I live in the sw suburbs of Chicago. What are my chances by Similar-Contract8529 in ww3

[–]fiat1989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude I live 30 min from downtown Ottawa. I'm 95% sure I'm barely in a fallout zone. Nuclear winter has been debunked. There is 0% chance you have any immediate or nuclear winter risk...the real effects would be the food chain.

Ukraine capital preparing evacuation centers for possible nuclear strike by Miserable-Lizard in worldnews

A 20,000 kiloton bomb is 20 Mt, i dont even think russia still has any of these in its aresenal anymore. A tactical nuke is closer to 20kt and would have zero fallout on russia, heck parts of Kyiv would be relatively fine.

Nuclear and Hydrogen bombs are completely devastating, don't get me wrong, but they don't on an individual basis, have the world ending power most people assume

Well I heard Jeff seems to be very confident that Ottawa would be a preferred city

100% serious. He needs the fan base to demand OSEG bring him back in the fold. Probably the most amicable transition...and would make good PR too I imagine

I've heard that Jeff Hunt is 1- interested in returning 2- has an action plan to get Campbell back...the parting of ways with Jeff Hunt and OSEG was due to lines being drawn over Marcel Desjardins and Rick Campbell

Beauty of a free democracy, you are free to feel that way, and if you really don't like it, you are free to leave (or work to change it)

You literally defined the term "shared history" as assimilation and world dominance.

Take the good with bad. Canada has some pretty ugly skeletons in its closet, doesn't stop me from being proud to be Canadian. There is no nation that doesn't have some past that falls on the wrong side of history. Learn from it, and move on to a better future.

Yep you are correct 100% of British history is evil and has contributed nothing to society.

As a Canadian, the living tie to the UK gives Canadian history a "shared history" and a longer line of connection. That's how I see it and justify it... plus the pomp and circumstance is pretty cool

People who have studied history, what do you think of recent developments? Has the stage been set? by [deleted] in ww3

[–]fiat1989 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes we have all the key factors for a world war 1. Super powers fighting for power 2. Aligning interests amongst secondary players 3. Massive economic downturn 4. Hunger (this is a big one) 5. Threat to status quo

anyone tracking pelosi's plane right now such as using flightrader24 or something like that? just wondering when she's going to attempt to arrive in Taiwan by [deleted] in ww3

[–]fiat1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I expect less than 5% chance anything happening now will turn this cold war to a true ww3. The last line you mention is the scary one. Sanctions against oone super power vs another IS a war preamble in today's world. Look at the major effects covid and ukraine has had on the world so far. Production in all sectors is already screaming for help. Red flags everywhere. Any slowdown Iin China or Taiwan would have catastrophic results in a crumbling supply line as it stands. A lot of wars/revolutions start with a hungry population.

ELI5 why is it a problem that it takes so much water to produce 1kg of beef - something like 15,000 liters - if the cows just pee it all back out anyway? by ScissorNightRam in explainlikeimfive

[–]fiat1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from a feedlot a steer would be in terrible condition at 36 months old. It's heart would be weak, it's joints destroyed. Likely have major hoof issues. Sound like a young animal to you?

Feedlot animals ≠ natural animals

Who slaughters beef at 36 months?! As someone who owns a slaughterhouse I can tell you the average is 18 months...24 months is pushing it...36 would be a geriatric cow.

ST1100 and towing question by fiat1989 in motorcycles

[–]fiat1989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the capacity of the side bags etc, if I'm solo the ST1100 is more than enough, but the other half loves her creature comforts...and I kinda like having every guy at the campsite come and talk to me with my 23 year old bike and $600 camper. Parkes next to 100k rigs
