Sounds about right. I have seen similar markers in California to measure fault line movement on an annual basis, as well as several in Yellowstone for roughly similar reasons. Seems like this is a survey marker to measure distance or alignment.

When I lived in Japan (around 15 years ago, so etiquette might have changed since then) it was common to take the fish off of the rice and dip it in soy sauce, then put it back on the rice bed in instances where it was just placed atop the rice. Likewise, it was perfectly fine to mix wasabi into your soy sauce.

I’ve done things that way since without any overt disdain, so I think these are generally good guidelines, but you can probably get away with doing some things your own way.

I’m assuming British Columbia Canada. Could be wrong though.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s that. I agree people don’t save, and I’m sure there are a myriad of reasons for that, from bills to bad financial planning, but largely saving for retirement is a lost cause. I’ve put 15% in my retirement account since I was 19 and am projected to be short in retirement because the market average return is so close to inflation that my money won’t appreciate significantly enough to retire. Additionally, if I wanted the returns needed to make money on my retirement account I would need to invest in a disproportionate amount in high risk stocks, which isn’t sustainable.

I’ve resigned myself to working until I die with my retirement going to fund my childrens’ 401ks.

That’s not science.

I’m gonna need at least a dozen YouTube videos to really be convinced.

Probably the same reason why I can’t be arsed to “look up” every deranged conspiracy I see on the Internet.

I don’t really but thank you
