    Today’s intended Wordle solution pushed to 2027 due to “major recent news event” ARSTECHNICA.COM "FETUS" edit comes as NYT says game should "remain distinct from the news."

    April 2022 -- Caught it from a friend who came to dinner while his wife was sick (but didn't tell people she was).

    I share a lot of the same physical traits as my father's side of the family -- so pretty sure.

    Given the amount of asymptomatic infections, how many of the folks who think they haven't had it actually have, but don't know it?

    I'm not aware of anywhere in the world that has opened up the second booster for non-immunocompromised folks under 50.

    It is very easy to become a candidate for party leadership, the bar is set low for a reason. There are three candidates that are very centre-right -- Brown, Aitchison and Charest. I think Aitchison would make a great PM.

    She was fired because she is an art teacher, that decided to have a discussion about sexuality with her students. The only appropriate place for adults to be having discussions about sexuality with other people's children is during the sexual education portion of the curriculum. I don't want my kids soccer coaches, scout leaders, dance teachers, art teachers, barbers, etc. having spontaneous conversations with groups of children about sexuality. Talking about your significant other, whether they be the same gender or a different one is perfectly normal. Telling a group of middle school kids that you're married to a man but attracted to both men and women is none of their fucking business. She's their teacher, a person in authority, not their friend.

    That isn't what happened here.

    I was specifically referring to this case. And what this specific teacher did.

    I know people here only read the headlines, and not the article.... The link to the NBC story.

    She's married to a man, it's literally the fifth sentence in the article. How did you get that as a takeaway from the article? That this came from a picture on a desk?

    I would like to see in the curriculum where teachers are supposed to discuss their sexuality with their middle school students, encourage classroom discussion for each of the student's sexualities/gender identities, set an assignment for each student to create a flag that represents their sexuality/gender identity, and then hang those flags on the door of the classroom.

    The future of the U.S. abortion battle: Think pills, not clinics | CBC News WWW.CBC.CA Abortion is an old battle. Pills are the new one. Most abortions are now with pills taken at home and we're about to witness a multi-front feud throughout the United States. Abortion foes may find it harder to crack down on pills than on clinics — and some Americans see Canada as a front in that battle.

    Aitchison looks like the best choice.

    All of those places are in the City of Toronto, and are part of the 2.7 million population. Fair, my perception of "sketchy" may be different than yours. My last trip to J&F convinced me I didn't want to go back without a good reason. That said, every neighbourhood in Toronto is an order of magnitude safer than where I lived in Brazil. Yes. If we raze all the $2-4 million homes, it could be made walkable. If you get rid of the Parking around Go's, you cut off the access to many Go Train stations. For the most part, they are mainly commuter trains (or for suburbanites to go to Raptor/Blue Jay/Leafs games).

    My social media bubble in Canada seems to be focused on two things: 1) Whether abortion rights in Canada are "fragile" and whether the conservatives will pass an anti-abortion law 2) That anti-abortion is driven by old white men trying to control women. These are the candidates for the CPC leadership. Care to guess which is the pro-lifer? Stereotypes are not helpful.

    Is any of Scarborough walkable? How much of Etobicoke? Downsview, North York, etc. There are lots of sketchy areas in Toronto that I wouldn't go walking at night. Regent Park, Rexdale, Jane and Finch, etc.

    The problem is that a very small population (probably less than 500k) live like that -- the other 7.5 million in the Golden Horseshoe don't.
  21. AbsolutSurgen
    Perhaps in Montreal - it's pretty walkable already. Maybe Vancouver. Toronto (the GTA) is a lost cause. Making Edmonton walkable would be interesting...
  22. AbsolutSurgen
    That will take even longer. They're not working on that either.

    Canada's electricity grid will need substantial changes to help achieve net zero: report | CBC News WWW.CBC.CA Canada will need to make aggressive changes to its electricity systems to meet increased demand, driven partly by the uptake of electric vehicles, according to a new report. Infrastructure takes a long time to get put in place. This has been a clear whole in the climate plans for years. Commitments to make them aligned are meaningless without the appropriate action to meet the commitments.

    I suspect you're right. I'll be honest, I don't know the regional breakdowns in the US -- but I suspect it is very politically rational for some Congressmen/Senators to support abortion for their own individual election, even though it doesn't make sense for the party as a whole.
