Airborne Early Warning and Control is a specific type of thing, so an AEW aircraft is a particular type of aircraft.

I’m extremely skeptical of the whole thing, but I’m trying to learn more. The article you shared says:

Many geologists (myself included) believe there are places on Earth where long-term CO2 storage could be safely achieved, but it would require what scientists call “site characterization.” That means studying the location in enough detail to be confident that things put there will stay there. For example, the U.S. currently stores military radioactive waste in low-permeability salt formations in New Mexico, and there are numerous pending proposals to store CO2 in sandstones overlain by low-permeability shales in North Dakota.

Okay, so the CBC article seems to suggest that the site in question has been studied.

At the storage hub, the gas would be injected deep underground in the Basal Cambrian Sandstone formation, which sits one to two kilometres below the surface. The sponge-like sandstone has spaces that can be filled with CO2.

Above that formation is thick, non-porous rock salt that can act as a barrier to keep the carbon dioxide in the ground.

I have no idea whether it’s been studied sufficiently, but the author of the article you shared seems to think it can be effective if that step is taken.

And I think even the most optimistic proponents of carbon storage argue that it’s a means of mitigating the effects of heavy industry, not of making a meaningful difference in other ways. But they seem to think those mitigating effects can be important, and maybe even necessary?

Saab had bundled its surveillance aircraft proposal in with its pitch to sell Gripen-E fighter jets to Canada and promised to transfer technology so both aircraft could be fully manufactured locally. Carney did not say anything about whether Canada will proceed with the Gripen and limit its purchase of American-made F-35 jets.

Sounds like he’s vacating his seat entirely.

It’s not exactly what you’re describing, but I have an absolutely miserable time with the generic, one-word titles that seemed so prevalent in the '90s in particular.

“Vortex”

“Whispers”

“Emanations”

“Resolutions”

“Anomaly”

And on and on and on…

I’d definitely love to see some grants or other assistance to get people building their own capacity.

Sure, but this article is about the lack of utility-scale solar capacity (read: large solar plants), not small-scale, individual efforts.

That seems to be the same conclusion that MB Hydro has reached, as well.

I’m a little surprised that there hasn’t (as far as I know) been any talk about arming the coast guard - the way things are headed, it seems a little inevitable.

Claiming Canada was founded on the principle of strong provinces, Ms. Smith said, “Canada is very different from the United States and many other Western democracies. For example, the U.S. centralizes the majority of power and decision-making in its federal government. In Canada, we chose a decentralized federation composed of very unique and diverse provinces left to govern themselves in almost all matters with the main exceptions of national defence and international affairs.”

Absolutely unhinged.

That wasn’t my take - collectibility is a pretty core component of CCGs, but that can be accomplished easily with basic probability tables, without any blockchain bullshit.

My biggest concern is what they’re going to do to monetize it - this sort of game is pretty prone to exploitation.

Something like the Marvel Snap model could be pretty good, though.

I’ve heard nothing but good things, and should really catch up.

I did a bit of a double-take here:

The Swiss-made, turbo-prop CT-157 Siskin II has been chosen to replace the Snowbird squadron. The planes are already on order and are being delivered for use as the air force’s initial pilot training aircraft.

Sure enough, these are not jet aircraft.

The truth could be somewhere in the middle - no real intent, but instead just reworking an idea from the Discarded Ideas Drawer into something new.

That info is out there for sure, but I’ve always found it pretty shaky. Here’s what Memory Alpha has to say on the subject:

The Star Trek Chronology, 2nd ed., p. 290 noted: “Although Picard and company were successful in eradicating them, the parasites did send a mysterious radio signal, presumably to others of their kind. At the time the episode was written, this was apparently intended to lead to the introduction of the Borg in Star Trek: The Next Generation’s second season. The Borg connection was dropped before “Q Who” (TNG) was written, and the truth about the parasites remains a mystery.”

The “apparently” always trips me up, but maybe there’s a more definitive statement or there that I haven’t seen.

It certainly could be true.

Somewhat ironically, this was apparently the lowest-rated episode of SNL UK.

Look, all we want is a zany time travel adventure where all bets are off, but is also completely consistent with decades of previous stories, and feels new and fresh while also seeming exactly the same as it always has been.

It’s no “get a life” moment, but I think it’s pretty funny.

I think it’s perfectly understandable to at least attempt to rein in an increasingly rogue province by making a mutually acceptable deal. I don’t believe it will help, or at least not much, but I can understand the attempt.

The lesson is obvious to provinces: dont follow federal laws you dont agree with.

That said, I can’t really disagree with this point.

Ultimately, the proposed pipeline still seems to be contingent on finding a private entity that thinks it’s a good investment, and I’m not at all convinced that that will ever happen. We’ll see.
