    2024 BC Election

    BC is the place that, despite having a provincial NDP government at the time, sent Reform to Ottawa overwhelmingly from ‘93 to ‘00. Yeah, it’s weird here.

    Trudeau Popularity - or not. Nanos research

    Me and the missus bought one as an alternate to baseboard heat in our first place in Sooke in the early 90s. Pellets were cheap then, something like $4 for a 40lb bag. Problem was it needed power to run the exhaust fan. Running it during a power failure smoked out the house. Later versions...

    Battle of Hoth revisionist history

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    And since @Navy_Pete has alluded to the fun of water compensated tanks and fuel husbandry, despite the sterling efforts of our UDER, sometimes your gas was only as good as it's source, which during APOLLO was: 1. RN/RFA ( we reckoned they had a side hustle with the Sultan to get the good...

    If you could dump fuel of suspect quality into an FT4, spin it and add a spark....it'd start. Fuel atomization/air assist was a nice to have. 570KF's on the other hand..........🤬
