1. My own experience. 2. A US government website saying Canadians don't need visas. 3. Official government stats showing that the US issues around 11 million visas per year, but Canadians make 30 million cross border trips every year.
I don't believe it is my responsibility as a taxpayer to fund wars in other countries.
You're wrong. If there's one thing that you as a taxpayer have had the responsibility to pay for throughout the history of mankind, it's war. You may as well not believe that fire is hot, or that water is wet.
So are thousands of dollars of increased costs due to unreasonable efficiency and emissions requirements, but the same people having a conniption over the loss of Obama's internet welfare don't give fuck number one about the costly consequences of the regulations they advocate.
This is socialist economics 101: you use government to wreck the economy so that people are starving and destitute, then offer government handouts to convince them that you're the only one who can help.
I think they learned the tactic from abusive husbands; first you punch your wife in the face, then you offer her an ice pack and tell her how much you love her. Do it just right and she'll never leave you.
The reality is if you don't like society then you are free to move away from it, with your money, and become a hermit.
Right, so we don't need social programs to help the poor, because if they don't like being poor they should just move the fuck away from our society. That sound about right to you?
I swear to God, if Obama had found the cure for cancer, these f.cking trumptards would repell it, and in a sickening display of intellectual travesty, they would somehow claim that this is a Good Thing (tm).
If Obama had found a cure for cancer it would probably involve having a government issued monitoring device involuntarily wedged up your ass 24/7 for your entire life, along with a law saying you either had to consent to it or pay thousands of dollars a month in fees.
So yeah, reversing that "cure" would be a Good Thing (tm).
However, if you think about it for a while, you'll find that the majority of contacts will be made at slant ranges quite a bit longer than 1200km. The geometry is messy. And computing the average/typical range turns out to be even messier. I COULD do it (I think) and so could you most likely. But it'll take a bit of effort. My best guess would be 12-15ms round trip typical.
That's not bad for a back of the envelope guesstimate. Assuming a 40 degree angle (excessive but ok) the maximum length would be about 1600 km, which bumps an 8 ms roundtrip time up to around 10-11 ms.
Those are of, course, minimum times. Any useful system is going to introduce more delay. But the interesting thing to note is that, at least in theory, communicating with a partner on the other side of the world could actually be faster than using land-based infrastructure.
It'll be interesting to see how it actually performs.
I couldn't find stats on the relative rate of incarceration of foreigners.
Bingo. Bet you didn't find any stats on the murder rate of visitors, either.
As a white dude my odds of being murdered in the US are about the same as of being murdered in Luxemburg. I don't hear too many dipshits whining about how Luxemburg is too dangerous to visit. That rate, by the way, is only about twice as high as England, which certainly isn't something any rational person would seriously worry about.
Of course, given that the majority of homicides happen between acquaintances, and that a large chunk of the rest are gang members killing each other, my real risk is so low that it's barely worth discussing. As long as I leave my acquaintes and gang enemies behind I'm much safer traveling in the USA than I am staying home.
So BOSCH bought them from China. You think they machine them one at a time paying competitive wages in Germany? China melts down whatever is laying around and labels it steel.
You're obsessed. Before you go to sleep at night do you check for China under your bed?
But: under the current circumstances no way. As long as I have the risk of getting killed by a random shooting *or* get put in jail and have to make a deal and pled guilty for a thing I never did: no way I go in that fucked up country.
Totally. I, like you, also have a poor understanding of relative risk, which is why I'll never travel to fucked up countries like England and France. Don't want to get run over by an islamist in a truck, or blown up outside a concert. And you can totally forget Russia or China; I've seen their dashcam videos!
Spelling mistakes do happen. So do reading mistakes. The Register had an article on the confusion caused by using "expertsexchange" as a username and a.dom web page. Could anyone remember every single randomly assigned email address used by universities.
Canadians are granted a B-1/B-2 visa at the border (depending on business vs. pleasure); they just don't have to apply in advance.
Source: being a Canadian who has travelled to the US a great deal.
You're going to need a better source than that; I also have travelled to the US a great deal and, AFAIK, the only time I've had any kind of visa is when I've had to stay there for a few months. Every other time I've just chatted with the border agent for a minute and then driven through.
It's funny... I got some dogecoin just as a laugh and forgot all about it. Given the hashing rate i expected it to be in a constant state of inflation, so I never expected to get my money back.
A year later I checked the price and it was selling for 10 times what I paid.
People are nuts. I cashed out and called it a win.
Well, sure thing, Ivan; when you're willing to throw away the lives of 20 million of your people in order to defeat 5 million Germans, it's no surprise that you make it to Berlin first. That doesn't make you a great general, or make your people great fighters; as your comrade Stalin once said, quantity has a quality all it's own.
Slashdot Mirror
not quite true, heating sufficiently can break chemical bonds.
If you are being heated enough to break chemical bonds, cancer is going to be the least of your concerns.
So let's see. On the one side I have:
1. My own experience.
2. A US government website saying Canadians don't need visas.
3. Official government stats showing that the US issues around 11 million visas per year, but Canadians make 30 million cross border trips every year.
And, on the other side I have:
1. You. Saying "just trust me".
K. Way to sell your case.
I don't believe it is my responsibility as a taxpayer to fund wars in other countries.

And I'm telling you that Texas loves hippies.
Thank you very much for explaining why my joke was not accurate. You must be the life of every party.

No, Texas has higher cancer rates than California.
That's not what the CDC says.
https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/dcp...
That is extremely inaccurate and shows ignorance of Texas history. Did you know that Texas was the US hotbed for psychedelic music?
Wtf does psychedelic music have to do with warning labels? You're making even less sense than usual.
The miners are competing. If you make the hardware cheaper and more energy efficient, they'll just buy more of it.
Good businnes for Intel; does nothing to lower energy or other resource usage.
California has some of the lowest cancer rates in the country, so maybe not so stupid and counterproductive.
Texas has about the same cancer rates, and the only warning labels they have are the ones that say "hippies will be shot on sight".

I take it the two of you aren't actually familiar with kodi addons.
The almighty internet sayeth -- altitude 1200 km, latency 25-35ms
If you do the math properly, the minimum round trip latency is actually more like 8 ms.

You may want to look up the meaning of the word "generally".
Or you could try scrolling further down on the page you linked, to where it says:
"Citizens of Canada and Bermuda do not require visas to enter the United States, for visit, tourism and temporary business travel purposes"
Everybody's stock is falling after Trump thought tariffs would be a brilliant idea.
My portfolio dipped by 1%. Quelle horreur.
By the way, slashdot mods who downmod me every time I describe how tariffs are a terrible idea...I told you so.
Keep fighting the good fight oh brave karma kamikaze!
BOSCH isn't even mentioned in the article. This is a mechanical problem because someone bought cheap shit from China.
10 seconds worth of googling later ...
"The bolts, made by German supplier Bosch, can begin to corrode after contact in cold temperatures with road salt."

Don't kid yourself; they had all of that information before your plane left the ground.
VLC doesn't have plugins which let you stream pirated content directly from pirate sites.
Don't get me wrong; this is definitely stupid. But your comparison isn't really valid.
But: under the current circumstances no way. As long as I have the risk of getting killed by a random shooting *or* get put in jail and have to make a deal and pled guilty for a thing I never did: no way I go in that fucked up country.
