It doesn't help that some cities passed bylaws making it illegal for people to collect from the curbside like that. Because cities saw it as a way to make up the shortfall in budgets and off-set garbage collection. Those days are gone in many cases, but the waste remains and now cities are discovering that there's plenty of waste but nobody to take it.
What went wrong was the gigantic push by environmentalists in the 1980's claiming that paper bags were bad, followed by the complaints that reprocessing(cleaning) glass bottles of all stripes were bad - because phosphate based cleaners were the primary source being used. But then saying how "environmentally friendly" it was to use plastics because the materials were already there, and it took less energy to make plastic bottles, packaging and so-on. And how phosphate based cleaners wouldn't end up in the lakes and rivers. 30 years later we're back at square one because what was quite environmentally friendly had bad optics at the time, and companies simply rolled over rather than deal with the environmentalist backlash of the period.
Sit back, enjoy the shitshow. Hell there's millions of acres of trees in the US and Canada damaged by pine beetles, that are perfect to be processed into well all kinds of materials...but those environmental regulations of the same period hamper clearcutting dead forests, even if the company is willing to stagger non-monculture trees(something that helped cause this problem in the first place).
Fox and Sinclair are two separate companies for one thing. There's shady shit at Sinclair because they own a large swath of small broadcasters. You'll find most conservatives are as much against that as Disney now holding 40% of the box office. The second, about news output being censored by the democrat party isn't a conspiracy. I'm guessing you missed all the crap out of wikileaks a few years ago, where reporters at nearly every major political and news organization except Fox, were publishing democrat talking points or the reporters were forwarding news articles to the DNC and allowing them to "massage" the information to make sure it wouldn't hurt the party, or Hillary's chances(never mind that they were doing the same for the Obama administration). NBC, CBS, ABC, Politico, The Hill, Washington Post, USA Today, and so on all had reporters directly communicating with one political party and only one.
Then we can get into Journolist. If you forgot, that was the private mailing list where journos would massage talking points and collude to publish stories with small changes across multiple sites to "influence messaging" as it were.
Tieflings come out of the Planescape setting dating back to the mid-90's, there was already some cross-over stuff since demons, devas and extra planar beings already hopped into the FR setting. The whole thing of it gets pretty screwy especially with the spell plague, partial collapse of realms into the FR universe and the near destruction of all planes of existence.
BT and Shadowrun had nothing on the gigantic clusterfuck surrounding Warhammer: Fantasy, the effective "fuck you" by gamesworkshop and then 're-releasing' it into Warhammer Age of Sigmar and telling the fanbase to go pound sand if they didn't like it. 3D printers sure became popular in some of the WH:F groups.
Dust off a copy of TIME, OMNI, or Scientific American. Then you can watch the new generation of retards and their current puppet Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spew the same shit, oh and Al Gore. He really likes those 12 year doom cycles. Personally? I'm also enjoying her tantrums over the "fact checkers" calling her out on her shit.
"We have just 12 years to change everything otherwise we're all doooooooooomed." - Courtesy of every flappy headed left wing environmentalist since the 1970's. Personal favorite, was in 1990 if we don't do something now - RIGHT NOW - the world will end in 12 years. Man it's you've been crying wolf for over 100 years, on 12 year cycles and it still hasn't happened...and yet you wonder why fewer people support it.
Speed increases when going down a hill are a sign of bad break adjustment.
No. Speed increases going down a hill means that the car is an automatic, and the transmission has entered a high flow low-resistance state(look up the basics of a torque convertor). The other option is that the car is a manual, and the clutch is disengaged. With the clutch engaged, the engine and gear ratio will limit the speed going down a hill, effectively working on the same principal as a Jake brake(engine brake on diesels).
If the brakes are causing the car to slowdown going down a hill without them engaged it means there is something wrong with the brakes. Uneven pad wear due to the calipers being overly rusted, or causing the anti-rattle clips to expand as it rusts partially engaging the brake at all times. With drum brakes, that's nearly a 100% sign that either the auto-adjuster was set too wide, or the brake piston is leaking. If it's leaking, especially with power brakes the system it automatically over-correcting for the loss of partial line pressure. This can be easily diagnosed because braking systems are designed in an X configuration,. Right-front is paired with left-rear and left-front is paired with right-rear, and excessive wear on only one set of front pads means you pull the rears to check.
