Ah that’s right, he openly criticized Harper about the TPP process not being open and transparent, and then kept his process entirely behind closed doors.

Well, so one of the few campaign promises he followed through with was about reducing accountability. You’ve gotta see the irony in that.

His entire political career has been on gaslighting Canadians, literally from Day 1.

Like he spent his entire campaign rallying against Harpers TPP agreement, and then immediately signed it after the election.

Or when he closed the finances for Treaty reserves, because it turned out that the narrative of Canadians being behind the poor conditions in reserves falls apart when you look at the funding and see 95% of the money they get goes directly to the band leadership and stays there.

Basically every thing he does it to dodge accountability, and he will straight up say one thing while doing the opposite.

The biggest issue with Chernobyl, which was also showcase in the show, wasn’t that the reactors had a potentially dangerous design, it’s that the Soviet Government hid the flaw from the reactor operators. So to their understanding an RMBK reactor couldn’t possibly blow up. Because the boron control rods would kill any reaction. And they either weren’t aware of the carbon tips, or at least the risks they posed.

So yes, the operators intentionally cooked the Chernobyl reactor to a point where it was a bomb, but they felt safe doing it because they had complete confidence that AZ-5 would kill the reaction. Not act as a detonator.

Ya, back when lumber mill wages were $4.25 an hour. Because houses were less than a tenth of a cost they are today. Keep up.

well ya, I was like 23, nobody has much credit history at that age. So they required a 20% down payment, and when cheap peace of shit houses are 400K, it’s hard to just come up with 80K+ out of thin air, while also having to pay rent. Which wasn’t cheap since I needed a place with a garage to store my work equipment, which eliminates all the affordable rentals.

Honestly would have been further ahead making $35/hr with a cheap apartment, lmao.

Could probably buy a nice house on that wage still.

When my grandma found out how much money I was making in my 20s she thought it was ridiculous, because Grandpa and her only made $2 an hour! While I was making $50.

Meanwhile I couldn’t qualify for a mortgage. While their first house was like $10,000 lol.

As entertaining as I find this position, I have a hard time believing that “abortion as self defence” would hold up under any legal scrutiny.

Agreed, we should have lower income taxes and higher corporate and capital gain taxes.

As they should, Disney is posting record profits and insane profit margins, and can apparently throw $20M golden parachutes at failure executives. Meanwhile they stagnate wages?

Hold them by the mouse ears!

Seems like an evolutionary side effect that would normally be beneficial. Pinching a nerve for a prolonged time isn’t good, so when your brain loses feeling to an area it gives you pain signals to trigger you into moving, so that you don’t sleep or sit in a way that could lead to paralysis, and once it gets other feedback it stops.

Unfortunately it can’t tell the difference between a pinched nerve and a lost limb, so it’s instead like “bro move your hand, bro, BRO!!!” And now your left hand that’s been missing for 6 years is suddenly on fire.

The shower thought automod is terrible, you can post something, even after searching it through Reddit and Google, just to have it removed for being “to similar to another post” or ”common shower thoughts” which they conveniently don’t link which posts it is similar to.

Then a blatant repost like this makes it through.

Kind of depends on the livestock, cattle can survive these colds easily so long as farmer throw out extra hay and straw, they produce a ton of heat when they eat and they just huddle up when it’s this cold.

Worst I remember seeming on the farm was their ears freezing off. And that was during a week of -40.

Yup, which is why you pretty much only see them in space applications. Because the weight saved can save enough fuel costs to offset the insane price increases.

Right now it’s about 10 years without subsidies and 5 years with in most places.

Obviously the exact economics depends on your location and your local price of energy. But my companies been installing systems for commercial and industrial, and the saving off of their power bills straight up pays for the system, and once it is paid of, it’s free energy for the life of the panels.

There’s no reason to get rid of them though, they’ll lose some generation capacity over time, but for the vast majority of situations it’s easier to just add an additional panel to make up for those loses than to replace the entire system.

Warranty doesn’t cover physical damage, the warranties usually just guarantee that the cell will have more than 80% of its rated power generation after 20 years or they will replace it.

Most panels only lose about 1% efficiency a year, so it’s basically a meaningless gesture that looks good, unless you have a genuinely defective cell.

Material costs, eventually the amount of materials you need to add per extra % is more than just building a second panel at the same efficiency. So around 50% in order to get an extra 1% in efficiency, you need a panel with double the cells. So you might as well just build 2 50% efficiency panels rather than 1 51% one.

That’s basically why most panels are stuck around 23% right now, it’s more cost effective to just build 2 panels than to build a panel 1% more efficient.

Basically as technology advances it gets easier to improve the efficiency with less waste, but around 50% is when you can’t really make anything smaller to get those efficiency gains in a similar sized panel.

You know, I never thought NASCAR would need to add a rule against wall riding, but here we are.

This is why we need better funding for public education.
