Good Morning #Canada
Everyone knows that Canada's 243,000 km of coastline are the longest in the world. At a pace of about 20 km each day, the stroll would take 33 years. Inside of that long shoreline, did you know that Canada is divided into seven physiographic regions? We're not talking mind altering drugs but instead reference the distinct geological formation that defines the landscape. The Canadian Shield, with the oldest exposed rocks on the planet, dominates the centre of the country with stable immovable bedrock. Kinda like Toronto being the centre of the universe. Each physiographic region gives that area of our country unique features and scenery that provides us with a seemingly inexhaustible opportunity to explore. I should be writing travel brochures...

Data center developers, facing grid access wait times of up to seven years, are turning to aeroderivative turbines and diesel generators to power the AI boom (Martha Muir/Financial Times)
I would like to find the 'genius' who nuked one software package that I like and used and for me to apply the clue bat (with a steel rebar core) when we were forced back to what we had years ago. It is slow, takes more steps to do my job than what we were using. It was also CROSS PLATFORM and not such a resource hog. They also force us to use it in seven days or they uninstall it and make us jump through the hoops to have the damned thing installed again.
Right now it is tak…

Tesla board chair Robyn Denholm wrote a letter to shareholders saying they should approve Elon Musk’s pay package

What had saved Charles Dutton was prison.
He dropped out of school at 12 and pleaded guilty to manslaughter at 17, after stabbing a black man who had pulled a knife on him in a fight.
He served two years.
Then he was sent back for weapons possession, fought with a white guard, and ended up serving another seven and a half.
The tale of his redemption is well known.
He grabbed an anthology of plays by black playwrights on his way into solitary confinement one day…
