HSR makes long trips faster, and when around home they charge the EV at home while they sleep. So, they would save time on travel between centres, and save time compared to us luddites having to stop at gas stations. 😉

Fair enough, but those are best case numbers. They don't account for the reality that there are times public chargers don't seem to actually charge at their advertised rate. Not a big deal deal if you don't have to rely on public chargers, but if you can't charge at home waiting for a free...

That works for the early adapters, but once enough people are looking to do the same thing it goes right back to not being able to find convenient charging. Compared to the usual wait at a gas station, having to sit around for 20-30 min waiting for a charger is pretty brutal. Even Costoco Gas...

When I was in Cold Lake, without fail during Maple Flag, some European there for the exercise would ask about making a day trip to Jasper... When I would explain that it's a six hour drive each way, they would be genuinely shocked.

You dont dump people that have been that high tempo back into thw real world at home... Unless you want the USN to dominate the local news cycle for th3 first few weeks after return. Just like we went to Cyprus after Afghanistan, the Americans are choosing to inflict the "release" on a resort...

It's a true struggle daily, particularly when the soup is "mid" at best... Who knew free soup could be such a drag on morale... Fucking weak sailors will kill me before beer, and beer has been putting in a solid shift for at least a decade.

Fair enough, we all have a differing opinions on how much "freedom" should be allocated to everything, every day. I'm very much a proponent of securing critical industries behind a solid fence of tariffs or exclusions, but I understand where the free trade absolutists are coming from. I hope...

So, unlike the president, the eagle knew when the fight wasn't worth the cost. It's kind of sad that a dinosaur is smarter than the ruler of the most powerful nation on earth.

So... A "parked" truck hit controversial pipeline in the middle of a trade war... Maybe I'm a bit too pessimistic, but how can this be played against Canada/Ontario?

Also, the filtered water fountains for refilling water bottles are awesome. I am now back on a CPF, and forgot how some of the little things on an AOPV made a big difference. That said, the big things, like smaller cabins, make a bigger difference.

Do you mean to suggest that the shiny brochures aren't presenting the full picture?

I think the key issue to drill down into is this; Did the toque get placed on the body before or after the gloves? If we had known that, maybe we would have made different choices. Agreed, but my argument wasn't about livelihoods, it was about protecting certain industries determined...

Fair, but is mining a good analog for training? Hard use means a lot of things, and their hard use might not really align with what we need. Electronics are the future, and aren't going away. Just because Tpr Blogins doesn't pay the fuel bill doesn't mean someone, somewhere, isn't. What made...

Do you really mean "Do you have an empirical peer reviewed study to back-up your opinion I disagree with?" If so, no... But I'm sure you have one to back-up your opinion that also covers food sovereignty, and particularities of the Canadian market with a special focus on Atlantic Canada...

I'm guessing there are more internal trade barriers there than people imagine as well... As it turns out, people don't like being overly dependant on "others" who are far away and don't necessarily share the same interests. Edit: Given the relatively recent proliferation of refrigeration...
