I'm guessing they're thinking something like this;
2 guys leaving a bar
Guy 1 : I think you're too drunk to drive Guy 2 : Nah, I'm fine. Guy 1 : Oh really? Prove it. Guy 2 : *blows double the legal limit* Oh. *goes to call a cab*
Why would mining companies care about Global Warming?
No idea. Haven't a clue why companies that mine coal would care about global warming or related regulation. It obviously wouldn't have any effect on them or their market.
No, that is constant. 48VDC (-48V if you want to be technical, as it's a positive-ground system to prevent corrosion) all the time. The intermittent load for ringing is 90VAC@20Hz over top of the constant.
declaring that "homosexuality makes God want to vomit" and is "a paramount sin."
I've never understood those kinds of people. It's been proven over and over again that homosexuality is perfectly normal among animals, yet when people do it it's suddenly unnatural?
because that "proof" is obviously propaganda created by the liberal elite scientists to further their goal of legitimizing these disgusting "people"'s lifestyle choices and lead the people away from the True Way of Salvation through our Lord.
by the way; if I'm not mistaken, President Obama took that exact same "separate but equal" gutless position.
Though he did basically go "we're not going to bother defending this" with regards to the DOMA. Not that it changed things much given that congress is picking up that torch and dragging it out for a few more years.
Of course. Why do you think the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, representing BMW, Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Jaguar, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Toyota, the Volkswagen Group (which includes Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, and koda), and Volvo, supported SOPA?
Because the social conservatives, conned fiscal conservatives, single issue voters, and gullible people got together and elected a majority Conservative government.
They're not going to tell the to fuck off because they full-heartedly agree with them on this matter.
The funniest part is people going on and on about how expensive ODB-II scanner are... first of all yes in 1998 they were thousands of dollars, but I bought one half a decade or so ago, pretty full featured too, for something like 3 tanks of gas (and I drive a small car, for a SUV its probably more like one tank). Seriously, they cost less than an old fashioned PDA, figure less than a hundred bucks and you're good.
Great. Now you have a number which is meaningless without the dealer's big book of trade secrets.
Your figure assumes that 100% of the plant matter per year is transformed into coal/oil/etc. This is not even close. Only about 0.0093% of the carbon in plant matter becomes fossil fuels. The remainder stays in the carbon cycle.
That comes to 3.72% of annual plant matter generation to supply the same energy. Though probably at least double that to account for efficiency.
Whether that amount is sustainable is left as an exercise for someone else.
We did. Then the country's collection of social conservatives, conned fiscal conservatives, single-issue voters, and gullible people managed to get the Conservative party (formerly the Reform party) into a majority government.
nuclear power doesn't follow load unless you make it more expensive overall and put extra stress on the nuclear reactor (reducing its economic life).
Doing load-following nuclear doesn't put "extra stress on the reactor". It has fuck-all to do with the reactor itself. The load following is accomplished via appropriate design of the steam system. You are right that it is more expensive though.
I hear Canada is moving to the polymer banknotes too.
Yep, the new Frontier series is polymer. They released the new $100 in November, the new $50 comes out next month, and the remainder will be out by the end of 2013.
We're also releasing new loonies and toonies made of plated steel (rather than the current solid nickel) this year. The vending machine companies have been running around to update their machines to handle them.
They didn't "decide" per se. What they did was read from uninitialized memory. Quick, simple, and cheap method to get a random value, and it works pretty much everywhere.
Then some helpful person noticed they were reading from an uninitialized variable and not understanding why, went ahead and "fixed" it and no one noticed for a few years.

To require people to have some method of ascertaining their blood alcohol status available in their vehicle.
Presumably, the idea is that if people can be given irrefutable evidence that they're too drunk to drive, they won't.
No, this has nothing to do with ignition interlocks.
Might be assumed, but Stryker is an actual name. There's two of them in my phone book.

Surely it can't take more than a hundred milliamps to run the laser and a little embedded processor, and perhaps a bit more to ring the phones.
Great. That's only about 5 times designed system load.
Telsta's maximum line loading is 3 REN, which is a 7000 ohm impedance. Times 48V, that comes to 20.6mA.

The vaccine isn't approved for males. Not yet, anyway.
Where are you? The US FDA approved gardasil for men back in 2009 and Heath Canada approved in in 2010.

Actually, that song was originally by the Arrogant Worms. Still an amusing song.
Arizona is lucky we dont turn it back into a territory.
Can't we just turn it back into Mexico?
I think Mexico has enough of their own problems without you adding to them.

Keep in mind there is something called well casing which essentially protects the hole all the way to the surface.
Which have this annoying habit of failing horribly according to the TFA.
Each group started on their pills and they checked for effect 3 days later.
Possibly this study or a similar one.

Depends on which exact branch. There's literally dozens of them with quite varying views on almost everything.
You're lucky. Goodale is likely to pay attention, unlike Tom "filibuster"/"A guy" Lukiwski.
Maybe his staff will at least get a kick out of my letter written on E size paper.
