I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's my opinion that the Electoral Reform committee was sabotaged by the liberals from its inception. Ie they gave themselves a minority on the committee so that the committee wouldn't be able to make a recommendation.
I don't think it was Trudeau that sabotaged it, but I think it was the Liberals.
That's pretty much my understanding too, but I'd like to point out that conscripted labor is pretty analogous to a tax. My contemplation on the subject:
I think equitable taxes are good when the revenue is used for things that benefit society.
I don't know how equitably the labour was conscripted.
I don't think enormous pyramids are good for society, but on the other hand I don't know how ancient Egyptian workers would have felt about the topic.
I suspect that the Pharoahs weren't very concerned about how the workers felt about the topic.
Go to the hardware store and get some pex tubing, and a shark bite union fitting.
Cut the tubing to the size you want, use the fitting to close the loop. The fitting can be removed by pressing on the ring around where the tubing goes in. They're may be a tool that will make this easier.
So you can put all your chokers on the ring, then rotate the one you want to the opening
Ateam has managed to bioengineer a fungi to produce it, but with very low yields. Another team has managed to get e coli to produce it, they estimated that a 100,000 L fermenter could produce the same amount as a hectare of land.
100,000L is 100m^3 which is a cube with 4.7m side length. ~15'x15'x15' or uhh ~~~the size of 4 F150s.
Edit to add: a hectare is 100m x 100m ie ~100 yards x 100 yards.
If he comes back to the North, he would be tortured&executed with his family.
Are you basing this statement on anything other than your impression that the North Korean regime is cruel for the sake of being cruel, and everyone in the military and government is incompetent?
It might be true, but it's also possible that the North Koreans would use it as the obvious propaganda coup it is and send him on speaking tours all over the country/world.
It's also quite possible that he's mentally unwell and isn't making rational choices. Or that he's trying to escape an abusive situation.
Don't get me wrong, the North Korean government is not good, I'm just saying that the assumption he'll be tortured and executed underestimates them.
PS. When you say "comes back" it means that you are in that place. So your sentence implies that you're in North Korea. I'm sure you meant "goes back".
I think just about anything would be better than what he said.
I wouldn't say that it was a different time, or anything about the circles I kept.
I'd go with:
Clearly, I was ignorant of the harm my costume could cause. In the seventeen years since that photo, I've learned a lot about Canada's history of racism and how harmful stereotypes further marginalized racialized Canadians. If I had better understood the iniquity that racialized Canadians faced, and continue to face, I never would have engaged in what I now recognize and denounce as a gross and harmful caricature.
My detractors imply that people can't change. They're wrong. People can change, and our town can change. I work hard to make this a thriving, welcoming community and I know that we shouldn't let anyone distract us from the important work we have to do.
I needed to upgrade my modem because the isp capped the speed of docsis 3.0 modems to like 75Mbps. I remember being quite upset because I was previously getting 125Mbps service on the same modem. I seem to recall there was a quasi legit technical reason for it though.
Not who you're responding to but I must vehemently disagree. In English, which doesn't have a centralized governing body, the correct way of pronouncing/spelling something depends on your intention and expected audience. If your intended audience is English speakers then the correct spelling is probably octopi or octopuses, whichever you believe will cause the least confusion/distraction (surely it varies regionally).
However, usually my intention is to portray my unfathomably superior knowledge and intellect, so the correct spelling/pronunciation in this case is: octopodes (which I think he had listed but ironically got 'corrected' to 'octopuses').
I don't think that there's a higher concentration of morons in academia than in larger society. However, their professional experience is pretty different from the so called 'real world' so they definitely can have some unfathomable blind spots.
Was that G7/8 kettling?
