    Drax: UK power station owner cuts down primary forests in Canada

    Ya mean. . . battery backup is unsafe? Oh dear. We'd better rely exclusively on clean, safe, patriotic oil, coal, and natural gas!

    Drax: UK power station owner cuts down primary forests in Canada

    No, I'm suggesting that the grid be fed by fossil, wind, solar, hydro, nuclear (and later fusion, tidal, solar-power satellites, and whatever comes next), Are you saying that we've reached the end of the line on electricity generation, storage, and transmission, and no further developments are...

    Drax: UK power station owner cuts down primary forests in Canada

    Wow. Power lines. What a trip! You mean you don't need an oil-or-coal fueled generator attached to every electrical device? You don't seem to understand how this works. Solar and wind energy is pumped into the grid. The solar panel factories run off the grid. It's like asking if any of...

    Drax: UK power station owner cuts down primary forests in Canada

    Building technology requires the use of predecessor technology. The engines for the first Me-262s were delivered by oxcart. Good point about the prairie. If only there were some way to move electricity from place to place!

    Religious exemption at Confession

    Exactly. And rat out the priest. "I'll give you the priest I told about it for a lighter sentence."

    Maybe they were ridesharing to save money?

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    A complete handgun ban is primarily intended to choke off supply, legal and illegal. I'm not sure that's possible when you have thousands of kilometres of undefended borders with the most gun-happy country in the world. The key question for anybody serious is how a society can make the...

    New Italian PM joins long line of oddball politicians

    I remember a while back when they had a porn star in Parliament. It was nice that they had ONE member who wasn't a whore.

    I Do Believe

    No Argos fan, if that's what you mean. I was thinking of the location of the stadium. Forgot for a sec Tim Hortons Field was actually closer. I like the Riders and the Redblacks. Too bad they both suck this year.

    Religious exemption at Confession

    To an extent, but if one is to make people who aren't government employees "mandatory reporters," how are clergy different from anybody else? Would you support a law requiring anybody who comes by knowledge, or reasonable suspicion of child abuse, to report it (or else)?

    I Do Believe

    Appreciate it, but I'm back in the Land of the Whatever and the Home of Whatever. I was annoyed that all the games were in Westernesse while I was up yonder. I could have easily gotten to an Argos or a Ti-Cats game.

    2SLGBTQQIA+

    Down hereabouts, they give cop applicants the Wonderlic Cognitive Assessment test. If you come up as "smart," they don't hire you.

    I Do Believe

    Well, I did indeed wander up for a couple of weeks. Saw nine plays in ten days at Shaw and Stratford. Gotta say, y'all are RIGHT! In all the bars, the restaurants, and all the other places people meet, all the talk in Ontario was of ways and means to ENSLAVE the good folk of Westernesse! The...

    2SLGBTQQIA+

    This all turns on the false assumption that gays and lesbians are more likely than straights to be child molesters. No matter how often that's proven false, the hysterical straight cowards love to use it to avoid facing up to the realities of child molestation.

    Religious exemption at Confession

    It's a tough one. You have to weigh the value of confidentiality of priest-penitent privilege in producing true confessions against the danger/damage to kids. Legally, there's the whole question of freedom of religion. Clearly you can make government employees "mandatory reporters," but...

    Indonesia: At least 125 dead in football stadium crush

    Aw, c'mon! Who would think that firing tear gas in a stadium would lead to a stampede to the exits?

    Clearly, the solution to all Canada's problems is more guns.
