Harrison Lake, in BC, Canada, is supposed to have a landslide of similar magnitude that could let go at any time. Some people think the slosh from that might reach as far as the US border, across several municipalities. A couple hundred thousand people.

So that'll be fun.

I try to notice it but often fail.

Smaller plates genuinely helped me reduce portion sizes.

We don't deserve that. We shouldn't maybe be surprised, but nobody deserves that.

If it was 'he' nobody would have questioned it, which kinds gives me pause for thought.

Vast majority, even.

700km/h would be about 200m/s in 2 seconds, so about 10g. Survivable.

Pity Webb couldn't be there.

30 is hot. 41 is incomprehensible. Shudder.

My coastal rainforest brain cannot grok.

I hope this is the kind of DC that will end up supporting sovereign infrastructure. Eliminating the USA from thr loop should be a good investment.

I've never heard of anyone getting one, ever. But I work at a university.

100%. I think just a vertical flip of the image would do it. Otherwise anatomically difficult to pull off.

That was a plot point in Cryptonomicon. And yeah the XFree86 docs mentioned it too...

3: off by one errors.

Had to be said.

It's mostly fine, depending on how your local place is set up. Ours can handle it, but for large amounts they recommend dropping it off at a depot.

Or into the compost. Putting organics in the trash smells bad fast.

I love municipal compost so much.

Do you mean Ontario?

The population disparity is too high. They wouldn't be joining us, in practice it would be the other way around.

Ottawa is out of touch enough with BC's needs, imagine rule from Sacramento.

If they were rare, they would be unbelievably expensive. We're so lucky they are cheap.

Sure. I mean, you could. Probably there are better sources, like construction waste, that you'd want to exhaust first, but I obviously haven't done a serious cost-benefit analysis, nor am I really qualified. My intuition is that you could do it but there are better uses of the time and money.

Relatively inert stuff in a landfill doesn't seem like the highest-priority use of the time and money. The resources used to scrap and recycle a wind turbine blade could probably be much better used for more consequential purposes.
