They're moving south because the ice they used to live on is melting, and they can't walk on water... so they move to land. With is south.
Boy are you gonna be surprised when you discover that Polar Bear Provincial Park, isn't really ice but tundra. By the way, good luck visiting there it requires special access these days. Avoid the winter, and be in good health. It's fly-in only. Also don't piss off the people in Peawanuck they're pretty nice.
So you're buying american made, packed with chinese shit then? You should crack open a CFL or LED bulb one of these days then go look at the MTBF on the various components. Boy will you be surprised when you discover the diodes are as cheap as they come with a MTBF of 250 hours. And even at that high rate of failure a company that advertises "10 year life" can send you a replacement and it still is profitable enough for them.
"Polar Bear Population on the Rise" according to new study by the University of Bad Math, Ontario.
And to think, that article is over 6 years old~ And the numbers are still increasing...and they've actually increased the kill quotas a couple of times for inuits because they've become a problem.
It's like people believe whatever bullshit is fed to them, and take it for gospel truth.
The Polar Bears are moving south. Weird. It must because their population is exploding. Only explanation.
Well, what happens when a population increases in size and then further discovers easier hunting grounds? Plenty of research on that topic among various predator species.
In *your part* of Canada. They are moving, because their habitat is being destroyed. By climate change.
Oh that explains the 50% rise in the population over the last couple of decades then. Boy, sure glad we know it's climate change that's encouraged them to have increased litter sizes and population growth.
Their natural summer habitate does not exist anymore, so they migrate.
It doesn't? Never been to the sub arctic have you. You must believe that sad story about polar bears floating on ice and starving to death.
So you don't dispose your light bulbs properly but blame the material for environmental hazards?
Think you missed the part of the materials required for the manufacture. Making a incandescent bulb is trivial enough that anyone who passed grade 9 science should be able to do it in their garage.
What the hell brand of CFL ae you using that fail so quickly?
Well that's a question on use isn't it? If you use a CFL for 3/hr day as proscribed by the "average lifetime of the CFL" in question, you'll be able to get away with it for 10 years. On the other hand, if it's used say 6 hours a day, it quickly becomes a year or less that the CFL on average will last. The quality of them has also fallen through the floor as governments have offset the cost via rebate programs, leading more often then note failures with the caps.
LED's are far better I agree, but remember we're talking about CFL's. Though you might not have noticed either that the quality of name brand LED lights has also started to suffer from low quality components. It's kinda like all those 3ft/4ft T5 tubes that were pushed ~10-12 years ago as energy efficient, made with complete shit solid state transformer arrays(from China) that burn out within a couple of years vs the older transformers that oh keep going for decades at a time. Speaking on old, I've got a couple of 3ftx3bulb arrays(T12) that were used for street lights, basically they ran for 10-14hrs/day for 6 months of the year. Short of the bulbs actually dying and becoming impossible to find they're still working strong over 40 years later.
Well the apparent overnight flip of/r/politics from pro-bernie to pro-hillary(and if you're not with her, you're banned) is what drove a lot of people to the_donald. A lot of social and political subs have become full-on echo chambers the last few years, in the canada and canadapolitics subs are complete garbage.
Living in Canada, we've got more polar bears then ever before. The numbers are large enough that they're pushing into brown and black bear territories. Oh, and CFL's? You mean those same CFL's that burn out in half the time of a incandescent, but require more raw materials to make. So... great... for the environment.
As long as someone from the shop with clean hands dispenses the product for you, I might consider it. Typically in the US it's bins that 'grazers' stick their hands in. And it's bad for dealing with food cross contamination.
They file no-trespass orders for that up here in Canadaland.
Or carfenanil, which is much stronger and is being used to cut drugs more often as fentanyl is being squeezed dry. Carfenanil is just plain nasty, a grain the size of sand will either put you into a coma you never wake up from, or will kill you. I do mean it's nasty, it's easily absorbed(skin/lungs/mucus membranes) and has a long half life in the body. The biggest bust in the US has been about 6kg and they called in a hazmat team for it, and the unlucky cop that found it nearly died via OD from a trace amount in the air. Here in Canada it was 42kg and they considered demolishing the house by a controlled burn if they couldn't get a hazmat team in to deal with it.
Screwed up thing about the bust in Canada, you might remember the mass shooting in Toronto a year or so ago. The shooters brother(also likely the source of the gun) was running the stuff, and has been in a coma ever since they found it.
Here in Canada there's a chain of stores called Bulk Barn(basically bulk goods, everything from honey to candied cherries, to milk duds, flour, cream of wheat, and corn flakes), they give you two options. You can use plastic containers/bags and pay for them in the store, or buy glass containers(which have to be checked by the cashier before filling to make sure they're clean), and not pay. They also calculate the empty weight of the container and give you a receipt which then is deducted off the cost of the filled container.
And pop bottles, and milk, and, and, and, and, and. We still do this with beer bottles. Though hard liquor has in many cases moved to plastic as well, and they've tossed a deposit on them. Welcome to 70 years ago guys, where the future is yesterday and this was all done in the name of 'saving money' with telling everyone it was with consumer convenience.
The pop bottles were a fun one, my great aunt worked at a store that handled them exclusively. If you didn't wash them out,you got 5c/return. If you washed them out, you got 15c/return. Which was more then the cost of a bottle of pop.
