@madewithharsha @stats_feed Polar Bears do not live around Great Bear Lake, although AI tells me they've occasionally walked the 400 kilometres south of the ocean, where they do live.
I used to live up there

@stats_feed Largest lake fully inside Canada = Great Bear Lake (bigger than Belgium), and it's so remote it has polar bears swimming in it.

@_delvanathanael @stats_feed what do drainage patterns vs "where Canadians actually live" have to do with anything?
English

@stats_feed But the full truth? Over half of it drains north, away from where most Canadians actually live. And climate change is already stressing those systems.
The blessing is real. So is the responsibility to protect it. ๐ง

This would be a smart move on Trumpโs part if it is true.

Najam Ali@NajamAli2020
Trumpโs ultimatum about attacking Iranโs power grid isnโt really aimed at Iran. It is aimed at the Arab countries. He is trying to squeeze maximum concessions before exiting a war he has already lost: bases, financial leverage and whatever remains of U.S. influence. He knows very well that targeting Iranโs power grid is not a viable option. But the threat serves one purpose: to panic the Gulf and force compliance. It is the last minute invoice to the GCC : Trump cashing out before he quits.

@Kactus_Trails @ArmstrongEcon Is that what Daniel has been saying? ๐

@chenshijie2015 @huwaliyasuntob Like Cantonese to mandarin.
English

@huwaliyasuntob Across the world, English accents varyโbut not to the point of total mutual unintelligibility. Thatโs very different from Chinese, where regional dialects can diverge so much theyโre essentially like entirely different languages.

@angelohikebike @QuirkyForum They already are, a good chunk of our best and brightest have already left this liberal dumpster fire for other countries

THINKING ABOUT OUR FUTURE We were giants during WW2 and we will be giants again. Trade with the USA will drop from 75% to 50%, but it will be replace by increased trade with Asia and Europe. The economies of the future will need more energy and critical minerals. Canada has what the world needs. We will build oil and gas pipelines and ports, Canada is the undisputed global leader of the middle powers. The Canadian Arctic will be a modern day gold rush. Military and industrial spending will be coordinated, Our young people will have a great future.

English

@QuirkyForum and DON'T forget we were giants in WW1 when the Canadians invented modern warfare and then in the late 50's Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson came up with the concept of peacekeeping in it's modern form...

@TukiFromKL Saw a video of the former CEO of google warning something like this could happen
English

๐จ Do you understand what this man just pulled off..
> a guy from North Carolina used AI to generate hundreds of thousands of songs.. uploaded them to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon.. then botted billions of streams on his own tracks and walked away with $8 million
> 660,000 fake streams per day.. spread across thousands of AI songs so nobody noticed.. $1.2 million a year.. for music no human ever actually listened to
real artists are out here grinding for 0.003 cents per stream.. promoting on TikTok.. begging for playlist placements.. and this guy just had AI make the music AND the audience
first-ever criminal streaming fraud case.. he's paying back $8 million.. but the playbook is out there now.. and AI just got better since he started
the music industry spent 10 years fighting piracy.. now they have to fight songs that don't exist being listened to by people who don't exist.
FearBuck@FearedBuck
The first criminal case of streaming fraud where a North Carolina musician who used AI to make songs, then streamed them billions of times himself making $8 million

The US and Japan agreed today on price floors for critical minerals, including lithium.
reuters.com/business/energโฆ
"They did not identify which minerals would be โconsidered first for price โfloors, but the โ fact sheet listed 13 projects among those the governments intended to support, including ventures dealing with rare-earth recycling, nickel, gallium, #lithium and fluorite."

@RDog861 @ChrisO_wiki And politics make for strange bedfellowsโฆ sounds like a certain country just crapped in the bed
English

@ChrisO_wiki LOL, they're willing to take us on but unwilling to take on Iran? I'm not sure we need those kind of "Allies".
