Cleaner snowpack could help slow climate change, provide more drinking water

Follow-up info: the University of Alberta has meteorite scientists and a great meteorite collection (I got to visit last year and touch (with gloves) a teeny piece of Mars!). They have good info on their website about meteorite identification: ualberta.ca/science/meteorites

And if you are still convinced you have a meteorite, their website has a form you can fill out and a place to upload photos, so an expert can check and see if they agree with you: eas.ualberta.ca/mrs/

Specifically, the number of locals who have apologised to me for 'the cold weather'

It's 21c. I've had to keep my black jacket on to hide my many sweat patches.

I’ve seen the ad campaign for this:

“Do you have more money than you know what to do with? Do you want to waste it on stupid shit? Are you a sucker for new, useless techn that will dissappear in less than 5 years? Did you buy the original Gold Apple Watch? THEN THIS IS FOR YOU!”

“Exclusive leak: details about Humane’s AI Pin, which costs $699 and has OpenAI integration. It’s like a smartphone without a screen, and it will have a $24/month subscription on top of it.”
