Recycling paper is a waste anyway, absolutely no point. Takes far too much energy, chemicals, and more energy to do it. Easier to engage in sustainable forestry then anything else. Besides, the old paper straws were coated in wax and were fairly durable. I'm guessing metal straws will make a comeback fairly quickly, for anyone wanting to get in on the ground floor.
Shakes aren't made to drink from the cup. They used to give you metal straws if you were eating in for example, most people used to have metal straws at home, worked great, easy cleanup. It was the fast food places that gave you ones made out of paper. Then it moved to plastic because of two things: "environmental outrage" at trees being cut down for it, and plastic became dirt cheap. Same reason why all those grocery stores switched from paper bags to plastic, environmental outrage.
That's because it takes longer to charge a vehicle then it does to fill up a gas or diesel car. You need to build new electrical infrastructure for it, especially new infrastructure since the current grid runs at 100% capacity nearly all the time. The Liberals in Ontario wanted to do that, at the tune of $140B or so. That's a lot of hospitals, MRI/CAT scanners in a province that desperately needs all three. Needless to say, their idea didn't win them the election or even enough seats to be an official political party.
Yeah this "addictive behavior" complex is called a skinner box, you might have learned about them in high school. That doesn't make it a medical condition though, not anymore then say...working for a living to make money and "get stuff to survive." Which is also a skinner box called life.
You seem to have made the argument that conservatives are smarter then your average progressive because they don't eat tide pods. Would you like to know more?
Sorry, but that's just transphobic you filthy bigot. Sticking sexual identity on 3, 5, 7 year olds is just plainly acceptable. Just look at those court rulings. It's just like the community that goes out of their way to attack psychologists and psychiatrists who have published studies showing that 'trans kids' grow out of it, the number of number of cases are so infinitesimally small in reality that it doesn't justify building specialized hospitals and treatment centers either, but they're both happening. The reality is, this isn't any different then the attention seeking "my kid has autism, woe is me" attention seeking by parents, doctors, and so on several years ago.
I also didn't say 'taught' rather that it's being forced on the kids, and you can easily find that without any trouble either. Problem is, because it's the trendy hot-shit right now, arguing that this is child abuse is transphobic. And so the lynch mobs will come for you, your job, and likely anything else they can get their fingers on.
Nice projection. It's good to know my personal trolls are getting so unhinged these days, maybe you'll take the next big step and enter a psychiatric care program. One can only hope.
So you're a psychopath? Why do you want to impose a view on children when they're mentally, psychologically, and physically unable to understand the consequences. This is before they can legally have sex in every western country. Because that's what you're doing.
Or are you going to tell everyone that a 6-9 year old can fully understand the consequences of this. Never mind that in nearly all of the west, the mens rea(that's guilty mind) for committing of crime is leveled at ages 11-13. Even then, we have youth criminal codes because those kids do not understand their actions. And yes, you can easily find the people pushing this on kids. If you have one, or a niece, or a nephew, or worked with children in any form, you already know exactly how malleable their views are and how easily a person in authority can abuse it. Round this out with the fact that children work to please parents, they will readily adopt whatever position is presented to them at that age.
3.8 second search will find you plenty of psychiatrists who are more then happy to start diagnosing toddlers, and quite happy to give them drugs too. Let's not forget that most and by most, I mean nearly all kids grow out of gender dysphoria when left to their own devices. But let's not forget that dramatic spike in teen patients, or the 40% attempted suicide rate pre-transition and 70% post-transitition suicide rates either. Suicide rates that high screams serious mental problems, but the psychiatric community in many areas have already declared this to be 'transphobic' unlike the neurology-psychiatric community.
The best hope is to leave children to their own devices, and let them figure out where they fit in the world. The moment you start screwing with them prior to puberty, you're setting them on a path that will irrevocably screw up their life.
Dressing up in women's clothes and thinking you are a woman, to the point of cutting off your dick is, "Normal"
I see.
Don't forget that pushing it onto 3 year old kids is okay. But pointing out that it's child abuse isn't okay. Putting preteens on hormone blocks is okay too. Never mind that children have wild ideas like wanting to be a train/truck/street light/etc when they grow up.
There's going to be an entire generation of completely fucked up people, and in the worst case a lot of cases of parents getting killed by their kids for fucking up their lives.
I'm still waiting for that data to back up your claim. I'll assume after so many attempts that you don't have them as I expected. Thanks for playing.
Remember, you were the one who made the claim that it costs no money, not me. So by all means, why don't you show your proof. I'll wait, you're the one who dug this hole all on their own.
The general amount of ignorance and arrogance in your replies reminds me of the average progressive living in a city, and thinks food comes from the supermarket.
