Think you forgot to hit the "post anonymously" button in your little tirade. Especially since your line of broken reasoning is just like all those whiny trolls who've spouted the same crap as you.
A high quality gaming machine that could compete with the PS4 will set you back well over $1000.
I think you mean it will cost you $500 or so. It was even cheaper a few years ago before the change to DDR4, and prior to the gigantic clusterfuck with mining that drove video card prices through the roof. And the prices are coming down rather quickly, on top of that you're already setup for the next-gen titles and if you have a dislike of windows, you can take your pick of any 'nix variety. Especially since nearly all upcoming titles support vulkan out of the box.
And you don't get the PSVR which is relatively cheap and a perfectly decent intro to modern VR gaming.
Considering VR is such a tiny minority of gaming ranking on par with 3D TV, I don't think that's an issue for most people.
And if they want to censor it, it wins over parents. There's a reason Nintendo is doing so well.
That's not the reason they're censoring. And nintendo has been selling adult themed games for quite a while. Give you a single reason why Sony is censoring: They moved the HQ from Japan, to San Francisco and the old CEO that supported everything under the sun quit.
Nothing is stopping independent developers from making whatever games they want and releasing them however they want for the PC.
Mostly true. Until you discover the legions of western feminists, numale allies, and various review sites that are so prudish they make the 1910's look progressive. And if you don't think so, then just look at the reviews that the 'mainstream' sites push, crying over things like cleavage, bellybuttons, and the absolute moaning over the 'golden ratio' for thigh high to skirt length, and how much they echo the bullshit coming off of regressive sites like resetera.
Well why don't we get some progressives and environmentalists in here. Then we can watch as a scientist disputes their data, and the university cans them for not backing down due to their outcry. And then we can get into the really shit crap from ~40 years ago when they(progressives, environmentalists, NGO's like greenpeace, sierra club, etc) were complaining about paper bags and how cutting down sustainable forestry is "really bad" for the environment and how we should all switch to plastic.
Your 100km radius wind is blowing from Asia? Have you ever seen a map?
Considering we can track particulate fallout from China ever-belching industrial cities ending up in Southern Ontario, which is far more then 100km(much closer to 6700km) away, yes. You do understand how the jet stream and upper-level winds work don't you?
Have you got an example of a nuclear plant that took 25 years just to get through the regulatory process?
Chalk Lake's replacement medical reactor has been held up for around 30 years at this point. And at this point it's "still in the planning stages" with other reactors(think it's darlington here in Canada and for the US) covering isotope shortages for nuclear medicine. The cost overruns because of NIMBY's and environmental groups has gone on so long that the reactor would never be profitable even at a 100 year license. And it's groups like Greenpeace and the Sierra Club that tried blocking the move of isotope production for nuclear medicine to another reactor when it was shutdown in Mar. 2018.
Bullshit it doesn't. NIMBY was the reason that the research reactor at the University of Toronto was shut down. NIMBY was the same reason that Chalk Lake's replacement reactor is still not up and running. NIMBY was the same reason the Ontario Liberal Party(see gas plant scandal) shut down a multi-cycle natural gas power plant. NIMBY was the same reason for the literal decade long public hearings over refurbishment of Bruce and Pickering Nuclear.
The "generation costs" are so insane because environmental regulations have become absolutely insane. At what point does 11 environmental impact studies all saying the same thing become excessive? Not even going to get started on the bullshit in dealing with the courts when ALL parties have agreed to something, and xyz funded group from another country flings up yet another lawsuit in order to stop it.
Tell me something, why were there names on the public hearings for the replacement of Chalk Lake from South America, China, Australia, US. Except to gum up the process, especially after reporters went to ask the people if they'd intentionally signed up to make their voices heard(then later tracked back to a far-left anti-nuke group in the US). Why was that same type of bullshit happening with with multiple pipelines in Canada, with non-citizens names appearing on the public hearing lists. And the exact same thing happening - they didn't sign up. But a group they'd either supported or once funded through donations signed them up on their behalf. With the explicit reason to gunk up the public process.
The funny thing is, at 0.30kWh that stills beats out wind and solar here in Canada. And because those environmental costs drive the price of nuclear up and through the roof, guess what happens? If you said nothing, you're wrong. Just take a look at Germany, where they're now referbing coal power plants and rushing them back into public service because of serious base load issues, and because the existing innerconnects cannot supply enough power.
The Thrawn trilogy is shit? Who knew. Never mind that everyone's favorite TIE and X-wing games of ~20 years ago were made around all that cannon material or anything...
