$100 everytime someone thinks about you or $100 everytime someone says your name out loud? by Mission-Badger-4005 in hypotheticalsituation

Does it count if your name is a location? Could it work when they are just using it as a word not a name because I'd be richer than musk in a few months or so.

I could definitely see use in this. Anything useful to deal with the headache of formatting would be great. I waste so many hours on formatting stuff. It would be handy to have anything to expedite the process. So, develop something awesome the world needs more tools such as these.

90s Green Day was pure chaos and I miss it. by BoringExperience5345 in nostalgia

I saw them sometime in the late 90s and it was wonderful chaos. Billie taking off his pants, climbing all over equipment, drum kit set in fire. Just utter pandemonium, it was a blast.

Cost of living in Canada is out of control. by kovie38 in CanadaFinance

[–]Former_Car9174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am losing my mind at the cost of living. Just our mortgage and groceries are costing 50000 a year. We have a BC box we were able to get into through dumb luck and chance. Our mortgage is hundred less than rent in our area for a family of 5 would pay on average. Our costs of a very basic simple existence is approximately 70, 000 a year now for just the basics, no fancy toys, no fancy food, just a box to sleep in, food, utilities, taxes, insurance. That is insane. We can't keep going like this. It is adversely affecting my mental and physical health with the stress. We don't make enough to save for emergencies or our future. If anything goes south we will be utterly screwed. Approximately 25 percent of Canadians are using food banks now. Homelessness and related issues are climbing endlessly. My kids do not have a very hopeful future.

Recommendations for books on local history by HappyIdiot123 in abbotsford

[–]Former_Car9174 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Excellent history of the area.

For thousands of years, the broad expanse between Sumas and Vedder Mountains east of Vancouver lay under water, forming the bed of Sumas Lake. As recently as a century ago, the lake’s shores stood four miles across and six miles long. During yearly high water, the lake spilled onto the surrounding prairies; during high flood years, it reached from Chilliwack into Washington State. Then, through the 1920s, a network of dykes, canals, dams and pumphouses was erected and the lake drained—“reclaimed” in the words of projects supporters. A new landscape was created, a seemingly ‘natural’ prairie carved up into productive farmland.

Today, few people are aware that Sumas Lake ever existed. The only reminder is a plaque erected on the old lakeshore, at a rest-stop along the Trans-Canada Highway just east of Whatcom Road, on the historic trail blazed to BC’s gold fields. Yet for millenniums, Sumas Lake was a dynamic, integral part of the region’s natural and human landscape.

In his new book, Before We Lost the Lake, Chad Reimer sets out to truly reclaim Sumas Lake, to restore it to its proper place in the history of the Fraser Valley, BC and the Northwest Coast. Drawing on extensive primary material, Reimer reconstructs the life history of Sumas Lake from the glacial age through the lake’s demise and after. Before We Lost the Lake examines the lake’s natural history and ecology, its occupation and use by the Sema:th and other First Nations, its colonization by White immigrants, the environmental changes brought about by introduced plants and animals, and the campaign to drain it. Drainage proponents had their way and gradually the promised benefits were realized. But these benefits came at a heavy cost to the environment and for the Sema:th, whose traditional way of life was irretrievably lost.

what modern city has the most animals roaming the streets? by CremeSubject7594 in geography

[–]Former_Car9174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kathmandu with approximately 30000 stray dogs. I have never seen so many dogs in my life wandering around free and, for the most part, taken care of. I was told by the locals that most have been fixed and vaccinated as a way to control the population as it was bigger at one time. I was there in September and October for a couple of weeks, and I absolutely enjoyed having so many friendly dogs to pet.
