There’s actually research that shows that farming under solar cover increases moisture retention and the crop yields of certain plants. You’ll also note that a lot of these installations are on marginal land- steep hillsides, arid land, and even floating on reservoirs. The latter slows the rate of evaporation from the reservoir as well, so it has a net environmental benefit.

You’re right though, not every installation is perfect. But we seldom ask these same questions when it’s a new housing development or a Walmart with a moat of paved parking around it.

Humanity

It’s not like he needs to uphold the deal beyond ending the war. The US certainly doesn’t honour its agreements anymore.

Thats how the murder of a Serbian devolved into a world war

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was Austrian.

A balloon full of jam

The USDA was certainly not spared the doge axe, they closed offices all along what will soon be the battlefront in this war.

Why is it ALWAYS the sports companies?

Because that’s the biggest broadcast rights moneymaker. Cable would be full and truly dead without sports.

Depends on your definition of ‘war’. They’ve definitely been in rightist America’s ear about abandoning NATO since 2016.

This is why they invaded Afghanistan in the first place. Their next step after what they thought would be a quick toodly-doo over the Afghanis was presumably to take a piece out of Pakistan in order to get a warm water port on the Arabian Sea.

It’s also worth noting that you lumped St Petersburg and Kaliningrad together somewhat, but they are vastly different. While St Petersburg has challenges getting to open ocean, it’s not the full-on exclave that Kaliningrad is, completely surrounded on all sides by the baltic states. I’m sure you know all of this, so this is for folks that don’t. It wasn’t entirely clear from the way you worded it.

I would have never imagine that Russia would have won the Cold War, let alone like this. I guess all of those decades of honing their misinformation and kompromat skills really came in handy.

As a guy not big on the whole consent thing, I doubt Trump understands Never particularly well.

Temu Trump

Well that’s bullshit. And I’m from rural Alberta

‘Do-nothing centrist’? The guy has been PM for all of two months, and won his first national election on Monday. Maybe give him a few months.

And by the way, he played a key role in orchestrating the bond selloff with the UK, France, and Japan on tariff day that caused Trump to back down. No other PM- none- could have conceived of let alone pulled off that.

Watching them sing the anthem full-throated during the 4 nations was a sight to behold.

We wouldn’t even have to fight that hard, just deny resources. February would whittle down the numbers quite nicely.

Not only is he going to secure a Carney majority, he may well cost Polievre his own seat.

We’ll be erecting Trump statues soon if he doesn’t quit being so helpful.

You’re not wrong. It looks so much bigger than the 2.1m sq km that it is. In fact, it’s 100k smaller than the Democratic Republic of the Congo. When you look at a Mercator map, Greenland looks comparable to the entire continent of Africa.

It’s actually useful to note that Canada+USA together (19.8 sq km) is bigger than Russia (17m sq km) by about an India (3m sq km), but still short of the former USSR (22m sq km). But add in Greenland (2.3)? Now you’ve got the biggest country that ever existed.

You’re right, making an America that is the largest country on earth is precisely what his ego is after.

We’re not always great a describing who we are, but we sure as fuck know who we are not.
