Gas stoves emit methane, nitrogen dioxide and fine particulates at levels known to contribute to asthma and cardiovascular disease.

🧪 NEW STUDY: The annual indoor health cost of a single gas stove = $5,258

A big part this is from childhood asthma.

As CAHN says, CBC verified the 18 and added two more. The 18 had already been found. The CBC added to the total. They still did the work to verify the other 18. As for resources, you know the CBC also has children's shows, science, books, Ingenous music, French, English, & 7 Indigenous languages..

Got our COVID jab this afternoon. It was painless so I complimented the pharmacist by saying “Nice job.” Quick as a whip she replied “I play darts.” My wife and I both cracked up.

I have to admit, there's an anger building here.

When humans make errors in their profession, it's an excuse to get rid of them.

When software systems make errors, it's an excuse to throw ever more money at them and replace humans with them anyway.
If I start making a large number of errors, can I be valued at $5 billion too?

I just want to understand what we value now. And it appears to be errors and bullshit. If that's the case, I want in!!!

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

This sounds like an invitation.
"The government is a big believer in working with Parliament—listening, getting ideas. We don't think we have a monopoly on all the good ideas," says PM Carney when asked if his minority govt is open to concessions with NDP and Greens in order to pass federal budget.

So, revisit the decision, why is the friction point being introduced?

"Well, if we allow customers to scan their own coupons, they'll scan coupons to cheat the system."

Why is that?

"Because we don't have cashiers verifying coupons anymore."

Oh. So you created the problem you need to solve?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.
