That fire north of Fort St John, just a rebirth of last years?

Don't know. These are "thermal anomalies" so not all are necessarily forest fires. For example there's one sitting on top of Nucor Steel in Seattle.

Nothing major out this way yet, and we even got a bit of rain.

The better to grow kindling for later. (It's 110/43 degrees where I am and the air is filled with wildfire smoke.)

Your scientists were to buzy figuring out if they could do it, rather than thinking about whether or not they should...

Japan is weird

My utility company: please, people. Please keep your thermostat set at 78 degrees. The power grid is dangerously overloaded. Please, we are begging you.

The AI nobody asked for: ~siphoning up enough electricity to power the whole neighborhood~ Look everyone, I drew an anime catgirl with six breasts lol

The NFTs nobody wants: ~powering up another bank of 300 computers~ Hold my beer!

Now I want a sci-fi book where instead of using a time machine to stop Hitler, they use it to stop the first oil well and put in place environmental regulations that folks won't understand for a long time. Or something like that....

Ah. I did read last year that the fires up that way were just going to smolder if we didnt get a lot of snow.

And we didnt, so here comes round 2?

Yeah, its going to be hilarious watching Canada's grid start cascading brownouts/blackouts because we made a number of poor choices the last few years and the climate decided to get all like...warm.

Pffffft.

The Texas power grid gets as trustworthy as Andy Dick on angel dust if it gets too hot OR too cold. We had a series of blackouts yesterday that derailed my family’s entire evening.

…and our governor approved all kinds of sweetheart deals for bitcoin mining companies. The taxpayers are even paying the miners to slow or cease mining during power outages.

Texas' power grid has more than miners as a problem but i'm sure you know that

I honestly mostly don't, but I can't say so.

Open sandwich = subset of sandwich.
Therefore pizza is a (subset of) sandwich.

Calzone is just a regular sandwich.

Cannoli can't be sushi unless it has seafood in it.