Either this 'study' is deeply flawed, or it's actually the product of the Russian trolls it speaks of, since this makes precisely zero sense, someone not vaccinating their kids against common diseases is among the obvious definitions of 'unintelligent'. Don't really give a damn what anyone thinks of what I just said, either, so don't bother.
No it makes perfect sense, especially if you believe that education = intelligence. Honestly, your comment comes off as someone lacking world(ly) experience more then anything. Most people learn pretty quickly intelligence and education rarely do meet, and in most cases the stupidest people you'll ever meet are the most educated.
The "better educated" that fall out of the STEM tree generally understand how vaccines work. But looking at the places where there have been outbreaks, like MMR, Chickenpox, whooping cough and so on. They seem to be mainly focused on areas where people would fall into the soft sciences and humanities. The big outbreaks here in Canada started in areas with employees who were highly educated but worked for the government(Ottawa, ON and Hull, QC), or in areas with heavy eco/progressive/liberal bents in Toronto, ON, Montreal, QC, and Vancouver, BC.
But don't worry cause we should start seeing an increase in antibiotic resistant TB, with all the 'migrants' that are being allowed entry and bypassing typical health standards for those who'd immigrate.
Well they have some problems with other wildfire, but the 'camp fire' one? That's going to land on someone else's head, with their little microfit setup that caused it.
That's obviously a conspiracy theory or something./s
Obviously the Muller is a perfect guy, and none of his prior enron cases weren't thrown out because he was inventing evidence of crimes and ended up being lambasted by the appeals court for it.
Read the other charges... You're embarrassing yourself somewhat.
Might want to try that on your own. Maybe you can match up CNN and their inability to read a date properly. If you're looking for embarrassment, try the mirror. Otherwise you wouldn't have made that post when the known evidence shows parallel construction has been going on. That's called the "invention of a crime."
So Stone is an innocent patriots because of Enron. I am beginning to understand you y'all think.
Nope. There's no claim of innocence, only a long history of a prosecutor abusing power and using parallel construction to create a crime. Perhaps you should be asking how he managed to keep his law license.
You mean besides all those tens of thousands of motors in windmills using neodymium magnets right? That were built during the big "green energy is here!" phase during the crash, and when China was tanking the RE market in an attempt to take it over making RE based magnets cheaper then traditional magnets for several years.
An obligatory fact check: Neither PV nor induction generators require ANY rare earths whatsoever. Seriously, school yourself.
Really? So what's with all those neodymium magnets being used for in windmills. And all those companies that have started shifting to cadmium based PV cells aren't using rare earths either, because they offer a higher efficiency rating then standard silicon based cells.
This is also provably wrong, by means of example, since otherwise their operators would be asking for much higher feed-in tariffs than they do nowadays.
So the new windmill farm they slapped up in Michigan and Indiana don't *need* that 0.80kWh FIT rate then? You should let those people know stat.
No that's how they are in north america. There were a lot of laws passed back in the early 00's that changed how tow drivers were allowed to operate, such as "vulturing" on a vehicle needed in a tow, or following police/EMS on the highway to an accident. In general, tow companies are independents. If they want to become part of an association they pay into it by the month by the number of vehicles they have.
So, you own a fleet of 20 tow trucks you usually pay $1k/month per truck for example. The benefit to this system is that there's thousands of independent fleets and CAA/AAA uses the size to cut discounts on fuel/maintenance/safety inspection costs/insurance rates/etc. Since you're on AAA/CAA's priority list, they dispatch the tow as a first pick. The payout from the tow is more then it would cost to dispatch a truck if you simply called on your own. Basically this allows new guys to cut their teeth into the business without the high startup costs too. Since a tow truck will run you around $100k+permits. Around here it's $138+first 20km free for a tow. In the end they point more business to you, so they cover the initial tow cost and if the customer wants a tow outside the free range the tow company keeps the extra. In some cases where there are multiple independents, the system is fully randomized based on where the call is made from.
As for free coverage under warranty service that comes with new vehicles and such. Usually the automaker buys their service directly from CAA/AAA/etc, or in big cities will cut a preferential rate with the largest tow company. For transport trucks and whatnot, since the outlay for one of those tow trucks is $400k-$1.2m/pop they're owned by either a group of shops, or a fleet shop(i.e. peterbuilt/kensworth/etc dealership), a independent shop that operates on a fleet contract/etc. In the case where a bunch of small independent shops(tire/engine/transmission/trailer/etc) have bought in for one of those trucks, they also each get a cut of the service call, usually 5-10%.
Delivery to a garage like that has been illegal in north america for the last 20 years. It was banned because of predatory towing companies in big cities. Similar laws were passed to stop tow truck companies from circling like vultures and showing up when someone has an issue. Again that's illegal nearly everywhere, either by state/provincial law or enforced via bylaws.
Sigh. Mashiki and his sock puppets arrived and started modding.
Gotta be about the most childish thing I've read from a person who claims they're an adult in the last year. Maybe it's time for you to realize that your views are inherently regressive and people have had enough. Besides, if I actually had more then one account I could access...I'd be posting with my 4-UID one that I lost years ago when AT&T Canada shutdown.
Ask me again when he goes away.
Or, you could ask yourself the hard question: "Are my views really so backwards that the majority of people disagree with me?" But that requires introspection, and questioning one's own point of view. Something that you refuse to do even when proof is laid out right in front of you.
You're going to have to grow up sometime or another, and going by the state of the UK. You'd be better off doing it now.
