I don't know about AT&T but if they're anything like my local Telco, they should be hiring people. Wind storm the other week wiped out most of the electric grid, Hydro had it fixed pretty quick, 3 days here, a couple of weeks in the more remote locations. Copper thieves hit here, a couple of days to restore service, and it's not like we had cell for backup. The other week they were telling people end of February before land lines or cell service restored.
Well they haven't changed the law yet. If they get people agreeing, they'll use that to argue against any privacy in the new law. We have until Jan 11th to tell the government our side. of how the law should be updated. https://openmedia.org/
There are privacy laws, which seem to be being weakened. This is why currently Bell has to ask permission. Unluckily our CRTC is like your FCC, run by Telecom shills and they have lobbying power in Parliament. Bell is currently really pushing to get rid of net neutrality and be allowed to block any site they claim facilitates copyright infringement. Then there's the internet tax that is being pushed, anything over 15GBs taxed to make up for the streaming services not paying the artists enough and of course the only reason someone would use over 15GBs a month is to stream. They're not even bothering with the piracy excuse anymore, just need more money "for the artists" which has been the publishers story for 3 hundred years while ripping of the artists.
You do pay for this through your agreement that Google can do whatever they please with your personal data, but that's your choice.
As far as I know, Google keeps that data for their own use as well, unlike other services such as Facebook and, it sounds like Bell, who happily sell it.
So Aslepias sp. is considered a restricted (can't sell seed or other seed contaminated with it) toxic weed in Hawaii. Perhaps you're confusing Cynanchum which is sometimes called climbing milkweed, with the true milkweeds that Monarch's feed on? This is why it is important to use scientific names rather then common names. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
We're still left with your claim that environmentalists put it on the list. Anyways looking more at the Ontario's government sites, it seems it was actually considered poisonous to livestock, especially sheep. I must say that having been a pesticide applicator when young, including getting a (BC) ticket in forestry, Ontario does seem to go crazy with their noxious weeds. Here they're pretty well invasive weeds rather then ones that upset farmers
The province once considered milkweed a noxious weed under the Weed Control Act. Nicoll says it was originally banned because milkweed eaten by dairy cows caused their milk to taste slightly sour.
"It's actually a really pretty plant," she said.
The province dropped milkweed from its noxious weed designation in 2014, Nicoll learned, but Burlington never followed suit. She even started hearing from friends and associates that they were allowed to have the plants in cities as nearby as neighbouring Oakville.
"Then I found out that the city of Burlington gives the plants and the seeds away for free through the parks and rec," she said. "It was confusing they were giving it out for free and telling me to rip mine out."
Where do you get your info? It seems consistently wrong to one degree or another and very slanted such as blaming environmentalists for the dairy farmers lobbying.
Can you actually use Google or DDG to find areas where native Milkweed is a noxious weed? Noxious weed has a legal meaning, basically that there is a requirement to control them.
There are many species of milkweed native to North America and while “weed” is part of their name, these milkweeds are native, beneficial wildflowers. In the U.S., neither the federal government nor any states list milkweeds as noxious weeds. In fact at least five species are listed as state or federal endangered species (Borders, LeeMäder 2014). According to the North American Invasive Species Network, an invasive species is “a non-native species...whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic harm, environmental harm, or harm to human health.” The invasiveness of any plant depends on the characteristics of the species and where it is planted. Some species of milkweed, like common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), have a tendency to be more aggressive in garden settings or disturbed areas, and thus have a reputation of being “weedy”. If you are concerned about milkweed spreading too much, choose species that are native to your area, and avoid species that are particularly good at vegetative, clonal reproduction or are prolific seed producers. Local garden centers, Master Gardeners or Master Naturalists, and other conservation authorities can help you choose the most appropriate native milkweed species to plant in your setting.
Lots of other sites say much the same thing, though it is listed as a noxious weed in a few places such as parts of Minnesota and Ontario. Generally noxious weeds are not native, which is why they're a problem.
Sure, just have to use the profits to screw the competition. In this case, get rid of net neutrality and make streaming such a bad experience that people won't have a choice. Depends on being a monopoly or working closely with the other company.
Yea, when I first drove the diesel after little gas engines, the power curve felt so backwards with tons of bottom end quickly fading away as rpms went up. Unluckily when you've only got a few horses (IIRC, 70 in that motor), you want minimal loses. It was cheap to run though, 40 mpg (imperial)
The water was usually the limiting consumable on steam engines, especially early ones so rather then going from gas station or rather coaling station to station, it was water source to water source when planning a route.
I accidentally bought a couple of those at the thrift store. Ripped fine, though they did take a bit longer due to jitter. That might have just been scratches. But then I don't run Windows and if I did, I'd have autoplay turned off. They're just multi-session.
Well, if the company fails to warn about the dangers, they'd be liable. The standard warning from the store clerk, IIRC, is along the lines of read the package and follow directions exactly and for many of those products, the directions include not getting it on your skin, in your eyes, don't ingest and wash afterwards. Pesticides like Safers Soap probably don't contain much in the way of warnings.
a Californian jury found that Monsanto knew its Roundup and RangerPro weedkillers were dangerous and failed to warn consumers.
If he is actually mentally ill, it's hard to imagine jail or a large fine curing him. Unluckily it seems society has chosen to treat mental illness as criminal.
I loved my diesel when i owned one, but one thing it severely lacked was bottom end torque. Had to get that motor spinning over a grand before it hit its power curve.
A grand is great, though. If your standard is steam, sure that seems high, but if it's gasoline then that's incredibly low. Even turbo gassers tend to not come on until at least 1500 or so.
Truck never had a tach so I'm not sure how much over a grand. What I do know is trying to get moving on a steep hill with a load was a clutch killer. Once moving, that little truck just kept going. It was only a 2.5 litre and really needed a granny gear as well as another overdrive one.
I loved my diesel when i owned one, but one thing it severely lacked was bottom end torque. Had to get that motor spinning over a grand before it hit its power curve. Now steam, 1000+lbs of torque at zero rpm, 0-75 in 5-10 secs (wiki quotes 10, another site, 5, but that might have been Hughes's souped up one) doing 900 rpm at 75. 1500 miles to a tank of water. Drawbacks included that 30 seconds warm up, high periodic maintenance and a price close to $20,000 when a Ford cost $400. Quieter then a Telsa too. https://www.hemmings.com/magaz... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Good point. Guess it depends on how much coal they have in the bed. Of course a good steam motor might be able to out torque a Tesla. The last ones produced had over 1000 ft-lbs at zero rpm. If they had one on each wheel...

Hey, they need to break last years record.
I'll add for all the Canadians, that we have until Jan 11th to make submissions on the future of the Internet.

The way i remember it, the shutdowns were all done in the name of austerity. Couldn't afford mental health and an easy thing to cut out of the budget.

If someone put up unreasonable speed limit signs on the road and the owner ignored those signs, I'd think they'd be liable.
You ever buy pesticides? Around here, they always warn you about the dangers and once they've warned you, you're liable, not them.

Need traction as well as torque.
