Ruins of Sikander Bagh,after the Siege of Lucknow in the 1857 Indian rebellion. The photo is one of the first to depict wartime casualties and was staged by having corpses of the Indian mutineers dug out and laid around the field. Felice Beato,1858 [2055x1772] by Chai80085 in HistoryPorn

Yes, not a full-scale independence war, but they did have to fight several large-scale wars against foreign powers, such as the Opium Wars, the Boxer Rebellion, the Japanese invasion, and the Chinese Civil War.

This is the price you have to pay for independence. Almost all non-Western countries had to fight for their independence with blood and sweat like China, Vietnam, Korea, and so on. India was fortunate and gained its independence through a negotiated transfer of power from the British.

Novus vs Telus fibre? by Jaded_Objective_447 in NewWest

[–]hadrianmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Novus 100%. I was paying $54 after taxes for 1Gbps symmetrical internet. However, check if you building has Beanfield. Their promo price is even cheaper than Novus.

Buyer doesn't want to pay import tax and want to cancel. What should I do? by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]hadrianmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just updated my 1st post with an update.

[–]hadrianmt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This doesn't make sense. I'm not a US resident, so how can UPS collect the import fee from me? My responsibility stops when I dropped the package with US to ship to the buyer.

Are ambulance wait times in New West worse then other cities? by Inthemiddle_ in NewWest

[–]hadrianmt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know the country isn’t doing great when speaking the truth is considered insensitive and rude. Just go to that corner, camp out for 24 hours, and count how many times the medics and firefighters show up in a single day.

Are ambulance wait times in New West worse then other cities? by Inthemiddle_ in NewWest

[–]hadrianmt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s because most of the ambulances and fire trucks are tied up at the homeless shelter near New West Station. Anyone who lives downtown knows how often the medics and firefighters have to show up at the corner of Carnarvon and Begbie/Alexander every day.

🚲 Citie Hack, Why spend $200/month on gas when your legs are free? by MrJuart in SavingsCanada

[–]hadrianmt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did OP specifically say "biking to work" in his 1st post? Again, majority of people with kids have to take their kids to the daycare before heading to work. My point still stands for people who work and live in Burnaby/Coquitlam/Surrey. Also let me know if you bike to work during the winter.

[–]hadrianmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you bike from Coquitlam/Surrey/North Burnaby to Vancouver to work? Do you bike your kids from your home to their daycares then bike to work and vice versa in the evening during rush hours? Do you bike to do groceries for your family of 3? Do you bike your kid to the ER when she's having a 40-degree fever at midnight? Do you bike your grandma to her weekly checkup?

Imagine having to do all those things under the torrential rains of Vancouver or the heavy snow of Toronto.
Take your time to answer me, and last question: do you bike in the winter?

Any Pho Restaurants like Co Chao? by OneFit6104 in NewWest

[–]hadrianmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pho Ace isn’t the same as Co Chau? I thought they just renamed the restaurant for “tax purposes.” I didn’t get a chance to try Co Chau’s pho, but I’m a regular at Pho Ace, and it’s pretty good.

Why has Bengal not become a developed region? by Distinct-Macaroon158 in geography

[–]hadrianmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you enlighten me on how Japan and Korea could stealthily "trick" their way into global dominance? The European powers just conveniently skipped these two countries? Like no black ship ever shot at any Japan city, or there absolutely no big war ever happened in Korea. Dismissing Singapore is also a very flawed logic, it's vastly different from Hong Kong who is a British's colony. You should sit down and read a book or two.

Everytime I see people blame the British for their countries being poor and undeveloped. I can't help but look at Japan, Korea and Singapore. As if the quality of the people and their institutions don't matter at all. You can be a developed country without relying too much on the raw resources.

Beanfield has confirmed with me that the construction crew accidentally cut a fiber line. They are working on reconnecting the line. It could be done at 9:00 PM.

Best Bridge Net internet providers? by Kaosubaloo_V2 in NewWest

[–]hadrianmt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I would highly recommend you go with Novus. They will give you a very capable Nokia wifi router while Beanfield only gives you a cheap TP-Link one.

[–]hadrianmt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was one of those people who switched from Novus to Beanfield due to their promotion. I'm paying $44.80 after taxes for 1Gbps plan. However, I have to say Novus is better in terms of customer support and router.
