People have moved where food is and war is not. Leaving the community you grew up in to live in a tiny rental home while your kid dodges junkies' used needles in the playground just so you cam afford to take a vacation in Aruba is a un

Then they can't afford to live in SV, and they are probably better off financially living close to their family and where they grew up.

How's it fair to uproot people from their communities, and their other children, at the twilight of their life to fulfill the material greediness of your kids?

I find myself being that George all the time. Once I apparently convinced a friend of a friend of a friend (ie a stranger) to make another baby. I only know this because when I saw these people two years later they had an extra kid in tow

If we had a magic wand to make them disappear, Id wave it. And as more countries get it, 10 and counting, we're guaranteed to have an exchange at some point. The exchange will at best break the taboo on using nuclear weapons. Or it cou

"Heck just give Canadians a 0% interest, 0 down mortgage for building a 500k home and residing in it for at least 10 years in say Regina." No one would take it because you'd be in Regina. And the West "cant build cities&

There's nothing there. Canada has one road linking every city together (well, except TO). Imagine Iowa, but emptier.

Canada has a housing crisis because no one is stupid enough to arrive to Canada and move to Thunder Bay (sorry TB, but you know its true). As a result all these people go live in one of three or four cities. The situation is more akin to th

You said it, they're kids! If you can't man up and drink something gross without grimacing, or have the self control to play the most frustrating game in history, you don't have the self-mastery to be near the lever of power.

You have energy. Its not obvious BrandoElFillito will. Come April, he might want to swap. Western leaders are already kissing ME tyrants' butts. One cold winter, and Habeck will look to cuddle with your Mullahs for warmth.

Saying "rad" are bad units for sin is like saying e is a bad base for logarithms. The only "bad" thing about rads is that they're not taught early enough so that culturally 45 degrees are not know as pi/4. Then

Naval shells have much lower surface to mass ratios. In the limit that that ratio goes to zero the fluid forces disappear and you're left with simple parabolic motion + rotation of the Earth. The fluid flow is the hard one!

"Obvious assumption" "Of course it is" "Of course it is" is not science. It might pass muster in CS, but in engineering with heavy objects "of course it <>" is the mother of all f-ups.

One car per family is doable, even in the US. We did it for a while and then got ourselves a Golf. Even after we moved to the suburbs, and the Golf was in the shop (deer) for a month (supply chain), it wasnt so bad. The secret? My other car
