How can we develop a system to fire Senators that is non-partisan?

and who is different?

EVs do fit a niche quite well, local commuting. The problem is they don't do well in long distance travel. Many people/families own multiple vehicles, and if you match the vehicle to the type of driving you do then it will work out well. Many urban residents don't even own a single vehicle because they commute to work using public transit, bicycles, or walking. They rent a vehicle when they need one. If you do mostly local commuting, then you might want to consider an EV for that purpose. You could rent something else when you take the odd inter-city trip. I think the best combination is having both a small EV for local, and a larger diesel vehicle for any distance driving or if you have to carry more people or cargo. Even rural residents could use an EV to get to the neighbours, church, school, and the local town. Renting however is seldom a practical option for rural residents so they would almost certainly have to have the second vehicle a well, more than likely a pickup.

All the production companies are fairly slow. Generally higher voltage charge stations are faster, but there are not many of them around and even they have limits on how much they can draw from the power grid during a short interval. Generally it is the number of miles of range you can get per unit of time at the recharging station. That usually ranges from about 5-50 miles per hour for home based stations, and relatively few commercial stations (only Telsa that I am aware of now) get 200+ miles per hour of recharging. There is much talk about building buffer batteries at commercial charging stations that would take a steady stream of current from the grid and be able to deliver it in rapid bursts, they may even be combined with solar recharging at the station; but that is all in the future. Here is an interesting company to watch: StoreDot

We can thank Emperor Constantine who allowed his armies who practiced Mithraism (Sun worship) to keep their holy day in exchange for their conversion to Christianity.

Stephen Harper was also tall - 6' 2" Abraham Lincoln at 6'4" was the same as Vicente Fox of Mexico The known record goes to Sancho VII Sánchez who stood at 7' 3". He was King of Navarre in the early 1200's, a kingdom in the Basque region crossing the border between the modern day France and Spain. Talking about Vicente Fox, his predecessor from 150 years ago was only 4' 6"

It the homosexual couple is married, then is it fornication? Answer for both civil and church marriage.

So, you are saying that abortions are acceptable in the case of rape?

No, I am saying that the dysfunctional minds of the anti-choice crowd are so focused on their draconian dictatorship over others that they have blinders on. Your 'logic' is illogical.

You will find that most forums that ban trolls, don't actually accomplish that task. The troll simply takes on a new alias.

I tried to get comparable information, so I went to the Bureau of Labour statistics and used the May 2015 numbers in both cases. They have a mean annual wage of $36,370 for Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors and $61,270 for Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers. If you want to factor in overtime and bonus, then it should be applied to both occupations.

Anti-choice is a testament that supports the idea the a bunch of old white men in a room have control over women.

Lithium-ion batteries are not all based on the same chemistry, there is lithium-cobalt-oxide, lithium-iron-phosphate, lithium-ion-magnese-oxide, and several others. There has been incremental improvement over the past 25 years or so that Lithium-ion batteries have been around commercially. There are lots of promising new technologies for batteries that may yield exponential improvement, like Lithium-Sulphur, Sodium-Sulphur, and even Lithium-O2 (often called Lithium-Air). Yes they need to move out of the labs and into product, but how many years were we stuck with carbon-zinc and lead-acid? Another battery technology I have heard about recently is bacteria based. It will be many years out, and probably never make it to automobiles, but it does have some interesting attributes. The benefits appears to be safety due to far less volatile compounds, significant cost savings per unit of energy stored, and far more recharge cycles. The drawback of the technology is slower charge/discharge cycles, measured in hours. While it may not be a good fit for automobiles, it appears to be an excellent fit for solar power storage.

Better hiring practices would help.

The median household income in Canada is about 45% higher than in the US, which tends to balance things out for the average Joe.

#1 - I never made any claim in this specific case, go back and read what I wrote. #2 - You have several times made the claim that the woman was stoned. What is you evidence for that? Not some wild claim the she smoked weed in the past, but that she was stoned when pulled over.

Oops, typo. I assume you meant corporatist.

Pet peeve: those when replying to a single point in a long post, quote the entire post. I like to focus on a single sentence, or sometimes just a few words. The header with the quote allows one to scroll back if they want bigger context. That get's us to the 'improvements' part. I would like the software to allow me (perhaps when scrolling over quote header) to bring up the comment quoted. That capability should allow for nesting as well. When quoting someone, particularly someone who writes novels, I would appreciate being able to just highlight what I am interested in and then hitting quote so I don't have to go through the entire War and Peace a second time to find the sentence that I am interested in and delete what is before and after.

When the cop asks for your "license and registration" and then shots you dead for complying, then that is first degree cold blooded murder.

I wonder what that will do to tourism. I remember when France put on a visa requirement for Canadians and others in the late 80's, their tourism declined. That didn't last too long.

I can't afford to do that. While we continue this tangent that is about a billion miles away from the subject of Transgender, could someone explain to me why we do a cool down period after intense exercise. I understand stretching beforehand, but how can a cool down period help if the damage is already done? I have opened a topic in the Health, Science and Technology group as the discussions in the Sports group appeared to be more focused on spectator sports.

This is to pickup from a tangental discussion in the 'Transgender' thread that drifted about a billion miles off topic. The basis for this discussion is the expression "No pain, no gain". While there are earlier examples, it became a popular motto in the 80's thanks to Jane Fonda and her exercise video's. Those disciples of Fonda like to say you must "feel the burn" in order to have a rewarding workout. There are many examples of pain associated with exercise. Sharp intense pain during exercise might be a sign of doing severe damage to the muscle fibre, a burning sensation during intense exercise might be a buildup of lactic acid in the muscles, and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is that dull aching pain/tenderness/soreness you often experience the next day (often after that game of touch football with your buddies you haven't seen in 15 years - ie. doing doing an exercise you don't regularly do). Some people swear by the "no pain, no gain" motto, and others say any pain is a sign of damage and should be avoided. The best way to avoid the pain is to do proper stretching before any exercise and have a cool down period afterwards. There are lots of issues we can explore here: What do we know about exercise related pain, is it good or bad, do you still exercise to the point of pain, if the damage is already done then what is the purpose of a cool down period?

Been there, done that. make informed decisions that demonstrate respect for themselves and others and help to build healthier relationships, using a variety of living skills Could you explain where your enthusiasm for pedophiles comes from? Your argument is not solid, it is limp.

You can serve in the military for 9 months or civilian service for 13 months. Most however choose the military option.
