Your link brings us two options 1) A link to crosswordclues.com 2) A wikipedia link for the bio-research module for the International Space Station. You couldn't have faceplanted harder on this bud.

Biolab =/ Biological weapon development ? but I don't, and didn't. I'm not sure where you get that from, but you're the guy that believes in...space vampires...or...whatever...we're just making stuff up here right?

No. The first and most obvious question would be: Why the hell would they fund biological weapon development in UKRAINE of all places?!? Ukraine is full of Russians and russian-speaking people, and right next to the Russian border. Of all the places they could do this, this would literally be one of the least safe places in the world to do it for the US outside of Russia itself. Your money is on the dumbest and most convoluted explanations, along with whatever Vladimir Putin is feeding you on Telegram and 4dchan.

Yeah I mean it's not like there are landlord and leasehold laws, and that you can't just evict someone because you feel like it, or that there weren't COVID restrictions against evicting certain businesses up until January 31st. The ONLY rational explanation is that the guberment conspired to shut them down. Correlation is ALWAYS causation...yup!

Because it didn't actually say what you were pretending it did. We've already been over how hilariously poorly you interpreted that data. ?

No, it's really not, and I know enough teachers and golf enough with them in the summer to know how "hard" they're working during their "summer planning time". Like every job, they have to deal with bullshit like snowflake parents crying about their kids learning about evolution, or especially online learning through COVID, but they're so overpaid to begin with and work so fewer hours than the everyone else that it's impossible to feel sorry for them.

No, but there's showing videos when you don't feel like teaching anything, downloading all your lesson plans from the web, doing the bare minimum and never having to worry about losing your job... There's suicides in every profession and every profession has stress. The difference is teachers only work 9 months a year, and even then aren't doing full work days. The "planning time" that most of them profess to is grossly exaggerated, though there are exceptions.

but not paying the lease is why they were evicted...not because they served coffee to truckers ?

because whatever he gains invading Ukraine will be lost in the decimation of the Russian economy and the lives and equipment the Russian forces lose fighting the Ukrainian army and then the armed insurgency they'll face for years to come. This is the end of Putin. It just might take awhile for it to be realized. He misjudged the resolve and unity of NATO, the fighting spirit of the Ukrainians, and the motivation and training of Russian conscripts.

The pay scale increases rapidly and it takes hardly any time to get to the top of it with a few accreditation courses. Depends on the university professor, but universities don't offer tenure to anyone but the most prestigious and published researchers/educators in their field, so the majority of "professors" are on shitty short term contracts, have terrible pay and virtually no job security - mostly because mediocre tenured profs were too militant with their negotiations and were nowhere near what they're being paid. The younger and starting ones pay the price.

I said it's only one piece...as in there are other factors that are equally as important, like infectiousness, which explains why COVID was so much more dangerous than the flu (and other viruses). In your brilliant medical mind, that was "wrong", and then I proceeded to explain why infectiousness is so important and it's the reason why COVID was so much more dangerous than ebola despite being far less deadly (at least 25x lower IFR), you proceeded to call that baffling gobbledygook. I'd chalk that up to reading comprehension on your part, but you so constantly faceplant on any fact-based discussion that it's hard to give you the benefit of the doubt.

No doubt. So it's pretty tough to feel sorry for the Ontario teachers working 9 months a year and making almost $100k before benefits.

Absolutely ridiculous to be evicted for not paying rent. TOtally ridiculous. COmplete conspiracy.

It's too bad it's so easy to go back and review these posts: with you telling me I'm "wrong" about the importance of infectiousness... Oops!

Man...it would be so HARD to have to work for 6.5 hours a day for 9 months a year, never having to worry about job security. Those brave heroes. To be fair having to teach classrooms remotely online is horrible and every teacher I know is miserable doing it. That's a fair point.

What's even funnier is that you of all people, are talking about mental gymnastics for anything medical. Here we have you offering your brilliant insights on vaccines when just the other day you denied that infectiousness was an important factor in determining how dangerous a virus is. Oh boy.

Yeah it's nothing like being a public school teacher.

Lots of teachers are retiring with good pensions and new teachers aren't getting certified in a reasonable amount of time. Combine that with teachers having to stay at home because of COVID protocols and you have a nice little stew of dysfunction for the time being.

Private school teachers have a very different job than public school teachers. For one thing, a private school teacher can actually lose their job without having to beat a student up first.

Why's that?

Look at that we agree on something. Personally I sympathize with nurses. They go through a lot of schooling to work terrible hours in an emotionally taxing, stressful and sometimes dangerous environment. Teachers on the other hand? Yeah. Union gone mad.

Ukraine has been pushing to join NATO for ages. It's not hard to see why. On the one hand they see modern democratic institutions and free participation in the EU and global economy. On the other side of their border they see an old-school dictator overseeing a crumbling economy, fading demographics whilst waving his weapons around pretending that Russia is still a global power. Regardless, NATO rebuffed them so as not to provoke a war.

Yes I know, but I believe their may be a few among them with some common sense. Not this particular one. I may as well just block him.

Is it the UK press, or the UK tabloids and fringe websites you get from your 4dchan links? I follow British news constantly and haven't seen anything of the sort. Other than some losers complaining that he met the Queen without wearing the mask (I'm sure the protocol was 100% up to the Queen and her staff), there's not much news about him at all. They acknowledge his popularity tanked with the Emergencies Act, but that's hardly news. How many thousands of protesters were arrested in Ottawa, btw?

Great, but they're still paid better than they need to be to work 9 months a year, especially considering the massive backlog of young (and better educated) teachers trying to find employment with the Boards. I'm curious how you reconcile this position with the fact that the Teacher's Unions endorse, fundraise and advertise for the Liberal or NDP party in every election. In addition to being overpaid for their hours, training and education, are they also woke totalitarian fascists? ?
