Well you'd be stupid to say where craft are launching sorties from unless it's in your and the host countries best interest. Otherwise you're painting a target on their back.
Considering that the Charles de Gaul is currently on route to or is pounding IS targets in Iraq, and is capable of upwards of 30 sorties a day with their current pilot status, they could easily shift assets.
What a bunch of whining. You actually remind me of English-speaking people who travel to SE-Asia then whine and complain because it's not like the place they just left.
The fact is that virtually ALL of the "leftist" people I know decry this stuff and none of them defend any of it, period.
You're not far left enough that's why. The far left are already falling all over themselves to whine and complain that it stole the spotlight from Mizzou or how it's not really a problem with Islam, but a problem with the west and how if we really weren't racists this wouldn't have happened.
it's $199 retail. when you buy a new computer the included windows license costs your OEM a lot less. more like $50 or less depending on volume and discounts
You don't even need a new computer, OEM licenses apply to hardware alone. Meaning you can buy a dvd/bluray drive/stick of ram/etc and be covered as OEM hardware. People have been doing the oem+hardware bit since the '90's. You can also find cheap keys on various software trading forums, or you can wait for MS to offer the el-cheapo OS upgrade, like they did with Win8. Lot of people I know who pirated Win7, went legit with Win8 because they could buy the upgrade for $9-15USD.
People were saying this about banking apps back in the 1990's, especially the ones where the bank provided you with their own dial-in service, and password information was communicated non-encrypted or stored in plain text on the users PC.
Is this the case? I mean, every time I put my phone in my pocket, it cleans off my screen including the fingerprint sensor. I do that explicitly too, at least once a day too.
Sure, since you probably forget to clean the underside of the back panel and battery as well. Your fingerprints are likely on there somewhere, and if someone really wants your print and device and you are careful they'll likely follow you and wait for you to leave something behind that'll give a great print. Like a piece of paper, glass, can, other portable hard surface or even go digging through your trash for it.
Well you are talking about the UK, the same country that let 1000 girls be groomed and raped over several because of the fear of being labeled "racist."
Considering the amount of garbage that gets posted without fact(see this) checking at all, then doubles down on the stuff that is real(see peeple), but then tell you it's okay and really won't hurt you should tell folks that something is really, really, really, screwed up in the media.
Well, if models can't even predict past weather or climate to which there is an existing record for they sure can't predict future weather let alone climate.
It's an interesting read. Industrial farming does take place but it's not as much as people seem to think nor is it on the rise.
Reminds me of some idiots who were protesting in my county about industrial farming and all that. There are very few that do it, and despite the land being available most of it is cut into 200-400 acres and are still family run, long as you're willing to make a run at it even here in the green belt of Ontario, you can pick up 300 acres for 300-400k. At least here 90% of the farms are still family owned, and it's such a big business that there are chicken, turkey, and cattle slaughterhouses that are supported on the people here. Though there was a big downturn oh 20 years ago or so, lot of places that were teetering ended up being foreclosed on lot of the places that did grain silo storage were also shut down.
I love the talking points, those are pretty good. Of course one has to remember that Revenue Canada bloated in size. And those invesigations into "left wing non-profits" was because in Canada we have electioneering laws which say you can't use more than 10% of your funds in political acitivism. Several were caught saying on TV and the print media that they used more, that some were getting special funding from the US which is...illegal. And of strange, I have yet to find out where people couldn't figure out where to vote properly because of cutting back at elections canada.
Oh you want a good one with the military? How about those Sea Kings and the replacement helicopters. You know we're still using those Sea Kings even though most of them are now flying death traps, but it was the Liberals(you know the same party that just got elected) who killed the replacement plan. You can't forget about the C130's either, which are our primary method of moving troops and equipment. Did you forget to mention that under the liberals that the funding for the military was cut back so far that when the conservatives came into office back in 2000ish, that they were considered flying death traps? That members of the airforce were doing repairs to them, using their own money out of pocket. Though both governments have fucked up badly with injured vets no doubt on it. A huge propaganda dept? That one's special, did you miss Ad Scam. Though I haven't seen said ads saying that spying on citizens and disagreement is wrong politics.
But you want a really big mess? How about under Pierre Trudeau(Liberals), who implemented wage and price controls screwed up the economy so badly that we officially had hyper inflation and to boot interest rates peaked at just shy of 30%. When Mulroney came in, he inherited a mess and actually scarified his political party to fix it. Including getting rid of the 8-12% manufactures tax with a 7% GST but that was unpopular for some reason. Got the budget under control, and the Chretien promptly pissed it up against the wall, and used things like EI, and other management funds to balance the budget. Of course under the Liberals they were also the ones that changed the laws so companies they could take money out of the private pension plans, leaving them underfunded.
If you think Harper has been the worse PM we've ever had you're still pretty young.
So is the group "women who have made false accusations of harassment" or "women in general"?
