    He folded .....china isnt going to give him a thing now

    Well if you know some of the details of what transpired for this to happen then you would not have made this statement.

    The Christmas toy tariff.......how it works. Most of the contracts for this seasons Christmas  products were negotiated in US dollars and paid with US dollars. The tariffs imposed with a contract setup this way would directly impact the US  consumer. New contracts going forward will require Chinese Yuan dollars to be paid for products. So far China has devalued its dollar by %12 to counter the tariffs imposed by the US. This has resulted in no real increase of pricing from the addition of the tariffs. In essence transferring all of the tariff increase to the Chinese to bear once it takes effect after santa day. 

    So while it appears to look bad, when you look at the details and not the spin, it all makes sense. LoL

    In 2016 I went to a kayak festival in 2018 I said I hav very little interest in spending time in the states. You’d have to have very little concept of time to think that is a lie. I do not want to spend time in the US. That is the truth. I have travelled in the US a lot over the years and have cut back my travel there a lot. Before Trump I spent at least 3 weekends per year at US kayak festivals. I haven’t been to one in 2018 or 2019. I’ve skied/boarded close to 20 resorts in the US. Zero since Trump.   

    You also claimed that I said “I don’t leave the terminal when I have a connecting flight.” I did not say that. I said I avoid flights that connect in the US which is true. You were lying. Or just showing off your grade 4 reading comprehension. 

    We flew to Tahiti this year and tried to avoid the US. But ended up flying through San Francisco. Had a great time. My wife wanted to tour San Fran and we really enjoyed the city.  A dolt like you would call that a gotcha. If we had any viable choices we would not have flown through the US. 

    So keep lying little Trumpster.

     A rider with a good thumb who can maintain traction on a 800 without smoking the track will beat a 600 all day. Get some ham fisted mouth breather who slams it to the bars will get smacked around by a 600 all the time.

    Most 600 can deliver all their power to the ground without blowing out the track. this is the only advantage a 600 has and in the right conditions can give any 800 fits.

    seen it way too many times, 600 jumps out of the hole and 800 digs a hole. LoL

    A 600 in the trails does not have enough power to upset the chassis and can be driven quite fast. A 800 that yanks the skis off the ground at 50 takes way more finesse to achieve the same average speed. A good rider will adapt and in the end is faster on the 800 but requires a lot more energy to do so.  

    So in the end Ben and Zammy reach the end of the trail with 2 smashed up sleds and they were both the first one there. LoL

    We've already been working on "the plan".  Toyota came out with the Prius somewhere around 1998, Musk brought us the Tesla Roadster in 2008.  The cost of solar and wind power has come down in cost so much so that it's now in line with or less expensive than coal.  Many coal power plants are set to be retired in the next decade in favor of alternatives.  Existing buildings are being retro-commissioned with more efficient HVAC systems featuring variable speed fans, supply temp and static pressure reset based on zone demand.  Remember when they said if we didn't do anything that the polar ice cap would be melted by now but then we actually innovated and did things which have helped to delay that?  Success!!!

    So what kind of resources to wind and solar are required to bring said product to market? and how would that production somehow be less than coal/NG fired power? what are the differences in production in relation to GHG does the production of solar and wind vs a coal/NG fired generator? What emits more?

    Is there a requirement for a reliable backup source of energy to be able to immediately recover any generation lost to solar or wind? And does this requirement guarantee that there will be equal amounts of conventional backup to new solar and wind installed. Ie if 100mw of solar is installed does that require 100mw of coal/NG to back it up?

    If a coal/NG generating stn is supplemented with solar/wind do the coal/NG units get shut down or run on hot standby?

    Do battery's require massive amounts of energy to produce and dispose of? is there a real difference in total over a 10 year lifespan of electric vs gas powered vehicles?

    is the electricity to charge your electric car from coal/Ng or Hydro generation. Where does the added generation for electric vehicles come from if it's environmentally unacceptable to use Hydro for new sources of generation?

    You would like a study that links the current flooding with climate change? Really?  You want a peer reviewed paper during the event????   Or are you saying that climate change does not make extreme weather events more common and harsher? 

    Are you claiming that prices do not affect consumer decisions?

     

    What I am saying is there is no fucking link except for the media bleating it as such every chance they get.

    What extreme weather? Are you claiming that rain in your backyard is some how extreme?

    There is no more harsh or extreme weather than there ever was. Claiming every weather event as  extreme or unprecedented is false rhetoric lapped up by lemmings with no other thought put to it except they heard it on the news. People like you are a fascists dream. Toe the line and spread the gospel

    so only your propaganda has merit because you believe but the opposing view has no merit because you dont believe, sounds like some sort of cult or religion.

    Tell ms how has climate change caused the flooding in eastern canada? I keep hearing the claim but see no evidence to back the continued BS I hear.

    Are you attempting to correlate a weather pattern that has been identified as a 1 in a 100 year scenario as not being able to happen twice in a 5 or 10 year period?

    That seems to be the only underlying claim backing this climate change agenda. Remember that weather in your back yard is not systematic or indicative to some sort of global catastrophe. you drink your koolaide like a good minion

    Completely different story. Attacking known locations during pre invasion strikes and GWOT continuing operations are not the same thing. Troops in contact handle all air assets from the ground. End of story. But please, tell me more how it works. This was my shit. I’m not trying to wave it around in your face, but this is what I did. It’s how it is.

    this is your area of knowledge. walls and borders not so much /Derp
