The policy of containment of Communism, against Soviet Union, and China, has been around a lot longer than China's territorial waters activity.

Someone seems to be unable to tell between Twisted Metal / Carmageddon from real life. It's a multi-ton machine with a non-trivial amount of lithium, ffs.

Definitely an opinion piece. Let's just gloss over the "defund the police" comparison, those are just bait. Grades-based selection for high school seems crazy to me, it perpetuates problems with stratifying K-12 based on the

Just limit the contribution that could be made to Roth IRA? We have a limit of $6000 CAD for TFSA (basically our version of the Roth here) across the board. And not a lot of Canadians make full use of this. I'm not saying what he'

While it's a neat point that you bring up about human nature and misplaced radioactive sources, is a portable nuke reactor something that's comparaable to radiotherapy units? If what they mean is a Small Modular Reactor, they shou

I carry two phones for a reason. It's not just because I like to nuke my gonads. Even just an innocent mistake in scrubbing logs for personally identifiable information could bleed information to the other side.

The key thing, IMO, isn't whether they should use a different one. The key thing is to pick one that will be taught to all student, so that it becomes a standard. Good luck to anyone in the HKSAR government trying to propose that thou

And the problem with jyutping is that it's not a standard romanization taught to Hong Kongers. Wasn't the case for sure when I was in school in Colonial Hong Kong. Pretty sure not the case in SAR Hong Kong. Some of the romanizatio

Thank you. It's actually a sane take on the issue that isn't more about politics than the actual matter of a Cantonese speaker trying to type Chinese on a computer. And thank you for pointing gaudat's comment. I've had a

Cantonese do not use jyutping per se. Let me qualify that statement. Pinyin is taught in school alongside Mandarin in China [1]. Heck, when I learnt Mandarin as a kid in HK, pinyin was also used Jyutping was certainly not taught in scho

Jyutping was not taught in school, most definitely not the case when I studied primary school in Colonial HK. Wasn't the case when I went back and worked a few years, watching little cousins type their school work with something other

If they knew of his fanaticism, why did they not cut him off and discharge him before he got access to a frigging rocket launcher. Something fucked up bad, and it's not just this nut job.

It doesn't even have to be at that extreme. A walk in a park vs a picnic of 20 people in a park from different households. The former's risk is probably nil; the latter's not. However, I've seen this last fall...

Which is basically what the US does for nuke reactors. Putting in a new turbine that's a few percent more efficient, despite having the giant PITA to open it up, is better than a full decommissioning. Turns out power generation of all

I fly at least once a year across Canada to see family. You'll bet I'll be keeping an eye whether that plane is going to be 737 MAX 8 or any renames of it.

Ok, that's fair. My point being that it's the wrong takeaway to get mad at shorts for calling something bullshit and getting reward for it, and it sound rather irrational to me. The dog / cat shit pile was junk mortgage bundl

Canadian. I think it's interesting. Canada buy some stuff from Colt Canada, apparently, occasionally require designs to be manufacturered by Colt Canada for service rifles, such as the one used by the Rangers in the North. If CZ ends u
