This entire shitshow sounds like when marketing gets their hands on something and decides to fuck it up for everyone else. Here's an example from cars and engines. A piston bearing isn't a piston bearing, it's a friction impact reducer. A wheel bearing is now a front hub assembly, but not always. Because some cars still use separate baring assemblies outside of the hub which contains the other components for ABS, skid control, and speed sensor. It just pisses everyone off in their specialized field.
Fleets of on-demand, self-driving electric cars are the future.
Uh-huh. Companies have been saying that since the 1980's, all of the automakers tried self-driving lift trucks and driverless shunts over the last 30 years. Drive by wire, drive by wire+IR/visual identifiers, and so on. It's still another 20+ years off if not more at this point, they can't stop the shunts from driving into each other in a parking lot the size of a walmart supercenter. Don't get me started on their inability to back into a dock and take out other trailers that are stationary because the computer freaks the fuck out. Can't stop the lift trucks from driving off the wires and sometimes keep going until they smash into A-frames.
For "fleet on demand" to be a thing, you need to solve the current problem of there being "not enough trucks available for existing stock." You might not know, but JIT is the standard which means those fleets of trucks are considered rolling warehouses, in turn they always have to be on the road.
Ah, so you're taking the antifa stance on punching Nazi - "a lot of people" agree with the statement about punching Nazis, so it must be ok, or that it's somehow not violence!
No, I'm taking a "these people have actually committed violent/sexual assault acts against children and have been found guilty by the court" and most people would agree that having their asses kicked would be the least of a pedo's worries.
Don't worry if you're a bit too slow to understand the difference. Maybe six months or a year from now, you'll figure out the difference between "physical acts of violence for words" and "physical acts against violence against children, and people not putting up with it."
Note this was all done on healthy people as well, so tells you nothing about someone who has "gut" issues. It would be like giving penicillin to a healthy person and concluding it was of no benefit at all.
Spot on. It would have been far more useful on people taking long-term antibiotics for say infections in the bone from surgery and would rather try to avoid going back under the knife and removing a swath of bone, or diabetic foot ulcers. There's enough of these cases in most western countries that they could have a good sample size. There's a very good reason that they give yogurt and some form of probiotic after you've been given a high dose broad spectrum antibiotic in the hospital as well, people recover more quickly and it reduces the chances of having the dreaded antibiotic shits.
Think you mean "antifa burn cars, and attack anyone who doesn't bow to their political order."
Nazis burn people and fight everyone else.
Mostly correct, but I don't remember them doing that in the last ~75 years.
Mashiki - "I can't tell the difference!"
Dave420 - "I'm stupid enough to think antifa doesn't attack people for not bowing to communism."
Might want to brush up on their manifesto's there buddy. Let me know when you get to the part where they support violent attacks against other political ideologies. Just like they did back in the 1930's.
Seem to remember there was active satellite links in Resolute, Nvt.(74deg/N), so I don't think that's a problem. The real problem was the astronomical cost of those links, short of a stationary polar orbit satellite there is no real way to keep it cheap. So they've been building fiber as a replacement since 2012ish for the far north remote communities at least here in Canada. I think Resolute was finished in 2016ish or so.
Saying, "Someone needs to beat that pedo's ass" is, and if he had said that he would have been banned.
Well from the people I know, have seen, who've had their kids attacked by pedos. They'd probably agree with that statement, so would most people, even the most ardent law abiding folks. Funny enough, the city I used to live in had a Hells Angels chapter house, generally they were pretty good. Even had BBQ's for the nearby neighbors and all the rest. The strange thing, was crime decreased. Not even vandalism was happening anymore because the little shitstains weren't sure if they tagged something, it wouldn't belong to a patch member. The provincial government was going to release a pedo to a halfway house, it was 300m from a public k-8 school and 150m from a 9-13 high school. They were the ones who alerted the community, about it and rallied folks against him being released there.
Still happy to say that most of the people I met and knew, I'm still good friends with. Even met one guy while I was working out in Alberta, was still a patch. Apparently the area he'd moved into a year prior also had serious problems with gangs...which suddenly quieted down.
I don't see a lot of calls for violence on the #antifa hashtag.
That's because it's not one of the main hashtags used by antifa, but you're close. You'll find it.
Here's a thought: Antifa is just a boogieman created by Fox News and other right wing media outlets to mask and excuse right wing violence with "Whataboutism".
So antifa trashing Berkley didn't happen? Or them attacking a group of skinheads, and then getting their asses kicked for their trouble didn't happen? How about those cases in Seattle? Still not ringing any bells? How about Bavaria? You know where they burned, looted, and torched cars. Still not enough antifa violence.
Here's a thought for you: You're so ignorant of what's going on in the world, you're only listening to what you're being told instead of seeing it on your own. The first example of this, is when you used "created by fox news, etc" and used whataboutism, which you painted yourself into a corner.
Yeah and cancon is pretty much reviled by most people in Canada, because it produces nothing of worthwhile. It's simply a waste of tax dollars to create/promote culture. Something that in and of itself is organic.
Twitter is the land of double standards. If you're "in with the group" there's no problem at all. Note how very few blue checkmarked jackasses that spew racism or bigotry get any type of warning or punishment. People who point this out? Banned. Your local antifa group advocating for violence, or people supporting and calling for violence under the banner? Not banned. Group of guys making in-jokes and posing memes? Banned.
Yeah! Remember when they started shooting abortion doctors at home and in their churches?
Yeah, remember when people on the right and religious individuals vocally disavowed them? Then went further to root out people who were like that, supplied police and investigators with every bit of evidence they could. Noticed that it stopped pretty hard and fast? Hey, ever wonder why that doesn't seem to happen with mulsims and Islam?
