That pic is obviously of a much younger Putin and Merkle.

More recently you have this instead … https://tenor.com/en-CA/view/merkel-putin-eyeroll-gif-9164919

According to Jordan Peterson anyway.

Just one small edit there … Saskatoon was the settler haven for starlight tours beginning in the mid/late 70s.

Source is me … I lived there in the 70s and 80s and had a couple of male friends it happened to (they survived).

Just did this one earlier today.

What a bunch of crap. :(

ahahahahahaha!!

That’s freaking hilarious. Muskie is an idjit.

I know Catholics who were far more fundamentalist than many of my former evangelical friends were.

Again, fundamentalism is the precursor for people to decide that they are the only ones who know the “right” way to think, to live, to speak. Only they are saved, only they know the true path, etc etc etc.

And never forget that Christian fundamentalism is no different than Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist versions. They all rely on cultish ways to deny their neighbours the freedom to believe or to even live.

Tbh it’s not just evangelicals. It’s fundamentalists of every stripe, whether they be gov’ts or religions (or a mix of both in some cases). Even courts can be like that (looking at you SCOTUS).

Trying to ‘go back to a simpler time’ by re-enacting laws and rules that thwart the basic fundamentals of democracy is stupid at best.

Can’t it be both a gov’t and man’s statement?

Yup. Jack’s hands were tied by SCOTUS.

It is good that he didn’t dismiss the charges with prejudice tho 'cause that means they can be brought again.

True.

The same could be said of a multi-national agreement that gets revisited every six years at the whim of one leader.

if the US wants to apply the tarifs in the USMCA treat it had to be applied to both

I’m not sure that it’s mandatory (within the agreement) that tariffs must be unilateral. I suspect the orange asshole is simply doing it to both nations so that he appears to be taking a strong stance on the “Buy American” mantra.

How do we know the rate of weather change from millions of years ago just from fossils?

Info doesn’t just come from fossils. Geology is used as well, ie; differing layers of sediment, rock, even layers of fossilized burned vegetation, flooding or lava flows form a basis to be able to judge earth’s history.

I assume that the further back we go in time the more inaccurate we are on how the climate change and we can only know about the general climate from the plants and animals we find.

That is why the older something is, the wider the scientific dating can be, ie: managed agriculture methods began around 12,000 yrs ago vs horses developed 45 to 55 million years ago.

Also why didn’t you question OP’s source of data?

Because the info OP gave is accepted science and can readily be found everywhere.

I think …

That’s the problem. Thinking without actual evidence to back it up = your opinion. Having an opinion is fine. But in a discussion such as this you need to come into it with factual data.

It’s the equivalent of showing up to a gun fight with a knife, believing you have a chance of winning.

“(RFK Jr’s) Samoan incident showed us how disinformation can kill,” said American paediatrician Dr Paul Offit, who has followed Kennedy’s anti-vaccine activism since 2005. “He sowed further distrust, he jumped all over it – he met with anti-vaxxers in Samoa to promote the notion that ‘it’s not measles, it’s the vaccine’, and immunisation rates dropped.”

Yes it is.

sigh

Now imagine having to use 30,000 litres of water for every Tesla/EV on fire while facing extreme drought conditions caused by global warming.

lookin at you Cali

And Canada’s and Mexico’s as well.

The orange asshole just doesn’t gaf about anyone but himself.

He should be first on the BBQ menu.

I believe you got the percentages correct (I watched the video yesterday).

To everyone looking at the bidding numbers only – they don’t include a lot of concessions the NC parents gave to both the Texas parents and the Onion in order to keep AJ out of the deal.

The video goes into great detail about how the deal came to be, and how the Onion and NC parents worked HARD to make it the most attractive one to both the trustee and Texas parents.

Canada’s move to expand our trade agreements began back in 2003 with the BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) crisis when our cattle exports to the USA (and other nations) were shut down.

But you’re right that we haven’t worked hard enough on further expansions.

The current agreement (known as USMCA or NAFTA 2.0) was signed in 2018 and took effect in 2020. Trump wants to use the 6-year renegotiation provision that is in the deal to fuck with Canada and Mexico even more than the current deal does.
