The problem is “we” don’t know who “we” are any more. The American space program, NASA, the European space program, the Chinese and the Ruskies... The problem is exactly in how “we” think about ourselves in terms of our obligation to and involvement in space exploration.

Lucky!

Everybody loves their own brand.

It’s hard to say. if you want to start a fight between geologists you can a) ask them about the rate of continental Crust development, or b) tell them the beer’s running out.

but where is the gif party, its nearly 10am?

Didn’t the moon result from a collision with a Mars-sized planet at some point? And isn’t the centre of mass for the Earth-Moon system still within Earth’s surface whereas with Pluto-Charon it’s outside the surface of Pluto?

I’ve read it before the suggestion that the Earth is too small to have truly gravitationally captured our Moon, but that rather than the Moon orbiting the Earth, the Earth and Moon orbit the Sun together.

as solar and wind energy systems expand much of the power could be had for nearly free - the key advantage to warehouse farming is multiple harvests

it’s a matter of regulations and legislation - Big Agra will fight their growth to maintain market share and profits when society benefits by having farming done locally and on a more local-needs scale thus it needs to be incentivized with tax-breaks, streamlined regulatory schemes and protections against Big Agra…

Love to see that calculation done showing the amount government subsidies affect the size of the farm. As I understand it, subsidies disproportionally flow to the largest farms.

Outlook still doesn’t support CalDAV and it seems not even an Outlook.com calendar only Exchange so its usless because it won’t sync with anything especially iCloud contacts and Calendar. Its just a mail client that is only useful locally

Im in Castlegar, but u got pretty close :) Thats one other good thing to come from this burn. Our pine beetle problem can only be delt with two ways - Burn em or freeze em. The freeze is really hard to do tho. I think we need 3 solid weeks at -30 to kill them with cold. Tossing a match was a lot easier than making all…

The smoke in Toronto is from northern Saskatchewan, not from the BC fires. Different smoke.

Yep. On a scale of 1 to Beijing, today is a 6 here in Vancouver. I want some rain!!!

But no one cares about the fly-over provinces. Only Vancouver and Toronto matter, sometimes Montreal.

It’s been like that for weeks in Saskatchewan now - we’ve got more hat 120 fires right now, 13,000 people have been evacuated, the army is now on the ground to try to help firefighters from across the country.

13,000 evacuees in Sask and something like 700k hectares burned. It’s pretty crazy.

The wildfires in the NWT, northern Saskatchewan and northern Manitoba are also blasting a huge plume of smoke along the jet stream as well.
