sunkenvicaron Climate change has turned permafrost into a carbon emitter

I agree that the Conservatives suffered a colossal loss because Andrew Scheer is not leadership material.

Also, there will never be another typical Conservative majority due to mass migration. The Liberals bring 1 million Liberal-voting migrants per year into Canada. The population of which is 35 million. Simple math.

But none of this invalidates my argument that the Canadian media system is broken.

sunkenvicaron Murder by Rifle vs. Death by Meteor

You are proving my point because you are confusing the D.C. establishment with the people.

You simply don’t know Republicans. If any are on this site they are chuckling at your comment.

I digress. You seem interested in the southern border. The wall is currently made of tens of thousands of Mexican soldiers. Border walls are normal all around the world because they work.

As for children in Obama cages, everyone agrees this is wrong. This is why a wall is so important - there won’t be any illegal crossers to detain.

sunkenvicaron Murder by Rifle vs. Death by Meteor

You clearly don’t know gun owning Republicans. They will defend the Republic. Including from totalitarians.

You’re off in the rhubarb hallucinating about “Democratic virtue” which is a meaningless term and unrelated to a Republic based on laws.

sunkenvicaron Climate change has turned permafrost into a carbon emitter

Regardless of the truth of this story and the facts surrounding climate change Canadian media is not a credible source of information.

The CBC gets $2 BILLION/yr from the Trudeau Liberal government. All other private news orgs have a hand in a $600 Million/yr pot. For example, the Toronto Star alone receives $5.2 Million/yr from the Canadian federal government.

We can all agree this is a bad system apt to produce favourable results for the Liberals. For example, they won re-election on Monday.

Our collective conflagration will be a sweet release from the screeching of eco evangelists.

sunkenvicaron Murder by Rifle vs. Death by Meteor

You clearly don’t know the worldview of Republicans, most of whom own guns. Many are ready to defend the Republic against all enemies - foreign and domestic. Gun ownership is an inoculation against totalitarianism.

So far you seem to be a pessimistic outlier without solutions. This attitude is easily exploited by authoritarians.

The 2nd Amendment is valuable because F35s, tanks, and helicopter gunships are useless for fighting an armed citizenry.

Say a President uses the military to fight US civilians on US soil. He and anyone else involved in the plot would preside over a country not worth ruling. Because all their friends and family would be kidnapped and murdered by lunchtime.

sunkenvicaron Why iPhone 11 Is Apple’s Least Innovative iPhone Yet

This year Apple embraced populism. People wanted better cameras and more battery life. We got the best cameras on the market and the best battery life in an iPhone. Sales are up 10%.

I’m predicting innovation will come from UWB (the new ultra wide band chip) when Apple Glasses are released.

Where are the pictures and videos? A missed opportunity.

sunkenvicaron How TikTok censors videos that do not please Beijing

You are hallucinating nationalism where there is none.

China is untrustworthy because they routinely break business deals.

They violate trade agreements: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fCAut_Gr-3E

They steal our IP: https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-china-systematically-pries-...

They are waging war against us with Fentanyl: https://www.wsj.com/articles/despite-new-safeguards-fentanyl...

Chinese Fentanyl has killed hundreds of thousands of North Americans in the Third Opium War. It’s a no-brainer to pivot away from China.

sunkenvicaron U.N. postal union clinches deal to keep U.S. in

Trump lies. Just like all politicians. Trump is simply better at it than his opponents.

sunkenvicaron Pigs recorded using tools

Hunting invasive wild boar is encouraged year round in many jurisdictions. Lots of people choose to use their AR-15s. An excellent platform available in all kinds of calibers.

Trump also promoted the idea that Ted Cruz was born in Cuba.

Perhaps President Trump attacks all his political opponents equally - as strongly as possible?

sunkenvicaron U.N. postal union clinches deal to keep U.S. in

Strange. Without reading the book you are certain it contains no useful information.

Have you considered the possibility that both the author and yourself are suffering from TDS?

sunkenvicaron U.N. postal union clinches deal to keep U.S. in

An irrelevant statement. The book explains his negotiating skills and strategies. I recommend reading it because it will help you understand his speech and actions.

Thanks for this. App deleted because China is not a reliable place to do business.

sunkenvicaron Hinkley Point C nuclear plant to run £2.9bn over budget

Hinkley and Vogtle are the first Gen 3 reactors. It would be surprising if construction was fast and easy.

When we build more reactors our processes will improve. Just like Korea, Japan, and France.

Very few people on HN have read The Art of The Deal.

President Trump stopped these jobs from being shipped overseas to China.

The new Mac Pro was ready to be made in China. Then the Commander in Chief ordered American companies to move. Thank you President Trump.

sunkenvicaron Colt is ending production of AR-15s

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. Antis are playing the long game. Caseless ammo will one day be practical and it will be revolutionary.

In Canada antis will use the existing G11 ban to ban caseless ammo. Bans beget more bans until complete disarmament is achieved. This is their playbook.

sunkenvicaron Justin Trudeau blames privileged upbringing for wearing blackface

Damning video. He painted himself black from head to toe. How many times? He doesn’t know.

sunkenvicaron Colt is ending production of AR-15s

Canada has mandatory federal licensing.

Why do you want mandatory shall-issue licensing in America? Federal or state? I’d like to know your reasoning.

sunkenvicaron Colt is ending production of AR-15s

30 years later and they still want the Mini-14 banned.

Anti’s aren’t stupid. They banned the G11 to set precedent. Now any mass market firearm that uses caseless ammunition is immediately on the chopping block. A powerful move - cheap caseless ammo would be a huge boost to the community and industry.

sunkenvicaron Colt is ending production of AR-15s

Too bad. They make beautiful rifles.

Many people, like myself, bought a cheaper mass-market AR-15 instead. I spent the money I saved on ammunition. :)

sunkenvicaron Gas Plants Will Get Crushed by Wind, Solar by 2035: Study

Hydro is clean and cheap baseload power. Better than nuclear.

The impact of creating water reservoirs must be immense. Because we are dreaming about replacing hydro with vastly inferior power sources.

sunkenvicaron Gas Plants Will Get Crushed by Wind, Solar by 2035: Study

Humans are irrational. And it’s hard not to laugh at wind and solar.

But you are right. I would downvote if I was wrong and laughed at.
