Boomers are buying diamonds - why?

No doubt cleaning up a rail yard is a huge and expensive undertaking. However, it has been done successfully in Winnipeg before, albeit on a smaller scale. The Forks used to be a rail yard before being redeveloped into what it is now.

I could definitely get on board with extending ISO 216 to include a standardized set of screen sizes with this aspect ratio.

possible answerIf you were convinced that the display inside the silo was fake, would you take for granted that the bodies were real? I don't think I would. I would probably assume that the bodies were part of the fake display, and that the real Holstons were alive and well.

I agree. There are definitely more differences than similarities between a smartphone and an EV. They'll basically be starting from scratch.

I wish that were the case everywhere. Unfortunately, I've found it to be the other way around here in Winnipeg. Superstore and No Frills are among the cheapest places to shop here, and the ethnic grocers tend to be among the most expensive.

Back in my teens and twenties, I would often eat a whole full-sized Snickers. I don't know if I would now though. My appetite for junk food has diminished quite a bit.

My favourite is pacman. I actually like the syntax. It feels very UNIX-y.

I'm a fan of the refresh (-y) and upgrade (-u) options being separate flags that can be used separately or together. I also find pacman's output to be very clean and readable.

Whenever I use apt, I find it slightly annoying that I need to invoke update and upgrade (and dist-upgrade) separately. I also find apt spits out a lot of unnecessary output, resulting in an unreadable wall of text.

I haven't used yum/dnf much, but the few times I used it I was slightly annoyed that it seems to insist on refreshing the repositories every time it runs.
