Sometimes the demand for outrage exceeds the supply.

@Jolly I was going to make the same point.

Cool stuff. Mrs. George and I have taken a couple of scenic rail trips. We've taken the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad twice. One of the locomotives was used in the movie "Stand By Me."

@George-K said in Merit Based: @George-K said in Merit Based: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp I dropped my age to 39 and lied about a Job offer, foreign work experience (USA?) and a couple of other things. Boosted up to 729. [image: 1684611776975-screenshot-2023-05-20-at-2.42.44-pm.png] Just increasing my age to 45 drops my score by 50 points. Citing your foreign work experience as USA is not lying. Foreign work experience in your profession is all what you have. You have never worked as a physician in Canada.

@Mik said in HOPO 14-1: How do you go about testing it? Do you introduce heavy metals to the body? Sounds dubious. https://phc.amedd.army.mil/topics/workplacehealth/ih/Pages/Occupational-Heavy-Metals.aspx Most occupational exposures to heavy metals are associated with metal working and machining, including but not limited to fabrication, smelting, welding, forges, foundries, grinding, refinishing and repair work.

@Horace said in At the college graduation: . . .chatting with a blond girl No comment. No need to comment. You sly fox you Horace!

I think it is. It certainly makes good sense from a business perspective.

@Axtremus said in This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Infrastructure: @Mik said in This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Infrastructure: Ah, yes. Shooting the messenger. Nope. I was shooting the (lack of) methodology. Well, I showed that to a friend of mine who has been a construction PM for decades. He confirmed it was accurate. Here you're appealing to authority. You cite "a friend" who supposedly knows something to make a claim, but neither you or your friend has shown any analysis that backs up the claim.

@Jolly said in $15B and not a mile of track...: oops. Second time this week. i'll blame senility.... No "oops" needed. My post expands on yours.

@Axtremus said in 278,000 warrantless searches: @Jolly said in 278,000 warrantless searches: Cut their budget. That would get their attention. Doesn't have to be Draconian, just no increase and a 10% cut of the existing. Well, the BLM movement has experimented with "cut their budget" for law enforcement agencies. What have you learned? It works. Who fucks with BLM?

No assault. Adults correcting misbehavior.
