  1. Except libs don't want to freeze in the dark nor does a decent size group of libs say they want to freeze in the dark. So no, not like that at all.
  2. which is stupid which is stupid which is stupid and you would have to be stupid to believe it.
  3. Assuming voters follow the general distribution of the populace, that simply cannot be true.
  4. yup. As a prediction, I think the Supreme Court will rule in such a way that they don't have to touch on any of the substantive issues. So more in line with: primary races are help by private companies and therefor the Colorado Supreme Court ruling doesn't apply. Setting it all back up for another round if/when Trump is the actual candidate.
  5. The real takeaway here is that the average Republican voter is stupid.
  6. Rivian has quite the pickup...in case you want a $100,000 electric option for the DZ...I know how much money you DZ operators make!
  7. Yes. And exactly how does that prove that "Florida is taking the amendment to court" is entirely true? My argument was that the Supreme Court of Florida is automatically involved in this process. Your link doesn't prove otherwise.
  8. I am going off a CNN interview with the lady running the organization behind the petition. But these articles refer to it as well: https://floridaphoenix.com/2024/01/05/abortion-rights-amendment-one-step-closer-to-the-fl-ballot-but-must-get-supreme-court-approval/ https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/arguments-set-for-february-on-florida-abortion-measure/
  9. Don't think that is entirely correct. As part of this process the Florida Supreme Court as to approve the text of the amendment and Florida AG has indicated they do not agree with the text in its current form.
  10. Same argument for religion really.
  11. This idea that products can only be good if they are perfect for every possibly solution is so stupid.
  12. Except that isn't what I said. Plus having to go back 100 years pretty much proves the point that it hasn't always been that way.... Unless you have family to live with this is now functionally impossible in major Canadian cities. Minimum wage in Ontario is $16.55 per hour. Average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in Toronto is $2,900 per month. $16.55 per hour is $2,868 per month GROSS on a full time basis. Average rent for a 2 bedroom is $3,400, so not helping much if you can find a room mate. Plus vacancy is so low that people are paying a full year's rent up front to try and "win" a place.
  13. Actually, that is the part that has been changing. Tesla has been offering steep discounts to combat this, reducing their margin significantly. Tesla's profit margin is now very much in line with other auto makers.
  14. No, that hasn't always been true. Housing affordability measured against income is at pretty much all time highs. Health care waiting lists and availability is at pretty much the worst position it has ever been. Even the government has realized i and has reduced targets for this year and future years. Family doctors are almost impossible to find and emergency rooms have had to close. People are dying waiting for cancer treatment. At BC's Children's hospital in Vancouver has recently seen wait time in the Emergency Room of 10 hours to be triaged and 10 hours to be seen by a doctor. So 20 hours in total. So no, it hasn't always been like that, not even close.
  15. The model T wasn't groundbreaking at all, just look at what Ford's market share is now compared to then....pff.
  16. Q3 revenue is up 9% YoY. But yes margins fell on deep discounts.
  17. For many kids the Ruger 10/22 was their first rifle. This is same rifle, just different looks. Do think it is tacky.
  18. I think it is foolish, we have a housing and health care crisis. This isn't helping.
  19. Ich kenne das als Verschlimmbesserung.
  20. I don't like Timmies, but it beats Dunkin Donuts 100/100.
  21. They could put it on rails to make it more efficient....
  22. I'll just refer to it as the Prairies.
  23. Just out of curiosity, can you explain to me how you figure that red dot is in western Canada?
