One way to tell if someone is done speaking and wants you to respond is when they wave their hand in front of your face.

"DB.. Is that supposed to be a nickname that's easier than calling you by your full name?" dB is the symbol for Decibel, a logarithmic unit of sound intensity; 10 times the logarithm of the ratio of the sound intensity to some reference intensity... So in answer to your question, yes.

If you get invited for drinks at a #CalgaryStampede party that starts at 8, you should confirm AM or PM.

Remember when 44 people in Toronto ☠️ of SARS in 2003 and it was a big deal? Remember H1N1 in 2009? I do. It sucked. Over 500 confirmed ☠️ . Flu shots became big after that. COVID-not over-continues to ☠️50 to 100 people a week. Officially 59k ☠️ & counting. Excess mortality estimates double this.

100 MW/200 MWh sodium-ion energy storage project in Qianjiang, Hubei Province, was connected to the grid.

The technology has less energy density than lithium ion (less important for stationary grid-scale applications) and avoids use of critical minerals.

We easily cut water use at our home by at least 50% during Calgary’s water restrictions. So, while we'll creep up a bit now that they're lifted, we see no reason to go back to the levels that we were at before. Even my 4 minute shower seemed excessive today. I still enjoyed it though. 😏

Breaking news: Many will be relieved to know that I may take a shower that lasts longer than 90 seconds today. 🚿 Just shy of a month since a major break in one of Calgary’s main water feeder lines, Indoor water use restrictions have been lifted.

The saying, "The good die young" has truth to it. Empathetic people tend to carry a heavier emotional load. This taxes the sympathetic nervous system, which if not balanced, increases wear on the body, even serious health consequences. Empathy is still good, just look after yourself as well.

Like there's a lot they were not especially clear about, and all sorts of reasons where we shouldn't tie our own future to their past. But "Kings are bad; the President is not a King; he must be constrained by law" is one of the few things they were, to their credit, very clear about
