The ecological damage of urban sprawl?

time

Time is money. If you can clone a steak, you can skip the feeding and growing of a cow, not to mention the long term pay of scientists or farmers to keep them going.

Clone the steak, wrap it up, and place them right beside the Maple Leaf Bacon you can cook in 5 seconds.

And then technically the vegans won't be able to complain and moan about killing animals. And then they could eat meat again. It wasn't made from an animal, it was made in a lab. Then a machine beside your microwave.

Tea... Earl Gray, Hot!

Apparently the key is to go to an APPLIANCE store to buy one, rather than Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart's ones are made for reheating, not cooking. I remember the one we got when they first came out, and it was for cooking. It had a turkey setting for pete's sake.

LOL be here in 15 minutes for dinner, just put the bird in the nuke YUM

My mom used to do tons of cooking in the old microwave. My family owned an appliance store, and she'd cook meals for people at trade fairs even. Her garlic dry ribs were to die for. She rocked at cooking in that thing. Never did try a turkey though. :smile:

Man if you want a super microwave, steal one from the Deli Dept in Sobeys. While working night shift back in the day the crew decided to grab a box of ribs from the freezers to have for our lunch, popped the whole thing in the mic, and I don't think it was anymore then 60 second and the frigging things were fried pretty crispy, straight from being frozen.

Ottawa is a good example of bad urban planning. We're building all these suburbs with giant houses and two car garages in the middle of nowhere. Then these people have to drive into the city center to work. We don't have any public transit to speak of because our idiot of a mayor doesn't have a plan. We build our hockey arena (Scotiabank place) in the middle of nowhere and all our fans have to drive or take a bus to go see a game. When tourist come to Ottawa and ask where they can see a Senators game we tell them to take two buses out to the outskirts of Kanata.
What should be done is instead of building these communities outside the city are to build more apartments and condominiums in the city. And better public transit. Ottawa has failed at this. We have Stittsville, Kanata, Barhaven, St. Laurent, and Gloucester, all surrounding the city. And we have no light rail, subway, or streetcars. All we have is a bad bus service.

Right on Gonzo: And too bad. The light rail "plan" (chuckles to self) has fallen flat twice now, and probably never will see daylight.

Unowhat!! We used to have trains running from Ottywaw to Kemptville to Chesterville, and beyond. The system was there, and the hub was the old Union (?) Station. They mothballed the works years ago. This was not 'light' rail, but come on, how hard can it be when most of the infrastructure is in place. Bureaucrats can make it hard. Just as hard as one can imagine.

This is what ya get when you try to figure it out..........:banghead:

A city that was going to spend over 400,000. bucks to house swans. Thank god that got tanked. People phoned in and volunteered to takem for 5000 a year, house them in a barn with a pool, clean water, and put em back in the spring..........Jesus H Christ.

Don't even get me started on parking fees.....................:banghead::banghead:

Common sense went out the window when Charlotte Whitten died.

Frig this, I"m goin to look at cartoons..........

:lol:

What are you talking about? There are condos/apartments going up everywhere east of Bayshore. The bus service is fine, but expensive - get an eco pass for almost half the monthly cost. The 'train' kind of sucks, but it gets me to Carleton U in LESS than 4 minutes, not bad.

What's this plan you speak of? Our mayor wasn't in office when the O-train, or the transit-way was in the planning stages. Whatelse is he supposed to do as far as OC transpo is concerned - more buses, more buses more frequently? What's he allowed to spend on public transit, given the state of the city budget? Keep in mind, I grew up in Bells Corners and haven't driven a day in my life. I do know about suburban bus th service than I'd care to, in the ares you mentioned above.

The arena is hardly in the middle of no where, although rapid transit to games and concert would be a big plus (like they during Ex) Where else, in the city, could it have been built?

Do we live in the same city? :lol:
