced out washing soda)
Yeah. It's a natural monopoly and should be nationalized into Crown corporations. This would allow the natural monopoly to be kept as minimal as possible and prevent it being used to leverage into other markets.
If BC Tel owned all the cellphone towers and fibre lines, we wouldn't have all these bullshit shenanigans with locking 3rd-party providers out of the market - they'd ALL be third-party providers.
I work for a Canadian university library and I assure you that data archival efforts are proceeding apace. I can't really say more without possibly endangering American colleagues.
They could add a bid price, so that you automatically buy at a certain price level. Sure, you could bid 0.10, but they'd probably never actually take it. And that way, they could know how much money is laying on the table. If there's a thousand bids for $50, that gives them a pricing signal.
Eventually we'll reach diminishing returns on co2 emissions and start needing to remove it actively. This research will come in handy then.
I'd bet transporters would need constant monitoring and maintenance. They screw up often enough. Not sure I'd ever step into one of those deathtraps, even if you ignore the whole inherent murder problem.
bald eagle weight: 3 – 6.3kg. so you are actually right in the ballpark. Nicely done.
The people who will be old in 2043 are middle aged now. Sure as fuck we didn't get those things...
If I were running a server, and I saw one of my users behaving poorly elsewhere, I would absolutely consider their behaviour fair game for a ban. It would depend on the behaviour. Someone posting on a porn forum somewhere, meh. Someone posting about how [ethnicity] should all die in a fire, welllll, yeah, I don't want that person. Find somewhere else to be.
Let's start with Schengen zone membership and see how we feel after that. The currency would be a hard sell.
