I’m not a fan of any of these companies, by any means whatsoever, but this is not a good title for this graph. Climate change results when CO₂ is put into the atmosphere, not so much when petroleum is extracted from the ground. Oil companies definitely share a lot of the blame, but the buyers and users of their products are no less at fault. Saying that Shell or Chevron or whatever are responsible in proportion to their production is an oversimplification.
No one likes paying taxes, but I think that for most people who can afford to buy a home in this city, property tax is still significantly lower than provincial and federal taxes, and arguably you get more for your buck (the money is spent closer to home, by definition).
No, it’s not normal getting a fax in 2025.
Why she’s only credited by her first name: because she asked and Mike McMahan agreed even though he didn’t know why.
That’s actually interesting!

Brian Mulroney looks up at us from hell and smiles about the mess he caused.
It was a masterpiece. Definitely an outlier in its craziness, but there’s room for that in such a big franchise, and it will be missed!
At first, I really hated this show, and really just hate-watched the first season. But it grew on me and I think I thought of it as not-so-bad by the end of the season. But it kept improving, and I think it stands out as probably the best of certainly modern Trek.
This show was a rare combination of being funny and actually good sci-fi at the same time. It contrasted so much with another Star Trek show that ended this year where characters took themselves way too seriously, and every single day the fate of the whole universe depended on their one ship.
Nice. It’s going quite a bit uphill.
That’s what I thought, but where are the Silmarils though, did he just leave them home? I vaguely remember he never parted with them willingly, but I may be wrong.
Just saw the scatter plot and line and my mind immediately screamed “bullshit” without knowing what this was about at all. Only then I read the text.
Shame most of our streetcars don’t have dedicated lanes.
This press release is pretty crap, but there is more info here: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/worlds-oldest-alphabet-discovered/
That’s right, the TV show has practically nothing to do with the books other than some character and place names and the general idea of a declining emprire and its emerging remote colony.
The first two books are really great, but I feel the quality starts dropping at the third, but the series is pretty good as a whole (never got to reading Forward the Foundation though). Asimov’s writing is a bit cringe sometimes, especially about women and children (although there are some strong female characters).
Maiar is the plural
Freeze them! Frozen banana is even better than fresh in milkshake.
Sam also had the ring for a short time (longer than Déagol)
Gothmog was possibly not an orc 😜
Not sure this statement is true if “more closely related” is understood as shorter combined time between the two species from their most recent common ancestor. Hummingbirds and brachiosaurs had a more recent common ancestor than brachiosaurs and triceratopses (albeit probably still quite close to the dawn of dinosaurs in the Late Triassic ), but the latter pair lived closer in time to the common ancestor of all dinosaurs (while hummingbirds are from the Oligocene).
I’m so used to it I never realized it’s unusual.
