Quit cherry picking, but I guess that's about all I could expect from you now isn't it.

I know it will never happen but they need to take the play calling away from Lapolice, he has no feel for the game and no idea how to set up a defence.

Opening drive of the second half, move right into Hamilton territory then, immediately calls two qb draws back to back, field goal..………..Lapolice's play calling is complete dog ****.

I am not "pearl-clutching" and it's silly to even suggest this. This is a bigger issue and you've highlighted it perfectly. Labeling people as homophobic etc for one stupid act is as dumb as labeling Trudeau a racist for his many blackface transgressions.
That people of one party are just given these broad brush strokes and are forever labeled "racists" for some stupid social media post years ago while a Brown-faced boob, who just happens to be Liberal, is given a pass, is just silly. It's time to stop all of this PC nonsense and start affording everyone the same courtesy of forgiveness if they express regret. No matter what party.

Why would you want to saddle future generations with unmanageable debt servicing, which is all running deficits does. It's just as bad as destroying the environment on them yet nobody is marching on capital hill about it. Way too many double standards today posing as a noble cause, ie. partisan politics.

We didn't miss anything, you are just oblivious to the need for petroleum products in todays world, they are just as needed as our biological functions. Now run along and take that dump that you so clearly need and come back when you are not so constipated.

Speaking of apocalyptic events, time is running out pretty fast on the UN and their prediction of 50 million "climate refugees" by 2020. Only three more months to go!

We'd also be dead pretty quickly. 125 years ago there were 1.5 billion people on the planet (maybe, no one was counting back then). Now there are almost 8 billion. What the climate apocalyptics really want is a mass human cull. That would be the direct result of no more fossil fuels. That combine harvesting all of that wheat can't run on solar panels. Nor can the semi hauling it to the elevator. Nor can the train hauling it to the processing stations to be turned into bread. Well, maybe a few can. But 98% of us would be dead of starvation and cold by then.

That is good news, now just need to finish first in the west and all is forgiven.

pigseye got a reaction from Bigblue204 in Game Day Thread: Week 15- Bombers @ Als, Khari Redux Edition
Got too soft with a big league, against a good team, it happens but Lapo & Hall don't seem to learn from it. Hopefully O'Shea has them play aggressive to the final whistle now, at least go down swinging. I can't bear to think this is just another Bomber team that's going to choke in the end.

Some of you may be too young to remember but I can remember paying $300 - 400/month in long distance bills when we lived in a rural Manitoba area. Then the market opened to competition and within 5 years our rates were down to under $10/month.

But it's not an over simplification to say we were being gauged by MTS at the time. When you have a monopoly on something you can set your price, economics 101.

The name wideleft says it all...…...a communist complaining about other forms of government trampling on human rights...….a mystery wrapped in an enigma for sure.

No go that it's affects on temperature will be anything more than a spit in the bucket. Meaning, that if we go up 6C just from natural variation, it's contribution is meaningless.

Okay I'm big enough to admit when I was wrong. I've been saying not to worry because we are in an interglacial period and can expect the temperatures to rise 2C above the pre-industrial levels.
Well I was wrong, new studies show that we can probably expect temperatures to rise up to 6C above pre-industrial levels. In a nutshell, we're ****** folks.
Tree remains dated to this period have been discovered 600-1000 meters atop the modern treeline in the Russian Altai mountains. With lapse rate and tectonic changes considered, this suggests surface air temperatures were between 3°C and possibly up to 5.9°C warmer than today (Ganyushkin et al., 2018) at this time.
Modern sea surface temperatures of 15.5°C and 10°C have been recorded in the subpolar North Atlantic (Tobago Basin and Bonair Basin, respectively). Between and about 10 and 15 thousand years ago, temperatures reached 23°C and 17°C, respectively, which is ~7°C warmer than today). Temperatures were 2-4°C warmer than today between 20 and 30 thousand years ago (Reißig et al., 2019).
Today’s North Atlantic’s bottom-water temperatures are about 4°C. They averaged ~5°C during the last glacial, with anomalies reaching 10°C both 13 and 16 thousand years ago and about 7°C both 15 and 19 thousand years ago (Yasuhara et al., 2019).
Modern annual temperatures at a California lake average 18°C. Between 31 and 24 thousand years ago, temperatures averaged 22°C to 23°C, which is about 4-5°C warmer than today (Feakins et al., 2019).
The modern temperature in the subarctic North Pacific ranges beween 3 to 4°C. About 14,500 years ago, the region had warm peaks of 5 to 9°C, as well as 4 to 7°C between 18 and 20 thousand years ago (Lohmann et al., 2019).
Sea surface temperatures near the Peruvian coast have plummeted in the last 50 years, with catfish remains in northern Peru suggesting this region was 4°C warmer than today during the Early Holocene. One reconstruction shows the region was ~2°C warmer than today about 15 to 16 thousand years ago (Salvatteci et al., 2019).
The “present observed temperatures” appear to be less than 24°C in the South Atlantic. This region was about 2°C warmer than today from about 10 thousand years ago to the Roman Warm Period, but it also reached similar or slightly (~1°C) warmer temperatures around 52 to 60 thousand years ago (Dauner et al., 2019).

Which is why the company sold for less than market value at the time.

Ask anybody who bought MTS stock after it privatized, they're very happy with the results.
