Hahahaha! Well, some threads become too long and can have a negative effect on the site so it's customary to close it and continue in a new thread. If that happened here then... groan! [emoji23]

It was one of the few threads I enjoyed here, besides some of the more technical ones. Too bad. I was a moderator for many years on a very large international forum, mostly technical subjects. The owner was not involved in any moderation. All important decisions were discussed by the team. We...

What happens locally is important because it both helps with day to day decisions and it is easier to trust. Dismissing what happens globally is dangerously short sighted though imho. Sometimes one gets the impression from US citizens that they live alone in the world, please no ofense is...

That's a great point RedNeckGeek and very sensible.

The situation in Alberta is so dire. There are heart breaking reports of several pregnant women who were afraid to be vaccinated because of possible side effects, entering icu and begging for a vaccine because they couldn't breath. The doctor telling them they'll go now in an induced coma and on...

Something like that is really concerning. The government should investigate this. Why don't hospitals and doctors and nurses report anything like this? Surely there were autopsies.

It appears the senator got different data than what the UK gov publishes. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/articles/deathsinvolvingcovid19byvaccinationstatusengland/deathsoccurringbetween2januaryand2july2021 Iceland, Israel, and the US report...

That study is nowhere to be found. Nor any data to support the theory. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58545548 The spread of misinformation will eventually kill people.

Bought a Lem meat grinder from Cabelas years ago. Built like a tank, really well designed and easy to clean, cannot think of anything negative about it. Really happy I didn't go for the cheaper copies.

We are actually running that experiment here in Canada [emoji16]

I agree. Together with production goes skill sets that takes generations to build. The entire nation becomes dependent on a frenemy. But what are you gonna, the poor is dependent on buying cheap, the rich on big profits. Both of these wouldn't be possible without cheap production elsewhere...

You forgot about the wall! LOL

Totally useless waste of a thread. Floods and extreme weather events are happening and will get worse. The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate. You don't need science to see this is happening. There are two issues which are totally thrown under the rug in this useless tug of war...

What you just said is a good example black and white thinking. I am not against the second amendment. Thinking in extreme terms will only lead to disasters. I'm Canadian, I like many things about the US, and have no idea how one can reduce these atrocities. But it's a fact that it happens a...

I agree with you. Nothing can replace a sound education from the parents. Good values, loving family, can put the basis for emotional stability and coping skills. Besides mental illness, however poorly defined as it may be, there's also radicalization. You know, it doesn't affect only...

Poor swedes, danes, dutch, and so many other "democracies", butchered in mass by their own brutal dictators and not able to stand up to the oppression because they can't buy guns at the convenience store with not more than a smile. The problem is not having a gun culture as much as having a...

I wonder why this human nature you speak of applies to such great extent to America, still the greatest country in the world. Why aren't there nearly as many mass shootings, or worse, school shootings in any of the not so great countries on Earth? Are they all spineless people suppressed by...

I like your contraption to put the wheels on!

In this day and age why not automatically resize all uploads to a decent size right on the server back end. Makes it easier for everyone. Upload an image of a gazillion tetrabytes and it gets saved 1024x768. Easy peezy
