Reminds me of the people against residential bike lanes quoted as saying that it would require them to pay attention backing out of their driveway lest they hit someone They weren't paying attention before?

Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown – while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national interest.

On Boston marriage, 1894

BOSTON MARRIAGE

What the Scarcity of Men in Massachusetts Has Brought About

The funniest of all social developments is that which goes under the head of Boston marriages. Two women, as well known as Susan Channing and Edna D. Cheney, have made separate appeals for this new departure of female habit, and have defended it with considerable success.

A Boston marriage is described to be a sympathetic union of two women, who have not been able to make good and agreeable matches with members of the opposite sex. Miss Cheney is of the opinion that in our present state of civilization they seem to be necessary and should not be interfered with. Miss

--The Evening Herald, 21 Feb 1894

Channing also believes that since in our present state of civilization marriage like wealth is getting to be more and more the privilege of the few, the women unsought in wedlock or unable to get the men of their choice should have the right to form sympathetic unions with each other.

What is to hinder a Boston couple from adopting a child or even more than one? Why not grow a household in this manner? The meanest thing about old-maid life is that it takes to cats, or parrots, or poodles -- generally cats. I see no reason why a cat shall not have a share of sympathy but it has no claim upon a love it cannot appreciate. Besides, cat-love is a dreadful

apology for baby-love. By all means let our Bostonese adopt children. In this way, while there is no increase of children, there will be a decrease of homeless children.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

A Packard Bell running a Cyrix 486/33 clone and 4MB of RAM. Dad got it at a furniture store. We later upgraded it with a multimedia kit - Soundblaster, CD-ROM drive, speakers, and a VHS tape that walked you through the installation process.

The pain of being an elder Millennial. I learned to type on a typewriter. I know I don't need 2 spaces after every sentence. I don't want to put 2 spaces after every sentence. But it's muscle memory. So now instead of 1 space or 2 spaces, I type 2 spaces and a backspace after every sentence.

So here's a weird one. This year Manitoba will stop using Daylight Savings. But Ontario (including northwestern Ontario which has traditionally followed Central time) didn't. So on November 1, northwestern Ontario will turn its clocks back and be on the same time zone as AB/SK, but not Manitoba.

Ontario's police governance is custom-built to obscure oversight and accountability, perhaps the single example of our institutions functioning precisely as they're intended, indeed at a very high level.

I don't believe this. Not that the ads don't exist but that this was all a misunderstanding on the company card. Somebody is pumping a lot of money into ads for this channel and building a fictitious back story for them.
