Probably like 40-50 my rommate has a weird fascination with them. At some point they brought home a box if like 40 of the cheap ones. I assume it was part if some art thing they planed then never bothered with. Now they are all over the apartment.
Whould they even go to real prison? The rich typically seem to hire private security firms to make their home a "prison". They are under house arrest, but when home is a luxury mansion it's not justice.
Same. Quit FB a few years ago. Never bothered with Instagram, or Twitter or really anything with my real identity.
However I used FB for nearly 15 years. I got a new job so I wanted to clean as much public facing data as I could, including all the "intrest" FB had decided I had. I'm not sure if its the same now but Facebook used to just keep a list of stuff you where "interested" in based on your browsing history (even outside of FB). Often it was inaccurate. I think ads or somthing whould hijack the algorithm to add whatever they wanted, youd have to clear it out every once and awhile.
After doing this my feed started showing me hate groups, alt right nonsense and images of child abuse material. I realized this meant, that in cases where Facebook had no listed intrest for somebody, this is the ads that it whould use, this was the core of what Facebook was. I nuked the account and never looked back. Honestly, great decision and I've never once regretted it.
Being from Kitchener/waterloo I see there's definetly a student housing issue and it affects the area badly. But also see the proposed solution as blunt and likley ineffective.
With 2 universities and a college that area has it pretty rough with housing. I had to move into my dad's basement for a few years despite having a good job. I could afford a place but there was no where else to actually live.
Many homes close to the college apprently had 10 people living per room, you see places with like cars filling the parking lot and the lawns. The fire department whould demand evictions but that usually never takes.
The universities have a lot of huge condos and student housing near them but it seems every year we'd get news of one of the buildings not being done on time and hubdreds of student's ending up having to live out of hotels. This also stresses the transit system and a lot of services. Then waterloo becomes a ghost town in the off seasons.
Of course for non students the cities become a mess of temporary rentals, and explotive landlords. There's also the massive street parties that whould drain the police force budget.
Now in cases like this I'm not suggesting less student visas but schools need to coordinate with the cities to ensure there is enough housing in the area for the number of students they intend to intake. Though I'm not really sure how to make that fair as KW seemed to favour one school over the others. Keeping this coordination free if blatant corruption is going to take effort and require the setting of some standards potentially on a national level.
Fortunately, there's been solutions other to this. Remote learning, when available, reduces the stains a lot and is becoming a popular option. It's cheaper for rhe schools and the learners.
I also know schools have been decentalizing with campus spreading out across the city instead if just having one massive campus. Though this can make things more difficult for staff and learner, often needing a private transit setup. The benefit is that it spreads the housing needs a little and reduces strain on the public transit systems.
However, I still think the best option may be to limit the number of housing dependant students eatch school can take regardless of a visa.
Thank you namecheap looks like the best choice for me so far. I'm also looking at a local one called host papa. I may need to export my email history and figure out exactly what my needs are in terms of space. Proton might be a good option there as well if I can keep it at 1GB.
I pretty much only have my domain for my email adress. It's also a back up plan should my career take another nose dive and I need a portfolio. Gsuite was good for all that.
I'm not quite in the loop with best options for that kinda thing. And I been using the email for contract work for over a decade now. So I don't want to give that up. Would cloudflare be good for that as well?
That whould definitely alter my speculations. Assuming we actually hear about anything said during this closed session.
Of course he could walk into the closed meeting room emit a loud 23 second fart, then leave without a word. If the public isn't privvy to what happens in that meeting he can claim to have said whatever he wants and never get disproven.
I have a few interpretations if this based on my limited understanding if it.
I think the oversite committee has to hear him out. Ignoring a complaint from multiple members of military about potential misappropriation of funding would be egregious on their part. So they are listening to everything and trying to be professional about it.
Now the cynic in me believes this is actually a genius way to push pulp. If this guy writes a book (assuming he hasn't already) he's just given himself enormous credibility and advertising at little to no cost. Loud enough to be heard but vague enough that he can't be disproven or take on any accountability.
But the conspiracy theorist in me just sees this as an attempt to discredit and humiliate this and other sub committee's. Ammo that can be used to try and shut it down or prevent them from more serious work.
Though I'm a Candain and only getting bits and pieces of this story so I'm probably way off base here.

So who replaces him then? A more obedient puppet?
