@carlysagan @profdc9 It's so much BS that a proposal entirely written by a LLM has probably a good chance of getting funded.
We managed to trap two feral kittens tonight!
Got my flu vaccine and my 9th Covid vaccine! 💉
@DrPlanktonguy Hm, I've submitted many this year and every single submission went through the first time. 🤷‍♂️
@DrPlanktonguy Huh? I never had an issue with any of my apps?

I really don't like the new design of the WeatherCan app. There are plenty of other weather apps out there but I want the old WeatherCan app back!

Environment Canada shares all the raw data in a nice XML file. So I quickly hacked together a proof of concept in #SwiftUI that looks exactly like the old one. Would anyone be interested in joining forces to create an #opensource #iOS app with the look and feel of the old WeatherCan app?

This is fine! This is not nefarious at all! I am definitely not thinking that there is a very good chance a new monster highway in the Greenbelt would not pass an environmental assessment!

I don't want "town halls" or "fireside chats," these internal gatherings where university admin feed us insipid lines inspired if not actually prepared by PR consultants telling us about the extent of faculty and staff excellence and their own deep commitment to equity. Could we have some accountability - even if only a tiny bit - instead?

Judging by my app’s download numbers, the #comet is definitely fading!
@MichaelPorter I've submitted some feedback. The message shown on the screen suggests this function might not be working ...

@mbonsma
Does that mean you could use, say, a coal powered food truck in the vicinity? Asking for a friend.

@mbonsma Very telling too that when the Ford government passed legislation to "Build Transit Faster" in 2020 (which ironically affected the Eglinton LRT that is STILL not operational), there was no need to exempt transit projects from Environmental Assessments to "cut red tape".

They know these highways wouldn't hold water under any serious environmental assessment and are trying to push them through anyway. EAs are not just a roadblock, they support more sustainable decision-making!

@santiagozm absolutely. There is an agenda with this government and it is not based on rational decision-making
