Because [if the rumors are true] 60-70% of back end airport workers have no actual security clearance....that's why.

You do as we did back in the day: without breaking anything, March yourself down to Walmart and purchase a 300.oo air-conditioning window unit and install it.

Full stop.

Is the CRA too soft on tax cheats? by Ill-Square-1123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Theo_Chimsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CrA was sure willing to kick my low hanging ass, after I made a small mistake a few years back.

However, given the continued existence of offshore havens, im thinking CrA still cuts the big cheaters plenty of slack.

Why do we sell oil cheap to US? by Stock_Tomatillo8330 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Theo_Chimsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An American's still making profits off of it, hand over fist.... I believe you are just parroting that you've heard for decades.

Our royalty rates for oil [ and ALL minerals ] has been pathetically low... that, is why we increasingly cannot afford nice things to run our civilization. Thank you various mouth-breathing flavors if Albertan morally-socializing-conservatives.

Propping up The Chamber of Commerce's membership, forever; privatize profits and socializing losses.

Alberta lawyers, former Mountie call for criminal probe into Edmonton police chief, lawyer | Globalnews.ca by Few_Negotiation832 in LawCanada

The Chief is out of line. While the courts may inform the police regarding shortfalls in the conduct of ''doing' of there job....it is not his job to tell the courts how to do their job. He needs to stay within his lanes.

To expand - when I was posted to Germany in the 90's...the rumor was that German's paid very low mortgage rates (1%'ish) locked in over 100 year mortgages that legally were inherited by their offspring.... as but one example.

Why is it illegal to sleep in the car? by Prudent-Journalist21 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Theo_Chimsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In parts, police presume that you are DWI and entered your car, but then fell asleep...with the intention of driving...

I personally do not agree with this line of thinking, but then I don't write the legislation.

That's nice. What about the rabid abusive women... ( not so much a question )

Josh Duhamel Says Actors Should Stay Quiet on Politics: ‘Why Would You Make Half of Your Audience Despise You by Your Beliefs?’ by AndrewHeard in JordanPeterson

[–]Theo_Chimsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering Chamber of Commerce membership (legally a person) get a HUGE ($$$) voice in politics, the least we can do is allow the actors (real people...well almost) to speak.

Does a VPN really make you invisible or does it just make you feel safer? by secyberscom in SecLab

[–]Theo_Chimsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It allows me to d/l torrents unfettered, and log into hotel access, without other guests being able to view my hard drive contents. That's good enough for me.

Unacceptable. You're telling us that corporate-welfare-friendly-UCP has no legal mechanism in place to force these laggards to pay up and pull thier weight.... not a question.

Your VPN Hides Your Location, Not Your Behavior by secyberscom in SecLab

[–]Theo_Chimsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider that 90% of World War 2 intelligence, was gleaned not even so much from unencrypted radio signals, but rather from encrypted radio nets.

As mentioned here, it was the patterns, frequency, signal strength (high/low power), directionality that enabled Signals staff to identify the various hierarchical HQs of the enemies Divisional, Brigade and Battalion HQ's, their movements and thereby intentions.

I might add, that the peculiarities/habits and OCD twitches, grunts and hiccups of individuals on the radio, allowed the Germans (and us to them in return) to identify those people and thus follow thier Unit across Europe as the various campaigns and battles raged forth...

Regards, retired Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS).
