According to http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/en... Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Minnesota. Seems that it is toxic to livestock. Does Milkweed even grow in the west? I don't think I've seen it here in BC. Strangely, there seemed to be an unusual number of monarchs here in SW BC. Usually just see the odd one, this year they seemed to be everywhere in late spring, never saw so many. I don't know if ours migrate or not.
Is there any obvious predictions that Arp makes that current theories fail at? Einsteins relativity for example predicted where Mercury would be in its orbit in a year, something that Newtons theory failed at.
I particularly like how he put some of the worst stuff from the TPP into NAFTA2, knowing his base would be fine with it. Other then that, well he did delay GM closing a bunch of plants until the CUSMA was sure to be signed. Note that GM isn't closing any Mexican plants, instead they'll ramp up production down there and pay the small penalties for under paying the Mexican workers. And considering how well America has done on the ISDS shit, why would you or Trump want it removed?
At times, those Roman coins were pretty debased. While having collector value, those don't have much intrinsic value. Even the silver coins I saved as a kid, a dime had the face value of a chocolate bar, 2-2.5 chocolate bars in silver value. That silver dime is worth about half a chocolate bar now.
From what I remember, one of the nails in his theory is the lack of blue shifted objects. Basically ejections should happen in every direction, not just away from us and I don't know of any blue shifted objects beyond the local group. Extraordinary claims need lots of evidence.
Hmm, just gets in a loop asking for my postal code. Doesn't matter as the cable stops about 5 miles down the road and due to rocky ground and fish bearing creeks, will never come here. Telus was supposed to string fibre here, but opted to just stick in a cell tower, which was needed but fibre sure would have been nice.
Here in BC, there doesn't seem to be any alternate ISP's that use Telus's or Shaw's infrastructure. Possibly they're just hiding and since I'm rural, I haven't come across them. Usually these conversations talk about Ontario and Quebec where there seems to be competition like TekSavvy or your provider. I'm rural enough (hour out of Vancouver with good traffic) that my only choice (due to mountains and stuff) is LTE, and that only became available last year. So perhaps I just haven't been paying attention. Even your deal would be laughed at in much of the world, though I would love to have unlimited at your price, even with my current speeds (5-25 down usually about 15, 1-3 up depending on weather and time of day with a 250GB limit for about a $100 a month).
Like many laws, depends on use. Other examples include that Captain of the Italian cruise ship that ran aground being sent to prison for not making sure the passengers were safe before he left the ship. And even the law about yielding to a pedestrian, even if they're unimportant, or using a handicapped space instead of letting an unimportant cripple use it. While you're right that ideally laws shouldn't force people to act civilized, unluckily there is a whole class of self-important assholes who will abuse others, often without thinking, because they feel more important then their fellow human beings.
I'm in Canada, a country even worse then the USA when it comes to this stuff. The problem is that basically there's the phone company and the cable company for competition. Seems that when there is 3 or less competitors in a market, it's not so much that they collude, just don't compete. ISP A raises its price, ISP B sees this and thinks, "good idea" and raises its price. Infrastructure is expensive and the phone and cable companies don't share their wires.
Friend of mine has a '87 Nissan truck, one of the first built in the USA. It's all metric accepting perhaps the wheel lug nuts. At that, my '98 Ford seems to be all metric accepting once again, the wheel nuts. Still the Americans screw it up, my Japanese trucks only used a few common sizes, 8,10,12,14,17,19mm basically covered most everything. My Ford uses, 7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,18 at least. Some of these sizes I didn't even own such as the 16 which wasn't in many sets.
5 speed? That's what my '98 has, along with the V6 so avoiding the usual problems at 200,000 (actually 300,000 km here) of failing tranny and blown head gasket, besides the fun of doing a simple tuneup on the V8's (and plugs blowing out of the 5.4l). A few also came with the E104D or whatever the number was, tranny. That one would last forever if you stopped before putting it in reverse (adding the OD weakened the reverse). Also watch those brake lines, Ford uses crap metal in them, or did. The Japanese trucks I owned usually rusted out at about 400,000 kms.
