Unfortunately Canadians and our government seem slow to catch on the monumental generational opportunity this affords us in our own institution building, I am concerned this chance will pass us by.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. -

Honestly… I thought that the Christian Rapture was a religious concept going back to the very beginning of the religion.It’s like 90% of what is presented as ‘traditional’ ‘biblical’ christianity: invented and solidified in the last century or so.

I've been critical of the way the @verge has been covering the development of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot.I’ve been really impressed by the way they’ve charted their courses since HP, the choices they’ve made and things they’ve said must stick so in her craw

Following on from the “raw milk” trend, I wonder if any other inadvisable things from the past will catch on.People do all kinds of wild things, do you know the story of the “Blue man”?

A magpie story: two years ago in June, a wind storm blew a fledgling magpie out of the nest at the top of the neighbour’s towering blue spruce.A magpie story: two years ago in June, a wind storm blew a fledgling magpie out of the nest at the top of the neighbour’s towering blue spruce. Most of its siblings were able to flutter to a new roost, but this runt was left behind in our yard with an injured leg and not yet able to fly. It was a perilous week that included hazing from unrelated adult magpies, hiding from the other neighbour’s cat, the local coyotes, and crows.

Hey Fedifolk!Hey Fedifolk!
Anyone in my circles in Alberta have experience with Nova Renewables for solar installations? Good, Bad, Ugly?
I have an excellent roof in Edmonton, they are based in Calgary, it might be early days for us, or not if the terms are right I guess.
If you are in the area and have recently done solar, any tips? Surprises, things you wouldn’t have thought about, general satisfaction?

Truthpaste!Yes. All you need is an abrasive for scrubbing, and fluoride for enamel hardening. People used to just use baking soda for the abrasive before the benefit of flouride was known. Although I’m quite happy to pay someone to make something more pleasant to use than baking soda or chalk.

Truthpaste!Historically regular tooth brushing has two periods of dramatic increase: one was postwar when returning soldiers brought the habit home with them (they were required to brush to reduce the need for dental care), and the other was after mint was added to toothpaste. The ‘minty clean’ taste is rewarding, even if it actually means nothing in and of itself.
