Brig Gen Oleksandr Tarnavskiy estimated Russia had devoted 60% of its time and resources into building the first defensive line and only 20% each into the second and third lines because Moscow had not expected Ukrainian forces to get through.

The hubris is shocking

The combo of terrible forest management and climate change driven change incl increasingly arid fuel and hotter and dryer summers is a doozy.

But are they worse than Microsoft’s?

“I don’t know what their thinking is,” Da Silva said. “But I don’t think it’s fair to ask people to not work and to basically shut down the industry for six months.”

I mean, I think it’s pretty clear they want to kill the industry. Absolutely bizarre.

It’s quite telling they are trying some sustainability argument while having previously pushed for more open pit coal mining on the eastern slopes of the Rockies

I’m in the migration path for sandhills and so I’m only used seeing them in farmer fields and super twitchy (due to hunting season). It’s so wild to see them in the South in people’s front yards!

I don’t understand what this provides. They already make it so you don’t have to give out credit card info. Is it just to avoid bank fees in some way? Avoid banking regulation?

To further this point, here you can find the Env Canada long range probabilistic forecasts which are actually based on science and observations :q

More likely above average

I’ve always wanted this but didn’t realize it was coming out!

Also whooping cranes. I’ve had them twice fly over head and they come in so fast compared to the other migrating birds – snow geese and cranes – it’s incredible. Seeing them far off, and you just “know”. Grab the camera and hope they fly over. They’re also a spectacular “good news” story of conservation.

I also watched a great grey owl hunt for voles for an hour, totally oblivious to us just sitting there. First time over ever wished for a shorter lens!

I think it’s trying to say that the gasoline cars have no fuel in them when transported (thus less fire risk) versus the batteries which can still burn when “empty” (which I doubt they are)

At least the front didn’t fall off

> Introduced by US representatives Warren Davidson and Sara Jacobs, the amendment, first reported by WIRED, would prohibit US military agencies from “purchasing data that would otherwise require a warrant, court order, or subpoena” to obtain. The ban would cover more than half of the US intelligence community, including the NSA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the newly formed National Space Intelligence Center, among others.

I guess I’m not surprised, but I didn’t realize they had warrantless access to these data. With the attacks on e2e in the UK this really drives home how important encryption.

I don’t get it. It’s so strange.
