In Oslo, four articulated buses trapped themselves in a roundabout yesterday.

Economic desperation keeps increasing with a ban or not, a real lose-lose situation. Flip that around instead. Ban gambling then make education free. (and ban AI from education that's another disaster). Transfer a losing bet to an investment on ourselves to achieve skills and have real goals.

Thanks to King Carl XVI Gustaf & Queen Silvia for visiting. We don't have much of a sense of ourselves right now, & this was a part of a push to buy Gripens which I am in favour of.

Fealty-35 wholly unsuited for Canada's Arctic. It should have been disqualified. Also fuel guzzlers. Can't even take an extra fuel tank because it would ruin the stealth. F-35 limited to 2200km, Gripen 3200km (or 4000km w/ extra tank). I have a long thread at #GripenOclock, here are some highlights

Ontario NDP has to stop splitting the vote in only 30 ridings and that would do it, but refuses to form a coalition every election. No one wants to work for Ontarians only their parties. Change that, and you can change the outcome
During elections NDP keep vote splitting so Ford wins. If LIBNDP stopped running in 30 ridings they lose anyway, use GRN as a coalition vote, then they can all form a coalition government and oust Ford from power. You don't have to like each other but a coalition is needed. It's on you

Iowa City made its buses free. Traffic cleared. So did the air. That's because fossil fuels are massively polluting.
Ridership jumped, people cut back on driving and, over the summer, the city extended the program another year.

One way to miraculously have TKMS win the bid then we'll not have 4 replacement subs until mid to late 2040s. But SK will have 4 subs by 2035 & all 12 by 2043. If they agree on both as a mixed fleet like F-35s & Gripens, then you could have all 12 SK subs plus 4 TKMS. SK better arms dealer

Absolutely true. When they took the summer to analyze I thought I'd do the same thinking it would take time. It didn't take 5 min. Tried again for an hour. Was also done. Gripen is the clear choice for Canada, winterized, further range, reinforced landing gear. Thread #GripenOclock

“What sets Utrecht apart is that it has understood something paramount long before most others, that the goal is no longer to make space for cycling, but to construct the city around cycling.”
