I'm sure that that the might of HRH Charles 3 would just be laughed at. I'm not against bombing them back to the 5th century where they came from. I'm just not down with the glorification of the English colonial era.

It’s merely the reverse of your style of sarcasm.

Really Joe? I thought we had entered the magical age of Aquarius.

In those days before the Suez Canal the Red Sea was an unimportant pond. I hear it was even easily parted.

Get them drunk and then get them a couple dozen virgins each. Everyone wins.

Not even a little bit do I miss the “glory days” of the murderous colonial era.

Is that US or worldwide?

Sounds like Miller to me.

Undocumented immigrants are a crisis. But a warming climate that will drive even more people to move is actually a good 'cause plants need more CO2.

Defeating those who are hated is more important than helping those who are liked.

In what is at least a small setback Hertz is reducing the EV portion of its rental fleet citing lower than anticipated demand and higher repair costs particularly for collision damage than their ICE vehicles. They are putting 20,000 Tesla model 3s up for sale to focus more on ICEs. https://www.motor1.com/news/704244/hertz-reducing-ev-fleet-selling-model3-cheap/ Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas in a note said the car rental firm's move was a warning across the EV space and it was another sign that EV expectations need to be "reset downward across the market." "While consumers enjoy the driving experience and fuel savings (per mile) of an EV, there are other 'hidden' costs to EV ownership," Jonas added. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/hertz-dumping-electric-1.7080774

Post trump Legal Actions, Including his Enablers

Today Trump sat in a federal appeals courtroom while his lawyers made an argument that it would not be a crime for a POTUS to order the assassination of his political opponents. Does anyone else see this as surreal? -
As a drop out from grade 9 I like to think there is a difference between education and intelligence.

We all know that mama always said “stupid is as stupid does”. It’s the behaviour that matters, we can work to change behaviour.

Just what is it that you think "synthetic lubricants" are made out of?

Couldn’t they just move to Florida where they would fit right in?

The Russian Orthodox Church is basically an arm of the Kremlin. Just as the Church of England used to be an arm of the King.

Reduce, reuse, recycle. As it should be.

Horton's is even bigger in Ontario. I don't do Timmy"s. I'm still wondering where you grew up, if you consider yourself to have done so. Winnipeg boasts several members of the Weber clan. One was a neighbour of mine.

It cracks me up when people say that at one time Winnipeg billed itself at "the Chicago of the north". I'm still wondering where you grew up, if you consider yourself to have done so. Winnipeg boasts several members of the Weber clan. One was a neighbour of mine.

Other truckers from elsewhere in Canada often refer to us as flatlanders.

To move off on a related but tangential direction, I am leaving tomorrow morning on a trip to the Cincinnati area. Hauling 44,500 lbs of oats my total gross will be about 78,000. Including 200 gallons of fuel (1800) lbs. I will get about 7 to 7.5 MPG for about 160 gallons consumed in 1180 miles. I will stop once to fuel and it will take me 20 minutes or so. The truck is speed limited at 62 MPH and it will take me two full days of legal driving time (11hrs per day). I can't imagine doing this in an EV truck until the technology advances to the point of fully driverless.

Ok, you now have my permission to refer to Manitoba as a mid western province. But I won't.
-
No kidding it's not pretty. 22 charges for less than 2200 miles? That's every 100 miles. I guess it's what you need to do to keep the stops short. BTW, I've done the drive quite a few times. It's never pretty.

Yes, by common Canadian terminology anything west of Ontario, and even some far western parts of Ontario (in the central time zone) is generally referred to as "the west". Geographically Manitoba is mostly west of the Canadian shield and is part of the great plains. Just as immediately to our south ND and then SD are not "mid-western states", but western states. But I'm sure you know all that and probably the historical reasons as well. You are just one of those west coasters who like to think that Manitoba is not sufficiently western in culture. Usually it's Albertans who cop this attitude. I've been hearing it all my life. Whether you agree or not Manitoba is in western Canada.
