I have a vegan colleague who would argue while laughing that it applies, although not on the way you thing. “Look at how humans treat each other, with cruelty, disdain, and little empathy. That is the humain/humane way we treat animals.”
After a major feeder water main break plunged Calgary’s water supply into a critical state, city officials are now asking Calgarians to use 25 per cent less than they did yesterday, sounding the alarm that the city is at risk of running out....
Could they use a crawler with visual inspection? It’s not as good as ultrasound because it will only see surface breaking stuff if it’s big enough… But it’s still better than no inspection at all, right?
I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers....
Yeah, I’m really out of my element talking about these abstract mathematical topics… I’m too much of an empirical scientist it seems!
Give me a set and I’ll find a way to measure it! …actually I’d like to know what’s the mathematical definition of measurement, there’s probably a trick there… 🤔
Well that’s interesting: in order to define unmeasurable sets, you relied on the axiom of choice… I suppose it might be possible to define unmeasurable sets without AC, but maybe not!
Every time I encounter the axiom of choice implying a bunch of crazy stuff, it always loop back to requiring AC. It’s like a bunch of evidence against AC!
I find it interesting that the basic description of AC sounds very plausible, but I’m still convinced mathematicians might have made the wrong choice… (See what i did there? 😄)

REMEMBER BREXIT? That time a Conservative Party directed widespread voter frustration at a single easy scapegoat, smothered the public with misinformation, and were rewarded with their biggest electoral victory in decades? Something similar is happening today in Canada....
“brain drain” is always used by right wing and liberalists as an excuse to reduce tax. The only people that really “drains” are the greedy crooks. Calling it “brain drain” just shows what they think of themselves…
University professors, engineers, and doctors (those who are not crooks) will not leave, they have roots at home and will not leave.
Canada bet heavily on hydro as a means of cleaning up its carbon footprint; it is the third-largest hydroelectricity producer in the world. But with the climate becoming markedly drier in recent years, Canada’s utilities are now investing hundreds of billions of dollars to diversify their grids, in some cases leaning on power...
Not a doctor, i spent 7 years on post secondary education and i barely raked in a 5 figure student debt to pay off at ultra low interest.
I had a friend studying to become a doctor. Because of that, banks allowed him to take on huge debts and he bought a brand new fully equipped wrangler. No wonder doctors have 6 figures debt if that’s what banks allow them to take… I knew someone else in dentistry who bought a BMW.
Knowing that will make money, they take on more debt. Then they ask to raise salaries… It’s a system that attracts greedy people, the type that will move out of their home country just to make now money.
For me, it would take about 4 times my current salary to move away, because all my family and friends are here.
In fact Alberta researchers have recommended a tougher traffic light system for geothermal projects than the one currently regulating fracking. It would trigger a major evaluation of operations when 1.5 magnitudes occur and shut down the operation at 3.5 magnitude with the goal of keeping all tremors at low magnitude.
When it’s not oil-related, regulations are tougher?
Framing it as an environmental problem always implicitly assumed that people understood we need a good environment to be healthy…
People complain about bonfire restrictions in my city, but when I show my air quality sensor data and the effect it has on breathing and sports performance, they tend to be more open minded.
The council also found that he had violated ethics rules by changing the date of a neighbour’s court appearance for a traffic ticket so he could hear the case — and acquit her — before he retired.
To me that’s the more important issue… It can be hard to measure time accurately, but there’s no excuse for twisting the system to prevent your friend from facing justice!

On April 8, 2024, a spectacular and rare celestial event is set to unfold over Canada, the United States and Mexico – a total solar eclipse. As the Moon aligns perfectly between Earth and the Sun, temporary darkness will sweep across parts of the country, captivating countless spectators.
Here’s a couple of differences: With totality, the stars become visible again. The darkness is such that air temperature drops like at sunset. Birds stop signing, and insects start chirping. Also, i think you can see the sun’s corona. While the sun is totally blocked, you can look at it with naked eyes.
I’m not sure how much of this occurs with a 95% eclipse… I would encourage anyone to go to the nearest place to see totality. I will personally visit family living 2 hours drive away to be in the totality zone.
I have not seen a total one since i was a small kid, so I can’t really say… Totality will have these things last longer, but I’m sure there is no clear-cut difference.
A new report found that men working in the private sector make almost 10 per cent more per hour than women on average, compared with five per cent in the public sector.
These reports tend to focus on measuring the outcome, because that’s the measurable KPI.
It leaves as an exercise to the reader to guess the cause, and your comment shows exactly what i believed for years. “There is an inequality of outcome because people typically act differently”.
I now realize that the gender pay gap is just the outcome of bias in the workplace… Whether conscious or inconscious. We must recognize them and actively try to counteract their effects of we want to reduce the gender pay gap. Something often criticized as “reversed sexism”.
President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night....
Here we go again… The web, which is what most people think about when saying “internet”, is an European invention.
So the low level stuff is American, but higher level stuff is European. But then again, were could claim that “web 2.0” was invented by American companies.
Bunyan sounds the same as some old French Canadian swear word, but is written differently. I think the real spelling would be something like “bon yenne”, and also resembles a French Canadian folklore named “Bon Jean”.
More than 15 per cent of immigrants decide to leave Canada either to return to their homeland or immigrate to another country within 20 years of their arrival, according to a new study.
We had bus drivers protests. They were not allowed to strike because “essential service”, so instead they publicly announced that they would “forget” to check people’s tickets.
Effectively they gathered people’s sympathy while distributing profits. That was effective!
