You're not wrong. It looks so much bigger than the 2.1m sq km that it is. In fact, it's 100k smaller than the Democratic Republic of the Congo. When you look at a Mercator map, Greenland looks comparable to the entire continent of Africa.
It's actually useful to note that Canada+USA together (19.8 sq km) is bigger than Russia (17m sq km) by about an India (3m sq km), but still short of the former USSR (22m sq km). But add in Greenland (2.3)? Now you've got the biggest country that ever existed.
You're right, making an America that is the largest country on earth is precisely what his ego is after.
We're not always great a describing who we are, but we sure as fuck know who we are not.
Hey, just a lone Canuck on a 10 state fire season careless smoking tour of the wests national forests oughta do it. People forget that we're largely upwind.
And upstream, but that's a whole other level of sabotage.
Paula White needs to STFU and get back in the kitchen.
I just bought a big order from the South Island Pie Co. It's an ex-pat Kiwi living in Edmonton that produces NZ-style meat pies. They are fucking awesome, and the crust is out of this world. Highly recommend.
In that guys defence, it's pretty common to just have your torrent client on in the background doing its thing. He was likely unaware either until seeing the notice.
That type of talk got me three Reddit bans. One for using 'burn it down' in a clearly rhetorical sense. They can get bent.
I have questions
I agree with all of this, but I do have a bit of pushback- The account creation process, with the steps of create, verify, provide username to host, wait for invite, accept invite, pin to sidebar is enough of a barrier that it stops some people. I have a handful of guest accounts already setup and sorted that I toss out to interested people, and if they find it useful only then do I have them jump through the hoops of creating their own account.
Memory Express is your friend, especially in western Canada.
In a perfect world, right after his comments there should have been a hail of gunfire putting him down. You know, just to prove that europeans aren't vassal states.
Where I am it universally refers to a railroad company, Canadian Pacific.
Where’s the fun in building an Apple IIe if you use a flash drive instead of the hard drive?
Not to be that guy, but the Apple IIe didn't have a hard drive. External tape or floppy were your only storage choices. The real cool kids had two floppy drives, so you could pirate games directly disk-to-disk.
Thomas Midgley Jr is the same guy that invented leaded gas and also invented freon (chlorofluorocarbons). Imagine being the architect of not one but two of the greatest environmental calamities of the industrial age.
I humbly direct you towards the raw milk crowd
Can I please buy a car that's not smart? I don't need my car spying on me.
His mistake was making doors that go like this instead of like this. If you want to be iconic like the DeLorean, the doors have to go like this.
