This is fucking stupid. I have lived around this area for my entire life and literally everyone who doesn't live on a reserve (and isn't part of an actual town) have wells or cisterns that were paid with privately.

The only thing stopping someone from getting their own well would be if the ground water isn't available (very low probability that everyone around the reserve has ground water but the reserve doesn't) or that the ground water is contaiminted (also very low probability for the same reason as before, and especially because contamination that bad would have a huge affect downstream in the Grand River).

Like shit, I have both a well and a cistern, as do all my neighbours around me... If someone could explain why wells and cisterns don't work on this particular reserve I'd really appreciate it.

Huh, as a Linux user who puts up with Proton's unwillingness to support Linux, to me this seems to he saying "Stop paying for Proton until they make Linux clients"

Literally every media outlet curates which stories it publishes, this is not unique to this website.

So what exactly is your argument about legally being allowed to possess the means to properly defend ourselves?

Considering that the US has less murders per gun than Canada does, I'm not sure issue is the guns.

 

Hopefully this doesn't get lost in the mix of other scandals (ex. ArriveCan, foreign interference) like it did last time.

I mean, the US does it better than any other western nation, we could at least be on par with them

True, though it'd be nice if it were legally recognised.

Also, governments are responsible for the most murders in history (excluding actual wars.... which are also caused by governments) so wanting to protect yourself from the state isn't a massive leap in logic or conspiracy's territory.

Agreed, this is why we should be allowed to arm ourselves (among other reasons)

Linux in the wild for the first time

Me too man, but not by much

This sort of ridiculousness is why I got two seperate drives (needed the extra space anyways) and choose which one to boot from the mobo EFI menu.

 

Since a Linux client for Drive doesn't appear to be in the works for anytime soon, having folder statistics (ex. # items in the folder, size of data in the folder) available from the web app would be pretty damn useful for figuring out if a given folder matches an offline backup.

(Yes I know that unofficially there's the rclone thing but I tried that and got an "unusual account activity" error).

More broadly, it would be really helpful if Proton worked on base functionality for their existing products rather continuing to launch new products.
