A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."

Ominous bird valentines.

France has ended up in a strange position after using some €250bn of tax-payer money to build a fleet of nuclear power stations. Wind and solar power is merrily entering the French power market at prices nuclear production can't match, resulting in huge surpluses of power.

It’s a two-fer!

Oilers are the type to start their group project the night before it’s due, only to get an A+. Ultimate procrastinators

Maybe janmark for the middle one and Pickard on the right?

Snakes, welcome to the war on cars

Boy, Leon is only one name but he essentially removes the entire second line 😅

There’s a great community that works on hacks to improve little things, like a 3D printed mount to improve Storm Shield stability betterabound.familybikeride.org

Not as robust as Tern, but you’re right about mixing! I was able to fit a storm box on mine pretty well (except one snap button that doesn’t quite reach) and will likely get the shield at some point. Back rack fits one Yepp easily. Two would be snug but doable.

I got an Aventon Abound LR last year. I was tempted by the more expensive, nicer bikes that many will likely recommend to you (Tern, Urban Arrow) but the price difference was too hard to justify for me. So far so good, but maybe I will pay for it in increased maintenance over the coming years!

Congrats Robson! Sounds like a great next step

Loved that math back in the day when Iginla would fight. Great way to keep him off the ice

it's only called butterfly if the goalie comes from the Papillon province

China recognizes that energy storage is completely transformational for the electricity grid & thus for society as a whole. And so it is investing!
