The solution is easy: Say it’s Trudeau’s justice and ignore the ruling. /s

Honestly the less rights parents have the better, IMO. They need certain rights just to operate but man, some of them are very shit people.

Thanks, subbed.

Why doesn’t it say fediverse? Even in scare quotes. I don’t think they would actually do it, but I’m imagining a nightmare scenario where they try launching their own platform.

Realistically it would be, they’re not about to cut 99%+ of users off from their announcements.

Hell, for really important stuff they still go with snail mail.

Is there documentation of that somewhere?

Social science is often slippery like that. This is still pretty suggestive, though.

There probably should be a carveout for that.

Israel is in no way a useful check to Iran. Everyone in the region either hates them or tolerates them for money. They do not have an interest in attacking Iran at scale abroad, or the population to sustain it. If anything they serve as a useful strawman for Iran.

Also, I’d like to point out our “allies” in the region are just as bad. Iran isn’t a real democracy. Saudi is openly an absolute monarchy and holds public beheadings for fun.

I mean, the data is only about funding rates that actually exist. No law enforcement at all would be jumped on by organized crime (that’s called a power vacuum, and isn’t a thing in Canada), but apparently an especially light police presence is no different from a heavy one.

What it most directly supports policy-wise is scaling down the local police a bit. The real work will still get done by whatever investigative teams.

Wow, I wouldn’t be surprised by little connection or uneven, but none?

I’m guessing the important police work is carried out far from the local level with programs targeting organised crime and similar. Apparently the local guys write tickets and that’s it. I would have at least expected they’d help by showing up to drunken brawls before they escalate, but apparently not.

“America” is the only one I can think of. Not OP, though.

“They did the math”. Thanks!

I’d be a bit more conservative with some of those numbers. I don’t actually know how much they let the logs dry; it could be they’re usually shipped green to avoid damage to them at the site of felling. Furthermore, 1,000km might be a more typical distance for wood to be shipped in Canada, since most of the forest is way up north, far from population centers. We’ve still got comfortably an order of magnitude, though.

Cutting the logs down to size probably takes negligible energy by comparison, and is going to be electricity-based at this point anyway. I’d also have used carbon mass rather than energy, but that’s actually going to work in our favour, because petroleum gets a lot of it’s energy from the hydrogen within it as well, while wood is effectively carbon+water for plant biology reasons.

I’m going to have to read this report. How does that work? There’s no way cutting down a tree, shipping it and processing it requires a tree-worth of fuel. Yeah, you could let the forest keep growing, but from what I’ve heard it slows down pretty good at a certain point, and eventually starts decaying as well. Maybe way more of it is going to paper than I would have expected?

Yes. But only if they refuse to acknowledge that you’re an adult and don’t belong there. Otherwise it’s just reading small books and adding numbers together manually.

You must have caught that schmuck on a really bad day. I’m not upset by it, because we are really hard to tell apart. Some people do take mild offence, but it’s a pretty unfair thing to expect someone to guess.

Often, it’s good to point out you’re Canadian abroad, because we’re just less hated globally. Occasionally being “American” can be handy, especially in America.

I mean, they would point out that you have a ton of hydro power potential that we don’t. I would counter that we were drawing from the battery storage plants we have during that period, which were themselves charged up by the solar plants (since there’s no reason to charge a battery off of a gas plant).

How to cheaply store renewables is kind of a trillion-dollar question right now, but I’m sure it will be answered. At the very least, we’re good at drilling into things and could make some nice pumped air plants.

So, is Danielle smith going to try and blame it on the little sprinkling of renewables that currently is active?

Well, that’s not an uncommon story around the world. Is there history around the KMT in Miaoli specifically?

So why is the KMT so popular in Miaoli? Otherwise this would basically be a straight urban-rural split, with just a bit of ambiguity in the capital.
