    It's on Hamas as the elected government that they never put any resources towards anything but their "military" activities. Maybe if they put more effort into building Gazan infrastructure than shooting rockets they wouldn't be almost entirely reliant on their own enemies for fuel and electricity.

    Green will quickly result in having no girlfriend though, unless you come up with some scheme to allow you to never poop in the same building as her.

    Pets should never be a surprise for sure. Having an idea that you've got one coming and being willing to take care of it is another story altogether

    I should also point out that the law doesn't specify addictions. It's about mental health conditions which just happens to include addiction. No provincial regulatory body has stated that they intend to allow addicts to recieve MAID.

    Keep in mind that this is a Vice article. They are not really a reputable news source, they are sensationalist at best.

    MAID is already under heavy scrutiny. MAID assessors and providers are heavily regulated by independent bodies in each province/territory.

    Its up to patients to decide whether they want MAID, and there are strict safeguards in place.

    This particular comment chain stems from a dude claiming that MAID is just eugenics. Doesn't that seem a little ridiculous to you?

    They fire off these things from civilian areas all the time. I don't see how it's so surprising to people that a shitty rocket fired out of a super dense city could fail and hit a building like a hospital.

    Misfires happen all the time, but when you're shooting from within city limits the chance of one leading to tragedy is much higher.

    So OP's statement that it was 20x California's is still inaccurate. Either way all this really indicates is ease of access in Canada. The idea that people are being forced into it is ludicrous conspiratorial thinking with absolutely no basis in fact.

    Like when? The big one people were up in arms about was the veteran who was advised to look into it by a Veteran Affairs employee. Veteran Affairs has absolutely no say in whether someone can or should seek MAID, and that employee was acting alone. Pretty sure they got shit canned for it too.

    Death panels still aren't a thing you dingus. No bodies of people deciding whether or not you should live or die, just people gaining the option to request it.

    That's a Postmedia Network owned paper. They've got a conservative bias, best known for that Tory rag the National Post.

    I don't think I'd trust unsourced statistics from an opinion piece in a Postmedia Network paper myself.

    The analysis I heard earlier today was that after the engine failure the rocket would essentially have the trajectory of a brick. It would have detonated its warhead on impact as expected, but it would also cook off all the remaining fuel since it clearly didn't reach the intended destination.

    First, it was a separate paramilitary group from Hamas called PIJ, second they obviously didn't intentionally bomb their own hospital. They fired a shitty rocket out of a civilian area, as they typically do, and the engine failed over the hospital.

    There is recorded communications between PIJ members talking about the misfire. They just aren't accepting blame publicly as it's advantageous to try and pin it on Israel.

    You could always work in cultural resource management. Here in Canada archaeological assessment is a legal requirement before any major construction, so there's always work to do without begging for investors. That said you'll be more educated and less paid than other trades-people you'll encounter on site, and that makes all the hard work certainly feel less rewarding.

  • Hey everyone, new to Battletech and know barely anything about the lore. I've got this idea in my head of playing a sort of ragtag rebel army with plenty of infantry, tanks, and what few dregs they could get their hands on for mechs. What mechs should I look into for this sort of theme? Also are there any established lore factions that this concept fits into?

    I played from Vanilla to Rise of Shadows before quitting Hearthstone. I had a fairly complete competitive collection at that time. How hard would it be for me to get back into Hearthstone if I intended to only play Wild?

    Anyone else on the fediverse playing MESBG? I legitimately think it's the best Games Workshop game.
