Funny. Remember the talking heads saying that the science is settled? Yet here comes along yet another study saying that the science is indeed not settled. To a point what I think bothers most opponents of the AGW theory is the belief that "we know all" rather than "we don't know enough." Global warming as it is, is akin to bridge building. You know the science about why something will or won't collapse, you don't take a guess on a wood bridge and watch as the first car going across plummets 150m into the canyon. With global warming, you don't even know if the bridge is made of straw.
And there's enough loose money floating on the pro-side from kickbacks, and unclaimed gifts along with monetary favors that anyone with an ounce of common sense should be saying well wait a fucking minute.
EPA ratings are shit, and don't reflect real world numbers.
Go look up the numbers yourself, actually you can go look up some of the numbers right off the saturn wiki page and then head over to Saturn Fans and go look up the numbers posted by people over there. Seeing 42-49mpg was not uncommon for S-series models.
Your prius gets 50mpg? Well that's not bad, should I tell you that I just finished driving nearly 5000mi, in a '96 saturn and got around 49mpg on the highway. Yep, a car that's 15 years old, getting nearly the same performance.
Well the US is pushing towards some of the highest wealth taxes in the western world these days. I'll be honest, I've only got $550k in liquid assets in the bank, if I was an American and wealthy? I'd be getting the hell out and moving to Canada(25%) or well anywhere but Europe where I wouldn't be looking at nearly a base 40% tax rate. But could still easily make money.
What I found funny was her selling a dozen cupcakes for $40. What? Huh? Holy shit, apparently I'm in the wrong market. I do some off time work at a friends bakery every few weeks, and she sells a dozen cupcakes in a variety of types for between $3 and 5.
I'm guessing these are luxury cupcakes, made from pickled droppings of some 30 year old bear.
I can't say for the US but in Canada, "speedy trials" are determined by the jurisdiction that the case will be tried in, and the scope of the crime. 1.5 years for a criminal prosecution here? That's fairly reasonable. 1.5 years for a DUI charge or parking ticket, not so much. I get the feeling that US case law mirrors this as well.
That's nice. But the AOC isn't enforced outside of major cities. Pakistan is quickly sliding into a imperialist islamist shithole. Meaning that sharia is the law of the day, and a wife or women who isn't subservient is disrespectful of their man, and in turn god. And where the whole sharia law thing has kicked into full gear, there's no such thing as rape. Unless you can find 8 male witnesses. And of course you can't rape your wife, she has to submit.
The Burqa is also becoming a 'norm' throughout the country as the government tries to appease the hardliners. Keep up with the times AC.
Well lets see, North America, Europe, Russia, Japan. That covers the big geographic regions all use fossil fuels. South America, Africa, India, and the Middle east. Well those all use fossil fuels too.
One of the great things about electric cars (beyond not running on fossil fuel)
What? And do you have a fleet of these that are powered off your own tidal generator, solar, or your own nuclear reactor in your backyard? Unless you do, all electric vehicles run on fossil fuels. That stored energy has to come from somewhere, and the chances of it coming from gas, oil, or coal are probably in the 50-80% range.
The process never caught it. It took nearly 4 years after the original release for it to get 'caught' and after it was caught, it was found to be a Greenpeace propaganda piece.
The fence is to protect the products from employees and other staffers already in the building.
Well that's no surprise, since ~70% of all employees steal. And the biggest losses come not from shoplifting, but the people who are employed by the businesses. The old 40/30/30 rule applies not to shoplifters but to employees. The break down of course is 40% will steal if they think they won't get caught, 30% will steal anything they can, and 30% won't steal at all. The numbers themselves fluctuate a bit depending on which study and criminology path you're looking at but they're all pretty close to the same. 30/30/40, 30/40/30, and so on.
There's a reason why internal loss prevention is becoming a very big business in the private sector these days.
It's a gimmick, nothing more nothing less. Oddly I don't know anyone that owns a wii, so hell if I know where the sales are coming from. Parents with small kids maybe? I guess that's the only thing that could do it. Most people I know are too tired by the time they get home from work, to do more activity to relax in front of their favorite game.
Someone forget that this was reported in the news? Repeatedly, and often about the no-bid contracts. Well not only that, but that he'd long since sold shares and ownership in said company? But hey, what about all those democrats that have been making money by illegally using insider trading? I mean they've been on with the republicans who did it, but the dem's? Hah no. And only one democrat is willing to put a stop to it, but has full backing of the republicans.
Well this is toronto, so it's pretty damn typical of the over-reaction. Then again this is the same city that has flown in the face and allowed segregated based schools, and religious discrimination to occur on the tax payer dole, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Never? I'm sure the masses of kids these days have figured out the same thing. Pirating is easier than buying it, especially when it's free. Well there goes another generation.
When do you think Canadians could read about information outside of their own border? I know, it's a really difficult one. But to be fair, until you mentioned it. Beck wasn't the original source.

Simple. Consoles are what caused this, which is why for most games the first thing that you see released are higher res. texture packs for games.
Wait. I thought the science was settled. How can what you said be true? /sarc

Let me guess. A liberal, tolerant of the beliefs of others? Oh wait.

Most people don't know how to cite something and wouldn't, or couldn't if their life was in jeopardy.
Well lets see, North America, Europe, Russia, Japan. That covers the big geographic regions all use fossil fuels. South America, Africa, India, and the Middle east. Well those all use fossil fuels too.
Well damn it huh?

How can someone lie about the EU and make it look bad? The EU is fucking terrible.
You can also download, just not distribute(i.e. upload).

Makes sense. If I had a sense of humor, made via perl I'd inflict my misery on everyone too.

That would be my guess, or family of party officials or a magistrate. Otherwise they wouldn't care.
