This is so typical of the Canadian government. The effectivly FORCE you to use this site as they try to cut costs and reduce "call in" support. Then, they create a ToS which absolves them of all responsibility if they are hacked?

This sort of perpetuates the same myth about Plutonium being dangerous covered in the article. If you have the right plutonium isotope, in the correct shape and compress it just right.. it is a very dangerous metal. if you have a small piec

Comedy is subjective. Try telling a sexually charged joke at your place of employment and see what happens. World leaders freely slandering other countries like this is shameful, and not what you expect from a "world leader".

Many countries are still stranded with "cold war" environmental problems. The US has many "superfunds" dedicated to cleaning up "cold war radioactivity" issues. A bit more info on the Quebec asbestos issues. C

So like telling "jokes" at Russia's expense by a man of questionable ethics? what is the point of his joke, if not to mock another country? The OP posted a quote, and i posted one too?

Thanks for a link to a site labeled "free propaganda". It really rang true here, it is propaganda, and it is free? Do read the comments on youtube.

Non-American here. Any "lawyer" around as the laws seem very unclear. In the case of Whole Foods vs BLM shirts, the courts ruled in favour of the "uniform" and banned the BLM shirts: https://www.reuters.com&#x

Your view really depends on the design. CANDU (Canadian reactor design) is moderated via deuterium in which case there is a LOT of it circulating in the reactor core. The heavy water is syphoned off to a tritium separation unit for recovery

non-metals have their own problems and glass tends to have some really weird properties. I would think a major one would be their failure mode. Metals flex and expand before they eventually fail. Glass/ceramic is fine until suddenly

i love it when people make statements liek "you are projecting" yet dont fully understand them. What it means to be projecting? According to Karen R. Koenig, M. Ed, LCSW, projection refers to unconsciously taking unwanted emotions

This is where things get even more strange. Most people who do manage to afford to live in Toronto still have to commute. you can get condo's right in the downtown core, but they are insanely expensive. So the debate he had was a ~30

you are overlooking several other "american" issues. 1) Lawsuits - The US court system is often used as some sort of "i won the lotto" system where people do dumb things, and somehow win substantial sums of money. It is

This! I love how people seem to feel they can enforce their views of how a city should be build on others. The fact of the matter is very clear.. we have so many detach houses because that is what people WANT. For some odd reason there is a

This is a great conversation as there is so much input from around the world. I can sort of paint the picture of what takes place here (Canada - also a large land mass country). we have a rather large public rail system run by the governmen

Well put. Adding to this. The government is always there, with its hands out looking to get a slice of the real-estate market. - Property taxes - Land transfer taxes - Development fees And once you buy your house, any attempt to improve it

I have to question those large "boxes" and their true motives. Homeless People have literally DIED trying to get things out of the bins. If the goal is to get the clothing to those who need it, why build the bins in such a way tha

I'd suggest taking a look at some of the writing from Ray Dalio. Pain + Reflection = Progress. https://www.principles.com/principles/4a903526-2db6-4a0a-9b7... Valid but painful criticism is an opportunity to grow.
