Uh, because there aren't any significant ones there? One of the things about MAD and the game theory behind all the various treaties is that the location of the major weapons systems are known, with the exception of the submarine forces. The minuteman silos are all in the continental US, and yes, the great circle route to get to North Korea goes over Russia.

The real question is why they wouldn't have used submarine based missiles.

It actually is.

The screen doesn't need injection mold tooling made up, doesn't require stocking a few dozen different physical parts, etc...

The screen has to be there due to regulations requiring backup cameras, so you might as well use it for other things (or so goes the bean counter thinking).

I've upgraded to the 50GB plan which is about $20 CAD/year, and that's plenty for my iPhone and iPad. And I take a lot of photos. I still have 31GB free.

Best thing I ever did was take a pay cut to move into a non-exempt role.

If I work a minute over 8 hours, I'm now eligible for overtime. Most of the time, I'm not authorized for OT, so at 1630, I'm out the door and not a care in the world until the next morning. If someone comes up and asks me to do something just before I leave, my first question is "Can you authorize me for OT? No? Ok, we'll deal with this tomorrow." It's incredibly freeing.

On the other hand, when I'm on the customer site, OT is basically unlimited and I make bank. Those are very nice paycheques.

Business is fine here. But we, as a society, have decided that running warehouses full of space heaters isnâ(TM)t a good use of our limited resources.

In this case, BC Hydro is a crown corporation, so is wholly owned by the provincial government. They are largely independent, but follow provincial regulations to the letter.

Personally, this is the correct decision. Crypto mining is a huge scam and the power could be put to better use.

If they want cheap power, they can setup in Ocean Falls, which has a huge stranded hydroelectric dam that canâ(TM)t connect to the provincial grid.

Why do you need NAT? There’s no reason for it when you have enough addresses for every cell of every being on earth. You do need firewalls, but the only time I can think of ever needing NAT in ipv6 is if you’re trying to multihome while not running a full BGP stack. That’s a pretty rare usecase.

No one said that youhave to give up your firewall. Firewalling and NAT are two separate things.

Hey, I can still list off my FidoNet address

Youâ(TM)re not subsiding canada. Youâ(TM)re being bent over by the medical industry and they ate charging you for the lube.

Yep, same here. I donâ(TM)t but enough from them to make it worthwhile for shipping, and Iâ(TM)ve decided that Plex is a better experience.

I didnâ(TM)t know that anyone was using RCS these days. I thought everyone had moved on to SVN or Git (never mind CVS, which I was using 20 years ago).

That's why you build them in places with near constant wind, and also build them out in a geographically distributed way. These people are smart, you know.

The nameplate capacity of a generator is very rarely ever realized, no matter what the energy source is. Wind isn't radically different than hydro, solar, nuclear, or whatever else in that respect.

This is exactly it. Masking isn't about protecting the individual, it's about reducing the probability of transmission population-wide. It's all about statistics.

The reality is that to pay for roads, there will need to be a transition to mobility pricing, regardless of whether itâ(TM)s for gasoline vehicles or electric.

Something needs to pay for the roads. Gasoline taxes used to do that (at least partially), but thereâ(TM)s no way to differentiate between the electrons going to your house for your car, and the ones going there for your stove.