You should take a look from Michigan over to Ontario. Where the utility investing in renewable(PV and windmills), put the prices of electricity through the roof. So much so that the previous government took out future bonds to off-set the price because it became such a hot-button issue for the upcoming election they thought that buying people off with more debt was the way to win.. When do those bonds come due? About 7 years give or take a little bit. At my place in Florida, I belong to a electrical co-op and have yet to see a price per-kWh over about 0.053 at peak. Compared to the 0.185kWh during all peak that's one hell of a difference. Especially since nearly 40% of the entire population of Canada lives between Windsor and Ottawa.
This of course gets worse, because Ontario sells electricity to the US at a loss. And when it's bought from the US, sometimes it's double the market production rate. Bonus points for naming the government that created that shitshow too.
So now we see why you hate this: you abuse free speech and the liberals/leftists haven't, so when the abusers are kicked off for abuse, you see it as the fault of the liberals and leftists because they aren't being kicked off.
You mean, when leftists are engaging in a pattern of behavior that would get anyone else kicked off and they're not being kicked off?
Ever thought that the fault is yours for abusing free speech? Or is personal responsiblity another thing that the right wing insist is real but is fake when it comes to reality?
Did you bother to pause and think before you put that out? Let me give you an example: Progressive goes and publishes a direct threat and nothing happens. Conservative or libertarian quotes their direct threat, and is banned or forced to delete the offending comment. Plenty of examples, why don't you go look a few of them up. I mean, you can even find large numbers of progressives who are still running harassment campaigns against the covington kids and some that are verified no less.
It was the other way around. Hate speech was the first thing they came for. So the haters tried to dress it up as journalism, but eventually Alex Jones got banned too.
Sure explains why all of those progressives and leftists have facebook and twitter accounts, while not being banned, or even given a "time out" for maliciously spreading fake information. Everything from Mike "hands up don't shoot" Brown, to the Covington kids, to actively promoting and endorsing racism against whites. Looks like some types of hate speech are perfectly fine with them.
Give you a tip, go watch the 5hr podcast with Tim Pool on the Joe Rogen experience, and watch as Jack Dorsey and his pet lawyer dance around not banning groups and ideologically aligned left-leaning because they also align in that direction. My favorite part was when Pool asked why they haven't banned antifa groups which to this day openly promote violence against people, and the response was 'well they're not real groups' to loosely paraphrase.
Cheap, and it would attract Apples customers, GOT IT... so the other manufacturers should be announcing similar plans in 3, 2, 1... what happened? They don't want Apples customers or they can't afford to do this?
Oh noes. It looks like we've run into the AC, who hasn't been paying attention to basic sales trends for the last two years. To the point that even the "whales" that would buy a new apple device, are no longer wanting to buy a new apple device.
Aw, better luck next time Mashki buddy:/
You sure did a bang up job of showing how ignorant you were. Good luck next time, I suggest reading sales and expectation reports on new products first.
Simple and short, they're pandering to the environmentalist crowd or aligned crowd. Likely the same people who are buying their products and there's been some noise about how their products really aren't green. Really it's cheap astroturfing, that can be easily canned out via a press release and ignored unless the noise starts picking up again.
Too difficult for most criminal enterprises still. Most use tangible assets like vehicles or real estate in order to launder money. Three hot spots in the world for it right now: Vancouver, Canada. Brisbane, Australia, and San Francisco, USA.
Please give your Kelly Ann Conway impression a rest and and try to address the real problem which is that you are struggling to understand the concept of conflict of interests.
Please give your Justin Trudeau impression of doubling down on information that you don't want the public to actually know about. While trying to downplay information by claiming to hold the gold standard of truth, and stating that even if there's a conflict of interest - it's not in the public interest to know the factual information.
Are you seriously trying to convince us that a single report written by a think tank which is funded by oil companies who have a vested interest in killing off the renewable energy industry is enough to completely discredit all renewables? That PowerPoint presentation should be taken with several table spoons of salt for that reason alone.
Then you shouldn't have any problems disproving what they've said. By all means, disprove it. Those of us who've already experienced the "green dream" of progressives just happen to curse their bullshit because it was economy kill, job killing, pipe dreams that translated into nothing that was promised, not even the "green jobs" to take care of the equipment. And actively accelerated manufacturing and tech jobs because of the high cost of electricity. Keep in mind that I'm a strong supporter of expanded nuclear energy and a global HVDC grid, since it doesn't suffer the "line loss" that long-distance HVAC suffers from.
Also, every actual investigation of ACORN resulted in no charges, despite Veritas's claims. The vast majority of those investigations were done by Republicans. Almost like the folks at Veritas were lying....
