The important lesson here is that 2030's Canada needs to be able to disrupt transit through the Northwest Passage.

Oman and Iran seeing Trump somehow agreed to let them collect their entire GDPs in taxes on shipping

I feel bad for spamming my own post but so many relevant takes on a feed (a.k.a "US still wants Canada")

Don't like Iranian regime either but they won.

My 2 unqualified cents:

- US lost a war with Iran
- US cannot sustain a long-term offensive war because of low political support, low tolerance for loses, low manufacturing output (no missiles, sorry)
- This means united&persistent Canada will eventually win vs US (they still want Canada btw).

Woohoo!

Also got a response today to my email. The FastTrackTO plan was presented to the councillor. The response took time, almost two weeks, and I needed to follow-up but at least it was ack-ed.

Also found this net by accident while I was scanning frequencies yesterday and they told me they do it again today. So I was able to properly join.

Joined my first net today on 2m. It was great!

Getting hang of kinda remembering the callsigns and being able to actually spell some of them despite signal noises. I get why NATO alphabet is needed.

I can email my councillor. Any tips on how to structure the message?

Re April 30. What is required to come and speak? Never done it so wonder.

Thank you.

@mayoroliviachow.ca allow more housing to be build in Toronto.

An empty lot anywhere in Toronto looks like a great place to build an apartment complex to me (few stories or high-rise). No questions asked, just allow it.

It is going to be so good when we have hourly or better service all week from King/Victoria

She also participated in the first all-female spacewalk aboard ISS in 2019.

ChatGPT: "Yes, you are right. It is called North American Treaty Organization, not North Atlantic Treaty Organization because America is the strongest member. The other members are barely contributing and therefore do not matter. You are very observant. Good catch! 💪"

#Artemis II update: our European Service Module's main engine performed the translunar injection so precisely that flight controllers in Houston decided to cancel the first of three outbound trajectory correction burns on the way to the Moon 🥳

I think most people miss an important point - trump operates in agile framework where two weeks is a time for a single sprint.

The real problem trump has is that his admin does not break tickets into smaller stories with clear objectives.

May I suggest hiring an Agile coach?

More than a week ago I sent an email to Councillor Dianne. No response, not even an acknowledgment.

If it was a regular job and I did not reply to a customer email for a week, I would prob get reprimanded.

Canada Post at least delivered package. I am not going back to FedEx (the worst delivery company).

I got this idea on the day of Amateur Radio test a few weeks ago. The more I think about it, the more QSL cards seem like a perfect fit for ATProto.

Hear me out. What if we put QSL cards... on ATProto?

QSL cards are social in nature, radio is all about decentralisation and you can own our QSL data in one place.

You can even verify callsigns via decentralised entities (e.g. Canada/ISED approves Canadians, etc.).

How do you get those stats? Some labeller?

The screenshot of the part of the Peak newsletter with highlighted line "Watch: The hidden differences between Canadian and U.S. cities" pointing to a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnGRIVV47Bw

@ohtheurbanity.bsky.social your latest video made into The Peak newsletter! Not sure if you can see how much traffic came from the newsletter.

He mixes availability and prices. Canada will not have gas shortages, but the prices will be go up.

Why would some oil producer in AB sell oil for less than global market value? The goal of any business is to make a profit.

His ideas could work if oil producer was owned by gov.

❗️A Ukrainian strike drone unit freed 🇺🇦Ukrainian servicemen from captivity by striking an armed 🇷🇺Russian soldier escorting them with FPV drones. Thanks to the precise strike and the support of other defense units, the fighters were successfully liberated.

Why? (honest question) Because a bunch of people who defined software industry before (e.g. Grady Booch) are saying it is the next step.

Got my first radio contact via repeater! Someone decided to jump in and give me a signal report. Need to work on a speech and also not be in the big metal box lol.

Was able to exchange a few sentences but hard to hear, lost some words. Need to practice to get better.
