It’s easy once you realize that it’s talking about the river – the water flows from uphill to downhill. Quebec is downhill of Ontario.

No problem. We will solve our housing crisis by building everything out of concrete then – an even higher emitter.

Yeah, CIBC is pestering me too. “Lock in early and get a special rate!”. Aka, I still have two probable quarter points before renewal…

Galicia but biggerer.

It’s only a country in the vaguist sense. It’s a historical artifact. Charlemagne’s last gasp. It’s beyond funny that they have a vote in the UN, despite being effectively a tax haven and ski resort.

It’s such a bizarre thing that Macron is a prince there.

That’s a mean thing to say about Iberia

I don’t think this will be operating at the peak. But, as the martian helicopter has shown, low air density is just an engineering problem :)

One time, many moons ago, when I was a young a naive student: I dared to counter protest a student union led protest that I disagreed with. I was polite, non-distuptive, and some distance away from the group.

I got reported to campus security for irrational behaviour by someone, which then caused them to go digging. I had been writing editorials for the campus newspaper and they were in the newspaper offices trying to dig up dirt (my editor let me know).

I have no idea whether there is such as thing as due process and such when dealing with campus security (they aren’t really police), but at the time I felt violated. I was expressing a political opinion in the most democratic way I could, and someone gunned for me in response. I don’t blame security for doing their job, I blame whomever maliciously contrived a report to make them act.

That said, this story is clearly written slanted towards the ACAB angle. I think more digging is required by the journalist here. What was the actual perceived threat.

(And yes, ecoterrorism is a thing, so perhaps there were concerns, real or imagined.)

All those professionals competing in amateur Olympics really messes with the concept though, eh?

Furthermore, many countries reward medalists with a small bonus. In Canada, for example, you get something like $10-20k ($CAD) per medal. Not a lot, but you can probably cover a month or two of expenses. Being an athlete isn’t cheap.

Ironically, pineapple on pizza is a Canadian thing. Even the name “Hawaiian” pizza originates from Canada.

In conclusion: pizza hut was good in (insert decade when you were younger)

It’s actually only one bun. His name is Norbert. And he teleports into your field of view when he is observed. Quantum bun.

Shit :(
