-20°C or more winters

largely/generally this is how it's done for NAFTA visas

you can renew the same permit without, but you can't go from one type of permit to another (student to working prof in my case) without flagpoling; you also can't go from a visa to a permit without flagpoling

it's a great last line; when trying to explain something to someone it behooves someone to ask a follow-up so they can clarify anything not yet answered.

Political violence created and has sustained democracy, democracy is what happens when the violence fails and violence is what happens when the democracy fails.

This seems like fantastic fantasy or fanfic, but unless you have a citation or some actual names, I think I'll put it down to fiction

I am an archivist; please don't use flash drives because they lose data to the air; use hard disk drives.

Brazil and South Korea offer two relatively recent examples

I mean, the CEO of bsky used skeet unironically in interviews so I'd say it's a-ok

Canada is the source of more than 80% of the US's potash, the source of fertilizer. Without that, the entire farming industry and its crops withers and dies. It is not something easily sourced and not something easily replaced, and the crops all die long before it can be sourced or replaced. Your suggestion to close the border is absurd, jingoistic, empty, and meaningless.

OP, I love your passion, but as someone who's been in these trenches for a long time as a visibily queer person, you are a Titanic heading for an iceberg of legal issues in the US, UK,and a few other places. You are putting yourself and your users at an extremely high risk of outing, doxing, and potential legal issues. The fact that you haven't addressed these issues scares me and it should scare you.

Yes, huge +1 to this OP, especially if you're American bc you are heading for a big collision with FOSTA-SESTA and other legal issues that could put you and your users at risk of harm.

No they're not; their roots are in the YMCA and the British society for the suppression of vice and earlier societies dating back to the 1700s. They originated when the church courts were shut down and are a feature of British evangelicalism that Americans turbocharged.

I've found mousemaster (windows) to be excellent and the dev incredibly nice and responsive

Why didn't other people, other national archives, other commercial concerns or non-profits join in this work?

I'm very confused by this statement and I don't understand if it comes from you not working in library and information science, your definition of an archives or your opinion on what an acquisition policy should be, but lots of national archives have and continue to archive the Web.

I think pointing just to Wikipedia ignores the growing use adoption and massive impact of Wikidata. perhaps I'm biased because of my field but everything I see indicates the growing and not shrinking power of it, I would categorize it as different than Wikipedia's effects though.

I would happily bite on that; I mostly deal with archives, libraries, museums and how they deal with people and communities. Because of that there is a ton of nuance when it comes to identities (there is a lot of gradation in meaning between "African American" and "Black" or gay and homosexual for example). Things that seem simple are often very complicated and I've spent a good deal of my PhD work working on that (the Homosaurus is the most popular example of this work); and lately I've been working on how to represent identities in a linked and changing way that can still be used by cultural heritage institutions (i.e. simple enough to be linked to SKOS and Wikidata). I feel pretty close on how to represent some aspects of this semantically, thanks to help from a brilliant ontologist friend.

it's more likely in cochlear implant territory (there are different laws and regulations for implants vs aids depending on locale)

enough publicized cases of Chinese CCP operatives gaining

Like? not doubting you, just not aware of multiple cases beyond the big near-miss earlier this year

Where can we follow up on this when you're done--do you have a blog or social media?

this one is maintained

They don't, OCLC is largely funded by the exorbitant prices they charge libraries for various things, including DDC.

yeah I'll definitely try out ecode when auto save is implemented!

you can have rows between the columns is the key difference

And hopefully the massive towers push the council to start rezoning those single story residential areas into something more realistic

Yeah it's hardly an inactive place; I'm sure as the towers go up some of the single story houses will sell and Broadway will expand. Especially as the new skytrain stations go in

I never found a good setup / getting started guide on using xpath with FreshRSS, so I'd love to hear how you're using it

Sabre Notes is aiming to get there sooner rather than later. incredible progress last year from basically nothing https://github.com/saber-notes/saber

as an archivist 3-2-2-1 is better. The second 2 indicates that the two backups should be on two different brands of media in case of a catastrophic design flaw.

I would also be really interested in your AHK script!
