Yeah, it’s an old map. The spirit still applies, though; just sub in “Poilievre”.
I’m not sure what you mean by Alberta hating Alberta.

It’s kind of subtle how exactly you’re using numbers when writing limits. You’re either not actually doing infinitesimals, just Cauchy sequences centered around a point, or you are and you get to enjoy the axiomatisation of the hyperreals.
Actually, in this case, it’s easily solved. Trying to measure an infinitely complex curve will never halt, answer found.
Instead of grabbing the Azores for UTC -1, France figured it would be easier to just annex all of Portugal. Brazil was reportedly grateful to no longer have a whole extra timezone for that one -2 island, and also glad to hear that they annexed Portugal.
There’s pretty much nothing right along the international date line, regardless of country. If you’re trying to collect them all you better not care about +12 vs -12. As you can see your options are also limited for -1 and -2.
Unrelatedly, I’m curious what the story is with Central vs. Mountain time in Nunavut. That’s quite the wasp-waist for such a vast, mostly empty area.

It also costs as much as Vancouver, while being not Vancouver.
It’s hard to tell if there was a green pixel that just got JPEG’d away. Could be.
But also, maybe? They seem to be unaware there’s other places.
Sort of? “It’s a tiny section of our population” is a pretty legit reason to pay less attention, though.
Sure, but if you measure if a particle is spin up or spin down in a fixed measurement basis, physically rotate the particle, and then measure again the amplitudes change continuously. You could also measure it in another basis, which themselves form a continuous family, and get a similarly logical answer (although not independently of the first one). I don’t know much about quantum field theory, but I do know that fields in it are continuous, just like they are in classical theories.
All in all, while quantum logic is part of what makes it continuous, I think I’d still stand by that it is continuous.
Well, quantum mechanics is continuous, just in a way that often maps to discrete things when measured. I’m sure someone has written a research paper on quantum law, but I wonder if anyone who actually knows quantum mechanics has.
Yes, but non-coastal borders become nice curves at a certain resolution just because they’re legally defined by points.
Coastal borders are legally vague AFAIK, since they’re defined as a nautical mile from “the shore” or something like that, but when you’re already on the ocean a matter of a few meters tends not to matter.
Huh, I can read Canada. I call bullshit on the 2x2 thing, though. This is more like 10x10, otherwise you’d see a lot of smaller communities.
It’s mostly not surprising, but laid out like that I wonder how long places out of the historical spotlight have been that populous. Ethiopia is quasi-historical enough we can be pretty sure it’s long been a center, but the African Great Lakes? Who knows.
The Pharaohs might be gone, but Egypt never stopped being a massive population center.
Oh, well sure. If you allow them to overlap there’s no reason you can’t be in both Northern and Eastern Europe.
I’ve never heard anyone claim the Baltics are not Eastern Europe. Then again, I’m on a different continent.
As for the rest, it’s all down to which side they were on/put in during the Cold War.
And yet few people would argue the same of Murmansk, mostly north of Helsinki. We really need to consider history here, as well. Specifically which side of the iron curtain they were on.
All of central Asia is “Afghanistan?”.
I’m guessing this was an in-the-nutshell style meme, and they just didn’t know enough to sense the ironic oversimplification.
IIRC Calgary has voted pretty blue at times. There’s people here that hate the direction we’ve been going, myself included, but I don’t really think we can claim to be representative.
Good news is, I have trouble imagining a scenario where Nenshi loses the next time around.
