Volourn Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Then again, he is. He isn't going to Kanada to get 'free/socialized' healthcare. He is going there to get medical treatment that he is paying for. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadySands Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yeah, it says right in the article it's a private hospital. I just thought it was amusing that he's leaving the country for treatment. Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smjjames Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Also, while I get that it's a private hospital, you gotta wonder why he is going to Canada (curse you volourn, spelling Canada with a K is temping me, lol) instead of a private hospital in the US, that's the irony of it I'm talking about because I'm betting that the private hospital is cheaper than ones in the US.

Amentep Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 whats with using different sounding letters in english anyway? K - Key, C - see Seenada? I think its borrowed from late Latin. "C" represents /k/ when before a, o, u and consonants. Should be soft "c" /s/ before e, i, y. Some variation exists due to borrowing from French (UK sceptic). K is then used to show a /k/ sound before e, i and y. K is usually used at the end of words (or ck) for /k/, with a few exceptions (like 'arc'). I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volourn Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Funny sad thing about the Kanadian 'drug smuggler' being killed is that he was originally convicted and sentenced to a harsh but not lethal 15 years. He appealed his conviction... and the new verdict came after China started crying about Kanada… and now instead of 15 years he gets the death penalty. Why is suddenly his crime worth death to the same country's justice system? LMAO Was their new evidence that made it worse? Nah... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Zoraptor Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Increasing sentences on appeal does happen, but it's obviously retaliation for the Huawei exec being detained. They even passive aggressively used near verbatim the same legalist ('respect the processes of our legal system please') statements Kanada used to Chinese criticism when they detained Meng. Not that I have much sympathy for Kanada there. US has regularly used its Iran sanctions to extort foreign banks, this time they've tried it on someone with clout. If Kanada didn't want to get blowback they shouldn't honour dubious and obviously politically motivated US warrants on people transiting their country and should stick to pissing off weaksauce like the Saudis instead. At least one of the Kanadians China have nabbed recently almost certainly is a spy as well (as is mr 4 passports who was nabbed in Russia, indeed he's about as obvious a disclaimable asset as you can get). It's not like the whole Huawei thing is even about having secure systems and whatnot, it's about making sure there are NSA backdoors built into everything instead. Theresa May didn't even get 1/3 support for her Brexit Agreement, losing by 230 votes. That's more than 100 of her own MPs voting against her. Bit better than predicted, but not in way that it matters. Tomorrow's no confident vote and next weeks new plan are bit more interesting, but if something miraculous don't happen to unite the parliament then UK will leave EU without any additional agreement. It was considerably worse for May than predicted as the worst analysis was around a -200 loss, and the worst defeat for a government in modern history. Not really 'better' for those who wanted to stay in Europe either as the Tories who crossed the floor are euroskeptics and won't vote for a second referendum or to stay which is what the remainers want. No confidence vote won't go through either as turkeys won't vote for an early christmas; the DUP already has what it wanted (no back door Irish union, as they saw it) as do the euroskeptics (what they saw as a 'soft' EU membership rather than withdrawal) so they'll vote for the government and that gives a majority. They'd need remain Tories to cross the floor which is highly unlikely as it would almost certainly end their careers.
