Who knew cognitive dissonance could damage you physically as well as mentally and morally?

And, in an ironic twist, the best place in Canada for geothermal power generation is in Alberta, so it wouldn’t even change the political dynamics of Canada. We’d just be sending energy to the East via power cables rather than pipelines.

To be clear; the risks involved with nuclear power generation are low, but the stakes are immense.

It would cost less money to build state-of-the-art geothermal power generators, which not only have low risks, but the stakes are lower than doing nothing, which is the current government plan.

So… sorry if I’m misunderstanding this, as a foreigner (🇨🇦), but this is a cunt complaining that a cunt is replacing a cunt on your money?

They have the gall to say it; they have the stones to do it.

They have the gallstones.

“What can we learn from these massive mammals to help build resiliency as we age?”

Well, for one, that Wolverine was definitely named after the wrong species for a mutant with super-healing abilities.

I typically reply with, “I don’t know if it found me well; but well, it found me.”

We're getting REALLY close to the Nuremberg-Laws logic here: "Trans people are residents of the US, not citizens, because they do not deserve to be citizens".

Anyway, to appease my critics I'll note that it couldn't possibly happen in the US because democracy or "good people" or something.

Arctic sea ice hits lowest winter level as unprecedented heat hits smashes records all over Earth Arctic sea ice has shrunk to a tie for its lowest winter peak on record. Winter is when ice grows, but not as much as normal this year.

Vital Arctic sea ice shrank to tie its lowest measured level for the winter, the season when ice grows, as a warming Earth shattered records across the continents.

No worries. People with knife callouses on their dominant hands gotta stick together. ✌️

And a car goes vroom...
And a car goes vroom...
And a car goes vroom...
Gonna start _another_ war
Going riding in a car

Oh I'm going for a ride
Sitting on my cushy seat
Gonna mess the traffic up
Gonna make the libs all bleat
Gonna make the sirens wail
Gonna lie and start a war
Yes, I'm going for a ride
Going riding in muh car!

It’s prompted by the sheer number of assassination attempts worldwide of world leaders sitting in cars.

They’re especially larger in the US because you have so many more firearms, and fewer restrictions on owning those firearms, than anyone else.

It’s pretty logical, really.

It’s more or less standard. There’s also typically a few bikes trailing too.

But the Beast isn’t always in the middle of the motorcade. The other SUVs are designed to be indistinguishable from it so they can play “hide the joker” with the Beast so, while moving, any one of them could be the Beast.

My take:
1. It would be best if it went to overtime, because both teams have more regulation wins.
2. Once it’s into overtime, I’ll cheer for Boston, because I’m gaming with a BOS fan tomorrow afternoon and that way he won’t be cranky.

Elvis won’t face anyone in the playoffs, unless Jet is injured. Besides, we won’t see either team in the playoffs unless we get to the Eastern Finals, I think.

I don’t know who you think you are arguing with; but I think that this conversation might be more constructive if you re-read what I wrote.

It took them 30 years to build this machine. It won’t come down in one election cycle.

1. See the second paragraph there. “Key principles are not negotiable”.

2. You don’t compromise with the entire party; you selectively peel off one or two members of the party (never the same members) on individual issues that directly impact their district. This is how you break block voting.

Tom, my dude, as much as I respect the reach and resources of the Iranian covert operations folks, my money on who takes out the current occupant of the White House is, in order, a cheeseburger and melanoma. Tehran is *way* further down the list.

Included in this story is a discussion of how solar has been scaling. Assuming that continues into 2026, we'll be installing over 3 GW of solar daily. Ballparking the typical capacity factor, that's going to be the equivalent of about 5 nuclear reactors every week for the entire year.

And, of course, my favourite saying: “people who speak in maxims are often not right in the head”.

There is a maxim that “war is the last resort of the incompetent”. Which is true. Sadly, most people don’t also understand that it is also the first resort of the incompetent. Another appropriate maxim might be “fools rush in where angels fear to tread”.

2/2 and know where & when to compromise with likeminded senators on the other side of the aisle. That’s not really her bag, is it?

The problem with the current boss is that the leader also needs to project a spine of steel, that core values are not negotiable. And that’s not really his bag, is it?

Seniority and politics. But we all really knew that already, right?

I’ll offer a different perspective: some people are better suited to play the role of “attack dog” on specific issues (Sens. Warren & Sanders spring to mind). The leader needs to be able to unify the caucus 1/2
