You should read Flatland it’s an awesome book and blew my mind as a young textile geek.

They used to crop dust DDT for fuck sakes.

The only way that you can stop a crazy-killer-robo-taxi is to have your own craxy-killer-robo-taxi.

Craxy-killer-robo-taxi don’t kill people… Oh wait, they do.

Dude, politics is a system that society has created to prevent change. When you get that, the western system of governance makes more sense.

You’re looking at it from the wrong side. Imagine a politician saying, “we’re starting a new tax, 20% of your income”. You ask why, what’s it for and he says “everything!” how keen are you for that?

All taxes were created one at a time and sold to people individually. Politicians said “we need money for x, we need to tax y to pay for it”. Run for office on a platform of eliminating all taxes with your omnibus tax reforms and we’ll see how it goes.

I think because when a tax is getting implemented the people want to know exactly why they pay it and what it’s for.

Here we have school boards that manage a very large area of many schools. The taxes of many municipalities pool to fund many schools. These tax systems are old and probably very hard to change. I’m sure there are better ways to do things but the political might to change the system isn’t there.

I’m all for tax reform, but people need to understand what taxes pay for what stuff. I’m sure municipalities would like a different way to generate revenue than property taxes as well.

In Canada we like “sin” taxes on bad for you things. The lottery funds schools, liquor taxes fund health care for example.

I want to pay and gladly will for community enrichment,

Most people say this and I agree. And then the comment under you is complaining about paying property taxes which directly pay for these things you’d like to see funded.

The part about wrapping around the treads between the button and shirt is to give space for the button hole side and to protect the threads from wearing against the button hole and provide longevity to the repair.

Oh, you farm fresh egg.

My favorite thing about 4 strand plaiting is that if have 2 of the same colour on one side you end up with checkers and if have 2 on either side you get a spiral. Make a marble rye!

Try it with something flat, like shoelaces. It makes a tube like a Chinese finger trap. To do it the way they mean you bring the Weaver around the back, between the two on the other side and then back to the bottom of the side it started on. You’re kind of getting the same effect, but not really. One Weaver should be making a helix down the braid. I think your Weaver is changing direction. (Sorry, textile geek here)

Certainly doesn’t matter, I’m sure it tastes great either way!

I was wondering because I was on the west coast of Canada on Haida Gwaii and all the garbage I found was from Asia. I found a bottle of Korean Head and Shoulders and the guy I was staying with was using Japanese dish soap that he found washed up.

A lot of garbage gets picked up by the current and deposited on beaches. A lot of mapping of the current happened when a container of Lego fell off a ship and washed to shore over decades. They have been talking about the Atlantic current collapsing due to climate change and the melting of Greenland glaciers. I wonder if less garbage correlates to less current.

Here’s an article about the Lego. It doesn’t talk about mapping, but I seem to remember reading that people were studying it. https://www.toronto.com/news/a-bit-of-nostalgia-rare-lego-piece-found-after-being-lost-in-atlantic-ocean-for/article_5ec3be6c-50ed-5129-84bb-e399299d862f.html
