  1. And to lose against the flow of the Game at that. Gotta give credit to the Panther's defence when the Oilers controlled the puck overwhelmingly.
  2. As a security risk... says the man posting from his Windows PC.....
  3. So who's proposing that? Only total ignorant blockheads like Trump are promoting coal in 2024. And the ones just being stubborn contrarians claiming that's how we make electricity. Might as well be talking about electricity made from whale oil. That IS the entire point behind all this. They'll be announcing tariffs on Chinese EVs today, supposedly to protect jobs here but overall a roadblock to promoting EV adoption.
  4. See what I mean? Freedumb to post shit like that. It still exists but is indefensible
  5. FFS perspective, among these Trumpalos, Russian trolls and MAGA retreads. you're a hard leftist. Nixon and Eisenhower are left to them.
  6. BTW I have a buddy in Montreal who says it's pretty good for bikes there. He never lived in Vancouver to compare it with though. I used to ride all over there when I was young and dumb, even out to see a gf in Haney, Didn't like going down and up from N Burnaby to South or down the hill into New West but it was manageable. Try biking to SFU if you want a workout going up and a real thrill coming down!
  7. Why was it a shock? Don't even believe the polls you guys have been quoting incessantly? It's was a by-election and the shock is that they barely won it. I was expecting a 10-15% margin at least. By-elections often go against a standing govt over the slightest annoyance at it. Seems a shallow upset with the level of annoyance at Trudeau being reported.
  8. If they didn't like the deal they wouldn't buy it. No shame in charging that. BC even buys back power when it's cheap to fill up the dams and sell it back when demand and prices are higher.
  9. That offends you too, but publicly calling for the genocide or deportation of Arabs is "free speech" in your book. Or so it seems.
  10. As pointed out in the article I linked, a lot of hydrogen is a byproduct of something else. Now just being released into the atmosphere. And at every hydro dam there are many hours they aren't generating to capacity. That amounts to electrical potential being wasted. Toss in what could be made with other green energy. Don't give ammunition to the "we aren't doing it right now, so it can't be done" crowd/
  11. You would have no problem seeing that stuck next to you in traffic? You take pride in that you could do that if you wanted to? One of those MAGAS that thinks assholiness = greatness?
  12. The Bible and Encyclopedia Britannica are books written by men. Both by committees of men. It is their interpretation of God's word. You were blessed with a brain to interpret it yourself rather than blindly accept someone elses.
  13. We're talking with people who insist bringing your kid to a Pride event or nude beach would be sexually abusing them. These are the deviants, the sexually repressed that must force themselves not to instantly turn into crazed rapists at the sight of a woman in a short skirt or tight clothes, who think wet Tshirts are cool but bare breasts are obscene. Toss in the words Drag Queen to fully trigger them.
  14. Forum thread title says he was punished for exposing mutilations. What more clarification do you need? Mmmmkay? -Mr Mackey
  15. Child sees breasts as for nursing. MAGA sees breasts as sexual organs. Child sees clothing as something to keep warm. MAGA sees clothing as sexual announcement. Child must have been indocrinated with deviant perversions. Must protect the children!
  16. The hardcore ones in Vancouver manage in raincoats, but do they even make snow tires for bicycles? And just imagine going shopping at Ikea or Costco on a bike! An Ootmar chesterfield or twelve year supply of toilet paper strapped on your back.
  17. Oh don't you wish that was true! Last three times I was in the market all 3 had stopped making what I was looking for and converted to bigger, lees functional, way more expensive versions. I noticed that in the 10 years since I bought my Wrangler the base price has doubled, the 2 doors are missing off the lots for the $80-$90K models and they've improved the gas mileage by a whole 0.1L/100km. And all vehicles now have multi thousands of dollars of computers and screens almost as powerful as a $100 Raspberry Pi.
  18. Because you're not a malicious petty loser. The market is growing fast enough that the BC govt dropped the qualifying price for EV subsidies from $55K to $50K, and Tesla (top selling "car") instantly dropped it's price to $49,900. Leaving "only" a choice of 70 EVs that qualify.... Don't quote the blundering mis-steps of the Big 3 as sales indicators. The USA has fallen so far behind in auto innovation it's pitiful to look to them for inspiration.
  19. Well WHO was it that got his keeners to block a solution to he could use it as an election whining point? On people so stupid they already forgot that.
  20. They see Opportunity. Something so many of us raised here are unable to see right in front of our eyes. So we scapegoat them as schadenfeude rather than try harder.
  21. So you admit your own prejudice out loud, but can't see it yourself. Just as you can't see your inability or refusal to distinguish sympathy for Palestinian people from support of Hamas as another flaw in reasoning. Reasoning requires one to distinguish fact from what you (want to) believe.
  22. They ARE EVs. Burning hydrogen in and ICE is, because that is an inefficient technology, more than 60% loss to heat and friction. Fuel cells deliver almost 100% of the fuel into electricity, and electric motors almost up to 90% of the energy to the drive wheels. Hydrogen injection into diesel engines increases mileage and reduces emissions, similar to ethanol increasing the octane rating and lowers emissions in gas engines. Fuel cells have a way to go yet in cars, give them 10 years they'll be a little more than BEVs. They're already in server rooms and broadcast sites all over the place.
  23. Wow what a GENIUS decision. Save money by not treating sick people. Just think of how much you'd save by not treating anyone. GENIUS I tell you GENIUS!
  24. You've been selling it to them for decades. Wanna waste even more? Mine Bitcoins.
