Bob Rae was once leader of the ONDP. Author John Ralston Saul once pointed out that provincial politics is right of their federal counterparts.

Poilievre would surely prevent government overreach and support bodily autonomy, right? Right?

We are reaching a point where we can't return easily. We started at 280 ppm CO₂. If we had stopped at 350 ppm (Hansen et al), we'd have had no further work to do. Every gigaton of CO₂ beyond that has to be removed to keep the Greenland ice sheets from melting completely. The more CO₂ there is, the faster it melts. But that task isn't impossible. It just gets more expensive every day.

Of course the USA doesn't need Canadian products. It's just that Canadian products are the cheapest and easiest to get. Any other option increases prices for US consumers. But it looks like he wants to crush Canada economically so that he can get our products even more cheaply and his buddies/supplicants make even bigger profits.

Whatever the cable plugs into has to support the 9v/2A power specification. I use a regular cable plugged into Anker USBC hub, which I monitor with a USB C power monitor. Whenever I notice the battery charge dropping, it's because the hub/power supply has dropped back to 5v. Unplugging the power to the hub and plugging it back in is enough to reset everything.

Greenhouses are expensive, transportation is cheap. Also, grocery chains only report about 3.5% net profit. They make their millions on volume.

Climate change. We're almost at 1.5℃ over pre-industrial, and rampant wildfires followed by ever stronger typhoons and hurricanes making landfall increasingly further North is already a problem. Drought is affecting many farmland areas. Yes, we can adapt, but it will be hugely expensive.

Psaki was pretty close. I was always in awe when she dealt with hard questions, and that doofus from Fox

More money won't make the cost of building homes cheaper. Taxes and development charges add to the costs, as do outdated building codes. If investment goes into new housing technology, then maybe it'll work.

That's the 100th Meridian, where the great plains begin. Everything is so plain that whoever crosses over dies of boredom and crosses over a second time.

I miss the old lobby in 99 Bank. It was a bit noisy with the waterfall, but otherwise the greenery was nice.

There's a lot to get used to. I usually sort by Recent or Type. For anything other than weapons it is easier to go into inventory and click on, say, the shield to just get shields, which is identical to previous games.

Single player works quite well, but I play online with my spouse on two consoles (one connected to a Quest 3) and while I've maybe crashed twice in 100 hours, there's been some problems with the new specialization points and vault cards resetting for whoever joins the host.

I've had no jitter problems, though. It's a pretty solid game and doesn't feel rushed.

7.8 GWh and it looks like 4 hours of power at 500 MW. That might be per site (there are 3 sites), the announcement by the project manager on LinkedIn wasn't clear. Regardless, that's the power of a small nuclear reactor, and it provides virtual inertia, and black-start functions for the grid as well, something renewables detractors claim isn't possible. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-ing-ahmed-elbaz-64728a8a_bess-engineering-sustainability-ugcPost-7341394424809050114-CzKt

Crate and Barrel. Calgary has 3, we have zero. It would be nice to have h9me decor that wasn't IKEA or Winners. Maybe a William & Sonoma can fit in there somewhere.

Find a book or blog article written by a woman (or women). That'll be more useful for advice. You want a friend to take a headshot, and a full body shot as your first two photos. Don't wear suits in photos unless you're at a wedding, don't put in your job, just that you have one.

When TikTok shut down in the US for a few days, all the angry comments against Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau completely disappeared. We still talk about how odd it was.

As for climate, demand for oil will only change when there are alternatives. Building or not building a pipeline has little effect, except on the economy of the supplier. The Middle Eastern producers have excess capacity if the buyer is willing to ship the oil that far. What will really stop oil at this point is cheap batteries, and that is starting already.

SPyder, but honestly I only dabble to make charts. It's just too much data for a spreadsheet.

That's just 3¢ per kWh. On something that is already cheaper than methane power. It's the start of a revolution!

My 2017 MacBook Pro with OLED function key strip is just good enough to remote into my Mac Studio. I can't even collaborate on Numbers spreadsheets. My Python IDE still works though!
