Folks! I’m looking to interview someone looking to buy a home this year in Calgary, regardless of the property type.
If this is you, or someone you know, message me privately so i can tell you more about the story i’m writing.
I've heard good things about the Fiio JM21 (but haven't yet pulled the trigger myself).
The death of a toddler saddens the city. It's the worst example of a deadly epidemic. Column.

Does this work with all market structures?
Are there lessons from ERCOT (other than the need for more automation to bypass the lack of consumer awareness)? Electricity use doesn't seem particularly elastic in some circumstances, like extreme cold or heat, even with $999 pricing.
took a picture of my dog that looks like a New Yorker profile about her getting her life back on track after she was cancelled for calling basset hounds "lazy" and "unnecessary"
I thought you meant figuratively!
How has he seen the political opposition change over time as uptake increased?
Your foreign audience appreciates it :)
Today on Volts: a solo pod! This is just me talking, pulling together the strands -- the bits and pieces I've covered on pods over the last few years -- into a coherent narrative. Data centers, utilities, rising demand, politics ... this is, in my words, what's going on in energy world right now.
General bookings for COVID-19 vaccines opened — in theory — three weeks ago in Alberta.
I still haven't been able to book any for my children.
Just tried again this morning and got hung up on again by Alberta's 811 HealthLink, with an automated message blaming "higher than expected call volume."
Awesome!
For a magazine piece, I'm looking to talk with first-time home buyers in #yeg or #yyc who are currently looking or have made a purchase in the past few months. If this is you, or someone you know, please send me a DM or email cailynn.klingbeil@gmail.com. Thanks!!

Is the good food part of Italy in B?
Certainly hear them!
Trying to explain Calgary’s mayoral race is like trying to catch a small swarm of butterflies with your bare hands.

I was refreshing volts.wtf (go subscribe!) all morning because of David's teaser, and I have to say I did not expect the "so f-ing technical and nerdy" episode to be about synthetic inertia.
My kid's first year of ballet starts in a week, your skeets are making me nervous!
Ha, same!
AISH recipients despair over province’s changes to disability programs.
“It's been made very clear that I'm a burden on this government, that they view disabled people as burdens, that we don't have any worth or value unless we're working. It’s gut-wrenching.”