The cop would have been the one to choose the charge. The judge just rules on it. I suspect the cop went for the bigger offence.
That's wrong. In Canada the cop can lay the initial charge, the crown however can lay additional charges or modify the existing charge if the wrong one was laid.
How can you use a single earbud for hands-free communications if operating a cell phone (which includes having an earbud in) is distracted driving?
I don't know about you, but my car an cellphone both can be operated without even touching it. Pretty much any vehicle with any type of console system has had that support for the last 4-5 years.
I imagine the intent of the law is that you shouldn't have your phone in your hand. A single earbud connected to a phone you're not touching is fine. But the judge went and screwed that up....
Nope. BC provincial regs and laws state you can only have one ear in use leaving the other free to hear the environment around you. If the judge really did screw up then the guy on appeal will have his chance to prove it, though I wouldn't expect it to go any further then the BC appeals court that is if they even want to hear the case. Especially with the 8k odd cases that are already in front of them, with some of them getting very close to falling in the realm of charter breaches.
Keep in mind with Canada, we have a unified federal law for felonies(indictable offence) that are the same all across the country. Then there are provincial laws regarding areas that are permitted under the original British North American Act, like bylaws, provincial laws regarding traffic, signage, education, etc. To be honest, the guy should be lucky he didn't get hit with a federal charge like "dangerous operation of a motor vehicle" which is what it falls into as well.
That's certainly the narrative. I'd bet the reality is "the chans saw this as a wonderful opportunity to troll, plus some actual white nationalists (who were also channers).".
Don't worry, the media is currently all over the rainbow clowns(honkhonk) are really a white nationalist and neo-nazi symbol.
The reality is, youtube doing this proves both sides right. YT is censoring some views(politically correct or not) and thus validating it. And the opposing side is "see look at all that hate! They were right!" Pure accelerationism all the way down, looks like the NZ nut was spot on.
You're right the automakers wouldn't want this, because it would mean that they'd gain liability if someone started a vehicle while the driver is drunk. The technology on "drunk breath, no start" has worked very well here in Canada. It's not flawed either and doesn't have the issues that roadside tests have.
Cats are as trivial to train as dogs, it's not so much a pack instinct as not understanding the reward mechanism is different between the two. Then again you'll hear people say that goats, horses, sheep, pigs and so on can't be trained. They can be and easily, again it's the reward mechanism that you have to understand. And then you can get into the various sub breeds of various animals that have a natural reward instinct like with various sheep dogs or retrievers. A sheep dog is just as happy herding animals as they are herding small kids, but also can tell the difference and will absolutely put up with more abuse from a small kid yanking their ears or tail then a sheep or goat taking a nip at them.
Two options: There's EA especially with their attempts to push gaming as a service. No other company has gone all-in on that level but them. The other possibility is Sony, since they're also trying to go in that direction.
In EA's case it's likely in response to multiple fuckups relating to game titles over the last year, and their absolutely dismal performance. During EA's 2018Q3 report they were pinning their hopes on Anthem to drag them out of the dirt, it didn't. The gaming media sucking their dick didn't help them either, and the developer comments and whatnot that were "not on record" seem to show that high-up interference as well as a desire to pander to particular groups of people for socjus points has permeated multiple titles. Leaving a lot of long-term fans wondering just what the hell is going on.
In Sony's case, I think it's far too soon for this to have hit the papers in any meaningful force. Since they've only just changed "how" retail sales have changed, restricting the ability to redeem keys bought online and whatnot. And they've only started to go in on the censorship/regressive politically correct bullshit since they relocated their HQ to San Fran. Expect more of it in the future, providing it doesn't put a stake into the company itself.
No, I can't, perhaps they don't exist, but the reports say that opportunity costs are the primary reason for partial vaccination. That is, parents are too busy working.
So I guess that sure explains why parents can sign a waiver to grant a public health nurse the ability to give a vaccination right? I mean that's only been an option for oh 15 years or so across most of Canada.
Perhaps you just misread something.
Don't worry AC. If I actually misread something, you'd be crowing about it in any form except as a AC. Perhaps it's your inability to read that's stunting your ability to reason things out.
You do that a lot. Remember when you were confused about who did what in Alberta?
You mean that thing where I said the NDP were closing down coal power plants then, an AC kept screaming that it was really the PC party? Yes. I do indeed remember that.
