Nuclear Explosion for Carbon Sequestration 1 year ago
They are talking about one gigantic nuclear explosion (81 Gt). Why couldn't multiple smaller explosions achieve the same outcome?

These days B.C. seems to be preferred due to the colonial connotations of "British Columbia".

A study of sixteen people... Also this site is awful and wouldn't let me right click to copy the text.
Edit: Here's a link to the study from a better source. Also, this study unsurprisingly brought to you by the beef industry. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002231662... "This study was funded in part by The Beef Checkoff, Denver, USA,"
"There are complex reasons for our dire wildfires, but scientists say climate change plays key role" [0]
"Our forest management practices, they've been like this since about the '80s. So why is it we're seeing the bad fire seasons now? It's because the weather has gotten more extreme."

"Bill C-18 has become law and remains unworkable. The Government has not given us reason to believe that the regulatory process will be able to resolve structural issues with the legislation. As a result, we have informed the Government that we have made the difficult decision that when the law takes effect we will be removing links to Canadian news from our Search, News, and Discover products and will no longer be able to operate Google News Showcase in Canada. Read our blog and consult our FAQ to learn more."
There might be some other people out there like me with school age kids. I find that my kids schools and the various PAC (parents advisory committee) groups all use Facebook to communicate. So I have to be on there if want info and to be connected with other parents. I hate Facebook but for this purpose it is actually quite useful. Similarly, I am in a neighbourhood group and there is a certain amount of nimby/busybody type posts but it can also be great for knowing what is going on in the neighbourhood. The main page feed is all junk posts/ads but if I stick to these group pages it's useful.

Jackson’s water crisis: latest updates 4 years ago
OP has heavily editorialized the title. Actual title is "Jackson’s Water Crisis: The latest updates" and the article states that the Army corps of Engineers arrived sometime prior to Sept 2.

That Chinese WZ-8 looks just like the paper airplanes I made as a kid.
Cool but don't read all the way if you haven't done today's Wordle!
If the star is 120 million light-years away, does that mean this explosion actually happened 120 million years ago?
This would be more meaningful if it wasn't an advertisement for her substack.

Canadian and BC resident here. The Tyee is left-leaning but hardly "fringe". I would suggest they rely less on clickbait than many mainstream publications. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-tyee/
Air travel is good and we should want more of it 5 years ago
The author lowballs the emissions produced by air travel. He appears to only account for greenhouse gas emissions (1.9%) while ignoring total emissions which are 3.5% and growing each year.

UAE is a US ally and so they likely do not want to put a chill on their relations. "The United Arab Emirates has been described as the United States' best counter-terrorism ally in the Gulf by Richard A. Clarke, the U.S. national security advisor and counter-terrorism expert."

The idea that vegans are wealthy and white is simply false. Around the world it tends to be the poorest people who do not eat meat, and in the US most vegans are low income and more likely to be racialized peoples.

Despite all the hand-wringing in this thread, Canada has had anti-hate speech laws for some time now and our society has yet to collapse.

Mods - feel free to edit clumsy sounding title.
ex.fm is a music blog aggregator: http://ex.fm/about
more than that, it appears to just be a copy of ex.fm (http://ex.fm) - i can't see much of a difference
again, ex.fm has had this for some time: http://blog.ex.fm/post/24082043603/featured-feature-listenin...
it's more of a copy of ex.fm (http://ex.fm) than a slicker hype machine. ex.fm has been around a few years now too.
hey congrats on the hard work, but this really seems like a clone of ex.fm (http://ex.fm) and a remarkably similar clone at that - what is different about 2u.fm?
