You got bored and dragged this thread outta the mothballs? Sanders has been dead for 22 years. probably never tried poutine. :D Definitely hadn't ever tried maple syrup on anything or tried any of the tons of recipes with "Canadian bacon" in them. KFC is too oily and too salty for us. The...

Perhaps. perhaps also, you should quit abusing drugs. It may make you a wee bit more coherent and your opinions a wee bit more relevant.

I agree but it isn't because microbes inhale. And as I said, microbes are mostly species specific. Species also have immune systems. Nothing that lives on the planet is immune to humans. And we kill anything that gets in the way, or even kill anything just for the sake of killing it. On top of...

Those little critters are usually quite species specific. Humans aren't as choosy. Nice try.

Well, sorry, but we've caused more damage in a couple hundred years than nature usually does. Outside of large comets smacking the planet, we've managed to do quite a bit in a relatively short period of time. But you are quite right; nature can be pretty devastating. The thing is, we don't...

hehehe Yep, that hive's abuzz with comical nonsense.

Um, nope. Nature didn't get rid of all the marshes and swamps in the Penticton area that were home to a shipload of critters from turtles and newts to muskrats to red-winged blackbirds and other marsh birds. Humans did that. Nature doesn't pave over zoological and botanical habitat; humans do...

Well, one can ignore the effects of our activities, but I think it's silly. We have disrupted other cycles of nature so I can't see this being any different. That's not saying that nature can't adjust, either. We sh|t in our own coop, we have to live with it.

"and the effects on us will be severe." I doubt they'll have much effect around here.

Still waiting for Marvin to frazzle Earth. I ain't gonna predict when, either. I think he has enough domestic problems. K-9 is getting old and I'm sure familial relations with the wife hasn't improved any. I can tell by his usual sour countenance. Um, RE: the "giant asteroid", Apophis, in...

One can use recycled materials. :) Lots of places on the net post instructions. Kinda cool if you like diy projects.

It'd take a "long run" for the solar gear to make up the difference after installation. S'why I built microhydro off the creek here. Last time I looked, the Germans were only saving 15% from solar.

A similar movie we saw recently: In Time (2011) - IMDb Gives a whole new meaning to the term "stealing time". heheh

Really? The coldest we've had it around here was -6 (for one night) and the most snow so far has been about 20cm. This is a area that usually gets snow that stays in November, and is 1+ meters by now as well as temps for this time of year around -10. Was chatting with some people from AB the...

And how much is generated in Canada by foreign-owned companies? Good and interesting question. I may research a bit.

Ah, you mean like living in those places that make you think you're in a mall 24/7/365.

lol Ever spent any time in Osoyoos during the summer? Or Lillouet? Tropical, hell (pun intended), it's downright torrid sometimes. :D

Not here. Rain/snow and 3°C 0°C

He's right. But I am sure most people here are well aware of that. Good luck with that. Anytime is a good opportunity. lmao

You all can call it "Doomsday" if you want. I'm old-fashioned. I'll call it "Friday". :D