It's harder to charge organizations that are no longer function because even the democrats found the public opinion of them to be 'toxic' isn't it. Too bad, that you can watch the fully unedited videos and they show that it was actually worse then that.
where the unedited video was released via lawsuit, and showed that the claims were completely false and the released video was selectively edited to create their case.
But hey, it worked again for you, so they'll continue to keep lying to you. And you'll love them for it.
You mean the case where people involved along with PP, tried to stop the release of the video and it being included in evidence? To the point where the judge actively lashed out against the defense for attempting to suppress evidence? You might want to go pay more attention to what's actually going on. Gee it's almost like you didn't even read the court transcripts in that case. Wow.
Talking to a mirror?
Talking to reality, you might want to try it sometime.
Aren't you the guy with all the polar bears in your backyard? Is CA giving polar bears bus tickets too? I'm just curious.
That depends, is 1500km in your backyard? Maybe you just don't understand how large Canada is, and why even a distance like that would seem trivial to someone who lives here.
You didn't read the articles then. In Ontario where when you cross the border into NY or MI, and the electricity prices are under 0.05kWh yes it becomes expensive. In turn businesses flee, people lose their jobs, PT work becomes more common. In turn people take more PT jobs to cover the costs of a single FT job.
To point 3, the previous government and cities mandated by law that electrical heating was the only legal option. Around 80% of all apartment building use it, and that's your only option.
To point 4, so has Ontario. Far longer then BC(before it was even a province). You can also thank the Liberals for attempting to shut down Niagara Falls Generating, and their attempt to mothball it because it killed fish. I'm not even kidding on that one. It was reversed by the current PC government.
To point 5. No, their actions made no sense except to turn around and cause undue harm to the population as a whole. Their actions were anti-manufacturing, pro-service industry, it was bad enough that data centers were considering packing up and moving from 151 Front St.(the core of the IT sector in Toronto, including all of the national hubs) and moving to other cities. Some went as far as to planning to move just across the border to Hull, QC. Oh, and going by what the auditor general has released so far? The previous government was worse.
I'm going to point out because you might not know it, but the brain behind those ideas is the same one who pushed Trudeau's carbon tax. The same on that nearly every province in Canada told the government to "fuck and you" over.
People are fleeing such cheap electricity? Why not simply use less?
You don't seem to grasp the size of Canada. Or just "where" you can live in Canada to make ends meet. About half the population of the country lives between Windsor(Ontario) and Montreal(Quebec). The limitation of being able to work and live in a particular area is determined by how much you're going to get paid for the work you do. If you make $150k/year in Toronto you're likely just making ends meet. If you're making $150k in Ingersoll, or St. Thomas you're going to be doing quite well for yourself. Comparatively $150k is the median wage in places like Fort Mac(Alberta), and making less then $100k year pushes you into poverty. Again, if you live in Ingersoll making $40k/year, and move to Grande Prairie(AB), you will absolutely not make ends meet at all around 80% of your income will be spent on rent because they're not building houses at the moment there due to the flux in the oil industry.
Well you either showed yourself as an idiot that doesn't live in Canada, or are an idiot living in Canada. First, Canada doesn't have misdemeanors. Second, that case isn't closed. Third, don't forget the 'indigenous women' being killed and the federal investigative committee coming to the same conclusion as the previous one, that the vast majority of cases those women were killed by other natives. And in both cases, the media and Federal government went very quiet. And last but not least, having a fundraiser where people pay isn't fraud. But if you think it is, just remember that it was the previous government(Liberals) that changed that law including removing ALL donation limits, the current government changed the maximum allowable donations per-person to $1250 at a fundraising event. And the previous government illegally destroyed documents on the NG power plant, covered it up, and then did the same thing with ORNGE and had actual closed door pay-for-access fundraisers where people were required to sign a NDA, and the press were bared from. Maybe you can tell everyone about the SNC-Laval scandal going on, can't wait for you to start defending Trudeau on it.
Don't quit your day job, but if you do and keep posting? I'll enjoy you making a further idiot out of yourself.
I know it's hard to separate what you hear on Fauxnews with reality but what you're describing is pure fantasy entirely of your own delusional state. SAD. They should put you on a psych hold.. oh wait, it's not the USA!
Imagine being so stupid, that you don't know that's exactly how it works in Canada. Why don't you go make a visit to a court room monday morning, and you can go see the hold in temp-psych ward cases from Fri/Sat rolling in. I'll even give you some help, London, Ontario.
Sure, it might be effective at reducing crime, but there is a big cost that comes with it... one that I hope people aren't willing to pay.
