That seems like a pretty unhealthy precedent to set.
Quite so. I believe she is still in Canada. If Canada has any backbone at all, they should refuse to extradite in the wake of these extrajudicial threats.
As a Canadian I'm offended that your dotard in the Oval Office thinks our justice system is just another toy to play with. Pretty sure I speak for about 90% of my fellow Canadians as well.
You should lock him in his playpen, he is an embarrassment to your country.
"Globally catching up to our standard of living" seems to be a constant factor on this planet. Corrected that for you.
Yes, and in spite of the "Oh my God we are all going to die" narrative, I would happily bet money that life expectancies will continue to climb, globally, for a long time to come. Less people will live with food insecurity as each decade passes. More of the earth's population will have sanitation and clean drinking water. More places will have access to reliable energy. There is a long way to go, to be sure, but we have been making strides in these things for hundreds of years and they are not just going to stop or reverse anytime soon, despite every storm and every fire and every flood suddenly being all our fault.
Your children, and your grandchildren, will almost certainly have better standards of living than you do. If that is not true then you are doing something wrong, and that has nothing to do with what you drive.
Generally people are afraid that in one day the shit'll hit the fan. But in reality this will be a slowly rolled out "situation" where we'll all just loathe things, much like today. I mean, if you told someone back in the year 2000, the state that things will be in by 2018, they'd have pictured that as the end of the world. But here we are.
The last 150 years (ie "since global warming") happens to correspond with the greatest improvements in the global human condition in history. I'm not expecting a reverse in that trend anytime soon.
"The long and slender design..." Probably means fewer passengers and a really crappy fuel economy per passenger compared with the wider and slower jets in service.
I have a link to the local radar feed on my phone. It shows a three hour color coded animation with updates every ten minutes. I can guess with excellent accuracy how long till a storm system will hit where I am, you can usually see it coming hours away, how hard it is raining or snowing, if there is hail or it is likely, how long it will take to pass over, or if it is going to be a long term thing, etc. It is not 100 percent, sometimes a storm will veer off or break up at the last minute, occasionally they will form seemingly out of nowhere, but I would say I can tell with about 90 percent accuracy the state of precipitation where I am an hour or two from now. That combined with the daily forecast for temperature and wind is all I need to feel pretty comfortable when I am out biking, boating, golfing, etc.
Having been knocked unconscious and suffering a concussion from being hit by a bicyclist while I was walking I fully understand why they aren't supposed to use pedestrian walkways.
Be happy you are alive. Would you rather be hit by a car? Cyclists on roads routinely die from that around here.

OK, that makes sense. Thanks.
The vote was 52-47 in the senate.

Granted it would be easier in the house and harder in the senate next time around.
they can't try again when the Democrats take over the house?
Maybe all the schools should rename the faculties if they are not turning out engineers.
And if you primarily shop for groceries at Dollar General it keeps Darwin happy.
Yet we are not allowed to be offended that you refer to our President as a dotard in a playpen.
You are totally allowed. We'd think you would be used to it by now.
No it's definitely worse with Trump now. If 24 hours goes by without a story mentioning Trump then something is wrong.
That is because 24 hours never goes by without him doing something retarded.
The President cannot convene a kangaroo court in the US.
That is what Guantanamo is for.....
US can impose its own sanctions.
And the rest of the work can ignore them, and mostly are.

I thought this was going to be another story about climate change.
Yeah, I'm kind of cynical.

about a year ago. Does not take long.

So bad weather is caused by climate change but good weather is just weather.
Got it.
It has exactly as much demonstrable causation as your "OMG we are all gonna die!".

If you believe, you will see signs everywhere.
Skeptics used to be regularly admonished that "Weather is not climate!".
But now every storm, every fire, every flood, every heat wave and every cold spell is "because of climate change".
Funny how that works.
C++ programmers at $15/hr? Written at home or in a cafe? What kind of software is it? Where is the demand for that kind of stuff?
The Internet of Things :-/
These people scare me much more than "climate change" ever will.
You actually like the smell of leather?
Yes, I even sometimes wear it.
My car (not a Ford) is seven years old and I can still smell the leather.
They better not "fix" that.
"The long and slender design..."
Probably means fewer passengers and a really crappy fuel economy per passenger compared with the wider and slower jets in service.
Yes. It probably won't have an economy class.

I'm planning my next move based on people driving normally
Well that is your mistake. I ride with the assumption everyone around me is a complete fuck up. Better safe than sorry.
