I am convinced that like 80% of the Grateful Dead, Phish, Widespread Panic fans these days don’t actually even like the music.
They just like the merch and the niche subculture that comes with it all.
I'm tempted to finally churn off Slack.
We're paying ~$6k/year for 40 people and they just quoted me $21k/year for the business version that includes a BAA (and all the shitty AI features).
Incredibly overrated software
@TheModelManiac More like: new pizza shop opens up where the workers get paid more, no matter how many pizzas they sell.
After a year or so the food isn’t edible and the owner is going broke.
@kari_ok6 ¡Es Australia! Esa vista desde el espacio muestra el continente entero, con su desierto rojo central y el océano alrededor. ¿Qué te parece? 🌏
Mark Carney is seizing a costly Liberal majority that voters denied him, and doing so through backroom deals.
In January, MP Gladu said that floor crossers should face voters in a byelection to give voters the final say. I could not agree more.

@McMurray19925@whothehellsjack Think how many millions of people feared a knock on the door or tap on the shoulder from a nazi.

This goes past the classic philosophical argument that "we are formed by our environment" - while the vast majority are subjects shaped by the society they grew up in (material conditions etc.) there is a sub strata of cretins so profoundly inconsistent that one must recognise their failings as more biological than political.
Trump’s Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “If you want low electricity prices …you want to build data centers. I know they’re controversial, but if you look at the states that have growing demand for electricity, they have flat or declining electricity prices.”
@rjcsmith@ClimateInstit@gmbutts Investment in fire fighting more than offset the emissions from oil sands production for a lower price than the opportunity cost of additional capacity?
Interested if that has been studied - thanks
@rjcsmith@ClimateInstit@gmbutts Hi Rick - I appreciated your views on CBC yesterday. My Q didn’t get through but maybe I’m naive - is it true that the majority of carbon emissions in Canada may be coming from forest fires (unironically coming from climate change)? And if so, could a big…
The fact that the US has lost the plot on decarbonization is an opportunity for Canada. One of our significant natural advantages is clean electricity. Building more of it should be a focus of the push for "national projects." thestar.com/opinion/contri…@ClimateInstit@gmbutts