That depends. Do you live in a country with no right to own a firearm, and self defense is heavily restricted? In turn your only real protection comes from the state, acting as a medium between the various facets of society. I get your reasoning, in the US for example castle laws exist. They don't in Canada, and there are places in Canada where police aren't minutes away they can be half a day or more away.
In Canada, we call this the "revolving door" where people with mental health issues are simply dumped on the streets until they become an issue. The cops have to intervene, they're held in a hospital until court, which puts them into a psych facility. Where they're treated for a few weeks, then dumped back out on the streets.
Are we enjoying the fact that the courts so heavily overstepped on the MH issue, that when they started shutting down facilities they simply gave them bus tickets if nobody showed up for them.
Missed a few things, including meth labs, rampant B&E problems, heavy substance abuse issues to start with.
Get's more interesting here in Ontario, because cities are in charge of shelter/low income housing programs. And for instance in the GTA, they're pushing the poor(who are citizens) out of low income and shelters, to give space to 'migrants' and illegals from the US. Wonder why crime is spiking, after all it's only going to be -15C in most of Ontario tonight and we just got ~15cm of snow.

It doesn't help that some cities passed bylaws making it illegal for people to collect from the curbside like that. Because cities saw it as a way to make up the shortfall in budgets and off-set garbage collection. Those days are gone in many cases, but the waste remains and now cities are discovering that there's plenty of waste but nobody to take it.
What went wrong was the gigantic push by environmentalists in the 1980's claiming that paper bags were bad, followed by the complaints that reprocessing(cleaning) glass bottles of all stripes were bad - because phosphate based cleaners were the primary source being used. But then saying how "environmentally friendly" it was to use plastics because the materials were already there, and it took less energy to make plastic bottles, packaging and so-on.

Sit back, enjoy the shitshow. Hell there's millions of acres of trees in the US and Canada damaged by pine beetles, that are perfect to be processed into well all kinds of materials...but those environmental regulations of the same period hamper clearcutting dead forests, even if the company is willing to stagger non-monculture trees(something that helped cause this problem in the first place).

Speed increases when going down a hill are a sign of bad break adjustment.
No. Speed increases going down a hill means that the car is an automatic, and the transmission has entered a high flow low-resistance state(look up the basics of a torque convertor). The other option is that the car is a manual, and the clutch is disengaged. With the clutch engaged, the engine and gear ratio will limit the speed going down a hill, effectively working on the same principal as a Jake brake(engine brake on diesels).
If the brakes are causing the car to slowdown going down a hill without them engaged it means there is something wrong with the brakes. Uneven pad wear due to the calipers being overly rusted, or causing the anti-rattle clips to expand as it rusts partially engaging the brake at all times. With drum brakes, that's nearly a 100% sign that either the auto-adjuster was set too wide, or the brake piston is leaking. If it's leaking, especially with power brakes the system it automatically over-correcting for the loss of partial line pressure. This can be easily diagnosed because braking systems are designed in an X configuration,. Right-front is paired with left-rear and left-front is paired with right-rear, and excessive wear on only one set of front pads means you pull the rears to check.

Imagine being so stupid, that you don't know that's exactly how it works in Canada. Why don't you go make a visit to a court room monday morning, and you can go see the hold in temp-psych ward cases from Fri/Sat rolling in. I'll even give you some help, London, Ontario.
Sure, it might be effective at reducing crime, but there is a big cost that comes with it... one that I hope people aren't willing to pay.
That depends. Do you live in a country with no right to own a firearm, and self defense is heavily restricted? In turn your only real protection comes from the state, acting as a medium between the various facets of society. I get your reasoning, in the US for example castle laws exist. They don't in Canada, and there are places in Canada where police aren't minutes away they can be half a day or more away.
In Canada, we call this the "revolving door" where people with mental health issues are simply dumped on the streets until they become an issue. The cops have to intervene, they're held in a hospital until court, which puts them into a psych facility. Where they're treated for a few weeks, then dumped back out on the streets.
Are we enjoying the fact that the courts so heavily overstepped on the MH issue, that when they started shutting down facilities they simply gave them bus tickets if nobody showed up for them.
Missed a few things, including meth labs, rampant B&E problems, heavy substance abuse issues to start with.
Get's more interesting here in Ontario, because cities are in charge of shelter/low income housing programs. And for instance in the GTA, they're pushing the poor(who are citizens) out of low income and shelters, to give space to 'migrants' and illegals from the US. Wonder why crime is spiking, after all it's only going to be -15C in most of Ontario tonight and we just got ~15cm of snow.
