2018 AAAS study: actual carbon emissions from Alberta oil sands exceeded what the industry was self-reporting by 19x to over 63x.
This study: actual methane emissions up to 7x what was self-reported.
Oil & gas producers are simply making up numbers.

The Martian... Mark Watney - cheerful, optimistic problem solver when the appropriate emotion is suicidal despair. Except for 20 seconds, after the Hab explodes, and his odds of surviving are reset to ~zero. Fast recovery back to cheerful, optimistic problem solver. A role model for 2025.

The objective of Trump and his supporters is cruelty. It's their drug of choice. The object of cruelty is cruelty.

Yes! It could have been much worse if the zealots on the right were at all cunning or subtle, instead of the rage of an offended toddler.

In the 90s/00s, US digital telephone switches regularly achieved 99.99999% (7 9s) availability - an avg downtime of 3sec per year. Worked thru hurricanes, fires earthquakes... upgrades(!). In 2025 - the design+test $s and FCC oversight that achieved this discarded... in favor of Q profit /bonuses.

Miasma theory is like flat earth theory - proved wrong centuries ago, no longer a theory. This media approach of 2-sides-satisfies-more-listeners costs lives

The enforcement jobs in law - like hockey - attracts aggressive, must-win males. They may be 10%, but by character they dominate their colleagues. Constraining them thru rules alone is unlikely. 50% female can help.

Yes! How do you get 40% of voters to realize that government is not a reality show... the guys that break all the chairs, and heads, are not who you want for leaders. Sadly, this leadership ~worked when we stopped evolving.

Great interview+initiative. PG is a reach-exceeds-grasp guy 👍... hopefully city staff can do their part. Lots of brownfield sites opportunities.

Roofs! In 2010, Energy Sec Chu encouraged 'paint your roof white' for a major reduction in a/c energy, per house and globally. Many animals can change color - metachrosis. Give me m-c roof shingles!

Pretty sure this is part of a coordinated plot by global AI
- distract us by inserting chaos, with occasional humor, into everyday life via LLM chatbots,..
- meanwhile, master post-human Artificial Super Intelligence to create Skynet, or the mRNA ≡

How has this happened so fast? Constitutional guardrails, independent judiciary and institutions, superior investigative reporting - a house of cards?

But he 💯 intended to take drugs, and he 💯 knew that these would put him in a state where he was unable to stop himself from criminal behavior. Knowingly & voluntarily putting yourself in such a state...

NAVCanada... safer, cheaper (funded by airports, not taxpayers). The FAA claims to be more hi-tech... is this a travellers objective?

It would be interesting to know how many who support 'this policy' actually support a more general policy of 'do something mean to the other group'

We hear about the hallucinations that were caught (thx to taxpayer $). What's happening when they're not? Will the AI pay damages? Does legal insurance cover hallucinations?

Yes, empathy... but as AP said on TVO, also leadership - which DF is not showing. Vaccine science is tough - like much of 21C living. Sometimes, being told the right thing to do - by your leader, guided by experts - is what people are looking for.

💯! Show to the world that Canada looks forward... build state-of-Canadian-art 21C houses for our 21C leaders.. as well as a 21C economy. Ready for our next PM.

Good that Albertans get a chance to hear from their future leaders... the promoters of Ms Smith's totally rational, entirely feasible concept of sovereignty.

Problem: the 40% who support Trump don't read The Atlantic. Need to get what's happening on The Enquirer, etc.
