Cool, I never knew lesbian couples consisted of two males. What a wild world.

I agree with your final statement with respect to cadavers, as well.

Someone has a rare condition that leads to some scientific insight that makes a researcher or company rich, and they get nothing. People make tens of thousands of dollars processing bodies for organ transplants, and the donor’s family get a thank you note.

Let’s not pretend that the medical tissue harvesting and usage system isn’t for-profit. The only people not getting ahead in the process are the people literally giving of themselves for the sake of others.

In my fifties, saw porn as a minor. Paper was a thing for the last century, at least!

The judge also ruled that he must pay child support, which is an excellent outcome. Just because he’s not worthy to exercise his parental rights doesn’t mean he should be able to escape his responsibilities.

And that would be unfortunate for them, but clearer heads may come to the conclusion that they would have more power internationally than they do now.

How many ridings is this true for in the entire country? I’ll be voting liberal, and will be completely unsurprised if the conservatives get in where I live. But it will indicate something in the polls if/when more people than ever vote against them, which will increase the odds of Poilievre getting ousted if they lose.

So, just like casinos have been used to launder money, but online. Quite the revelation.

“How do you know he wasn’t paid by Trudeau?” Just you wait.

If I spend an entire article talking about ways that school dress codes fall afoul of cultural values because Scot sometimes wear kilts, am I not talking about dress codes?

Just because you can’t extrapolate doesn’t mean the rest of us shouldn’t.

-Reads title.

So, where does it say copyright again?

PNG exists because GIF was patented. The lack of gifs for so long was directly because of the royalty costs.

That’s one of many examples where science and culture were stifled because of excessive IP laws.

No, it would be desecration of a corpse. That might change when we have the potential to revive corpsicles, but the law as it stands doesn’t consider destroying dead bodies as murder.

Space habitats ftw!

It took me about a minute to find this: graphene aerogel for sale.

Yeah, this looks like the exact opposite of multiculturism. The guys who preferentially don’t share a language with 95% of the population of the continent consume more local content than those who share a common language with 80% of the continent.

Some of the newer cars have a heat pipe from the batteries to the cabin, so waste heat from discharging the batteries also keeps the cabin warm and improves winter ranges.

That’s a bit of a non-issue when smartphone penetration is as high as it is.

First and foremost, mob justice is rarely justice. Second, as the other poster noted, this has been a problematic intersection for over a decade. This guy was just the unlucky one to have a bunch of people die because of his bad judgement. Third, when is the last time someone was deported over a negligence conviction of any kind?

I get that the families of these victims never want to see him again, but it’s a big country. Their desires can be met without deporting the guy.

I’m not against deporting criminals, but I believe they should present a danger to society. I’m pretty sure this guy is never going to do something like this again, if for no other reason than him not being allowed to drive professionally (and if he is still allowed to drive professionally, that’s another, different failure of the system).

If this intersection has been talked about for over a decade, it sounds like a lot of people got lucky and one person got unlucky, causing the deaths of a bunch of people.

There was a notorious corner near where I live. A family friend was going to work and taking his kids to school, as well as another kid, I believe. He and most or all of the people got hit by a truck and died. 4 or 5 people, obviously devastating for the families. Also not the first accident at that corner, major or minor. (This is a major intersection, thousands of vehicles a day, so even infrequent events happen a lot.)Sure, I could get angry at the truck driver. Alternatively, I could get frustrated with the local government for leaving an obviously dangerous intersection unchanged. It’s finally getting altered, presumably to make it safer.

I agree, the families should get the support they need, but therapy isn’t free here. I can agree if this man lives in a small community, it would be easier for everyone if he left. But that’s leaving the town, not the country. Oh, there’s no law to require that? Unfortunate, but that’s no excuse to abuse the law instead.