Which is usually when the trannies go. I've got one with a 5 speed and 420,000 kms on it. I've also known of quite a few, including my last one that lost their capability to move at just under 300,000 kms due to tranny problems, and like so many modern cars, replacing the tranny is an unreasonably large job, as in the first step is remove cab. After driving Japanese trucks, having something that dies at 300,000 kms is quite a let down, and having worked on both, all I can say is "what the fuck were those Ford engineers smoking?". First F150 I owned kept blowing its brake light fuse, finally traced it down to the brake light wire running up the steering column, through the little u-joint, where turning the wheels rubbed the insulation off. Fixing that was fun, steps like remove the plug from this wiring harness, keeping track of which of the 20 odd wires went to which pin, then pull the wires through the column. Couldn't even wrap them all into one bundle either.
Attempting to work on any new vehicle has become insane, between the computer buses being overloaded with stuff causing a bad radio to stop the vehicle running to spark plugs that need the engine pulled to replace or just read about the latest Toyota Truck where you had to remove the top of the engine to replace the starter. Even that F150 I had that lost its tranny, had the rear plugs so far under the cab that they were almost impossible to work on and you really needed a $500 tool around for when the plugs broke when removing (carbon with plugs longer then the threads).
Actually any government seems to go bad after 8-10 years. They get complacent at the minimum. As the saying goes, government is like diapers, need to be changed regularly due to being full of shit.
Geology - the study of inner structure of Earth. "Geo" from "Gaia". Areology - the study of the inner structure of Mars. "Are" from "Ares". Hesperology - the study of the inner structure of Venus. "Hesper" from "Hesperus"...
Planetary geology, alternatively known as astrogeology or exogeology, is a planetary science discipline concerned with the geology of the celestial bodies such as the planets and their moons, asteroids, comets, and meteorites.[1][2] Although the geo- prefix typically indicates topics of or relating to the Earth, planetary geology is named as such for historical and convenience reasons; applying geological science to other planetary bodies. Due to the types of investigations involved, it is also closely linked with Earth-based geology.
It's the direction that we seem to be going. Sure the Chinese are leading, but there are totalitarians in every country and they're usually successful, due to not giving a shit about others. As for how far companies can go, research the E. India Company or some of the companies in 19th century America, who did work with the government to have camps, though not like the prison industry has now, and didn't care about executing people who were in their way or disobedient. Of course these people were usually the wrong stock, natives in the way or black people who didn't appreciate being "volunteered" to labor. Authoritarians are authoritarians, no matter what they say, and I'd prefer to avoid giving them too much power as there are too many examples in history of things going really bad, often with good intentions.
Not much different then the only information services company in your area cuts you off so you can't buy groceries, though I guess being a company makes it fine as their freedom is more important then you eating.
I hope that is a typo, or you're renting out mansions as a 2 million a year income to rent the average place seems a bit high. Even at 4x and a really cheap place means making well over a hundred grand a year, at least around here. Anyways, I was thinking of the more institutionalized rental companies rather then individuals.
Be much better in the west where it'll give the information services (who luckily got rid of that horrible requirement to serve everyone eqully that they had as telecommunications services) full control, along with whoever they share it with, such as your employer, your insurance provider, the government who won't be limited by that piece of paper called a Bill of Rights and anyone else willing to pay
Sure there are advantages, the telecommunications or I guess now, the information services get more money as well as a lot of power as they can cut you off on a whim and you're more dependent on them. There are more middlemen getting rich by taking a cut from your purchases. People like Zuckerburg can become richer. Employers, landlords and such can have more info to weed out people for daft things like not posting enough on social media. It becomes even easier for the government to spy on its citizens without worrying about crap like its citizens rights. People will make more impulse purchases, often going into debt because they're now more divorced from the disgust factor of parting with their money. Shame there isn't really any actual advantages for the average person unless you consider having a flat battery in your phone stopping you from buying groceries an advantage.

The law doesn't exist to force people to sacrifice themselves for others as if they should value those others more highly than themselves!
Never heard of the draft I guess.
So you don't mind your ISP blocking sites for political reasons, especially if your few choices are all blocking the same sites?
It is generous, I'd have to pay 25 cents a MB if I go over my 250GB limit here in BC.

Yea, I've lost track of which interface I'm using, it works well with only allowing a minimum number of scripts. Lots of variables.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
We used to use words like seleneology and aresology, and then decided to simply to use geology, even when not on the Earth. Language evolves.
