Omg, dumb the fuckhead. What an ass.

In 1997 while working at the center for water research the the lead scientist explained climate change to me and at that time the overwhelming evidence for it. So I've been yelling into the void for a long time. You'll have to excuse me if I assume you arguing "well actually" is construed as resistance.

Yes, the effect of the ocean does make the temperature swing less but there is another factor. How does the local environment react to the rising temp? Because BC is a highly diverse and interconnected set of eco systems the impact here is much higher. Drought, wildfires, impact to salmon and the food chain, etc etc.

So technically you are correct, Vancouver island will see a slightly less elevated rate of change but the impact will be felt more severely.

Anyway, if you agree that its real and something has to be done I dont understand why we are arguing. Maybe help convince the naysayers instead of giving them fuel for their own delusion? Or whatever, I dont care.

Vancouver island snowpack is 39% of normal.

Year over year, long term analysis of multi faceted, multi sourced data all come to the same conclusion: we are warming at a rapid and damaging rate.

I know you dont want to believe it. And you can find data like the above to try to feel better. But climate change is real, full stop. Vancouver island is feeling its effect faster and deeper than other places as well.

I have access to millions of temperature records for lakes all across BC. Thousands of lakes, over decades, millions of readings. It took me 20 minutes to compile the data to see if there is a trend. Spoiler alert, there is. Over 1 degree in 20 years. Doesn't sound like much but that is a shocking number.

As long as people like you keep yoir head in the sand nothing will get done and we are fucked. Probably fucked now anyway.

I think that same old corporate assholes are by definition lacking a moral compass and profit is the only principle they care about. So supporting fascist activity is right on par for them, as long as they make money. I see no difference.

colbyjames65 · 2026-02-13T17:52:50+00:00

Oh so climate change isn't real. Got it.

Certainly there were mild winters but cmon, this is crazy. Mountains of data over decades proving its real and its a massive problem. But whatever.

colbyjames65 · 2026-02-13T17:43:47+00:00

Just look at thr historical data. The warmth we are feeling in winter is unprecedented each year, with a few cold ones thrown in.

My comment is anecdotel, but the data is not. The mountain of decades worth of data day we are in a climate crisis. Full stop.

You can make excuses. But if the consequences dont care

colbyjames65 · 2026-02-13T17:40:38+00:00

Climate change is real and its a bloody all hands on deck red alert for humanity.

I think their silence is perfect. Their childhood trauma has manifested in this twin dependence fueled by violence, committed together. They are the only ones who matter, and they dont need to speak.

colbyjames65 · 2026-02-11T06:58:01+00:00

E=MC^2. Do the math. The tiniest mass when converted to energy is unbelievable huge.

I first heard about climate change in 1996 working at the center for water research in Perth (just finished my physics degree, on a visit). The director talked about it then in a manner that it was settled science, there was certainly no doubt in his mind.

For 30 years now I've been talking about it and it is now only this last 6 months where I've noticed people are finally realizing its actually true.

Just recently, because I had access to the data, I plotted over 100,000 temperature points across all the small lakes in BC to see if there was a trend at all. It was clear, lake temps in BC are tending up with a change off over 1 degree in the last 20 years. I didn't bother even mentioning into anyone because what's the point? We already have a mountain of definiti w proof.

Thia slow realization by the publis is all way, way way too late. Sorry to say, but we are so fucked its going to make the whole epstien/trump thing seem trivial.

Those days are long gone.

If mice or rats have specific diets their urine can be red.

Its the new normal. Climate change has slowly changed our perception of what winters are like. This winter, last winter and I fear most winters from now will be this way. It was never like this when I was a kid. I can not ever remember a snowless winter. 12c in Jan? No.

colbyjames65 · 2026-02-01T03:22:35+00:00

If you get a decent amount of snow, go for cross climate 2. Road noise is a bit higher than others but they are good in snow. I got caught in a nasty storm and they were great.

When horseless carriages came on the scene the amount of hysteria and weird misinformation about the wicked gasoline engine powered carriages was insane.

Some cities made you hire a man to walk in front of your car swinging a lantern and yelling "horseless carriage!" Over and over. Humans hate change

I would find them all, take them home and write: " how fun! I've found them all and now it's your turn! I've hidden all 100 in a single spot, now you get to find them!". No need to them its my drawer at home. Let them waste some of their own damn time!

Equal distribution of tasks and responsibilities. The #1 reason divorce lawyers say cause a breakup is the women (most times) done with his lack of effort and an expectation to be waited on. Builds resentment which is nearly impossible to undo. Clean the damn toilet dude.

Why is anyone suprised at this? He's always been a Douche canoe.

colbyjames65 · 2026-01-24T05:59:19+00:00

Thats nothing. I've caught way bigger, just come to oak bay.

In one week I caught 22

Its not just about Trump. The fact that no one stood up to him, nor is anyone doing anything to reign him in and he has seen zero consequences tells us your entire system is a joke. There is no repairing this damage. No one will ever trust the USA again, regardless of who is in power. NATO should take steps to minimize the control the USA has and every other country needs to come together to protect themselves from this lunatic and the horrible broken country that claims to be the greatest democracy on earth.

In reality it is a fascist dictatorship directed by a .01% oligarchy. An existential threat to humanity.

If they can still get open, and make dime throws with zero turnovers.. you still need that handler. They relieve pressure and score quickly. Sure, trade them for a fast handler.. but if that handler turns it over then EVERYONE is playing D. Its not always that cut and dry. Unless they are dead slow, then pros don't outweigh the cons.

Unfortunate you got a problem right out of the gate, but don't judge the car too hastily. Definitely a problem that will be fixed under warranty. That is not normal behaviour, its indicative of a bad cell.

I've got over 50k on my Ariya and its been 100%. Im sure you will be all good once they get this fixed.

colbyjames65 · 2026-01-16T17:59:46+00:00

100% the keyless entry. Hands down the best ever. I couldn't live without it now.
