It doesn't matter what anyone believes. The only thing that matters is what they can prove.

Anyone who was not a liberal at 20 years of age had no heart, while anyone who was still a liberal at 40 had no head.

This question is predicated on the assumption that people are less productive in 4 days than they are in 5. You first need to prove (not simply assume) this to be true for this question to have any merit.

Thanks. I actually did do a cursory search but couldn't find anything. I have a whole folder for bookmarks to refer to when I point out the dangers of Flock, and this is definitely going on the list.

Another person who does not understand the scale of the problem and who has clearly never witnessed a firestorm like these.

We cannot manufacture enough drones. There are not enough water bombers, and even if there were, there aren't enough runways, pilots, or enough fuel to do what you're thinking. It's akin to spitting in a bonfire and expecting it to make a difference.

These fires are jumping across lakes miles across, and you think making fire breaks is the answer?

When you see the skies turn red, when you see swathes of wilderness the size of Rhode Island burned, then come back with more ideas.

Clearly you missed the part of the summary that tells the reader what the fundamental problem with your idea is in the boreal forest. It's larger than Europe and there are no roads.

It really doesn't matter. The point is that border agents can't.

I love manual transmissions. I love the feeling of using all four limbs to control the vehicle. But that's because I love driving. A manual transmission keeps me mroe involved with the act of driving, and it's part of what turns driving from a passive into an active activity for me. And no, I don't drive a sports car (2012 Outback, the last manual in Canada was sold in 2018 here).

There is no conceivable scenario today in which a modern automatic transmission will be outperformed by a manual. Automatics are faster, more fuel efficient (have been for at least ten years now), and even cheaper now, and that one was a long time coming. Their reliability and dependability is at least on par now, and that too took a long time to achieve. There's just no reason to make manuals anymore, aside from a select few enthusiast cars (case in point the Mustang; the Miata is another example).

But the real reasons? It's twofold:

1: Fuel efficiency targets. Car manufacturers need to meet efficiency targets based on the entire fleet, and automatics are more efficient. They help bring the entire lineup's fuel mileage up.

2: Safety features and self driving. Lane assist (for the most part), traffic jam assist, and park assist are all highly requested features that come to mind that simply cannot be offered with a manual transmission. Self drive is right out. Even emergency braking would be considerably tougher with a manual.

But more than that, because they're more cost effective nowadays, almost nobody, outside of a very few people like myself who take pleasure in their daily drive, actually wants a manual any longer.

No, it doesn't.

It's been a blast proving you wrong.

The issue here isn't the architecture of any IPv6 implementation. The issue is service providers (I'm looking at you, CloudFlare) using IP based blocking, when far better methods exist.
