Suspend the site's permit until the organization shows that it takes its obligations seriously.

I 100% agree they should be flipped. Also, Don Draper was lying when he said that, so it's like doubly apt. Canada feels bad for the US but also is living in their shadow. The USA does think of Canada and has an irrational need to put us down.

The violence is shocking and unacceptable. It's totally possible islamophobia caused the situation to escalate to violence so dramatically. I hope it gets considered at trial.

My guess is that they were sized to fit over extra thick foot wraps.

It's times like these you lose your appetite. It's times like these you and the baker fight.

Lift up your hearts! All will come right. Out of the depths of sorrow and of sacrifice shall be born again the glory of mankind.

We cannot yet see how deliverance will come, or when it will come, but nothing is more certain that every trace ofHitlers's bootstep every stain of his corrupt and corroding finger will be scrubbed and purged and of need be, BLASTED, from the surface of the Earth.

Praying wasn't working, but praying AND fasting might!

Maybe beaver teeth go from orange to brown when they die due to further iron oxidation

Thanks for teaching-me-about/reminding-me-of that acronym.

I've been advocating for the adoption of "people with minority Sexual Orientations and/or Gender Identities" ie "SOGI minorities" or "SOGIm".

I think I still prefer " SOGI minorities" because it's inclusive, and the acronym sort of stands on it's own e.g. I recently learned my province has SOGI curriculum as part of the school system. It's not just about SOGI minorities, it's about helping kids understand what gender is, and isn't.

I do like how GSRM articulates the difference between sexuality and romance though.

Interesting video, thanks for tabulating the data

I'm surprised he is measuring with the fan so close to the ground, with the electronics obstructing the fan downwash, with the anemometer so close to the fan, with the anemometer so close to the edge of the fan, and with the anemometer so irrepeatably placed...

I don't think he has accurately measured the efficiency of the induction motor (no load -> stock blades @ 1 m/s is a power change of 10.5 induction and 19.3 for bldc). He is pretty casual in his dismissal of the cost premium of bldc motors too.

Two other options would be:

A. End of the Molotov/Ribbentrop pact (any war with Russia is technically transcontinental)

B. British sinking of the Vichy fleet (happened in a lot of places right?)

Or paradigm adjustments to the two you suggested:

A. France/Britain declaring war in response to German invasion of Poland (committing their global empires to the conflict)

B. Japanese campaign in Malaysia and Indonesia adding that theatre to Japan's war and putting them at war with.... Ummm other empires.... I think British and dutch?
 

I glove you.

 

My neighbour (40/m) ("N") confided that his recently retired father (70/m) ("G") has started going to the casino twice a day (all day but he comes home for dinner).

G's losses affect the food they eat (multi generational household).

N doesn't really know what to do. I'm not so concerned for N, moreso his mother/G's wife.

It's not my business but, when I was a kid my boyscout leader committed suicide after gambling away his house so I'm pretty sensitive to this sort of thing. I'd like to help if I can.

Any advice?

This goose has adopted my parents, and is attempting to establish residency in their cabin. We suspect it is domestic and escaped from its coop. It's a seasonal cabin and they're planning to close up soon. What should they do? Central Ontario. Near Bracebridge.

UPDATE: A neighbor of theirs is set up for chickens, so could accommodate a goose. And shortly after making that arrangement an ad appeared in the community message board. So the goose is going home.

 

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the scale of the problem of nuclear waste. If we took all the nuclear waste produced in a year and evenly blended it into all gasoline burned in a year would the radiation be deadly? Dangerous? Detectable?

It's easiest to get numbers for the US.

2 000 000 kg of waste per year

510 000 000 000 Liters of gasoline

Obviously this isn't a real proposal, although I think it would reduce carbon emissions...

 

Wikipedia says

A superhero or superheroine is a stock character that typically possesses superpowers, abilities beyond those of ordinary people, and fits the role of the hero, typically using their powers to help the world become a better place, or dedicating themselves to protecting the public and fighting crime.

So yes, he is definitely dedicated to protecting the public, but it feels wrong to call him a super hero. What do you think?
