To be honest, I was hoping someone would link to the reference. Maybe the joke is how ridiculous this would be when spoken out loud vs. text

Maybe we can, if someone reached out? Depending on what other social media platforms he is using

Per capita as well but it varies by region, there is an interactive graph on the article

I hadn’t considered that this term is specific to some regions :)

Over here, I usually hear it when someone is referring to the few weeks at the start of a school year for elementary and high school kids. It’s right now for some parts of North America, or around late August / early September for others (ex. in my province in Canada) It’s often used for marketing and sales, but also in the context of child and educational psychology.

That’s fair, personally I enjoy them when I go with friends. I get a chance to catch up with friends and enjoy the atmosphere, then head somewhere else for lunch/dinner. I thought this one might be fun for the free performances / games, and if it’s terrible then there’s always the rest of Burnaby Central Park

We can do all of those things outside an event too, but making plans attached to events helps in some way

Here is the xcancel version: https://xcancel.com/i/status/1950981195208204387

I had an error uploading the video to catbox, but I can try somewhere else if the xcancel link doesn’t work

I saw a video about the bench ramps, and they mentioned something important that I didn’t consider: they help with accessibility to move between the high sidewalk and the lower level path.

In his letter Friday to Kosseim, Shamji said that nearly one-third of all home-care patients in the province had their data compromised.

I couldn’t find specifics, but maybe you’ll be contacted now if you were affected?

I missed the link somehow, I’ve edited the post now. It’s open source (GPLv3).

They started as a startup, then shut down and open-sourced the project, and now it looks like they’re pivoting to something else

Yup, I think the article is about making sure the healthcare side is accounted for when building, rather than not building

Major infrastructure projects contribute to both local and provincial economies. When managed well, the economic benefits of such projects can positively contribute to community health.

But when not managed properly, the pressures that major infrastructure projects place on local health-care services can be significant. Therefore, we strongly urge governments and businesses to consider their impacts on overburdened and hard-working health-care providers in rural and remote communities.

On site medical attention would help as well:

How well a project manages its health service impacts clearly matters. When project workers resided in well-managed camps supported by competent onsite medical service providers, the pressures on the local system were less than when workforces did not have adequate accommodation and health supports.

Agreements and rules are necessary so that one group doesn’t ruin it for everyone else. It also prevents (or at least reduces) conflict if everyone knows what the rules of the game are.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

A significant development in the governance of space resources has been the adoption Artemis Accords, which — as of June 2025 — has 55 signatory nations. The accords reflect a growing international consensus concerning the exploitation of space resources.

Considering the typically slow pace of multilateral negotiations, a handful of nations introduced national legislation. These laws govern the legality of space resource exploitation, allowing private companies to request licenses to conduct this type of activity.

To date, six nations have enacted this type of legislation: the United States in 2015, Luxembourg in 2017, the United Arab Emirates in 2019, Japan in 2021, Brazil in 2024 and most recently, Italy, which passed its law on June 11, 2025.

Among these, Luxembourg’s legal framework is the most complete. It provides a series of requirements to provide authorization for the exploitation of space resources. In fact, ispace’s licence to collect lunar regolith was obtained under this regime.

If you are referring to this paragraph:

These principles reaffirm the freedom of use and exploration of outer space for peaceful purposes, while introducing rules pertaining to the safety of the activities and their sustainability, as well as the protection of the environment, both of Earth and outer space.

Space junk is a growing issue, see Kessler Syndrome

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

The Kessler syndrome underscores the critical need for effective space traffic management and collision avoidance strategies to ensure the long-term viability of space exploration and utilization.

The Kessler syndrome is troublesome because of the domino effect and feedback runaway wherein impacts between objects of sizable mass spall off debris from the force of the collision. The fragments can then hit other objects, producing even more space debris: if a large enough collision or explosion were to occur, such as between a space station and a defunct satellite, or as the result of hostile actions in space, then the resulting debris cascade could make prospects for long-term viability of satellites in particular low Earth orbits extremely low

It’s a big enough concern that Kessler Syndrome is one of the potential solutions to the Fermi Paradox

Some astronomers have hypothesized Kessler syndrome as a possible or likely solution to the Fermi paradox, the lack of any sign of alien life in the universe. Any intelligent civilization which becomes spacefaring could eventually extinguish any safe orbits via Kessler syndrome, trapping itself within its home planet.

What do you mean? I don’t see what that has to do with this article

AI is American hoax to win over China.

What do you mean?

Learning about how AI works and what it is/isn’t good at, is a good thing? It will most likely make kids use generative AI less, and be careful about what they use it for

I learn so much about trees from this channel, it has a nice pacing / length

I’ll have to remember this one during the next storm

My bad, I didn’t proofread it

It’s fixed now, thank you!

I accidentally posted this twice, so I’m deleting this one. Feel free to copy your comment onto the other post:

Thanks!

Yea I don’t think I’m going to promote them again :/

Thanks!
