Plutonium actually does combust^1^. Even worse, it's pyrophoric^2^. I couldn't easily find kcal/g though.

• ^1^ Whoopie

hmm. I prefer to live by "I've cut it three times and it's still too short"

Altruistically? Rosneft, the largest oil company in Russia. Help climate change and cripple Putin's war machine in one go.

For me? Central Square, purveyors of shitty enterprise software.

If you remember navigating with a compass and map, GPS is goddamned magical.

Guy tried to enlist the boss's brother in law to falsify work. "We don't have to walk all the way up the mountainside to do the work, the client will never check it". Then he went home, leaving said brother in law to do all the work by himself.

A week after getting fired, he called the boss about the performance bonus that was promised at the start of the contract.

The bear uses Arch, BTW.

As a non-American, it's crazy to me that there (apparently) aren't any safe storage laws enforced. Would it really infringe people's gun rights to require that all firearms may only be in a safe, in your hands, or on your person (in a holster, sling, etc.)?

bears won’t stalk you, pretend to be friendly to gain your trust with the intention of harming you

Actually they will (sometimes). I had one young black bear that kept approaching me like a shy dog. It kept looking away and pretending to nibble bushes when I shouted at it. I left before finding out if it wanted to eat me (it probably did, being first thing in the spring). Another time we had a black bear that wasn't too obviously aggressive, but followed one of our crew around for two days. We ended up shooting it because we were in a fly-in camp and couldn't leave.

Most bears I met walked or ran away, including grizzlies.

Bears are complicated.

I like pedantry as much as the next person, but skew is a regular English word as well as a statistical term. It's clear here which usage they meant.

If you look here, you'll see that all the trades involved in housing construction are on the list for fast-track immigration already.

As for training, we may find that it's more the number of people leaving the trades that is the problem. It's not that the pay is bad, exactly, but it's an industry extremely prone to boom/bust cycles. People leave for jobs with some sense of stability. Increasing unionization and enhancing EI might be more cost effective than funding more training.

They didn't mention that public sector workers are about 60% unionized, but private sector is more like 10%. Collective bargaining typically sets pay on the position, not the worker.

It's supposed to be reflected in the price to the consumer. That's what's supposed to cause the consumers to make less carbon-intensive choices.

For goods or services that don't actually have any fossil carbon used, there probably should be a mechanism to call them out for misinformation.
