Virtual ERs are controversial, but in rural #Newfoundland, one has saved a life
Like many rural hospitals across #canada, the New-Wes-Valley health centre has been plagued by closures because there were no doctors or nurses to keep it open. The virtual-care solution, however, has saved at least one life.

#HunterBiden understands the rules for testimony

Sometimes you just need to bodge.
I needed a BNC to 3.5mm adapter to get some signals from my signal generator into an amplifier.
Lacking the part, or even the correct parts to make it, I instead bodged a PCB mount 3.5mm socket onto the back of a phono plug, which plugs into a BNC to phono adapter I do have.

“Wild groves of olive trees have been harvested by inhabitants of the region for thousands of years, dating back to the Chalcolithic period in the Levant (4,300-3,300 BCE), and the razing of such groves has had calamitous environmental consequences. “[The] removal of trees is directly linked to irreversible climate change, soil erosion, and a reduction in crops,” according to a 2023 Yale Review of International Studies report.”

I hope that this can garner some attention since global warming is such a bigger issue than is anything else going on, but I know that climate advocacy isn't as popular as is the cause du jour sadly.

The American oil lobby has launched an eight-figure media campaign this week gaslighting the idea that fossil fuels are “vital” to global energy security when in truth it's the exact opposite.

I wonder if it's $10,000,000 or ninety million?

Space based solar power is great for powering things in space.

It is not useful for powering things on Earth.

And groups still trying to make it happen seems like a distraction from actual efforts to switch to more sustainable energy sources on the ground.

I was reminded today of a Wallace and Gromit short film that my son used to watch repeatedly when he was a small child. Our favourite bit came at the very end of the video, and it still makes me laugh so much that I'm now just playing that one small segment repeatedly (ffwd to 1:15 if the timestamp in the link doesn’t work):
