  1. Friend has the same car for over a year. Lives in Cloverdale and does sales routes from Hope to Vancouver. He's very happy with it. Another with a Tesla does tech stuff out of Williams Lake from Prince George to Kamloops. Obviously overnights on a service call, always did, just has to plug in overnight. Both trying to talk me into one, but it's 200 km just to Costco-WalMart-Superstore, a specialist or the nearest relative and I can only write off meals and motels for medical... PHEV makes more sense. Could put 220 in the carport but other PHEV owners here did just fie with 110V even in the cold snap. They're eating, watching Netflix or sleeping for over 12 hours after work anyway.
  2. Try cutting and pasting things into a word doc, editing that and then copy/paste that into your reply. Like you have to do on FB to format anything.
  3. These people can't see climate change in front of their own eyes and will believe any conspiracy theory over what's obvious. Surely they can't tell someone's in a state of mental decline just by listening to them speak. Come on the guy couldn't maintain a coherent train of thought in 2016, now if he even gets a name right he can't finish what he was trying to say about them in the first place.
  4. Of all my family members who traditionally vote Tory, every single one was screaming at the TV for Trudeau to clear the bums out. All retained the mental clarity to distinguish a protest from what it had turned into. Dream on, Harper would've reacted at least as harshly but much sooner. And he had the nuts to distinguish himself and conservatism from that mod of mor0ns.
  5. I used to think reason10 was the dullest pencil in the box. Now I found one without any lead in the middle....
  6. So says the Phd of stoopid irrational. Mr. "I believe in freedumb" so long as I can order other people what to do.
  7. They're not giving guns to gangbangers. They're selllng guns to gangbangers. That's completely different. Communists would give them guns. That makes the gun manufacturers good guys !
  8. You should speak. Doesn't make a difference if you're an Awami League supporter from Sri Lanka if you think like a MAGA. Can't see any similarity between mobs demanding democratic rule be overthrown in favour of their demands? It can be difficult to see fascism as fascism when you tout it incessantly while insisting you're not one.
  9. Women outnumber men in the population. Gonna argue that? So you want to remove the rights of the majority of people to protect 'rights' of people who don't exist? Concluding: your are MEN, you are not qualified to decide on the subject. Harris is. TFB
  10. It is overly difficult to accomplish. A glitch this forum software has never addressed. IE addressing quotes within quotes to the wrong poster. Kind of like how MSoft updates Windows with heaps of new features and fails to address simple but annoying problems with it since Windows 3.
  11. Yep, typical MAGA speak, take reality and twist reality backwards. An Act of Parliament that required the cooperation of multiple parties is fascist, not the occupying mob terrorizing citizens, demanding the govt be dismissed in favour of their chosen appointees and shutting down national borders. Yeah that was Canada's Jan 6th with the patriotic loving peaceful patriots simply touring the Capitol.
  12. Oh. They'll have to think about using it in similar circumstances. Perhaps not let it drag on for so damn long and just order the Mayor on Day Two to send in the local police charging on horseback swinging billy clubs after one more reading of the riot act. Just like the good old days Try it again and see.
  13. Even as he stands before the Supreme Court demanding that he is entitled to the Divine Right of Kings? I am hopeful there are enough sane, decent people remaining in the USA that should the nutless GOP still endorse him as their candidate and he is not already behind bars by election day, he will be trounced in an overwhelming fashion.
  14. What does one say to someone who starts a thread with the false presumption that future Federal Energy policies had anything whatsoever to do with Alberta's brownouts in extraordinary conditions now. then wants you to 'imagine' how bad it would be should 90% the current power sources were turned off.... like I said before I can't imagine anyone that simple minded, only someone so stubbornly enjoying being a contrary troll for the h=sheer joy of pissing others off. But as we see in some posts, there are quite a few other dimwits that actually think you are making and actual logical argument for your case.
  15. Do you even know what FTFY means? Making up absolute shit and posting it as if someone else did is not it. But we're all aware of your limited skills.
  16. You can't. Just like you can't explain how someone reoffends the minute they've done their time. There simply isn't a simple solution.
  17. Here's the skinny on that guy: https://theprovince.com/news/crime/bc-man-21-impaired-driving-convictions/wcm/1e5a013f-99b9-4a5e-bf2f-3cb7b59a8e98 The guy's been locked up umpteen times for years, reoffends as soon as he's out. How the hell do you buy or rent cars with a lifetime suspended license or get insurance for it? You borrow someone's. You use a work vehicle. You steal one. The guy should be in a psych institute forever.
  18. Exactly. During the height of the lockdowns unionized staff at the grocery store refused to stop checking out unmasked customers under the right to refuse unsafe work rules. The manager when called told them just check the guy through and get him out of the store ASAP, do't hold up everyone making a scene. Only time the cops showed was when other customers went after the antimask a$$hole out in the parking lot.
  19. It's fine the way it is. The send me a card to show I'm on the list, check the list and cross me off to get a ballot. It's up to me to get on the list if a card isn't sent and I have to have enough motivation to get off my ass and go to the polling station. One day Treebeard you'll be able to vote from home, only if you first install the Feds VoteVPN with 2 factor authentication and have forgotten how well they did a Payroll system. or ArriveCan and have never used any abortion they call a web interface in your life. Shit, hire a team of 6 with computer degrees and give them a week to apply for EI or CPP online for you!
  20. And for $15 an hour, no one's likely to. Clerks will ignore you., security might yell, fuss and snap a pic to send to the cops who might, just moght respond. In 5 years, the pic will go into the store's computer which will flag you with facial recognition cameras at the entry and you'll be barred from entry. The guy monitoring the indoor cameras from India will get 5 rupees to push the button and enter a still of anyone he sees shoplifting on the 300 cameras of the 50 stores he has to monitor.
  21. Did I say someone should shoot at Trump? If so I'd prefer it was a US firing squad for treason and insurrection. Unmasked and on live TV so everyone could see him blubbering "witch hunt, it's not fair... wah" as they ready, aimed...
  22. Zero of which to thank Smith for. And the others you want to justify not looking at because someone else isn't fully invested in it? I do recognize Alberta isn't known for volcanic hot spots. BC is and we're dragging our asses on that as well. People are loudly blabbing about SMR. no one doing. People belittled storage and boom, Musk built a battery one for Australia. Add to that, what's to say Alberta can't partly or fully own a project in another province. A million solutions, and here you all go refusing any. That's my point. FFS you can even convert oil and gas into hydrogen, hide the carbon under the rug if you're too dumb to use it for something and then make thermo-electric,
  23. Dinosaurs are terrified by minority govt dictators and teen age girls as much as they are by needles. And uneducated enough to be proud to flog that fact as often as they can, regardless of how stupid it makes the look.
