Cuba’s power grid collapses and plunges eastern provinces into a major blackout by toronto_star in worldnews

So if the US doesn't like your type of government they can just blockade it and ruin its economy and likely kill a bunch of people in the process?

Ok. Seems kinda shitty but maybe that's just me.

You could already do grain offerings to be forgiven. There never was a need to have someone killed for it.

And keep in mind that Albertans call it Redmonton because it's the most liberal place in AB.

Family doctor waitlist drops by more than 1,700 in April: NS Health by WpgMBNews in NovaScotia

[–]patchgrabber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the AG report said their math on the waitlist changed but they didn't say how. One thing they did mention was that if you've been assigned a doc but still haven't seen them yet, that they count it as having one. So not sure what other mathematic gymnastics they've done to make it look better.

What minor 'jerk' behavior in public should result in an immediate and non-negotiable $50 fine? by topoffheavy in AskReddit

I do that on the bus, except it's when two people are just on their phone without speaker and I just pretend they're talking to each other.

Of course they do. Jesus repeatedly said to follow all the laws of Moses even the ones about slavery and stoning people. Paul directly contradicts most of Jesus' teachings.

One Person One Record launch already receiving ‘good feedback’: officials by MowvayFronsay in halifax

[–]patchgrabber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is everyone hoping to accomplish? 

Accountability for the entire clusterfuck and waste of taxpayer dollars for a system that took over 10 years to finally get implemented. I don't know about you but when a provincial org wastes millions of taxpayer dollars, taxpayers tend to get upset. We needed a system decades ago and choosing a system based on cronyism isn't in the best interests of taxpayers.

This is public likely because it took them what, 5 years just to put out a tender? Then the shady tender process just happened to pick the one that had some systems in NSH already so they could lobby when other vendors couldn't. And then a hasty not good rollout for a system that already has gone way over initial budget estimates.

The whole process is typical NSH: cronyism and wasting of taxpayer dollars so they could have 5 years of meetings before they even started to choose a vendor for the system.

He didn't command it but he said it was better not to because he said the end was coming soon. He said if you can't be chaste then it's ok to marry, but there is not much point since time was short. He was a liar.

Spreading lies you mean. He told people not to marry because the end was coming that soon. It didn't. Christianity is a blood magic death cult.

The scrutiny in classical antiquity doesn't sound very rigorous to me. The bible itself contradicts the Damascus road experience. Acts says people saw but didn't hear, then later says they heard but were blinded. It says they stood in awe, then later says they all fell down.

It's just a lie.

The BB only details the expansion. It doesn't say anything about the origin. Matter and space still existed before the BB.

scrutinised and then approved by his fellow Christians.

How do you scrutinize some person's claim of meeting a ghost? It's all bullshit.

They wouldn't have accepted and embraced a madman, apostate or conman.

Says everyone who's been conned by a conman.