Because if the group is "women who have made false accusations of harassment and have refused to accept responsibility" sure - I have no problem with saying that "women who have made false accusations of harassment and have failed to accept responsibility" should be publicly outed.
But if you're saying "women in general" should be lumped in, then holy shit, you're insane. No one should have to apologize or accept responsibility for anyone's actions but their own or those that they are directly in control of/have authority over. I personally refuse to take responsibility for stupid behavior because some people in my demographic bucket behave poorly, and even more so, fuck anyone who says that I am obligated to say "I don't like that behavior!" when someone in my demographic bucket behaves poorly.
Further, if you're endorsing the "women in general" notion - then the exact same reasoning holds true for men.
So please, be clear: who bears the responsibility, in your opinion? Women who make false accusations of harassment or women in general?
Oh I'd agree with that, but there's a problem. While true that the group and women along with men responsible should be publicly held account, the problem is, there's an entire stream of radical feminism out there that blames all men for this, and have an incredible hate-on for them. This is where this problem originates from. This is why there are groups like this setting frame-ups, that's why you're seeing things like the UVA rape hoax. And in both cases, these individuals their followers, among others are claiming that an entire spectrum of people have collective guilt over it.
So, I suppose that means there's an entire group of women along with ideology out there that you could claim is batshit insane. And while you're correct, that no one should have to accept responsibility for the actions of other people. But, then again you've also got people making large cases out for white guilt as well, and blaming all white people for things like slavery. And you've got feminists claiming all men are xyz and in both instances, among others not only are they not ignored or called out for their bullshit they're given a soap box and a pat on the head for doing it.
Well you shouldn't be surprised, after all when you're dealing with 65-75 year old technology, there's no or very limited failsafes in the event that humans can't get to the reactor or anything and many of those are retrofit designs. All those points you're making? First generation reactors that should have been retired by 1990. Gen 4 is what it's at, but even Gen3+ reactors like the CANDU designs have no-intervention failover protections.
My parents have gotten one in '81, '86, '91, '96, '01, '06, '11 and they're likely to get one again next year, if they don't they'll likely be surprised.. I've gotten one since '01, '06, and '11. Two or three times in your life? Yeah...I have a friend who's great-grandparents got one every 5 years since 1921 until they died in the early '90's.
By all means - please keep perpetuating the cycle and tell me how that works out for you.
If a group which has created the problem, refuses to accept responsibility and those people who belonged to said group refuse to accept responsibility. The only solution left is to let people know that they are causing problems, and delibertly trying to drive a wedge between people in order to further their ideological agenda.
Better solution would be the reflect the sound up and away, which is how highway sound barriers work. They either reflect the sound back within the corridor, or they're installed on a slight angle that reflects the sound away. The same solution would probably help in this case. The other option of course would be to use geothermal taps to cool, of course people would likely also throw a NIMBY hissy fit. An example of that would be a waste to energy plant in a nearby city, it produced electricity, and water used to cool parts of the plant from the high heat during incineration were then pumped to a nearby large hospital complex(4 hospitals all within a stones throw, including a sick kids, and two standard hospitals and a long-term care hospital). NIMBYs threw a hissy fit because it was burning garbage in their backyard. However, ever since it was shut down the now ship garbage to a giant open air garbage dump that you can smell 3-5km away.
And in your case the national election would not piggy-back on a municipal ballot measure. They only have to count one thing. Which is really easy to do in a transparent and non-corrupt manner. Provincial referendums would also be one-off votes.
Ontario. Not national elections, but provincial elections yes. I think it was 2009 or around there, when we had a municipal vote, municipal ballot options and a provincial election at the same time in my area here in the SWON. Though that only led to two separate ballot cards, and I could finish in under 5 minutes. Ontario does use electronic tabulation for our voting here, but you still vote on a plain chunk of paper.
I used a calculator in my "A" level maths exam (high school) in 1975. I Think that it was an TI SR-50. It made some of the questions remarkably easy -- I think that the people who wrote the exam paper did not realize that calculators could "do" logs.
Gotta chuckle at that, my dad was in university then. Can't remember if he was at UCR or KSU in '75 but they didn't allow calculators then but they did allow slide rules.
I finished highschool in the mid-90's and we also used 4 digit log and trig tables more than anything, it was the following year I think '95 or '96 that they started allowing students to use calculators as long as they had no graphing function, but you couldn't use them in exams. I think it was in my sisters last year in highschool around 2000ish that they allowed graphing calculators, and you could use them in exams.
There's somewhere around 4k games on steam alone, so 1500 linux games is good. The problem with consoles is, a previous generations game likely won't work on the next generation of hardware. That was one of the reasons why my last console was N64, emulation on the PC is a really great thing though.

That's exactly my point.
We're not giving them enough of someone else's land.
I'm sure Jordan will have no problem coughing up some land then.
