They’ll still have to pay the tariff when crossing the border back to the USA, unless they want to risk smuggling it.
- Comment on Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years 2 weeks ago:
I get the need for them, to pay for shared building services. Strata fees pay for exercise rooms, pools, grounds maintenance, whatever. I 100% am behind them, as long as the Strata council is responsive to needs and not corrupted, but there’s the rub.
- Comment on Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. I’m pretty much resigned to living in our rental until we get renovicted. No kids, double income, a lot of savings… but the mortgage payments would be way more than it’s worth to have a minor upgrade. Strata payments alone are often more than our rent!

Not Vancouver. Nothing that size would go less than 2 million until you hit Coquitlam. MAYBE.
- Comment on Unsubscribe? Nope! We'll Just Add You To An "Unsubscribers" List! 2 weeks ago:
I’ve found that changing my email address works better than unsubscribe sometimes. Just change it to a tagged address and set up a filter. Shields you against future sales as well.
All the Trump emails go rbos+fucktrump now. Probably a hundred a day. Unsubscribe did not work.
Also, Canadian. Incompetent jerks.

A while ago (late 90s?) they straightened the border and reevaluated land along the 49th parallel. Some towns switched countries.
- Comment on Oxbowin' 5 weeks ago:
Such a stupid border decision. They should have fixed it in the territory swaps a few years ago.
- Comment on Subway 5 weeks ago:
I really like sandwich with a pretty large pickle in it. One of my faves.

I’d be worried about insurance as a catch. Especially if you live somewhere like the USA.

That was my theory too - the Gems are a von Neumann probe, created by a possibly-gone species.

- Comment on Exclusive | Texas migrant buses to NYC come to a halt — but hundreds of border-crossers are still arriving each week 3 months ago:
That sounds high. How much of that is transient seasonal labour?
- Comment on Exclusive | Texas migrant buses to NYC come to a halt — but hundreds of border-crossers are still arriving each week 3 months ago:
The USA has a population nearing 400 million, you wouldn’t think a few hundred thousand migrants a year would be an issue.

Should’ve. Didn’t. Oh well. Stuck with it.

In retrospect I definitely would have liked a duodecimal metric system, but we have what we have at this point. It’s good enough and a DAMN sight better than imperial.

Sure, but that’s a backhoe used on a shovel problem.
- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 6 months ago:
They abandoned Linux support. Fuck them. It was one of the only games that did. Linux users were a bug part of their initial success, and they dumped us as soon as the money came in.
