Right amount of onion, paprika and garlic will sort it out. That kind sorta makes sense if you're boar hunting and you just manage to get a Boar. In North America, the the pigs practically pave the dirt roads. A score or more of Pigs is easy to net in many hunts. One could probably just leave the boar's for dog food and still have more meat than one can reasonably store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a regional meat-packing company that makes a pork/venison sausage that I use quite a bit, particularly for my Tex-Mex stew. Milder flavor than Andouille, but still flavorful.

Colin Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 So lets retire most of our fixed wing SAR assets and then discover the replacement kind of sucks and won't be ready till........ https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/technical-issues-behind-delays-affecting-canadas-new-search-and-rescue-planes/wcm/f702ba97-060c-483e-8548-3d72a9c11ebc/amp/?fbclid=IwAR3nSb22DhyICy9blVkWLk6fmuueZ8UccrIrva6mmfTxaG-MZ-sewhSubnE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmgill Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 How so? Inability to go low and slow? The proposed amphibian version of C-130 would possibly be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivanhoe Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 If it doesn't have a fold-out salmon grill, what's the point? On a serious note, the C-295 looks like a serviceable replacement for the Buffalo (not as good short-field performance, it appears), but an old airframe with new panel. New wine in old bottles. Just about everything DeHavilland produced after WWIi was pure gold, from Otters up through Buffaloes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Looks like mission-specific software integration is the problem. Maybe things like plotting/commanding optimised search patterns, like those weird triangular pattersn based on beacon drift rates and such. If you add "must not compromise existing avionics software safety" to "integrated" and "complex concepts not within the normal knowledge base of the developers" you get... Search patterns like this.

It seems the interior is the wrong shape and size to properly fit the SAR techs' equipment that fit in the old Buff. The Leonardo C-27 Spartan, on the other hand, was the aircraft the RCAF originally wanted and could fit everything fine.

Colin Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Yea it sucks for SAR techs that are tall, because like strong, fit athletic paratrooper are never tall.... Also the CoG thing and being able to jump from the ramp, those should have disqualified it from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucklucky Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Probably Quebec interfered to give the French(Airbus) over the Italians that had the most adequate aircraft, yes the C-27J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the clarifying Ottawa link. But look at why this action was taken. A student refuses to believe the lie of transgenderism.

The question is whether dissent on this issue is worthy of disciplinary action. Unless, as I said, the protests were more dispruptive or violent than the article suggests, this was an overreaction.

Disagree if you think so, but there are only two genders. Anyone who states there are not is a liar and anyone who believes this lie is a fool.

Sardaukar Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Biologically there are only 2 genders. Apart from some genetic mishaps. Thus, the extra genders are mental, not biological issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, the extra genders are mental, not biological issues. Sex is the biological part defined by chromasomes and genetalia and most people are either male or female with a few being intersex. Gender is identity and while the vast majority of poeple identify their biological sex as their gender, others do not. Hence the people who identify as trans or non-binary. You can say trans etc. shouldn't be so, that there are issues that need to be addressed, like washrooms and athletics, that it's a moral failing or a mental illness, and those are opinions that can be defended or attacked, but saying there's no such thing just flies in the face of reality.

rmgill Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The splitting of gender from sex was a semantic shift. The fact it's snow balled into men competing as women in sports, male sexual predators being put into women's prisons, and other various aspects (children being mutilated on a lark) is beyond the pale.
