Everyone hates on lawyers, until they need one...

Yeah, I could see neck guards becoming required equipment after this. Safety regulations are built on blood

$35B could have built some nice transit infrastructure. Just saying

I could see maintenance costs increases being not insignificant over time. Parts/appliances had gone up notably, as has materials and the cost of people to do the work. There's also some issues with receivables which may end up needing to be written off, and deliberate damage over time. Generally, these do need to be accounted for on a going-forward basis.

That said, none of these should have increased nearly so much as the cost of property and overall rents. They should account for a reasonable increase over time, instead what we see is increased to cover the cost of the mortgage on additional rental properties etc

Yeah but he's on the wanted list because it's terrible behavior for a bear. He didn't even try to pay!

Yeah not sure exactly what a union even has to be "sorry" about in regards to a bunch of evil pieces of shit doing terrible things oversees

I think there was also some threats of beheadings more recently

They could, but that's still going to take a lot to balance the scales. It should be part of an overall plan for housing affordability

Slumlords and overpriced rentals can be storage issues though. It can be a nice place, but if you're paying $2k+/mo for a 1b1b that's way too fucking much even if it's in good condition

This feels like a crappy situation to be in. Governments up the chain have obviously dropped the ball if we're bringing in refugees without actually having solid plans to support them, sponsors etc.

Meanwhile increasing amounts of citizens are suffering from homelessness due to the housing crisis.

If they think that "denying refugees" is going to spur racism and xenophobia, what exactly do they think will happen when citizens are turned away because the shelters are full of refugees the governments didn't adequately plan for?

 

You can clone a drive from one machine to another using "dd" and netcat (nc)

Caveats:

  • The commands should be run a root

  • Data on the destination device will be overwritten, so double-check that you get the right one (maybe check with "lsblk" etc)

  • The drive on the destination machine must be at least as big as the source

  • The data on the source device should not changed while it is being cloned. Make sure it has no mounted partitions (it's a good idea to boot from USB). Ditto the destination drive

  • The source machine must be able to reach the destination on the port specific (not blocked by firewall etc)

  • Data is sent unencrypted over the network, so make sure you get the right destination and your network is trustworthy/secure (you could so this over the internet - firewall rules permitting - but I wouldn't recommend doing so with a drive containing sensitive data and it is going to eat up bandwidth/data-cap)

The process....

On the machine with the destination drive, run the following (where 11111 is a TCP port the machine will listen on, and /dev/sdd is the device that will be cloned to. Data will be sent in 1M blocks).

nc -l 11111 | dd of=/dev/sdd status=progress

This will begin listening for data on port 11111

On the machine with the source drive, run the following (where 192.168.1.2 is the IP address if the destination machine, /dev/sdb is the drive being cloned from, and 11111 is the port you used above)

dd if=/dev/sda status=progress bs=1M | nc 192.168.1.2 11111

You should see progress on both hosts as the drive from machine to the other

I prefer against sharing my specific location but western Canada in an area where there can literally be a 60-70°c+ difference between peak winter and summer conditions.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Road clearing in general is pretty bad here, let alone sidewalks and bike lanes (especially since the "clearing" often involves pushing it off to the side and blocking up those lanes).

I found it cool how some countries had sweepers which collect the snow and cart it off rather than just pushing it around
