I did go drive out to Bortle 2 skies with my family and it was INCREDIBLE (thanks for encouragement, fediverse).

The only light coming from stars, totally silent except for coyotes, owls, and I think maybe whooping cranes (!!) flying over. Barely any auroras […]

A view of the Milky Way, straight overhead. There is clear structure visible in the dust bands through the cloudy-looking stars. There are a whole lot of satellite streaks at many different angles, all over the field. Looking toward the northern horizon, with faint aurora glow visible, also reflected in a small pond on the ground. The Milky Way is vertical, with the Pleiades easily visible on one side of the picture. Looking toward the city of Regina, more than 100km away, you can see clouds lit up by city light pollution, and a tiny bit of sunset light visible. Above it, there's the Milky Way stretching vertically up from the city, and a chain of satellite streaks going diagonally across the whole scene. Thanks, Starlink. Looking up at the band of the Milky Way, with a line of satellite streaks diagonally across the Milky Way (thanks, Starlink). There's also lots of other satellite streaks in many random directions.

@stephanie Me: Grumpy when I wake up before sunrise
Also me: Grumpy because the sun sets at 16:30

Why o why can’t we just have sunrise at 5:00 and sunset at 23:00 daily (without regard to seasons)?

@mayintoronto So many good choices:
- Bachelor’s degree (B.Eng.)
- Trip to Perú over Christmas 2018
- VIA Rail the Canadian in 2016
- Breakfast/Dinner with my friends*

* I think this is the best choice I always make :-)

@jerome Celle de la SRC n’est pas si mal si on a les bons mots-clés.

Je n’aurais jamais pu trouver cet article avec “50 ans” ou “Baie James” 😵‍💫

@jfmezei Wasn’t that the Champlain Bridge (c. 1962)?

Every time I read about the S.-de Champlain Bridge’s construction materials, it was always mentioned that it would be a mix of steel and concrete (not the same technique as the 1962 Champlain Bridge)

@jerome Merciii :-)

Je trouve que trouver n’importe quoi en français est de plus en plus difficile. Je me fais donner les articles en anglais même quand je cherche explicitement en français.
