I’d be interested in doing so. What’s the average number of comments and good/crap ratio currently?

Gagan Nahal, Navinder Gill’s lawyer, said his client understands he made a mistake.

Ah, a mistake. Yes, those accidental murders are certainly troublesome aren’t they.

Last December, the backlog for the regulator (dealing with cases/complains against Air Canada and other airlines) was 18+ months. It likely has only been since then.

They treat people like cattle because they can generally do so without significant consequences.

As somebody who has literally been injured with a cardboard tube to the eye (being used as a sword though sans crossguard/handle): just make sure the kids are using swinging motions rather than poking (or are very aware to stay below neck level)

Those might be ok here in summer, but the snow (and shitty city management) plus hills would not work out well in the winter.

I could see this for ice but I’m thinking more snow and slush, which where can be near bumper-height on cars (not to mention the double-digit degrees below freezing for temperatures).

It’s one of those things where it’s probably a good idea for bigger cities with nicer weather (or better maintenance of dedicated bike lanes), but in smaller centres a better investment in public transit would make more sense

Yeah, I’d agree with that. Road clearing in general is pretty bad here, let alone sidewalks and bike lanes (especially since the “clearing” often involves pushing it off to the side and blocking up those lanes).

I found it cool how some countries had sweepers which collect the snow and cart it off rather than just pushing it around

I prefer against sharing my specific location but western Canada in an area where there can literally be a 60-70°c+ difference between peak winter and summer conditions.

You can also use a file instead of a device if you want to write your image to/from a file

Writing a compressed image at the destination

nc -l 11111 | gzip > /path/to/backup.img.gz

Reading a compressed image at the source and sending uncompressed data over the network (can be cloned directly over drive at the destination, within the original constraints). Please note this will not show a progress status at the source:

zcat /path/to/backup.img.gz | nc 192.168.1.2 11111

Or you could just send the compressed-image data over the network and decompress at the destination (as per the second example}:

dd if=/path/to/backup.img.gz status=progress bs=1M | nc 192.168.1.2 11111

This feels like a crappy situation to be in. Governments up the chain have obviously dropped the ball if we’re bringing in refugees without actually having solid plans to support them, sponsors etc.

Meanwhile increasing amounts of citizens are suffering from homelessness due to the housing crisis.

If they think that “denying refugees” is going to spur racism and xenophobia, what exactly do they think will happen when citizens are turned away because the shelters are full of refugees the governments didn’t adequately plan for?
