Come to Canada bro,
The one positive about this tundra like climate is that water from a tap
still tastes like water.

this somewhat reminds me of the people saying "it might be just a
periodical climate change!" when trying to make global warming look like
a conspiracy theory, and not a factual and measured thickening of the
atmosphere that's slowly killing the environmental parameters that keep
us alive.
even if it's FUD (of which I'm not generally a fan), I'm glad it's going
the way it is right now, people need to start being concerned about
this, and please don't tell me that the situation planned for consumers
is fine just because it's slightly different from how it's portraied in
some dramatizing articles, vista, hdcp and all related stuff is pure
consumer abuse.
28 years ago one person in the usa senate was saying "20 years from now
you might have to buy your water in small bottles rather then receiving
it home", and was branded as a dramatizing madman. When was the last
time you drank water from the tap in cali that doesn't taste like
licking the bottom of a drained swimming pool?
