Some of us don't have a choice, some of us still don't have a choice. Welcome to Canada.

It's just as ridiculous to claim that a study on chickens means the same thing happens in humans....

Does it mean it's worth looking into in primates? Sure... But it's not time to break out in unified song that such stuff happens in humans and all this vaccination stuff is BAD BAD BAD...

By the Way "Chicken Pox" is in no way related to chickens... Nobody really knows why the word "chicken" is in the name to start with. It didn't come from chickens nor does it infect chickens.... Some theories say it's named after "chickpeas" or perhaps is some mixture of old English words that got morphed into "chicken", but there is no connection to the barnyard animal.

The availability of solar and say a coal fired plant are totally different numbers. Coal fired plants have reliability numbers for available output which is darned near one hundred percent of scheduled. Yes, there are failures from time to time, but the availability of a coal plant is really good and when they are making power, chances are it's going to be 100% of scheduled.

Photovoltaic solar, on the other hand, has variability approaching 50% of scheduled capacity ALL THE TIME. Lets say you have a forecasted 100MW solar capacity on line, you can only count on a fraction of that to be available and you need to have reserves to cover the variable fraction, even if you get what you forecasted. Wind is similar only it's worse, usually having about 35% (65% variable) capacity. It's hard to know where the sun will shine and how fast the wind will blow over the next 10 min, and you simply must as a grid operator KNOW how much power you are generating and how much you are using and they must balance or really bad things happen to the grid (think blackouts and equipment damage..)

So this reserve capacity needs to be up and spinning, ready for energy production when you put photovoltaic solar and wind into the mix. More reserve capacity than you would need w/o the renewables and their unreliable energy sources....

No, you just repeated the claim, but didn't say what the subsidies you think Oil companies get actually ARE.

I'm asking you to detail what they ARE if it's so clear they exist to you, tell me what they are... Enlighten me with the details of these subsidies you'd end....

BTW, I don't think any exist even though you and others make this claim all the time.... So tell me what they are, I'm waiting....

Got to love a joker like you..

Just pop up a little lead umbrella so there's a shady spot.

Only if you think Chickens and Humans share enough commonality in our immune systems and the viruses that infect us will act the same in a human host as in a chicken.

Of course the anti-vaxxers are accustom to threading together some pretty sketchy evidence to create their "science" to start with, so why not let them have this.... Most of them are still on the "vaccinations cause autism" band wagon, which has about as much evidence as Neil Armstrong not having been to the moon.... Why should this little study be left out?

Where the Oral polio vaccine does sometimes cause polio, it hasn't yet caused a new more virulent strain of polio to appear. What they say is that sometimes the attenuated Polio virus mutates back into the non-attenuated version and can infect the recipient. The injectable version of the vaccine never causes Polio. This vaccine has been in nearly constant use since it came out in the late 60's, so I think that for Polio at least, the vaccine hasn't had this affect of creating a SUPER POLIO virus, but it's done an excellent job of nearly eliminating Polio for the planet. One year in the US in 1964, 5,000 people DIED from Polio and many more where harmed for life. Last year, there where zero cases of Polio in the whole western hemisphere.

Between the two types of vaccine, we have successfully eradicated one of the three types of polio virus (Type 2 I believe) and are nearly to the point where "in the wild" infections of polio world wide are getting close to single digits per year. (I believe it as something like 55 total infections, with a significant number being from the oral vaccine.) I'll have to go check the WHO's numbers to be sure though.

Again, We are going to have to disagree on this one. I believe that mortgage lenders where coerced into making loans they knew where likely going to be bad by federal fair housing standards and equal opportunity laws where they started looking at things like race and sex and deciding which lenders where in compliance and which ones where too discriminating. HUD was big into this kind of thing for decades. What do you think Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac where all about and why do you think they got left holding most of the bag?

I realize that it's pretty indirect, but the fact remains that it was government relaxation of mortgage standards and the government accepting the risk for the sub-prime loans that got this ball rolling. If you had left banks to their own devices, skipped on Fannie and Freddie, you can bet 2008 would never have happened...

You want to just blame the evil banks for everything..... They had a PART in this, but it was government that really messed this thing up, both by pushing the lenders into making loans that NOBODY in the right mind would buy, and then soaking up this bad paper by funding Fannie and Freddie to take on the risk for it almost without bound. There should have been laws about this, but that would have killed the sacred cow of "affordable housing" congress was trying to keep alive. It was the S&L thing on steroids, which ALSO was a failure of government regulation with the S&L's being encouraged to do bad things in the process....

Uh-huh. Right.

You know what would be even better news for US tech hardware exporters?

If they didn't have a huge boat anchor attached in the form of NSA built-in backdoors and vulnerabilities.

Really, if you're a foreign corporation that competes in any way with US corporations/interests/research, or any government/organization/individual that US TLAs could possibly even tangentially term "of interest", would you buy stuff from US makers/manufacturers despite what's been revealed publicly over the last 20 years to present concerning US TLA activity within the US tech manufacturing/exporting industries?

Particularly in light of the recent revelations of so many unlawful and/or unconstitutional programs and activities engaged in by US intelligence organizations courtesy of the courageous whistle-blower Edward Snowden, which keep revealing new programs that violate constitutional principles and prohibitions with every new dump from the trove.

US tech companies have to overcome all that (quite understandable and logical) mistrust (good luck!), and *then* compete against other corporations that don't have that perceived millstone around their necks.

This will not turn out well for the US tech industries that need/rely on exporting their goods, and with cheap imports flowing into the US, even those who were national/regional in nature will find themselves priced out of the market.

2. Steel mfg - Offshored

3. Heavy Industries/Factories - Offshored

4. Artificial politically-motivated limits on energy production and artificially-created increases in cost.

5. ...?

I'm not liking the direction this is trending.

If it roughly parallels past similar historical scenarios, it doesn't end well for anyone in the US (well, except those 'too big to starve'), neither Left nor Right, nor atheists, Christians, Muslims, or whatever "ism" or party you favor.

Literally exactly the same that it sounded before this was announced. I'm going through my list of all of the reasons why I don't have an iPhone, and this announcement doesn't seem to have changed even a single one of those reasons.

"A fully weaponized successful attack could even delete the message before you see it."

A fully weaponized attack could take screenshots and camera pictures of you tossing off at Wikiarmpits.

Depends on how much pressure it takes to compress them into a liquid.

Does that site have, ummmmm, plans for, ummmmm, other 3D-printable body parts?
