He might have been talking about the depressed part...

Moreover, just because we don't completely understand it now doesn't mean we never will.

You can do a better job with high-intensity infrared leds, and it won't bother everyone around you. It's possible it would be easy to detect by police and may be illegal in some areas.

A street I used to regularly use had its max speed rwduced to 30 km/h and speed bumps installed. This resulted in me, and apparently many others, not using that street anymore. I'd say they worked pretty well. Some might respond, "Well, now there's one less road in the area being used by cars, increasing congestion elsewhere." At which point I'd agree with them, and say that's probably better than having cars routinely driving past a school.

This sounds pretty similar to the situation the OP is describing.

According to Wikipedia, and data for the last century, there were 73 annular and 71 total eclipses, which is pretty close to the same. List of 20th century eclipses. Now, I haven't checked to see if there are more of one than the other in the eclipse cycle, but given the difference of 2 over a century and the cycle taking 18 years, it can't be more than one.

But see them while you can. In the distant future, there won't be any total eclipses.

I traveled to see the annular eclipse in October, and I'm traveling to the path of the total eclipse next month. I'm sure they both will be amazing experiences. My last total eclipse is decades ago.

In short, I disagree with this meme.

To add to your list. You could still get checks in Canada as of a couple years ago, but virtually no one does that outside of some seniors who refuse to move on.

I think this might be a rocket talking to us.

Canada decided to have none of that. Downloading without keeping a copy (streaming) was basically thrown out as copyright infringement, the whole lost income idea was generally laughed at, and the final result was a maximum judgement of $500 for all non-commercial copyright infringement prior to the suit. Which basically would pay for about one hour of the plaintiff lawyer's fees. We don't get a lot of copyright suits like that in Canada any more.

Worked as stated.

I saw that, and if there is evidence of that group being in contact with the two people in this article, that would be relevant. As an aside, looks like a couple of the Alberta people pled out. Hopefully the others get consequences they won't forget.

Based on your username, it isn't you.
