You should get a wall mount for the TV. Lot of people in the room? Need more space? Voila! Pushes right into the wall!

That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

These are all great questions for a lawyer and the answer is probably “it depends”. My understanding is that, if something has multiple licences, you need to follow all of them simultaneously. You can’t choose unless it’s clear that the author allows the choice by using “or” when listing the licences.

The best thing to do when something isn’t clearly licenced is to reach out to the author and ask them to clarify it. If they don’t write back then you shouldn’t do anything with the source material.

Definitely! But as another comment said, there’s no guarantee a teacher will actually reframe the problem into something interesting. They can just give you work sheets and have you do them over and over and over. Math then becomes a topic that relies heavily on the teacher’s ability to engage with students compared to other subjects.

I think it’s a topic that just doesn’t interests most people, especially children. Where I live, solving problems like 10 - x = 4, solve for x is taught to 10 year olds in grade 5. How many 10 year olds would think this is interesting?

In comparison, grade 5 science teaches cells are the building block of life, energy can exist in forms like electrical and light and can transform between them, and matter has states like solid, liquid, and gas. It’s stuff that ends up being naturally more interesting.

You can learn those things any time. Do you mean your goal is for your income to be from games/webdesign/art? In that case you can always join a company. If you mean you want to independently create and sell your works it’s going to be very tough. You’re essentially starting your own business and most business startups fail.

NASA has a webpage on aeronautics that says lift is the mechanical force created by a solid object turning a flow of liquid or gas. They also have an equation for calculating lift for any solid object/fluid combo.

Gracias!

How often do petitions actually affect change?

Never. The government lists 3,319 total petitions and the most popular one has 387,487 signatures which is less than 1% of the population. The petition was to call an early election. I would hope the government doesn’t dissolve itself every time less than 1% of people upvote a post.

Fun fact: “petit ami / petite amie” means “boyfriend / girlfriend”

American alcohol is on the list of immediate tarrifs as well as orange juice, peanut butter, clothing, and cosmetics. There will be further tarrifs on dairy, beef, poultry, fruits and vegetables, steel, aluminum, cars, trucks, busses, and boats after a 21 day delay to give time for Canadian companies to adjust supply chains.

Tarrifs are simple, easy, and can be implemented immediately by the Prime Minister alone. All the other things listed in that comment are fine ideas, but require parliment pass laws, which is going to take time since we’re approaching an election. I don’t think it’s appropriate to wait months before even starting the debate in parliment about what we should do.

There’s also no guarantee any of those ideas would even pass into law. I doubt many politicians are keen on tearing up patent and copyright protection so Canadian companies can rip off American innovations.

The Conservative Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, is already doing that. I’ve heard his ads on the radio calling for Ontarioans to give him a majority government so he “can stand up to Trump”. The guy spent his time as Premier standing up to nurses and bike lanes. This new stand up against Trump shtick is just more faux populism.

There’s a contract from 1648 that still pays interest today because the company that issued it still exists. Unless Ukraine or the UK cease to exist in 100 years this contract will absolutely be enforced.

Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a mental health disorder in which a caregiver creates the appearance of health problems in another person - typically their child.

I always like articles saying this is unprecedented for South Korea, a country which has experienced a revolving door of coups and military dictatorships since it’s creation up until 1997 when it had its first peaceful transition of power in history.

The total for just the executives is $88million. Leaving $19million for the 700 employees, or $27,000 each. You are donating to executives.

Edit: whoops, it’s total salary in 2021, I misread

Here’s their audit report. 59.8% of their expenses are in executive salaries, a total of $107,793,960 this year. They list internet hosting as 1.7% of their expenses at $3,116,445.

The Queen’s face and name has been on everything for decades. There are Canadians in their 70s who never knew anything different. That’s just the way things were. It was tradition. That’s how I saw it anyways. Anyone who complained about it was just complaining about a symbolic action we’ve all been doing for generations. Nobody is actually swearing their life to the queen–it’s just a tradition. Then she died.

Now some random old guy’s face and name is going to be on everything. If we’re going to change everything anyways, then why not change it to something different? The argument that was seen as a small complaint before now makes a lot of sense. If we’re changing the words to our oath anyways, then why not change them to words we can all agree on?
