My first #coffeeneuring post. We’ll see if it sticks.

I biked 7 miles to the bus station, took the bus down to Minneapolis, got coffee and lunch at Chimborazo, a delightful Ecuadorian restaurant on Central, then biked home with a strong southern tailwind […]

Hire Italian postdocs, they'll make Tiramisu! (French folks did make and bring crepes... So hire French postdocs, too!)

@deborahh

Didn't see the National Ballet URL at first, so I thought this was a conspiracy by Big Nutcracker Corp to increase prices just before the holiday season when all those bowls of walnuts come out.

I’ve put together a short playlist of videos on #PeerTube that are from my catalogue of course and public lecture materials in physics. The videos have some relevance to the Physiology/#Medicine (light and cell ion currents), #Physics (neutrino astronomy), and #Chemistry (symmetry) prizes. They […]

Ok fedi-friends, I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here. Truthfully I haven’t had a lot to say. That’s changing now though as I cheerfully announce that I am running for a seat on #yellowknife city council. I love #democracy, I love the […]

Numerous different calendar systems are used in the world. The Christian/Western/Gregorian calendar counts the years from an estimate of the year when Jesus was born, and the year turns when the date changes from Dec 31 to Jan 1. There are lunar and solar calendar systems that have been […]

With snap election rumours heating up... I spoke to Global News about the BCNDP's "strategy". British Columbians deserve a better option than status quo parties that only care about their own interests. Join the BC Greens and let's believe in better together. bcgreens.ca/join

I've updated Regional and Mayoral candidates, it seems several had changed their contact info with elections clerks since the candidate lists were certified. More updates coming soon.

@megmac @bobjonkman I see you already have an answer for this specific question, but in the future if you're looking for authoritative sources for timezone/DST policy changes, the first place I always look is the tzdb¹ mailing list² ³.

It's going to be a very long, really hard day.

I made sure to feed lots of apples and corn stalks to the goats during morning chores. Please enjoy my goats looking like they are singing opera, and my cat who always jumps up on my shoulder when I come in for […]

A whole bunch of goats in a grassy area.  A black goat with a white nose and long white ears is staring intensely at the camera, waiting her turn for apples.  A hand is feeding a small ground-fall apple to a white goat right next to the black goat.Multiple goats with apples entirely in their mouths, with their heads back to get the apples to their molars.  They all look like they are singing opera. There are lots of other goats in the background, oblivious to the apple-opera.  There's green grass and a tall wooden fence in the far background, with a cloudy sky above.Similar to the previous picture, but only a couple of goats are obviously eating apples.  There's also a large yellowish dog in the background in addition to all the goats.A close-up of the face of a stripey grey cat looking wildly at something right above the camera, while perched on a person's shoulder.  There's a curtain over a window in the background.

Decisions about privatising public assets should require broad majority consensus, not unilateral action by parties without majority support. Proportional representation ensures major decisions reflect genuine consensus, not the whims of whichever party wins key swing ridings.
