Indeed they are, which is what makes this all the more silly.

But they weren’t always….

I notice it rejects them instead of denying them….

It’s genocides back thousands of years.

Meanwhile, the regular people living in the region just want to be left to live their lives.

That took me a few parsings. At first I thought they meant a researcher had continued working around the glacier for 66 years, unaware that the world had moved on.

But the BC Supreme Court isn’t wrong in their ruling.

And the thing being discussed here is aboriginal title rights and water use rights. They haven’t been granted ownership of the property, which currently belongs to others, who have purchased it from a chain of people who were originally granted ownership by a colony that didn’t own it.

They added it because Ruffles has always had an “all dressed” flavour in Canada.

In my area, a “starter home” that would have been listed at $860,000 a year ago just sold for $770,000.

This minor correction seems to be happening in a lot of places. But realistically, this correction needs to keep on happening for a few years before housing begins to line up with employment income again.

Hang in there, Europe!

Is there any reasonable and feasible way to directly make the landscape less flammable?

Yes, there is. Fire breaks can be created ahead of time in the most at-risk areas. And this is work that crews can do who will later be on strike teams, whereas if they have to do it while they’re already deployed… fewer feet on the ground.

Unfortunately, companies are being bombarded with AI- generated CVs at a massive scale, and so have turned to AI filters to filter out all the slop. This has resulted in filtering out a lot of qualified people as well. But in an employer’s market, that doesn’t really matter to them.

Once you get past the filter, everything is mostly business as usual; many hiring managers are probably even unaware that their HR department uses AI filters.

Which Vancouver was she at? If this is US border patrol, in uniform, in Canada, asking questions about whether you joke about US politics… that’s no better than the Chinese police stations. Does the government know US border patrol is interrogating people on Canadian soil?

I’m insulted they thought I didn’t know what a LUHN check is.

Of course, my current credit cards don’t even have a magnetic stripe, so the original purpose for the check digits is history. Still useful for other situations where the number might get garbled though.

The other thing useful about credit cards is that the first set of digits refer to the issuer, not your account. Once you strip off the issuer code and the check digit, there’s much less that’s unique to your card.
