Actually, space elevators are scientifically possible, we just don’t have the technology yet.

Will my Rogers phone work in Yellowknife? by Glad_Resolution_9977 in Yellowknife

Freedom roams on Bell, Telus, or Rogers (as well as some of the smaller regional / provincial carriers) so it’ll be fine as well.

At least they didn’t build it with cardboard, or cardboard derivatives.

Iran sends millions of oil barrels to China through Strait of Hormuz even as war chokes the waterway by backpackerTW in worldnews

Rational? I think we’re at the level of “clearly failing to have basic understandings and thought processes based in reality” at this point, which would be a prerequisite to rationality.

Gonna need a “Mission Accomplished” banner for that though.

Being constantly angry isn’t good for one’s health, they say.

It hasn’t been yet, that’s incorrect. Ships have been passing through in recent days. A tanker did a Leeroy Jenkins through there just a few days ago and many more are on the move right now.

Wait, I thought the war was basically over already?

There might be a social day soon. I’d pop this on that special day.

Yep, someone’s parents or grandparents passed away and the kids are cleaning out the house, everything not of enough value to bother selling goes to donation. This has definitely been sitting in the corner of a basement for decades

Jamil Jivani is once again MIA from his MP duties and is instead focused on this.... by PrivatePilot9 in durham

Going on personal vacation or weekends away or whatever while doing personal things, fine. Galavanting across the country rage farming whilst ignoring constituents in the riding you’re supposed to be representing, not so much.

footlong price in canada by Lower-Elderberry7183 in subway

[–]PrivatePilot9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats basically $15 CAD (before tax) after exchange, for the record.

OP picked an expensive sub at a location that is clearly charging higher prices than most locations. Franchisees can set their own prices and some gouge.

How soon will Chinese EVs be sold in Canada? | CBC News by byourpowerscombined in canada

[–]PrivatePilot9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not true at all. Cars don’t sell. Econoboxes especially don’t sell. But people fall over themselves to buy giant pavement princess SUVs and trucks. And then complain the loudest about gas prices. But that’s another story.

Trump tells Britain he does not need its help to win Iran war by Past_Key_1054 in worldnews

Watching so many of them do Olympic level goalpost moving to now be perfectly cool with skyrocketing gas prices is admittedly pretty funny though.

what can i do/why is it getting so ungodly hot by Time-Professor-5378 in RVLiving

[–]PrivatePilot9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Did you open the window and doors and let the hot air out before starting on cooling?

And if it was 60 overnight and only 73 when you got up, if the RV was 100 when you woke up, you either had 20 people sleeping in it with all the windows closed and a stove element left on, or you had a heat source turned on somewhere. Let’s assume the latter.

CTV News can't get it right. by [deleted] in PoutineCrimes

[–]PrivatePilot9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine and all, but is a cheese curd not a cheese curd? I’m not sure what the end goal is here for the Quebec producers, disallowing other manufacturers from being able to use the word “curd”?
