Holy shit, that really underlines it. So like a full city block. Down.

I just removed them and plan to play innocent if asked. It's been 20 years. Unlikely they have pics.

Stamping down a grid over a hilly landscape makes for a shitty walking or biking experience. >:/

Down 5% today, not super stable. Could have been a dead cat bounce last week.

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.

Fibre optic glass is much more transparent than air, as I understand it. A laser can have much lower power and reach farther through a cable. The cable 'bounces' the signal through optical refraction, so it doesn't need to be aimed precisely.

Sneezing is not normal. I never sneeze.

That talking point died decades ago. We have a clear path to reducing our population. Well-off people with access to contraceptives don't have high birth rates. We can roll back the human birth rate to sub-replacement levels and over time, reduce it.

There will be a problem with increasing population in 2250 or so, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

The moral thing to do is to ensure that all humans have access to clean water and food, contraceptives, and comfortable lives. The population will naturally go down and we can stabilize it over time.

The existence of a bad thing doesn't make this any less a good thing.

bald eagle weight: 3 – 6.3kg. so you are actually right in the ballpark. Nicely done.

Colourful metaphor but accurate. Try to do things The Debian Way first and you'll rarely get into trouble. Start screwing with existing packages and you break assumptions fast.

"fair and reasonable terms", yes, FART is the way to go.
