@ailanyus No, I think welfare should be replaced with workfare. Everyone who wants to claim benefits must contribute in some fashion. We have all the infrastructure in place to allow even the most handicapped to help out at a library, a school, a hospital, community center, etc...

Do you really think people should need to pass a drug test to get welfare benefits? 🤔

"This land is our land." As an American and thus a member of the only people who qualify as indigenous to the Moon, I offer for consideration the incorporation of the moon as the 51st State, and naming it "Trump". Further, any Canadian who sets foot on our soil must first submit a Land Acknowledgements statement recognizing Americans as the Lunar First Nation, and respecting our special authority over these, our ancestral lands.

@Wolmsicus @ApoStructura And you know this definitively, how? Like the Math teacher used to say, Show your work!

@AlfredBucket @ApoStructura Lol. SpaceX is nowhere near launching a mission to the moon.

Considering how much hype from the general public Artemis II is getting, I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like when SpaceX lands the skyscraper sized HLS on the Moon in a couple years.

@MbarkCherguia The all powerful and heavy hand of the Catholic Chruch.

What inspired human beings to build things like this?

@engineers_feed And you were there to actually witness this, and around long before that so you could 100% determine that no one else, anywhere .... sigh such statements make me cringe. Now if you had phrased it as a Question.... inviting speculation and debate.... then ok. U R a TT.

Human's first contact with electricity was electric fish.

These solar panels don't look very aerodynamic, what were NASA thinking?

@mrmikeMTL The Sauce you twit. The sauce.

If you grew up in a “vegetables at every meal” household…. what did you eat with spaghetti?

@acoyne The Tyranny of Geography. Japan (approx 145,937 sq mi) is literally smaller than goofy-newfie-land. Total cost of Japanese HSR to date: Aprox 100 billion USD. Imagine that 20x, the distances x 100. That would be why. Well that and politicians with spines (in Japan, not Canada)

I think their advice would be: Cram 120 million people into an area slightly smaller than Newfoundland. Put 93 per cent of them in cities. Even in the Quebec-Windsor corridor, population density is a fraction of Japan's; the economics of high-speed rail are accordingly a little different.

@Saganismm Look at all that space. Why do we not have many more of these? Sigh, ah the great old days when we were bold.

@dreamsNscience Ok, did anyone else just imagine an low viz version assassin bot climbing the wall of their apartment block..? brrrrr.

Amazing project from ETH Zürich ! It combines wheels with tiltable propellers that generate force to press the robot against the wall while also pushing it upward, allowing it to continue moving vertically with agility. 🎥 mauricio.frizzarin

@Albertagirl62 Well, TBH that is in Quebec... and it is at the very end of the storage life of things grown last summer. So, clean them up, compost the bad one and carry on buying Canadain.

Rotten within a week buy Canadian they say …FO 😡

t.co/8TKpr28ZGk British TV host Alex Phillips tells Islamists to shove their “Islamophobia” blasphemy law. She doubles down on the burka ban and calls to follow Italy’s lead, banning both virginity tests and full-face Islamic veils. “We are culturally Christian,” she said, and argued for the UK government to defend Britain’s identity, culture, and values. Do you agree with her?

@Pinboard That 1 picture, if that was all we gained from space science, then ya. But you have to be retarded to think that this one picture is all we get from it. There are literally trillions in benefits to almost every aspect of life due to space exploration. Grow up.

I'm going to say it. I don't think this view is worth four billion dollars

@wakenminds Weeeeellllll, 500 year ago, the Men building monuments were usually 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation versions of their forefathers.. so they literally spend their entire lives learning the craft. 20 year old apprentice -already "in school" for 15ish years. That's = multiple degrees.

"you need a degree to build a house" Men without degrees 500 years ago:

@pureMetatron A proper pea soup (french canadian style), with just a bit of ham is a great one for those chilly days. Also, a homemade mushroom soup, yummy... Love your Channel BTW. Keep up the great work on educating us while keeping your biases known.

I love French onion soup. What’s your favorite soup?

China emits more CO₂ in 12 days than Australia does in a whole year. Yet Australia's tiny fleet of coal plants and 1% share of global emissions is somehow the climate emergency. Make it make sense.

@Bunny_ngl PiHole and adblockers do a great job of removing the "enshitification" of all the sites.

YouTube has become almost impossible to watch now with so many ads. 🫩

@marissenmark I'd like to see Rail in Canada vastly expand to all corners (where possible) not only to carry people and goods, but to also bring back the ability to bring your vehicle along. This would make long distance travel with electric cars feasable. Add High speed to that, even better.

Seems like most people against high speed rail in Canada assume that everyone will ride it for free. And they also appear to assume that there will be no economic or environmental spinoff. We never hear them complain about building more highways or bridges.

@Kekius_Sage It's called "Studying" been working now for thousands of years, so ya. LOL

Is it possible to “download” knowledge directly into the brain?

@Tectone Well for one the people going to Mars will actually have an IQ over 90, so there's that.

How tf do people think we gon populate Mars, When we can’t even fix Detroit.
