They've really had a bad reputation. Poor treatment of employees amongst the others mentioned here.

I still don't think I'll ever recommend TD to anyone.

While it doesn't really apply to bamboo, this is kind of the way hedgerows are laid. The main trunk of the "tree" is cut most of the way through (called a pleacher), then laid on its side. New growth then sprouts from both the laid trunk, still getting nutrients from the stump, and the stump itself.

Check out coppice if you're more interested. It's pretty amazing what trees can do.

I love my electric yard gear. I've got an EGO mower, string trimmer, leaf blower, and 2 stage snow blower. So much quieter and lighter than any gas versions.

The only fueled yard appliance I use is a neighbour's riding mower because I've got an acre to mow (I know, not terribly eco friendly, but there's minimal non-natural intervention. EGO's got a riding mower, but it's a small town and it doesn't make sense for everyone on the block to have their own machine they use once every week or two.

Passing with dignity and on your own terms? Sign me up (when the time comes). I know a provider who does these. Death is often a very sad thing, but in the medical field transitioning to providing this service as comfort, rather than simply preserving life of any definition, it can be a loving, even more celebratory event.

She put it simply, "would you want your last words to be 'I love you,' or 'I can't breathe'?" You can be a vegetable in a hospital bed, or you can be in your favorite chair at home, listening to your favorite music, with friends and family by your side. I know which option I'd take if I am fortunate to get to choose.

Of all the terrible things Saskatchewan has, Sasktel is a shining beacon of what relatively decent telecoms could be. We all just hope our shit government doesn't bow to their corporate overlords and sell it, as they had explored doing in the past.
