Timing is about right for it to be a batch of newly minted CS grads getting into their first corporate jobs.

As I recall: Mitt Romney was the first public person who really came out and called Russia a threat in the US in the 2011/2012 election cycle. Which at the time he was laughed at because Russia was still seen as an ally and the major threat was China.

Now they are both openly hostile and Germany is cozying up to fucking China.

Germany: just do what the rest of the west (and China) does and bribe the Canadian government to hand over raw resources to you.

Winnie the Pooh and his favourite sub: Putin.

It's an issue given that almost everything everyone buys relies on sea traffic. If it doesn't, then something required to make it did.

For example: the amount of wheat and grain that travels via ship is insane. And those facilities can't just be built overnight. They need railways to be built and need massive amounts of concrete that itself needs months to years to properly cure so that they can store grain in it. And without those facilities, many parts of the world not directly at sea level will suffer and starve.

No. The melting of the ice caps is now self-sustaining. We dont have enough energy as a species to begin to reverse it now, and it is making itself worse now with every day.

The current glacier they're worried about in Antarctica is estimated to increase global sea levels by up to 3 meters.

That, by itself puts every single port in the world partially underwater, and most of the major airports too. That means every developed country in the world is looking at death and famine at a scale not seen since the Permian Extinction.

And thats just one glaicier that will be popping before 2030. All of Greenland is also in the process of popping, and that could mean 10m plus of sea level rise by 2050.

Climate change.

Ww3 may or may not happen. Hopefully not.

But regardless of that, Climate change will wipe us out.

De-track-me.

Thanks for the overview.

Frankly I think its more likely that China screwed up and got an older part of the moon than a newer one by mistake.

It was a long running and apparently well used research device. It was discontinued in 2008.

Heres a pdf of the 1968 instruction manual. https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0216/ML021630449.pdf

It has to do with scale.

PP is exponentially worse than Trudeau and Jasmeet. Yes, neither of those two silver spoon assed motherfuckers worked a day in their life for where they are and combined can't lead their way out of a wet paper bag, but I'll take them over the mentally ill religious zealot.

Better to analyze for vulnerabilities. Particularly with a number of governments using open source software hosted on github.

Singh never had a prime.

Dude moved himself into one of the safest NDP ridings in the country and still almost lost it.

Don't forget increased intentionally fucking over BC.

• Harper and PPs complete capitulation on the softwood lumber agreement to the US, multiple times decimated rural BC.

• They moved harbour control for the 2nd busiest port on the west coast of the Americas, out of Vancouver and have them remotely operating out of Comox.

• They illegally forced the TMX expansion pipeline through, and overrode concerns of the city of Hope that the new line runs over their watershed and they ignored native issues with the pipeline. Note that it doesn't run over Nestles well. They moved the line for fucking Nestle, not a city of people though.

• They shut down the coast guard facility for the Vancouver harbor and forced them to operate out of Richmond. So in the recent issue of a boat running into a seaplane, where the coast guard took under 10 minutes to respond, if Trudeau had not repurchased and opened the facility, their response time would have been in the range of 40 minutes to an hour.

Not to mention a return to "balancing" the budget by selling off assets to developer friends and scandals like taking the G8 security budget and using it for graft and bribery in your own ridings.

Except most of BCs natural gas is extracted, not biofuel.

Its from the book 1176 BC by Eric H Cline.

End of the bronze age. Have a set of letters between citystate rulers, one writing that help is urgently needed as seaborne invaders have been spotted nearby and his military is off with the hittite empire.

The response back, in modern slang amounts to "lol ur fucked."

My non-legal reading puts BC Hydro's latest natrual gas ad at odds with it.

They not only call it "not a fossil fuel" but also claim its a "renewable resource."

It could be that its success was internally attributed to a different team someone in the hierarchy favoured.

He could paint it as taking down the "ivory tower intellectuals"

Since the goal they(the far right) achieved in Canada under Stephen Harper was the suppression of compensation.

To the point that a field requiring a job earns half the value in Canada that it does in the US.

$147000 is a lot of money to grant to three college kids with zero proven business record.
