I believe they lacked the metallurgy to make high pressure steam vessels.

Super

In BC it depends on your status. Asylum seekers can apply after a waiting period. Tourists should get a private insurance plan, or you’ll have to pay for it at whatever the BC Medical rates are, which should be pretty reasonable compared to US rates. Permanent Residents would probably already be covered.

Redhat 1997. Slackware, Storm Linux, then Debian 2001 to present. A brief year on the OSS Solaris release.

We had taglines and bbs signatures. Those were pretty similar.

I would say no* but the asterisk has a few paragraphs involving funding sustainability, cryptobro involvement, and dubious decentralization.

I use it all the time. If you need a right angle, 3-4-5 gives you one, and that’s Pythag, baybeee.

Amen. I’ve been making a good buck selling calls on TSLA this last week.

There is often very limited table space and stacking the dishes can be more about making room than server convenience.

That said, obviously don’t be dumb about it. Stack dishes properly and maybe stick the utensils in a cup so they aren’t at risk of falling during transport.

I get the need for them, to pay for shared building services. Strata fees pay for exercise rooms, pools, grounds maintenance, whatever. I 100% am behind them, as long as the Strata council is responsive to needs and not corrupted, but there’s the rub.

I’d generally be happier with few services and low strata fees tho.

Yeah. I’m pretty much resigned to living in our rental until we get renovicted. No kids, double income, a lot of savings… but the mortgage payments would be way more than it’s worth to have a minor upgrade. Strata payments alone are often more than our rent!

Not Vancouver. Nothing that size would go less than 2 million until you hit Coquitlam. MAYBE.

Im assuming you’ve looped in @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca?

I’ve found that changing my email address works better than unsubscribe sometimes. Just change it to a tagged address and set up a filter. Shields you against future sales as well.

All the Trump emails go rbos+fucktrump now. Probably a hundred a day. Unsubscribe did not work.

Also, Canadian. Incompetent jerks.

Yeah, that’s about what the Broadway tunnel is going to cost for the Skytrain extension in Vancouver.

Edit: Though of course an urban tunnel cut down an extremely busy street is worst-case scenario. That money would probably buy you a lot more rail elsewhere.

The Broadway corridor has possibly the busiest transit line in North America and the per-passenger cost will be quite low, when it’s finished.

Then SpaceX is forced to adhere to political considerations and budget priorities. NASA oversight and intensely risk averse culture would not have allowed spacex to build a rocket factory, or risk throwing away prototypes for rapid iteration.

They have good flights but they do make a lot of noise at the waterfront. The smell of avgas is overwhelming, too. Nothing against them, it’s unavoidable, but I’m looking forward to their electric Beaver plane.

Air North is pretty good so far, but no frills and I don’t know if they do long hauls.

Lmgtfy ‘anchoring bias’

A while ago (late 90s?) they straightened the border and reevaluated land along the 49th parallel. Some towns switched countries.

Such a stupid border decision. They should have fixed it in the territory swaps a few years ago.