I sure do.
Hey remember those leftist groups from the late 1960's and 1970's? You know the ones that planted bombs, murdered people, engaged in open terrorism. Executed families for not being the "right type of person." And all that?
I sure do. That was Canada, US, and Europe.
Maybe you're not exactly looking at the whole field here.
Maybe you're just ignorant on the facts of this? Sure seems like it.
Back in the BBS days, then Usenet, mailing lists and early forums I never got that kind of abuse.
I can quite remember back in the BBS days of this happening. I ran a fido:net node, and there were always people just unhinged and had to be blocked at the node level because of this shit and Usenet too. Early forums? Yep. You can still find instances of it back on the wayback machine.
These days threats of violence and doxing are often the first thing you get hit with. And I have been doxed and had stuff sent to my home, my wife's home, our email accounts flooded etc.
Yeah well, ask the political and radical left how much they enjoy it. Since they were the ones to popularize these methods back in the 80's and 90's. Everything from doxing someone's home because they ran a shelter, to a research worker having bombs sent to his home because he killed rabbits in the course of his research. The the more modern stuff of the 00's, with anti-MRA feminists and their ilk that pull fire alarms in buildings, call in the bomb threats and so on. Or with Gamergate, and all of the open-public events from restaurants, to meeting halls having bomb threats called into them. Or the more recent stuff, that's become a hallmark of the feminst left. If you committed the dangerous thing of "sexual allegations" which haven't been proven in court, law, HR, or anything else. Well? The mob will come and try to get you fired. Oh, but if the accuser is female? They'll just circle the wagons and hope it disappears.
All of that is designed to shut down free and open debate. It's censorship. Intimidation designed to silence views that the perpetrator does not like.
Well that sure explains why Islam is a race, but Christianity isn't. But being racist to blacks isn't okay, but being racist to asians and whites is okay.
Your number is a bit off for Canada, it's around $48k/year right now. Been a long time, decades that the GDP-per-person has dropped like this. On top of that we pay ~43% in taxes, and everything that's supposed to be covered becomes less of every year. We're getting less for our money and paying more for it.
Unless your kids are adults, you're pretty much legally liable for what they do anyways. Yes, if your kid throws a rock through the neighbor's front window, YOU are going to be on the hook for repair costs....
Depends on how old the kid is. Has mens rea kicked in? If so, then it starts moving away from parental responsibility to individual responsibility.
There's no proof of it. Netflix even provides localized caching server to ISP's at limited or no cost. On the other hand, there are plenty of ISP's who use sandvine boxes still and those can pick and choose what traffic to throttle.
Or they could have simply included real life instances of women on the battlefield, instead of making the black-crippled-camo woman. Nah, gotta try hitting all those "diversity" points, because virtue signaling is all the rage. Just look at the state of Star Wars, and Ghostbusters.
Don't forget Europe, with the huge amounts of natural gas that they're using. Or the fact that here in North America, we're building terminals on the east and west coast specifically for transporting LNG to Europe and Asian countries for both power plants, and home use. Seriously you don't sink $30-50B into terminal and then throw the entire thing over your shoulder in 10 years.
Take your pick, there's plenty of countries that don't have any restrictions on nuclear development like this. South Korea and Canada would be contenders, especially since they both have worked together for the last 40 years refining reactor designs including designs that can use multiple forms of fuel in the same reactor vessel. France is a good choice. Japan is good choice too, despite the anti-nuke sentiment among parts of the country. With the high number of earthquakes and reactors being in vulnerable locations, small scale reactors would be a good option for them.
So the NDP didn't close coal power plants, and drive the price of electricity through the roof? To the point where they had to hard-cap both the electrical cost and cost for transmission? Good to know. You should really let Noltley and her MLA's know this, especially since they just passed that legislation.
If you got any stupider, you'd give Kathleen Wynne a run for her money.
This is clearly child abuse to deprive your children of actual medical care.
It's worse. These products make claims to dissuade people from preventative care, like vaccines for example. The real problem is you've got assholes in the media and hollywood screeching still that this is 100% the cause of autism, or whatever else.
Small scale reactor development has been pretty heavy for the last 20 years or so. It's not that someone discovers the cost being more expensive, the problem is "environmental and legal" costs associated with them, especially here in the west. The whole anti-nuke hysteria happens to drive things pretty hard. Live deployments of small scale reactors have already happened. China, India and Russia all have them. They're as small as 10Mw and as big as 220Mw. There's 3 or 4 going live in the next few years in the US, 4 here in Canada, 2 in S.Korea. These are all Gen4 designs to boot, and Gen4 reactors are far cheaper to build and maintain then any design.
One of the real big problems is "licensing" of the designs, especially US or designs based on US. This does make it more attractive for countries to take other designs that can use different types of fuel sources, low-grade and premade fuel like MOX for instance. And drastically cuts the possibility of terrorist groups getting their hands on fissile materials.

It sure is. Now you seem to be having a problem here. Your regular anti-speech stands seems to contradict your current open speech debates. Guess what? Tthe bullshit from campuses in Ontario has gotten so bad that the provincial government is stepping in and stating that universities MUST have a free speech policy, and can no longer restrict speakers by trying to land them with heavy security fees or other nonsense issues. Or you will loose funding. Then again this is the that Jordan Peterson were warning about universities in Canada 5 years ago. Groups like FIRE and CampusWatch have been doing the same in the US.
Well that sure explains why Islam is a race, but Christianity isn't. But being racist to blacks isn't okay, but being racist to asians and whites is okay.
Don't forget to knock off the 30% for devaluation if you live in Canada vs the greenback.
Data sources vary depending on the methodology. I grabbed mine from
