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.

Germany was the worldwide leader in science before the Nazis. We may see a shift to Europe or China if science is actively suppressed in the USA.

They needed a symbol to spray paint on their tanks to easily differentiate them. Z is simple and it's not a a Cyrillic letter.

They tag some of their military assets with 'Z' for battlefield identification

They'll still have to pay the tariff when crossing the border back to the USA, unless they want to risk smuggling it.

They wouldn't need to. Soft power would be sufficient to get them nearly everything they want, without risking boots on the ground.

The main risk to us, from a military perspective, is if the USA collapses federally and the states end up fighting amongst each other. The Midwest states will collapse into chaos and feudal fiefdoms, lacking access to trade opportunities (IMO) so border raids there will be the big risk. Actual military occupation might be a concern if the dice rolls the wrong way in the East - Toronto and Quebec are very vulnerable, and sitting on huge reserves of fresh water plus the St. Laurence seaway.

It would be a hell of a thing if Canada ended up with alliances with the southern slaveholding states.

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.

Age the second one 2000 years and look as good it will not.

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.

The cheaters and cheat developers will just move to Windows, and the legitimate Linux users will quit. I don't see the upside, this doesn't solve the problem.

Hey cottage cheese on toast is great, that's my breakfast most days. With pepper and nutritional yeast usually.

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.

0, -7, -14, -22... dangit

I'd expect a sudden inflation, with suddenly expanded after tax income chasing the same or reduced goods due to less imports.

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.
