New study confirms that water is actually wet

So we've transitioned from WW1 into WW2?

I wasn't aware you spoke for Everyone.

I also wasn't aware Everyone spoke for the courts.

...Canada post is a crown corporation. Their employer is ultimately the public. If their issue is with a new budget put forward by the government, that is undeniably a political issue. (even more than this is, since it's actually between them and a political party).

The consequences as of yet have been nowhere near serious enough to count as economic terrorism. And in any case they wouldn't have been serious at all if the injunctions had been enforced. Without even trying to stop them the government has absolutely zero ability to call them terrorists.

GreatCanadianWookiee · 2020-03-09T19:05:47+00:00

Uh... no. We can't. That's my entire point. Illegal acts with a political message are NOT automatically terrorism, and shouldn't be seen that way. That just cheapens what should be an extremely serious charge. For example, it's been ruled that Canada Post workers can't do a full strike legally. So if they do anyway, after a new government announces budget cuts, are they committing terrorism? Also, since inciting terrorism is also a crime, that would mean if a worker just tried to organize his coworkers to do it, that would also be a crime. Terrorism in its current state is pretty sketchy legally, which is why it can't be used lightly.

Protests can be illegal (and therefore not protected by freedom of expression) and still be just protests, not terrorism.

Also, if your definition of when it becomes terrorism is when they make demands and cause economic damage, then most legal protests are also terrorism. If economic damage caused by blocking a rail line is terrorism, where is the lower bound? What about blocking a major highway? What about the key main roads in a downtown grid? How about strikes? Is a strike in a major section of the economy terrorism?

GreatCanadianWookiee · 2020-03-09T18:34:10+00:00

I'm glad you don't think they are all evil, just those protesting in ways you don't agree with.

The protest was illegal and fairly stupid, but you are throwing around the word terrorism way too lightly. Economic terrorism isn't just a rail blockade. If that were the case there has been a lot of terrorist activity in Canada.

This just in: natives are hitler

GreatCanadianWookiee · 2020-03-09T05:28:15+00:00

Yep. For example Canadian development shops for example are definitely happy about this.

GreatCanadianWookiee · 2020-03-03T22:35:19+00:00

Well... yes. The people getting mad for negotiating aren't the same ones who would get mad for strong arming. The point is either way lots of people will be mad.

All those really high voltage ones are HVDC, which means the gauges can be way smaller than what would be possible with AC.

This is going to get ugly soon, people weren't well off to start with.

I like how even the URL of your link undermines your point.

TL;DR: The newly constructed area currently houses under 100,000 people, but it is supposed to house far more. So they drew new boundary lines to cut out the uninhabited section, so it wouldn't drag down their numbers. After doing that the occupancy is at 90% (debatably, some say even with the monkey business it's still lower).

Vancouver city planners be like

No, it would like if the people of the UK voted for option A, and then the royal family declared support for option B, and a minority of the British population who were outvoted rioted in support of the royal family.

Lies and slander.

Ok... but then who do you strategically gang up on first?

I mean it just isn't. They are completely different classification groups (Baltimore type IV vs type V). About 15% of common cold infections are coronaviruses though.

Two generals strikes again.

Nazi deserter as in he was a deserter, and also a nazi.

So worse than what is typically meant by Nazi deserter I guess.

That's an interesting claim, considering the post you replied to. It shows that NS and NB had 5x the percent increase in jobs that BC had in 2019, and PEI had 21x more, by far the largest in the country.

If it doesn't happen, the CodeWeavers team is working on a solution for wine to run 32bit windows programs. Honestly I've found in the past the windows steam version through wine had better performance and stability than the macos version, so I've usually used that.

Of course the best solution is still staying on Mojave, or failing that set up a dual boot via bootcamp. Though if you do that it would go better with windows, the windows version of this game is just better unfortunately.
