    Replacing the Subs

    Don't have time to watch it yet, but here is a primer video for you and AI says this: By mass, hydrogen contains nearly three times more energy than diesel (\(120 \text{ MJ/kg}\) vs. \(45.5 \text{ MJ/kg}\)). However, because hydrogen is a very light gas, it has low volumetric density unless...

    Seniors Benefits Discussion- split from Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    One of the shocks for her, was that the hubby did all the finance and such, and they got married young, so on divorce, she had no credit rating and could not get a credit card or a loan, so paying rent, food on the table and covering the kids expenses was a real struggle. That lesson stuck with...

    Seniors Benefits Discussion- split from Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    My first senior discount was at Sears, the nice young lady says; "Oh and you get the seniors discount at 10%" I was starting to protest that I was not a senior and my inner Scot said to me; "Shut up you twat, it's an easy 10%"

    Seniors Benefits Discussion- split from Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    I had a friend with two kids, after a divorce, she had to go onto welfare for awhile, while on it, a lot of the kids medical and dental stuff was covered, when she found a job and went off welfare, she lost all of that benefits for her kids, that was a real struggle to make the leap, but she did...

    Canada seeks to buy Long Range Precision Rockets (probably US MLRS or HIMARS)

    With our Aerospace industry, it should be a fairly easy leap into this technology. With the global demand, I suspect foreign sales will help sustain it. The government will need to agree on covering the start costs. One option is to have the government build the line and have a private entity...

    Canada to Spend $5.0Bil on AEW Aircraft (Saab Globaleye)

    I have to wonder that if we go with the KSS, that buying the Gripen will be their nod to the EU and if we go with the RCH turret that would be the 2nd prize for the Germans?

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Iran needs to show it cares about it's primary proxy and Hezbollah needs to show Iran that it still matters. Israel will pay lip service to Trump, but will still hammer Hezbollah.

    Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

    I worked for BC Ferries for a bit, it was so bad that at the terminal where I worked the assistant terminal manager and the shop steward had gone to school together and secretly conspired together, to get things done by not advising management or the union. The relationship in BCF between the...

    Littoral Operations

    I think the Gaza operation pointed out the need for the capability to conduct unopposed landings in places with minimal infrastructure. If you want global reach, that's part of the price.

    Hooters Family-Friendly Rebrand

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    I suspect that if we asked SK to refurbish our C3 fleet as part of winning the sub deal, they easily do it. They have some 1200 M101's is storage.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    It was an odd time for interceptors, guns were quite limited in what they could do, but unguided rockets turned out to be a complete failure as well. It was realized that guided missiles were the way to go, but the technology was not yet really there. A good chunk of the expenses for the Arrow...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    AI: Germany primarily produces its hydrogen domestically using fossil fuels (like natural gas) through steam-methane reforming. However, because the country plans to fully transition to green hydrogen for heavy industry and power, it aims to import 50% to 70% of its future hydrogen demand. [1...
