I have to admit, as a Canadian living IN the USA... the genuine American flag, waving in the wind in a grocery store parking lot or in front of a public library, that really is a damn good looking flag.

Hey, you know what else is ugly? Telling another sovereign country, theoretically your best friend, that from now on you will get to hold final approval of their trade deals with other countries. Shrug emoji, middle finger emoji, right-facing kiss emoji, teacup.

No, this is wrong. Swap the beaver for a goose, ashamed it was fooled again into bothering to show up, and put an axe in Trump's hand, then you'd be closer. Canada did not chew up the talks, America made a set of last-minute demands as a poison pill to ensure it would fail.

I think a few muddy bootprints on the glossy black of the overhang would get the message across without committing permanent damage.

I'm sure we will soon learn that the preferred method of these violent safety-hating criminals is to leave their cellphones and other connected/wireless devices in their cars, which they leave parked some distance away and approach the camera on foot. Only an antisocial hooligan would ever be more than 18" from their cellphone, after all.

It's gonna suck when crops fail due to poor weather forecasting, murdering shittons more in ways even harder to count.

Ours offered to upsell us $120 necklace pendants with our loved one's thumbprint, which they'd taken a mold of without our consent. They were shocked when I expressed disgust.

"I like golf, itself, but the juice isn't worth the squeeze" - This, exactly. Would I enjoy a day golfing? Sure. Would that land be better used for growing wheat, or housing, or solar panels, or a factory making dishwashers, or almost literally anything other than golf? Well, yeah.

Oh, I don't doubt that they will use the gloves that way. My point is, they were already murdering people in broad daylight, already releasing the bodycam footage, already claiming there was violent resistance where there was none, and already arguing the officers did nothing wrong. The gloves won't let them get away with it, they already get away with it.

Sure, @op, they can do whatever they want with these gloves. But in Minneapolis we know they can do whatever they want with ANYTHING, without consequences. So the glove doesn’t change much.

I want so much to make a victory garden, but I know I can't physically handle the upkeep and it'd just end up a weedy mess. I'm giving a lot of though to a modest setup for hydroponic vegetables, though.

Yeah. I think the company will. And I think we need to be ready to back up the workers when that happens and plan to not let the company get away with it, because this is the right thing to do. Does that make me a "concern troll?" Did you think I was saying we shouldn't?

Believe in whatever deity you want, believe nothing, believe there could be something but you can never know what, believe there's nothing but the structure is good for you, IDGAF. Just do it privately. It's your business, don't make it my business. OUR business is working together so let's get on with it.

I hope the city has some job openings earmarked for the drivers in this ad who are about to be let go for what ever definitely justified reason is certainly not a cover for retaliation against these workers.

@op You added an edit to say "hearing aids have Bluetooth capabilities." While there certainly are SOME high end models with bluetooth audio (I think @mistersavage demonstrated one; I cannot afford one), most do not, and many advertising a bluetooth connection can only use it as a way to change settings in an app, they do not have an audio link. This is not to defend Blanche, only to caution you may not be seeing what you think. Can you identify THIS device? Attack with proof, not guessing.

I worked air traffic in Castlegar and I knew that every time the air tankers started their engines on my ramp, it meant there were guys like you on the ground. I wish you good luck, a quick successful battle, and a safe return home for every crew.

For 12,000 years farmers tried everything from sticking a wet finger up to reading animal entrails to stretching a plucked hair between weights in an attempt to get some clue of what weather might be coming. When I was a kid, "weather forecasts are always wrong" was a fallback joke for bad comedians. Now we have forecasts accurate to the hour from three days out, with reliable trends seen two weeks away. You have NO IDEA how important NWS & NOAA are, and they are enabled by NASA.

I identify closer to the couple on the right, where the wife and husband appear to actually want to be near each other.

Or, don't strip so much wire, so it stays under the screw head. Or, in this case, don't care, because it's a bus bar and if it touches the screw next to it there is absolutely no difference.

Ah, well I guess what Israel's doing now is just fine then, nevermind.

"Lina, do the trick!"
"That went well, it's good" (like, Come on in, the water's fine)
"Some problems climbing out"
and I can't make out what's said during the applause.

CORRECTION: Cargo trucks drive about 330 *billion* miles per year. Made a typo in the text, the math remains correct.

Carbon capture is the idea that landfills worked so great as a permanent solution for dealing with our garbage forever, we should try it with gases, too.

The power used last year in US datacenters could have replaced about 35% of all miles driven in this country, or 40% of the light vehicle miles.

Datacenters consumed about 280 TWh (280 billion kWh, 7% of THE ENTIRE GRID PRODUCTION!). A full sized car type EV - say, Kia EV6 wagon - gets around 4 miles per kWh. Datacenter power could have fueled about 1.12 trillion miles of driving. US drivers put down about 3.2 trillion miles per year, minus 330 million miles for heavy trucks.

I miss the light steady cool rain that lasts a straight week in Vancouver, starting two days before your long weekend camping trip.

Wow, an "I will not live in the pods I will not eat the bugs" reference in 2026.
