    I found a new problem. Snow tires are 3K CAD with rims for a model #. Plus taxes.

    How old is your house?

    I've learned quite a bit in this thread that makes me even more likely to go EV.
  4. gowlerk
    Yup. And it's the main reason I fuel south of the border as much as possible.

    The UK is getting to be quite the nanny state.

    Nylon. We need more nylon.

    People with 20 to 30 minutes to kill will need something to do. Business will find things for them to spend money on.

    That is usually part of their argument. It is basically the same crowd looking for scapegoats.

    I know people who say much the same nonsense as that about the USA.

    What's even weirder is how the date of his death is calculated and celebrated. There is a strangeness overall to the holy death cult.

    Early Life and Family Newton was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. Using the "old" Julian calendar, Newton's birth date is sometimes displayed as December 25, 1642. At least I know where the confusion is coming from now.

    America, and Canada for that matter were not populated by refugees. They were and will be populated by "economic migrants". Starving people are highly motivated. I understand the desire to keep the gates closed from the flood but I have a real hard time with the lack of respect for the people who face this ordeal.

    Once the collective punishment ratio reached a death count of 10:1 it was probably time to stop and move to a new phase. Israel is not going to be able to achieve it's real goal. Which is to force those who want to destroy it out of the territory.

    Hi Jerry, I’m not sure if any have, but I would be surprised if none have. I have a question for you. Do you think Israel is doing anything wrong at this time?

    We have a couple inches of snow here. It is looking like it will hang on for a while. Daytime highs are just below freezing and the lows are -5 to -10 C range. Still no cold snaps. It is breaking the hearts of the snowmobile crowd.

    I agree. Just pointing out that all of us as a group, including the mods seem to be moving away from the "play the post, not the poster" principle a little more than usual lately. It's almost as if the goading is effective. Goading is what trolling is all about.

    44 is less than 100. I'm pretty sure of that. There is no right side in this conflict. There are and have been many wrong actions taken. The wrong actions on both sides go back far beyond the current century. At this point large portions of both groups have made up their minds that the other side must be destroyed, leave, or be forced to surrender and one of them will do that eventually. Israel is stronger but it is surrounded by enemies. They are aware that in the end they can lose like they have throughout the last two millennia. They have gone too far at this point but I can understand why. I despair and like the rest of us I am so glad to live in a part of the world that is more or less at peace. Merry Christmas from someone who can say that with no sense of irony even as a atheist.

    For mods the two of you seem to be spending a lot of time and effort joining in with the rest of us talking about this other poster.

    Nonsense. They have horns and forked tails. They worship Satan and his sidekick, Marx. Rs are Jedi knights fighting against evil.

    Why would a strong right wing capitalist supporter consider taking an unpaid position such as this? It would involve serving his fellow man for free and smacks of the worst excesses of socialism. Only an unrepentant woke lefty like you would make such a suggestion. The man is hardly likely to waste his superior intellect and business education babysitting the likes of you and I. We are going to have to make do with mere rocket scientists and advanced engineers I'm afraid.

    Now it goes to SCOTUS. Which will almost certainly override it. But if they uphold it Trump will be finished.

    Yes, 100 amps is standard here as well. If you don't have an electric furnace. Urban areas here use NG for heating. Those who live where that is not available need a 200 amp service. The climate where you live is somewhat different than Winnipeg's.

    This is why both Trump and the right in general all over the world keep hammering away at the societal fear of the large amount of migration going on out of "shit hole countries" to more prosperous places. It is a winner and it will probably get worse as climate change forces more people to move.

    It's hard to see how. They weren't enough last time and he or they haven't aged well. I know Biden is also unpopular but last time around the anti-Trump vote won, and it will probably be even larger this time. Of course third party candidates could affect the outcome in unpredictable ways.

    That will backfire on them biggly. They will lose seats in the state houses. People are pissed.
