I hope Canada at least pretends to push back.

I'm more interested in the magical appearance of four states in "southeast" Canada than yet another solar eclipse.
Did someone forget to vet the AI's output?
My first thought was "wait, people still think it's psychosomatic?" Then I read the article and realized that they were not referring to people in general, but to actual doctors!
It never fails to amaze -- and annoy! -- me how often simple curiosity and wide-ranging reading leaves me better informed than many actual professionals. It's almost like they got their education and training, then stopped engaging.
Anyway, rant over. I'm glad there are people out there taking things seriously and I hope you continue to meet with success in your treatment.
I used to get occasional work helping farm kids pick rocks. We don't seem to have built any fences in Saskatchewan, preferring instead to just pile them up or bury them.
Never underestimate what happens when thousands of individual people do one thing over and over again, rock by rock, step by step, day in and day out, year after year. Whether it's building fences, depleting resources, or putting waste into the environment, we always manage to more collectively than we can imagine as individuals.
I was not worried about banks at all. Not even a bit. It just seemed too much to hope for that they couldn't get their collective heads around my 25-year mortgage. That mortgage meant that I had negative net worth, so I was actually hoping they'd screw up. Yes, I knew they had paper copies kicking around, but paper gets lost with frightening frequency.
I was a freelance programmer at the time. My main focus was on making sure that none of my contracts left me on the hook for anything Y2K related that wasn't explicitly contracted for.
Assuming a 16-hour day for activity, that's just over a bird a minute. Given the flocking behaviour of many species, that might mean occasional "rainfalls" of dead and injured birds.
No, that's not what I was thinking, but that sounds like a decent idea. Maybe a better idea than just simple labels representing the facing sphere.
However, Mrs Strapp said a solution was still needed to stop possums nesting under solar panels and prevent burns from hot rooftops in the first place.
I can't speak to the hot surfaces, but around here screening the edges of rooftop solar panels is standard procedure to prevent bats and wasps from taking up residence underneath.
That's what 3D printing is for...
I think for maximum uselessness, they should not be overlapping spheres, but deform at the interface, like soap bubbles or rubber balls. As long as the spheres are the same size and modelled with the same "surface tension" or "elasticity", the "intersection" of two sets would then be a circular interface with an area proportional to what would otherwise be an overlap (I think). If the spheres have different sizes or are modelled with different surface tension or elasticity, one would "intrude" into the other.
Multiple sets would have increasingly complex shapes that may or not also create volumes external to the deformed spheres but still surrounded by the various interfaces.
Time to break out the mathematics of bubbles and foam. This data ain't gonna obscure itself!
Might there actually be utility to something like this? Scrunch the spheres together but make invisible everything that is not an interface and label the faces accordingly. I suppose the same could be said of the shape described by overlapping. (Jesus, you'd think I was high or something. Just riffing.)
This is my first exposure to a plain text Venn diagram. Genius.
On the grounds that a big and valuable chunk of territory that is currently being shared shows signs of being unilaterally fenced off. I'm not suggesting that Canada has a better claim, but it's important for procedures to be followed.
Edit: I wanted to get my wording right, so I went back to the article:
