I can just imagine how Canadian beavers would react to something like that….

They’d probably take down the enclosure and re-use the materials to help them reinforce a new dam.

It wasn’t just the indigenous people who were robbed, either.

The main issue is that Europeans had a very different concept of land ownership and land management; in the European view, land was a thing to be conquered, subdued, and divided up for exploitation by those who successfully did so.

The indigenous perspective, for the most part (different peoples had varying views on this), was that the land was something of which people were a part, and needed to be kept in balance.

When Europeans hear “unceeded”, they hear “land they never intentionally sold”. When indigenous people hear “unceeded”, they hear “land we never collectively agreed would be used in this way.”

Plus or minus?

Seems to me that if the Federal government told them where they must live, that government has a responsibility to provide safe drinking water. For nations that are self governed and are able to move around on their traditional lands, I’d argue that it’s up to them to find safe drinking water.

Treaty status and details should also be taken into consideration.

Why not?

Because what happens when your referent changes? Which direction is Mars from Earth? We obviously need a single navigational system that works anywhere in the universe.

Why? If they were already using Signal, they weren’t about to stop using it when it dropped SMS. If they weren’t using it… any encryption was window dressing anyway.

The passing and scrum rules also change the game. There’s less chance for an unexpected and dangerous hit in rugby. More shove, less hard contact.

US football dispensed with most of the rules of international rugby years ago. Gridiron would make sense though.

What they found though was that people were just using it for SMS, not realizing that this meant it was insecure. People kept choosing convenience over security. Removing that support was well messaged almost a year before it was done; that’s the slowest rug pull I’ve ever seen.

Locking it to phone numbers? THAT was an untrustworthy move. But removing SMS meant that people could no longer pretend to be secure when they really weren’t.

If he wasn’t slamming it, I’d be concerned for his health.

Why would Signal removing support for an insecure messaging platform make you trust them a lot less? They were pretty clear about why it was done and gave plenty of warning.

Hon Chan, B.C. Conservative MLA for Richmond Centre, expressed concerns about the broad definition of reckless driving.

According to the bill, reckless driving could include late left turns in some cases, driving too closely behind another driver on the highway and driving behaviour that intentionally prevents another driver from passing.

I see the concern. Unsafe driving of those types is extremely common in Richmond. Those are driving decisions fully under the driver’s control, and illegal. If someone is intentionally doing something illegal under a government issued license, a temporary suspension while being investigated sounds entirely reasonable to me.

However, I can also see how easily it could be weaponized by an officer. Seems to me the suspension should be handled just like a speeding ticket — still disputable in court.

“I think a bit of Canada, too.”

Thing is, Alberta is Texas Lite, and BC wouldn’t want to be lumped in with California. Canada has a different view of Nation overall than the US. Our identity would be swallowed up by joining a confederation of states that don’t really even understand what we are, let alone care.

That’s a load of generalizations, but I can’t really imagine the majority of BC being happy even with Cascadia at this point… most of the province would find it too liberal and anti-socialist, and the cities would find it too conservative.

And that’s of course ignoring the fact that most of BC still has no treaties, so the First Nations would want to have a say in how this went down, and aren’t likely going to want to give up their land.

It’s currently PA; the abbreviation will be one of the first changes.

90 cents per charge? And no cable that you discover after you’ve pulled up to the charger is broken?

Seems like this will pay for itself in short order at fast charging stations.

Here’s a question: how many people making more than $200,000/year or who are independently wealthy actually serve on a jury?

I ask this because every jury pool I’ve been in was made up of working class people. Those too poor don’t vote and so aren’t on their lists, and those too rich always seem to have acceptable reasons to be excused, if they’re ever pooled in the first place.

And, of course, there’s inflation. The value of something is a perceived thing, but the actual dollar value attached to that perceived value always tends to increase, except when an economy collapses. Inflation is caused by a government pretending things have more value than they actually do and pocketing the difference.

Hardware isn’t designed for it, from CPU ramping to flash read/write leveling, to pretty much everything else.

You can do it, but if you can afford to spend $150 on a minipc, you’ll get something significantly better for server purposes than a $200 phone.

Reminds me of The Life of Brian….
