Just have to convince the jury that you have reason not to like a law and they can nullify it.

Is sailing the high seas in search of music actually illegal there, rather then a civil offence? Where I am, every time I buy a blank cassette or CDR, the *AA get a cut, supposedly to share with the musicians and writers, therefore the courts have ruled copying music for personal use is legal.
Sharing movies does mean you can sued for the cost of buying it on a DVD.
What the law does come down is counterfeiting others IP and selling it.
from countries that want to see us become part of China
WTF, it is America that is threatening other countries with annexation. It is America who is currently waging a war on the other side of the planet and fucking up the whole worlds economy. it is America that is run by a real estate developer and a bunch of lawyers who have their heads up their arse, rather then engineers like in China
China's bad but America is looking to be worse. I feel much more confident with a Chinese router then an American one spying on me, especially as it is America waging economic war with the goal of annexation. And the way it is looking, the average American should be way more worried about being spied on by their government then a government on the other side of the world.
Fix your fucking country. You're forefathers gave you the 2nd amendment to take care of fucking bad government that is anti-freedom.
Yea, I remember when they had to rejig the pumps to half gallons as they couldn't handle more then a dollar a gallon, people said it was temporary. Same thing when they had to rejig the pumps for over a dollar a litre, a temporary thing. With the stupidity of the Americans, I wouldn't count on it being temporary.
They don't stop them, rather feather them and the swarm of bats shows up on radar at a bit of distance and is only a worry in some spots.
Do you have any idea how much energy it takes to ship something to the Sun? Just getting to Mercury is harder then getting to Neptune.
Anyways, best is a mixture of sources with natural gas as a backup. Even here, the natural gas plant needs to be fired up at least once a decade for those really cold nights to supplicant the hydro. Wind would would do a way better job of supplicating the hydro, solar too.
Talking to my neighbour the other day. Has a 100 mile commute, loves making it in his Tesla, the car was cheaper then his truck, charges it with an extension cord, forget what he said it costs but fairly cheap in the land of cheap electricity and expensive gas.
Cats are by far the biggest killer of birds, followed by buildings. There is a problem with wind killing bats, which is fairly easy to mitigate by detecting the migrating bats and slowing down the turbines. End up lowering production by a percent or so.
See what happens if gas prices keep increasing. I paid $1.99.8 a litre Saturday, makes me wish for electric at 11 cents a kWh.
I'm old enough to remember that cable was basically some antennas on the highest hill so you get the more distant stations on your TV and that was it.
For a long time Apple had the education market to get people hooked, both students and their parents who bought what their kids used. That seems to be mostly gone so now they have released a relatively cheap laptop which is a big seller. So they do seem to agree with you.
At the rate America is going, you're not going to have any allies to help your war mongering and this war will be one of the leading causes as it shows the disdain America has for its allies.
Aren't the Guinea Pigs bred for food quite a bit larger then the pets?
Does our President speak the way he does because that's the only way he can express himself, or is he using language his base understands?
Both, it's the secret to his success.
Trump sure freaked out when cutting power to the States was brought up by Ontario. Unluckily with America close to a magnitude larger population wise, we're a lot more dependent on them then they are on us. As good as full economic war sounds, we're outnumbered.
Alberta is sorta like Texas, but stupider. They traditionally don't believe in interconnects and have mostly banned new renewable builds as it blocks the view of all the abandoned oil wells. BC of course has lots of its own hydro and wants to interconnect to Alberta, who has already built a lot of renewables. Hydro + wind + solar works well together.
We also need interconnects north, BC to the Yukon and Alberta to the NWT, lots of mines planned up there that need cheap power.
Science may someday discover what faith has always known.
