The science behind B.C. Ferries weather cancellations
The process behind deciding to cancel a ferry sailing because of weather is a high stakes calculation that involves a high-tech nerve center, a 28-year Navy veteran and a strict mathematical matrix designed to survive the volatile waters of the Salish Sea.

I'm counting my calorie intake. With #SelfHosted #SparkyFitness, of course.

Also, my wife is baking a lot, and it is a problem when I need to track that "custom" food somehow. So instead of guessing, I'm now calculating nutrition values of her recipes.

Wife out of the blue asked: "What day is Easter?"
Me: "Huh? It keeps moving around as it's tied to the new moon, or something..."

Vaguely remembered there was a formula to calculate the date, but was puzzled by wife's interest as Easter Bunny and eggs AFAIK haven't really taken off yet in Japan. Insidious effects of Tokyo Disneyland propaganda?🤔
Found the date (5 April 2026) and the Butcher-Meeus algorithm. [1,2]

The #corpus #calculation with the final big number for my version. Aiming at about $5M raise and #home 18 forever. Have to rerun numbers against double blind sources and against known gold standard document. But the method is the thing. It is merely the same vehicle that the #billionaires use to pin you down. You bet the market, not stocks, then cannot be a target because they do not shit in their own pool.
#Homelessness is below survival line, not just #poverty line.
