Very sad. I drive through there (1 block west of 41st and Knight) often. Hopefully the citywide speedlimit reduction on residential streets can help this city implement needed changes to physical infrastructure and traffic law enforcement.

Rage Against the Machine?

Canadians should mail letters, ring them up, fax them if they can, to let them know that any reasonable person would consider this goal post shifting a complete abdication of their responsibilities.

Everyone likes to believe they’re thinking independently.

Can you elaborate on that claim?

I exercise some critical analysis, but for the most part I just have trust in human ambition. For example: the reason I believe human CO2 emissions are driving climate change is not because I’ve looked at the evidence and evaluated it for myself.

The reason I believe that human CO2 emissions are driving climate change is: that seems to be the consensus of people that have worked hard to impartially develop expertise and gather data to understand climate science.

There are two important systems at play

1: Scientific research, which harnesses human ambition by rewarding impartial research and discoveries which overturn old assumptions/paradigms.

2: Journalism, which harnesses human ambition by rewarding impartial reporting on various fields of human interest. (Reporting is why it seems to be the consensus of the scientific community)

The impartiality of these systems is (has always been) under assault by capitalism (which also derives its power by harnessing human ambition) and so one must, to an increasing degree, evaluate the appropriate level of personal mental effort to allocate to identifying biases in the reporting.

we’ll do everything we can to make sure approvals happen quickly… …and routinely

So you’ll do nothing because that would change the routine?

Presumably anybody that does this gets their code integrated into the training data right?

Just to spell it out for people: myriad means 10,000 but has been used as a stand in for “huge variety” for so long that people don’t know that anymore.

I’m basically a secular humanist, and I’ve heard the statement that Catholics aren’t Christians, in person, a few times. The two times that come to mind were from very different people (a Chinese Christian that lives in Beijing, and a Canadian Christian that lives on an apple orchard in southern Ontario). Both of whom were coworkers I spent some time with while travelling for work (different jobs, about 10 years apart).

I’ve always shut it down as a wildly offensive thing to say, and not worthy of discussing. So I’ve never gotten a real explantion for why some Christians believe it. Is it a common opinion?

Glee?

Suspend the site’s permit until the organization shows that it takes its obligations seriously.

I 100% agree they should be flipped. Also, Don Draper was lying when he said that, so it’s like doubly apt. Canada feels bad for the US but also is living in their shadow. The USA does think of Canada and has an irrational need to put us down.

The violence is shocking and unacceptable. It’s totally possible islamophobia caused the situation to escalate to violence so dramatically. I hope it gets considered at trial.

My guess is that they were sized to fit over extra thick foot wraps.

It’s times like these you lose your appetite. It’s times like these you and the baker fight.

Lift up your hearts! All will come right. Out of the depths of sorrow and of sacrifice shall be born again the glory of mankind.

We cannot yet see how deliverance will come, or when it will come, but nothing is more certain that every trace ofHitlers’s bootstep every stain of his corrupt and corroding finger will be scrubbed and purged and of need be, BLASTED, from the surface of the Earth.

Maybe beaver teeth go from orange to brown when they die due to further iron oxidation

Interesting video, thanks for tabulating the data

I’m surprised he is measuring with the fan so close to the ground, with the electronics obstructing the fan downwash, with the anemometer so close to the fan, with the anemometer so close to the edge of the fan, and with the anemometer so irrepeatably placed…

I don’t think he has accurately measured the efficiency of the induction motor (no load -> stock blades @ 1 m/s is a power change of 10.5 induction and 19.3 for bldc). He is pretty casual in his dismissal of the cost premium of bldc motors too.

Two other options would be:

A. End of the Molotov/Ribbentrop pact (any war with Russia is technically transcontinental)

B. British sinking of the Vichy fleet (happened in a lot of places right?)

Or paradigm adjustments to the two you suggested:

A. France/Britain declaring war in response to German invasion of Poland (committing their global empires to the conflict)

B. Japanese campaign in Malaysia and Indonesia adding that theatre to Japan's war and putting them at war with.... Ummm other empires.... I think British and dutch?

Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.

In Canada we passed a regulation that social media sites have to pay our media companies to link to their articles. Google is paying up, but Facebook said no, and has banned news. It has made Facebook here much less terrible.