You're making the assumption that a person is smart based on their greater educational attainment, instead of understanding that the person is good at memorization and returning rote answers. Smart is a whole different ballgame. The funny thing with your plumber, is they probably have a better grasp of climate then your average/. does. Because one of the key points is understanding frost and heave information for laying pipelines for example.
The whole "but it's too many vaccinations" bit is pretty stupid. If anything, the whole mass "everything must be sterile, wrapped in a bubble and protected along with air tight homes" has done far more damage to a persons ability to fight off infections. Think of it this way, an urban kids immune system in some countries is so weak that doctors actually recommend sending them to "go play on a farm" for a week or two. Or be repeatedly exposed to barn air before their 1st birth day for a total time of 6 weeks.
Don't know about you, but that hay-cowshit-freshly tossed oat smell is something special. Kinda like how smelling a campfire triggers that spot in your brain that says "safety."
Is that really true? Country kids are much more likely to be vaccinated than city kids?
I can't speak for the US, but in Canada it's around 93% rural vaccinated vs 61% urban. Got a bit different a few years ago when the laws got changed that if you have a kid in public school they must be vaccinated here in Ontario. There was a huge outbreak of measles and chickenpox in the Ottawa/Hull area a few years ago, basically one year after the other. Only 13% of the kids were vaccinated, all of their parents worked in government, or education, or were in various specialty areas relating to government work(NGO's and such). And all of those kids attended private schools. You can dig up the articles on it from the globe and mail, or ottawa times if you're really interested in it.
Personally having had chickenpox during the big outbreak back in the 1980's, I sure as hell wished that the vaccine was covered by OHIP at the time instead of being $400/pop(about $850 today). Something my parents couldn't afford. Seeing the reactivation of it in shingles with my grandparents was pretty bad, my one grandmothers reaction was bad enough it put her into the hospital.
Affluent parents are also much more likely to be home schooled and vaccination optional
Think you meant to say affluent parents kids are more likely to be sent to private schools, where vaccinations can be optional. In Canada, you're more likely to home school especially if you're on the poorer end of the scale as well.
That of course seems to be the response from the people who spout the "right wingers never listen to anyone but their echo chamber" types.
Hell in the last week with the bullshit surrounding the liberals and snc-lavalin, I've heard lefties say "it doesn't matter if it's true. Wayburn should never have broken ranks and simply covered up the corruption."
So why is the anti-vaxxer movement so heavily tied in many countries to the especially affluent, highly educated? They wouldn't get where they are lacking critical thinking skills and/or logical reasoning ability. Hell there's massive swaths of people teaching in universities(i.e. subject expert professors) here in Canada, and they're the core demographic of the anti-vaxxer movement.
Here's my guess. They've become so specialized in the areas that they teach, that they've become literal retards outside of it. It's why you'll see country kids vaccinated, and city kids not. Kids who grew up in small towns vaccinated, but the kids in major urban areas where government, science, and various specialty sectors live, not. We grew up with various diseases that would threaten animals like turkeys, chickens, pigs, cows, and so on. And know just how much vaccinating can make a difference. The urbanites on the other hand don't, have never seen it, it's especially bad with the "but food comes from the supermarket" lot.
Your point about losing face is right, but it has far more. Listen to an educated anti-vaxxer go on about how they "know" they're right, because of their education.
All of Canada was under glaciation in the last ice sheet. All of it. The warm-water stream up along the east coast of the US to the UK makes such a fundamentally huge difference that it shouldn't be a surprise either, it also explains why half of Europe wasn't under the ice sheet, or most of Russia.
Youtube doesn't know what it wants, except to be the next TV. Same echo chamber all the time. The problem that youtube has is that the CEO has no clue, in turn it's directionless. It only reacts to the actions of others, and then over-reacts as a correction. The media will line up an attack like Pewdiepie is a neo-nazi, or jontron is a nazi, xyz thing is extremist(but actually isn't). But then spend years ignoring terrorist organizations posting snuff, and glory to allah for throwing gays off rooftops propaganda.
Ooos, did i say we dont need you saving the world? I meant exploiting s/saving/exploiting
Funny, it sure looks like you need the Americans to do that for you. You can't even keep ships safe from pirates in your own territorial waters, and go running to either Japan, S.Korea or the US who all have a regional defense agreement with each other to cover the that type of stuff.
But, exploiting hmm. Well, considering westerners were using sanitation 500 years ago and you're still dumping untreated shit and piss directly into the streets. I'd say you should be happy that someone is taking care of the issues you have, so you can actually fix your country.
