Weird feeling as while looking to answer to the question "how do I get the coordinates of the minimal value of a numpy.ndarray ?", found that I already asked that question ten years ago: https://laurentperrinet.github.io/sciblog/p…

One fascinating film trivia I learned recently is that Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze’s marriage from 1999 to 2003 partially inspired Coppola’s 2003 film Lost In Translation and Jonze’s 2013 film Her.
Coincidentally, both films star Scarlett Johansson as the main female protagonist, both films were nominated for the Oscar Best Picture, and both films won the Oscar Best Original Screenplay for Coppola and Jonze.

Many of us learned to survive by staying slightly absent from our own lives.
Not apathy. Not burnout. Something quieter.
A low-grade separation that let us function when feeling everything became too much.
It protected us. But survival is not the same as being alive.
What does it look like to come back?

The Long Dissociation and the Cost of Nonchalance: Why We Feel Numb, Detached, and Distant
An essay on how prolonged overwhelm teaches us to care less—and how we gently relearn presence, desire, and participation in our own lives.

The same behaviour can be seen in the far right.

#13 is a lucky number for me as I wore it on my hockey jersey for 20 years of unremarkable performance in industrial and adult leagues and didn't die. And that brings us to #13 on our countdown of #CanadaRivers.
The Ottawa River begins at Lac des Outaouais, north of the Laurentian Mountains of central Quebec, flowing west to Lake Timiskaming. From there its route has been used to define the interprovincial border between Quebec and Ontario. The 1,271 km river has a watershed of 146,300 km2, ultimately draining into the St. Lawrence River. It served as a major trade route for Indigenous people and Ottawa means "to trade" in Algonquin. The river, it's surrounding forests and Indigenous people were all severely impacted by the forestry industry. Lumberjacks brought disease and over-hunted local game, logs jammed the river and dams were constructed to control water levels for moving timber. Today 50 dams, reservoir and hydroelectric, exist on the Ottawa.
