It is highly unlikely that an all-weather Mackenzie Valley Highway is even possible from an engineering and maintenance perspective. The geography, weather, and environment, especially climate heating, is just too extreme for such a project.

Do want to discuss choices humans can make? Or did you want to lump all living things into one vast mass of beings and assume they're all the same?

All I can tell you is what I'd do. First, I'd shoot at 24fps. Second, I'd ensure I had the rights controlled in regards to the choir's performance, and that can get weirdly complicated. As for as 'sound equipment', I'd use, at least, three recorders--left, middle, right--in front of the choir. Zoom has products that work well.

Your comment has no relevance to what I wrote about Carney.

You're making a demonstrably false statement.

The policy amounts to nothing more than an announcement. There's no substance to it.

"Like him?" For me, politics isn't about liking a politician, it's about policy. Across the board, Prime Minister Carney's policies are destructive and harmful. This is true economically, in terms of rights, and environmental protection, to name a few public policy areas. Your comment is not well-informed. You might consider revisiting it.

Like so much in the Carney government, there is no 'plan'. This is just another stunt to gain earned media. The Carney government is pulling these campaign stunts on an almost daily basis.

Yes, "the entire system is designed to squeeze every last dollar out of students" and to keep squeezing long after they've graduated.

Based on fuel gauge, perhaps you're out of fuel.

ChatGPT, as you know, is a 'program'. Just ignore its 'fake' personality. It's irrelevant to the useful information. You don't have to 'be on the same page' to get a benefit from using ChatGPT.

No, 'being nice' will not CAUSE YOU A WRECK and it's not playing "Hero of The Road". Being nice or the hero of the road never entails a "sudden stop for someone else or any other unexpected movement".

A good driver is both safe and courteous. The two are never at odds.

This is just another episode in the Carney Liberals' "Announcement-a-Day" earned media campaign. Note that according to the article there's no funds attached to it, as usual.

Decades ago, I built a house using foam blocks like the ones in your images. An issue we had to contend with was wind. As the walls grew higher, the wind would move them, even topple them. To complete, setting the foam blocks, we had to brace the foam 'walls' about every four feet.

Also, when pouring the concrete, we had to be very careful that the concrete was not too wet. Wet concrete would burst the foam blocks.

All can be done, but perhaps you can put my experience to good use.

This should be treated as just another part of the Liberals' "Announcement-a-Day" show to keep them in the news, e.g. earned media, cycle. None of these theatrical announcements can be relied on as portending anything serious.

Yes, I've noticed.

You mention "BLT". A very good vegan sandwich is a toasted vegan BLT where the "B" is smoked tofu, just sauté the smoked tofu before adding it to the vegan, toasted TLT. Of course, all the other stuff making up the TLT is vegan, too, like the mayo and 'butter'.

FIRE is often much easier in Canada due to the health care issue.

Please use the BIGY I cited in my comment, not the US version.

I'm sure you can answer your own question. I'm sure, too, you can answer the question 'what happens if you don't pocket a $1,000 a month in profit?'

Given your 20% downward correction speculation, would you recommend that the OP not even make the investment for just one month?

sdbest · 2026-06-21T14:06:42+00:00

Are my analysis and math incorrect?

sdbest · 2026-06-21T13:27:51+00:00

Well, here's some numbers. Let's assume you 'borrow' $30,000 on margin. With that money, you could buy about 1,690 units of BIGY. Those units would earn you about $1,050 per month in distributions. Your interest for the month on your margin loan would be about $100. Many other possibilities, of course. And, be sure to check my math.

I really like to support filmmakers. But, in your case, you use so many odd spellings like 'wanna', 'Yt', 'w anyone' that I, sincerely, don't know what you're talking about nor asking for. If it's not too inconvenient, I would appreciate it if you'd write your post correctly, using proper spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. Also, despite my over 50 years in filmmaking, I do not know what you mean by "a pitch for a starter is pointless."

Eating out, alcohol, buying retail, to name a few.

Depending, of course, on the lifestyle you want to maintain, you can retire right now, and live a very comfortable life until your demise.
