>but I still have the same amount of money and no way to get it out other than selling the house. Then you sell the house and move somewhere cheaper, as is normal in any place that doesn't let you externalize "I can't…
Section 1 is literally just "ignore everything below this section". If they're not absolute, they're not rights. It's a feel-good document that protects jack shit.
Well, not really. Methane is basically just hydrogen gas, but with one carbon for every 4 hydrogens. This means you can do stuff like liquefy it at higher temperatures and lower pressures, and it doesn't diffuse out of…

Smaller node size means less voltage. Power is heat, and the amount dissipated is the square of the voltage- a processor that is reliable at less voltage means you can get a lot more frequency in the same heat envelope.…

The high performing economies that didn't make it illegal to build are high performing because of that. This is why the highest standard of living on the planet, with the highest GDP over the largest population... is in…
Perhaps, but remember that people have taken cues from their most-used battery-powered device. In this case, their phone (or laptop). A degraded battery in these devices leads to things like random power-offs or…
Which is why "just build your own infrastructure" is never a good faith argument.
Your child is more at risk of being abducted by the State than some random stranger. That's why they don't go outside. You can teach them to run from the panel vans; teaching them to run from the police (who were called…
Sounds like you had a pretty lame childhood to me, and in the 30 years since it's only become worse. Much like panda bears in captivity, it is unusually difficult to give a human being a life that resembles what it…
>while cotton underpants will vary in fiber content So can old shirts, but those are bigger and harder to bury straight up and down. Yes, the data will be slightly noisier, but for that cost you get the benefit of…
Because cotton underwear is arguably the right answer: "Buy this item made out of this material, bury two of them in the ground" requires no further cutting or measuring, and most people would have to go to the store to…
>the broader country Not really, though. Despite what even a good chunk of Canadians (or yourself) might think, the country doesn't end at Toronto. If the government wasn't worried about the effects, they wouldn't be in…
>The Carney administration is on much firmer political ground I don't think so. Time really isn't on Carney's side either. Carney's new tariffs fall on those who, in aggregate, did not vote for him. The average Carney…
So long as the way to improve software is "just stack another VM on it", software will continue to get slower. Cutting edge development practice in 2025 was using a big JavaScript framework (not quite VMs, but they…
>Apparently the old way was to build in unauthorized locations and then pay the fines as part of the operating budget. Yes, that's called a "tax".
Just print more money and devalue the currency, which is how you currently budget anyway. That was the means by which relief funding was appropriated from the public in 2020, and it was a huge success. Most people don't…
>It feels like we do not have the money to begin to prepare and fix things that need fixing to continue the life we have. Oh, you have the money. You just don't want to spend it, for that would shift the balance of…

>Young people are barely living Yeah, I wonder what caused that? The most freedom they actually get is on the Internet, that's why they all hang out there.
We hope the social redistribution that would have to be there to help those that fail, and those employed to teach them, is less expensive than every citizen forced to sacrifice 8 years of prime life time and tens of…
Yes, and here "Canadians want" is used to say "the people within 100km of the St. Lawrence want". (That's actually part of the problem.) Claimed identity isn't a suicide pact and consent of the governed isn't equally…
