It is Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Rule 1:
Never NEVER abbreviate Cybersecurity Awareness Month as CSAM

You know how playgrounds often have sub-playgrounds for smaller kids and for bigger kids? What if they also had outdoor playgrounds for teens and adults, with bigger climbing structures and spinning contraptions and everything

Stickers found in Penticton public park calling for deportations and claiming 'war on whites' - Penticton News A Penticton woman was shocked to see stickers in a public park promoting a pro-white movement.

Many many thanks to this person for doing the right thing when they found this and taking that vile shit down. Racism has no place in this society!

7/ And this is, fundamentally, a far-right movement. These are the conspiracies & bad science of the Freedom Convoy. While UOF claims CFIA isn’t testing properly to gain public sympathy, UOF’s Katie Pasitney states that PCR testing is fake.

I guess when the time comes for me to adopt a new cat, it will NOT be from the Okanagan Humane Society. They made their stance clear on Facebook, and I prefer when agencies I adopt from believe in science.

One of them was even already killed because of their behaviours, yet they don’t learn a damn thing.

Troublesome teens go too far in Kelowna restaurant - Kelowna News β€œThey sit outside smoking, drinking, using offensive language, throwing bottles inside, and have even stolen items, like chips.”

I’m usually more well-spoken than this, but I’m fed up with this kind of bullshit. And more fed up with the RCMP response. It’s been getting worse and worse for a few years now with the same group….obviously the β€œrestorative justice system” isn’t working.

Global News laid off 26 journalists in B.C. and Alberta today.

In B.C. the layoffs include virtually all of the online team, along with many others.

The business is increasingly cruel, and the hollowing out of newsrooms providing fair and reliable information continues to suck.

A cat laying on an ottoman, in front of a window with outside. The cats face is flat down during on the ottoman as if it just fell face first.

And it’s all because running a light that has been red for 20 seconds is not considered a β€œmarked departure from the standard of care required”. WTF is wrong with us???

I’m not against cars. I own one.

But we need to make it much, much easier, pleasant, and safer to walk, bike, or take transit than it is to drive somewhere by myself in an empty car.

And there’s no way to do that without making some drivers angry.

Thankfully, more and more drivers understand.

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

β€œOne mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

β€œWhich means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Some costs aren’t costs.

The reason EV range (and gas mileage) go down so much when you drive faster is because, when you drive twice as fast, you hit twice as many molecules AND you hit each of those molecules with twice as much force, which means drag increases exponentially.
