The US was literally created the same way.

I do find it hilarious how we always defend our illogical likes whenever they are pointed out directly. There is a very slight product difference in any luxury experience. It adds to the experience after all. However this is meaningless in

I'm pretty sure it violates multiple laws in various jurisdictions to be on 'vacation' while not being on vacation.

I just find it to be a lot of smoke hanging around for nothing to be burning. These whales had been living in that pool for years and had even given birth without issue. Seems rather strange timing to all of a sudden have a mystery 'to

They were poisoned. After living an the aquarium for years, right before this "vote" came to the park board. Not a lot of direct evidence, but a shitload of smoke.

I think it depends on how you define "intelligence". And to be honest, I don't really think we have a good definition for the various things that encompass what it means to be "intelligent".

It saddens me that a perfectly valid question is downvoted into grey here.

You're missing nothing. Saying "waiting for a lower tax rate" is just a nice way of saying "never". There is no good reason a corporation would bring offshore cash back unless they absolutely have to. The whole poin

It's not that they don't exist, it's that you don't have the POS being widespread enough to support it in a common way. The Interac system in Canada is pretty much a given for any vendor that has a cash register. That au

Check out credit unions. I'm with Coast Capital and pay zero for fees at regular bank machines. "Private" atm fees do cost, yes. Tangerine and PC financial also offer no fee options too, but I'm not sure to what extent.

You are correct in all of this, of course, but cash can always be kept for backup even in societies that are mostly cashless. The issue of "un banked" can be distinctly American too, actually. Given the extent of social programs i

Given that I've personally bought Cuban cigars with my Amex card last Christmas as gifts, I'm pretty sure your assertion is false. It's more likely the case that an American credit card holder cannot buy them, even when he is

I'm not sure what you are looking for. OP linked a cashless society to being the cause of government control. This is false. Government can exert control already in a cash-based society to a sufficient degree. It's more a style of

I'm Canadian, so not only can I buy Cuban cigars, I can buy them in a store down the street with my debit card. (A real debit card that connects directly to my account, not just a prepaid credit card.) Regardless though, making an ille

Thankfully, there is a good amount of space between money under mattresses and a government controlled economy. Your comment is a giant straw man. Canadian and EU systems are private ones and the government has little or no power to directl

Throwing this thing up in the air will have more chance of success in achieving orbit than anything you build in KSP for the first 30 hours of play time though.

It has 1969 pieces. Seriously? Who worked that one out? Kudos.

"ahead of the West" Ahem, ahead of the US, really. Canada and the EU can be cashless already, with chip cards and direct bank withdrawal at the POS a reality for 99.99% of merchants.

It's smart, but that also struck me... this is the USA we're talking about. I used to be able to enter that country with a driver's licence and a hello. Amazing how things have changed.

So basically a "super generous" company in the US is basically the average of the rest of the western world. That's pretty amazing in and of itself.

You don't force businesses to pay directly, you set up a government benefit (payroll tax) that is then used to fund things like mat/pat leaves. Here in Canada, we get a year that can be divided in different ways. Almost everyone t

No, no scientists have ever considered the multitude of factors and variables that make up climate in their approach to trying to isolate what might be causing changes. Not even for a split second. Someone just coughed on a passing car&#x27

Call me when you support increased military spending. Because that's what it'll take, and that's one of the few things Canadians universally don't think is all that important.

That's exactly what they do in Vancouver, actually. To various degrees of effectiveness.

It's been a long transition, yes. So long, that 4-5 years ago, developing a new application in 3.X was a non starter. Hence, 2.7. Now, you have 2.7 apps that are very mature, stable and reliant on lots of little things. Okay, big job.

Alex Fraser has cables on the outside, and the same issues, if not worse. https://goo.gl/images/XogwUa

I'd imagine the size of the bridge itself might be a factor. The two in question in Vancouver (Alex Fraser/Port Mann) would dwarf the Zakim bridge (that's what I'm assuming you are talking about). I suppose an engineer w
