I disagree with the metrics here. In the US Hydro power is not considered renewable yet it powers roughly a third of Canadians. Quebec's Hydro Power also powers a large part of New York, Vermont and Massachusetts.

I'm a Montrealer and I visit Burlington regularly for week end trips with the family. From a tourist perspective that city is a nice size with what feels like a vibrant local food culture.

I forget where I heard or read this but for something like millions of years wood and other plant materials was not broken down by anything at all as there were no animals to eat away at them.

I worry many of these jobs will be temporary. We're just ramping up production of turbines and other equipment. Installations will peak within the next (maybe) 10 years and from then there will be less and less demain as maintenance w

Mine are on github. If you want to use this setup simply copy and paste the contents of your original files and use the `makesymlinks.sh` script to create the links. It takes me 30 seconds to setup a new computer with it. https:/&#x2

I remember the days when we all feared Microsoft in the startup world for the same reason we fear Google today.

A lot of sex happens outside of trusting relationships. The woman with whom I lost my virginity tried to trick me into being the father for a child that wasn't mine. It most likely isn't representative but as a polyamorous man, w

I can't help but feel you are downplaying the procedure by saying that it sometimes doesn't require pain medication. In the clinic I went to they hand you a subscription for pain medication as routine and give you an ice pack to p

In Quebec we sell electricity to the US for cheap and it's dam water powering turbines that generates it all.

The nuance of calling people names is lost on the author. Bad code can be written by great coders. It happens to the best of us. No need to insult people to improve code.

There is something I do not understand. Why does `<div>` not create a syntax error in the Javascript examples? Is there a pre-processor?

If this fascinates you I recommend you read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Better_Angels_of_Our_Natur... . It's a book that talks about violence in history. Ötzi is mentioned and so are a few others.

The majority of the population does not care about this one bit. They're going to carry on driving their gas guzzlers. The only change we can make is if we, who understand what is at stake, invest in renewables to bring their price do

The problem with crashes isn't that it is hard to predict one will happen. It's that it is hard to predict when.

I once had a friend who closed all apps he wasn't using at the time so his memory usage was always below 40%. I told him this was ridiculous to purchase a computer he was only using so little off. I don't care how much memory a t

I can't believe no one has mentioned Journey. To me this is closest to Art you can find in a video game.

I own two fridges, an oven and a dual dishwasher from them. The fridges are beautiful to look at but the pump is rather noisy. The oven is the best oven I've ever had in my life. The dishwasher broke down more times than I care to s

That's a huge leap. Maybe women working has an impact. It might be that they're too tired when they get home.

It's a sad story but I love the way in which she welcomes the potential lover that will one day replace her. Makes me think of what the polyamorous call compersion.

I'm currently using Heroku right now because everything else seemed so hard to setup for me. This is good news to see so much effort poured into improving that part!
