Screw these other people saying this is sad. This is awesome! I spent many a Friday night at home programming or gaming and told my friends my parents wouldn't let me go out. You get to go to prom with your friends and geek out, fucking perfect.

I see a successful life in your future!

The Pixel watch supported carrier list also makes no sense, because for some reason the new carriers for the watch 2 don't support the first version?

They often don't update the list for older devices. The supported list is whatever it was when the device came out.

I actually don't know what you mean by "Google's allowlist" but the underlying carrier might matter more than whatever small "carrier" you want to go with. E.g. Telus, Bell, Rogers(/Shaw), Videotron basically run all of the cell networks and then lease them out to the small carriers (which they actually either own, or will eventually).

So if those big guys are on the list, you're probably fine (but I don't actually know how it works). You can google "{name of carrier} mobile network" to find out whose network(s) they're on.

Now the best game begins: hacking.

This could be great for tech workers. Options are actually the worst form of compensation, and companies use them to lure employees into jobs in the tech industry that pay far lower than the same job in the US while it costs the company virtually nothing.

The real reason these guys running "innovation" companies are seething is that to compete it will mean they have to increase the base pay to tech workers (which is better for the employee) or they can issue stock instead of stock options (the issued and vested stock is taxed as income.) But they don't want to do this because they're greedy.

This tarnishes the allure of stock options, which is great.

All in all it's just another click in paywall: https://archive.is/YwR8r

Add 20% for remoteness and we're at 36 billion

50% and we're at 45. It's not going to be 10-15 times more.

How much do you think it costs to...

I guess that's my question. My estimate would easily be a factor of 10 lower.

A quick search gives me this for a treatment plant for a town in Ontario: $32 million (https://www.wellingtonadvertiser.com/erin-wastewater-treatment-plant-will-cost-town-up-to-32-million/). So we're under a billion dollars and all 28 communities now have proper water. What are we even waiting for, let's go!

At $200k to build per 1500 sq ft single family home (possibly aggressively low, but I'm using this to guide my numbers, and trying to go average: https://wowa.ca/how-much-does-it-cost-to-build-a-house), for 90000 homes we're around $20 billion. Call it $25 billion with hookups (I don't know if that was included on wowa.ca)

In 2018 it cost $30 million to build an elementary school in Thunder Bay. Let's call it $50 million and for 56 schools we're at 3 billion dollars.

Still only at $30 billion.

The numbers you've listed are not even $1 million per 4 people, let alone per person.

I'm not saying it's impossible, it just seems like a lot to me. Maybe it includes long term maintenance costs?

Unless I mathed wrong, that's over 1 million dollars per person that the AFN is estimating. Seems unrealistic to me, but I'm not an expert.

I do think we need a "tap" horn (thumb button) and an "I'm mad" horn (press/punch the middle of the steering wheel).

On some cars, the "courtesy honk" is all but impossible.

6th person died in hospital.

8 more people being treated in hospital. I hope they pull through.
