And ironically, similar populations. California is 1.1x Canada's population.

Not similar GDP though :( California is 2.2x Canada's GDP.

I spent some time project managing a company that did exterior cladding, and I'll avoid wood like the plague for the rest of my life.

Concrete has the huge advantage of not growing mould if you screw up building envelope.

At least, that's my justification for simply liking the aesthetics of masonry over wood construction.

Im assuming you mean CA being the two letter state code for California.

Not the two letter country abbreviation for Canada.

IANAL but the impression I get is that loosely defined terms like "tamper" can be interpreted in many different contexts depending on how eager the prosecutor is.

Falsifying your identity to a federal postal service to gain access to someone else's mail? That breaks a wide range of laws

Sync up player movements to a humanoid robot and have the killed animal sold to a meat processor.

You could create a drone flight simulator with a Pokemon UI to "capture" the animal and return it.

Not only this, but the levels of herbicides+pesticides in grocery-store brand teas is apparently terrible.

I've had a friend who worked at a chemical testing lab for a grocery chain who flat out stopped drinking tea - even organic certified - after running the tests for the client. Every single brand tested positive for quantities a trained biochemist wasn't comfortable with.

I can't imagine how bad concentrated extracts are.

This.

Valid point about projecting my own feelings.

I was more trying to make a point that if you're writing a guide or tutorial, actually start from the beginning.

As a beginner, I have no idea what docker is.

This is one of the most frustrating parts of learning ANY language. The assumed knowledge and supposed "here's a quick start guide" actually starts on step 8.

Don't assume the beginner knows what docker is.

Don't assume the beginner knows what a shell is.

I've tried to learn 3-4 languages or frameworks over the years, and I have only a vague idea of how to move between directories in the command prompt. Nevermind where I should download or extract files.

I've found people's attitude when I tell them this is dismissive. But I sold a business for 6 figures last year that was parimarily automation scripts in PHP. Figure that one out.

I wouldn't call in "only cares" but certainly "rallies around" more than usual.

Homicides in the general population happen regularly and are taken seriously, but if a cop is murdered? That's next-level enforcement.

Humans naturally band together to protect a tribe they're a part of. Modern tribes revolve around work.
