    I think the Somalis and fraudsters are. Plead guilty, give 20% back and you're cool. I suspect he still has a good bit of that $9M left. I advocate flogging and a long stretch at hard labor.

    ew. But it's traditionally served with Cannonau, so maybe Nobody's Sock will have some.

    He's Lord High Admiral, but all his titles are honorary and our government would have to 'grant permission', not that it would ever have been refused. It was a perfect gift.

    Rubio was all ready to work at Spirit should the bailout have occurred. [image: 1777808328368-hhxe8knakaaueq7.jpeg] Apparently, he did some pre-bankruptcy training at the airline as well. https://x.com/charliebcurran/status/2050667987359969610?s=20

    I do remember. I actually have saved the English language Taiwan newspaper from that day. [image: 1777777649494-img_4943.jpg]

    I cannot help but wonder what would have happened had we attacked Iran's nuclear and military facilities in 2003 instead of invading Iraq. Hussein was a bad actor but was governed by self-interest. Not so the Iranian regime.

    @Axtremus Oh, there were lots of nazi's who weren't german. Just look at the number of european volunteers in the Waffen SS.

    If he wasn't regime change he should be bombing them right now. And (evil of me to say it) this should be a total war not a "bomb some refinery somewhere" strategy. You have to make the people feel it.

    Yeap, heard the similar story from some power/energy/utilities engineers I know. There are other components that are critical to hooking a data center up to the grid that are also back-ordered for years.

    @Renauda said: @taiwan_girl To me, this is a situation that the writers of the US constitution could never ever ever imagined. So for those who say that the constitution needs to be interpreted as the writers wanted makes no sense.. Good point and there are many, I’m sure who feel the same about 2nd Amendment “the right to bear arms shall not be infringed”. There is no way that the framers could have envisioned readily available breechloading firearms with semi-automatic and automatic actions firing centre fire smokeless powder rounds at high velocities. I agree 100%. I (and I believe you) have made that argument before. Lets get us on the US Supreme Court.

    I’m just converting, but yesterday in YYC it was $5.22 US per gallon but in Central AB it was $4.64 US per gallon. It’s costing about $50 CAD to travel 200kms on the highway. There are pumpjacks everywhere!
