This is what they want to do to the CBC. Money talks when dealing with private news agencies. CBC has been less contaminated.

It's actually just an odometer wheel that drags behind the unit. You need the antennas to be in contact with the ground for best data. So the instrument isn't exactly balanced on the wheel. But close enough to a wheel barrow for illustrative effect :)

Yeah, the modular building incentives are interesting too. Anyone old enough from rural Canada remembers the proliferation of the Quonset after WW2 -- a prefabricated structure originally built to serve the military which suddenly popped up on literally every farm because the things were so cheap. But many of them are still standing today. With economies of scale, one can really build a lot with prefabricated structures very fast.

Of course, this means three story concrete apartments and trailer parks. And boomers (who benefited from their cheap entry level post war housing earlier in their lives) will complain about what it is doing to their property values.

They didn't. They're assuming that because Carney has had business success, that anything he does in government will be corruption to line his own pockets.

When someone has the credentials and success of running national banks, they generally are very good at compartmentalization and are better at it than the shitty slumlords like Marty Morantz.

Tl:Dr; small business; pictures of shipment components from the lease pool.

I run a very small scientific equipment company where our primary income stream is the lease pool. A lot of the equipment is modular, so before sending the equipment to the customer, we have to assemble and test in whatever configuration is appropriate for their study. We take photos and send them notes on how to use the device as configured. Then we disassemble and take a picture of all the components we're sending, then finally package for safe shipping. This picture is one of the steps in the process of making sure that we get all the components back when we get the equipment back.

Because of the modulatity, it would take a lot of time to individually itemize each shipment, so the picture saves a lot of work. But only if the picture is actually useful and you can see and recognize every component. So there is an art to laying it all out. It feels like laying out Lego components, trying to optimize the view.

I just set a subset of the photo above as my LinkedIn banner because it looks cool (to me). Thus, "art".

We are very small. Aside from myself, I've got a business manager and an electronics technician. As we grow, more will be needed. But I suspect ~10 people is the max we can grow to before our market is saturated and we will always be a small business.

If interior decorators are artists, then so is posing things like parts for photos. Like real world exploded views of things. It's just part of my job to catalogue these things, but might as well make each one pleasing (to myself at least).

Probably mostly AI written.

Long article for one sentence of trivia and no info on the algo itself. The death of the internet is upon us.

Basically local authority is devolved from regional authority. And they claimed it back. Constitution has nothing to say here really. What it is, though, is a shady as fuck political power play. And if you don't like this shit, stop electing fuckwads.
