I remember getting my first commit into Packer, you review, approved and merged it. It was one of the best days of my (fairly early) coding life because I think your work is amazing and I was so happy to contribute something back.

Thanks for all the amazing work thus far!

Less than half the population of Japan lives in Tokyo.

Living in Japan right now...it's sure been a very bizarre time watching cases in Tokyo go from ~ 1000 in Tokyo down to 300 in about a week with no apparent explanation!

In curious about this, does it snow so heavily for 5 months there would be no way to clear the panels?

I mean they're installed at an angle to start with so how does the snow build up? Could panels not be designed with inbuilt defrosters?

It really has been a frightenly strange winter here in Australia. I remember the first two months of winter here on the east coast feeling like spring, with almost no rain.

Pretty unnerving to be honest!

People pay for meat not from stores because slaughter is a difficult, physically demanding, messy and potentially psychologically distressing job. Not just because "butchers are good at it". All I'm refuting is the statement you made about "people doing it without problems".

Slaughter is outsourced for the same reason people pay nurses to change their sick, elderly parents diapers, it's not a pleasant task. Efficiency might be one reason, but there is more too it.

If you do your research, you will find that in a lot of cultures, taking an animals life was not considered a trivial thing, it had to be done properly, by skilled hunters or butchers, with respect and in some cases, a prayer would have to accompany the task. Take Halal for example.

I've also done quite a bit of travelling and my family also have an agricultural background, so I'm not totally ignorant to the processes and attitudes discussed.

Title should be "Schipol Airport...", I had to make sure it wasn't April 1 yet!!!!
