A 'go bag' containing enough food to survive months would be rather unwieldy to carry around. Hopefully it survives the initial earthquake in an accessible location so permit bugging out. However, its not much use if the house h

I'd argue that rents will fall as large volumes of "investment" housing starts to hit the market. The end of a decade (almost 2, actually) of quantitative easing and and resulting increase in interest rates is the death knel

Galactically-feared aliens arrive on Earth and come up with a diabolical plan to force us to work 4 hours a day, three days a week with full medical, dental, and prescription coverage along with 60 days of vacation per year. The rest of the

Hydroponic growers are intimately aware of the need and benefits accruing from elevated CO2. You'd be hard pressed to find a greenhouse vegetable farm without a huge CO2 tank outside, as well as the technology used inside the scrub ca

I have no idea why your comment was flagged. It's really not that sensitive of a topic in North America!

While I certainly don't disagree that many sites need selenium these days, I find it's often possible to go straight to the AJAX/xHR source and get a pre-parsed JSON with all the data you're looking for.

As a dad of three kids, you're right that only the female is literally pregnant, but its generally used to highlight the commitment both parents are making to the child. Further, it's recognizing that pregnancy is not a singular

Not at all. Individually they are important discussions to have. The problem is that the thesis here is that "all companies spy on you regardless of how much you pay for their product" when the headline is about Vizio. Perhaps I&#

Is it that difficult to build an open source Visio firmware that strips all the ads and has it operating like consumers want? Seems fair play if they're already ignoring open source licenses in the first place. I'd look into it bu

It's like having a big family dinner with your crazy uncle Bob who spends the entire meal working themselves up into an angry froth spouting a vast assortment of conspiracy theories. It's possible that there is some nugget of valu

The only term that immediately comes to mind is premature optimisation. Yes, there's an argument for minimizing the amount of redesign but I've found that by the time that's necessary I've discovered a dozen new ways of

I knew I was taking an amphetamine derivative but I had no idea my ADHD prescription was literally the same as meth. of course, I'm taking a tiny daily amount. No wonder they give me such a hassle about filling my script when I'

The first two paragraphs reiterate that the early web was very much a reflection of the hypertext transfer protocol and hypertext markup language in that it literally just handled text pages with links in them. and it did it pretty well.

I agree wholeheartedly. Without the support of a dozen offspring helping out with 'chores' around the farm the lack of labour is a real constraint in rural areas. I absolutely agree that a 28hp motor is simply too small to be help

As someone who has worked in agriculture their entire life, there is nothing cheap about farming equipment. Every year it gets more and more prohibitively expensive and experiences more and more vendor lock-in. While this solution appears

I love the free availability of landsat but I would have loved if they increased the resolution of LS9 from 30m to even something like 5 or even 10. A quarter acre is great but there are many questions on land use that could more easily be

Never tried Scoop. I've used Ninite for years and appreciate it's limited scope and app availability. I love chocolatey as well but I have struggled with it in the past, especially with some more esoteric apps.

Just the people in Alberta. No one anywhere else really notices or cares about the CBC. I've always appreciated having a national news source, personally. I think it's fairly high quality and reasonably unbiased compared to som

I also used system for a number of activities that are unavailable in Linux and rely on WSL to give me a reasonable facsimile to a nix box. I loved the new WSL2 upgrades but rolled back because I simply couldn't do the rest of my work

Every time I read the Global Times I find myself wondering "how does a propaganda paper for a country with 1.4 billion people still not know how to write things that don't sound like blantant propaganda?" You'd think, wi

I don't disagree, per se, but how many Linux servers are out there running outdated software on a system that hasn't been patched in years because it's working and stops working when updated? I love docker because I can treat

Moreover, I'd argue that containers are responsible for an explosion of open source activity. In the span of half an hour I can spin up a half dozen different open source approaches to a problem and check out their implementations to
