Posting a video and claiming it answers your question is such an obvious cop out as to be hard to respect. Canada essentially has had no abortion law for decades now. Society has not collapsed, but it seems to have led to low defense spending.

Post trump Legal Actions, Including his Enablers

Some people sit in county jail waiting for their trials. Other people try to steal presidential elections and barely get punished. It mostly depends on what race and especially class you belong to. -
Not only were there pizzas, but basements were also in existence. So Hitler's opponents could have been doing those nasty things after all.

The Continent’s Consensus on Climate?……Crumbling
gowlerk replied to brenthutch's topic in Speakers Corner
Well then, I'm no longer concerned that you may have meant nibbling. Which would have puzzled me greatly. -

I may be slightly offended unless it turns out that you meant to type "sibling". -

Sexual immorality is what other people do that I not only would not do, but also find off putting. Or, it is what I say I would not do but have actually done or want to do and I feel guilty about desiring it. -

Sexual immorality is just a construct. The only immorality would be if someone is taking advantage of a child or a person otherwise not able to give informed consent. Homosexual sex is not immoral. Men entering the priesthood then using the posistion of trust to take advantage of children is immoral. Likewise it is not immoral for a boy or a girl to feel they don't fit your expectations of their sexuality. It is a struggle, and it may be very difficult for them, but it is not immoral. -

Not at all unexpected. SCOTUS has shown no inclination at all to get involved with any of the false claims of fraud in any of the recent elections. I suppose that overall fact is a good thing, but not news. -
Is recreational four-way belly flying dead?
gowlerk replied to bdb2004's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
At our small Cessna DZ we still do 4 way. But our average age is quite high and the younger jumpers we do have are not really very interested in it. Not yet dead but definitely dying. -
So, after reading up on that I find that the common term for that is basically "heat". Now I'm thinking about being outside on a warm day and feeling the power of the Sun 93 million miles away. And that makes we wonder why some people think we can only power our civilization with fossil fuels. Just because that is what we have done for about 150 years. Talk about a lack of vision.

Wouldn't that be how the Sun radiates energy?
-
Well....Nicola Tesla thought he had the answer to that. But it seems he was wrong. None the less the problems of storage and distribution are not insurmountable. Unless the of course the increase in consumption being seen now by the apparently insatiable Bitcoin and now AI sectors push our needs to levels that can't be sustained.

I believe solar is the only electricity source we have that does not involve spinning magnets around to create a flux in a magnetic field. This huge advantage plus the fact that the Sun is always shining somewhere and the Earth has plenty of surface areas available leads me to the conclusion that solar is how almost all our electricity needs will be met eventually. It's really a no brainer. The obstacles of effective distribution and storage all have known solutions.

Don't worry. He won't stop. So you won't have to. Am I supposed to count or limit my posts now? -