Or use that for the mornings hash browns, unless you share my opinion that white bread can be too white every other morning.
I don't really cook hash browns in the morning, but I do cook fried potateo's, with a mix of rosemary, dash of salt and pepper. They're quite tasty, have a very nice fluffy taste, almost melt in your mouth with a crisp outside. Give it a try sometime.
the idea of swatting only started when the police started responding to everything with heavily armed SWAT.
Police started responding like that because people demanded, infucking-letter-writing campaign style demanded that police respond in that manner. It's the same way that the black communities demanded more police, and the police engage in stop and fisk like behavior because of crack. That was in the late 90's, it's not hard to find. All the moral outrage mouth pieces from Sharpton to Jackson screeched for it.
People got what they wanted, and they don't like that the police took it at face value.
I did until the dev of palemoon decided to start blocking extensions(noscript for example) because of ideological reasons. There's a good need for a browser that's just a browser, no ideological bullshit, no fucking pandering to the cause of the day. Just be a fucking web browser. Brave is getting there slowly.
Don't ruin Firefox any further by loading it up with more bullshit and shiny social media crap that no one wants.
Sorry, but the infiltration of mozilla by "trendy hipsters" who don't have a fucking clue what the majority of people want continues apace. I'd say put a fork in it and be done, but the people who are forking it don't seem to have a fucking clue either.
You pay more for internet in Toronto then you do in NYC too. Figure it's around $152/mo($115USD) for 100Mbps service there. It's also $37/mo for 5/1Mbps with a 25GB cap, that's cable, basic DSL 5/1 is roughly $50/mo same city no less. The only way you get cheaper internet is going through a third-party(TPIA's) who leases the last mile from Bell or Rogers. TPIA's like teksavvy, electronic box, MTL, and so on are roughly half the cost of what's being charged, but the companies who lease the last line absolutely love to claim there's no availability and completely fuck people around. So the only 100% sure way to get on those TPIA's is to get bell/rogers, then transfer your account over. Shit's been back in forth with the CRTC(like FCC), for a couple of years now with them claiming no card slots/no signups due to high latency issues.
... said the right-wing terrorists (and their supporters) who kill doctors and bomb medical clinics.
... said the left-wing terrorists (and their supporters) who assault and kill average people, doctors, attempt to assassinate politicians and burn down/shoot up public/private buildings and damage infrastructure.
Trump didn't pull off an amazing upset. The media, polling, and left/progressives were so out of touch that they ate their own bullshit and continue to believe that "doubling down" on the same message is the right reason forward. Which is why democrats are in the middle of a civil war right now. Those two sides fall into "we didn't go progressive/far-left enough" and "what the fuck are you doing? You're driving everyone away." Seriously, if you don't think democrats are driving their own voter base away, you're not paying attention.
The only MVP for Trump, was the democrats and their own message(and lack of it). Just like with all those primary challenges, and RINO's getting tossed to the curb. Or the Liberal Party of Ontario going from a majority government to no longer being an official party. Same message, pushing more progressive crap and average people having enough of it.
Far less then 'green energy' I know, it might hurt your worldview. That is, when you're not shuffling the costs onto 3rd world countries and creating environmental disasters because there's no real environmental policies in place to boot. But hey, it's 'free energy' right?
Please provide evidence that such people even exist. This is a straw-man.
What you mean like this? And that's only the latest story. There's pushing 20 years of this, so we can just chalk this up to general ignorance and not paying attention to what's going on around you. WA, NC, SC, GA, SD, ND, IL, MI, IN, OH, GA, all over the place. You can even find the 'impact studies' in blowing agricultural land into giant solar farms with no trouble and the massive agreement from universities that "yes it's really a good idea to reduce farmland and put solar panels on it." The prime 'green belt' in Ontario, has multiple cases of this. Again, hit your favorite search engine, you'll find the stories stupidly easy.
If by old, I mean the 2nd largest nuclear generating plant in the world. Which is 0.05kWh.
And you managed to miss all of the actual documents that show you the cost on generation, right on the ieso website. That's pretty amazing. Larger systems are still subsidized, and are still paid at $0.40kWh for wind just a FYI.
This is where you believe that it would actually happen, and not require massive layout costs for designing structures like that. So here's the question, are you willing to pay triple the cost for it? Not only that but you also have to redesign all of the electrical and plumbing. The electrical has to be hardened by code.

This coming from the person who said:
So you have no costs then? Sounds like words coming out of a hat....
Oh the irony. Why don't you go back, rethink your original reply, and come up with something constructive to my point. I'll wait.
