re: grumpy swear rant about academia and $
@sundogplanets What if you do most purchases with cash?! No transaction in that case... I went to UdeM, but fortunately I never had to ask to be reimbursed for anything.
The image & quotes were ai-generated, but sum up the situation which is why it resonates with ppl.
Anyways, check out this video related to her new book with Astra Taylor:
End Times Fascism
@adhdeanasl While the terrain looks much more tame than what you describe and though the lawn looks vastly smaller than how yours sounds, I couldn't help but think of you when I saw this post: https://pleroma.debian.social/notice/B7mZ6Vs4qUgrBErf5E
@adhdeanasl @feijoa Maybe she laughs during sleep because you're telling jokes during sleep ?
USA citizens, are you worried about data centres coming to your neighbourhood/town/community? Check out this site by activist Erin Brockovich tracking the evolution of data centres in the USA: https://www.brockovichdatacenter.com/

@sundogplanets Maybe a trend can be started amongst municipalities once more stuff starts falling...
Science participative au Canada
Je viens de m'inscrire pour un projet de science participative pour suivre les tendances de la grippe. Chaque lundi on m'envoie un sondage à une question qui demande si j'aurais eu une toux ou fait de la fièvre pendant la semaine précédente.
Il a fallu fournir la première moitié de mon code postal, mon année de naissance et un courriel pour recevoir le questionnaire.

Citizen Science in Canada
I just signed up for some citizen science to track flu trends. I'll get an email once every Monday asking if I developped a cough or fever in the previous week. They pair that with sewage testing to try to spot trends early.
Not too intrusive: I had to give the first half of my postal code, my birth year and an email address at which to receive the weekly one question survey.

@brettezeleliquide Elle doit penser qu'il vous manque d'amour, alors elle va vous en donner 😜
@coreyspowell I'm flabbergasted to learn, additionally, that it can be done from space by satellite!!
re: food
@sundogplanets 'Nuther use for nettles: https://www.nettlesfortextiles.org.uk/
@sundogplanets I am so jealous. That's the kind of asparagus my Father grew in MJ and that I remember from supermarkets in the West in general. The stuff I see in the market in Montreal is spindly, skinny stuff. The largest stalk in a bunch, if you're lucky, is still smaller round than an HB pencil. And half the length of the stalks is always unusable timber. My mouth is watering looking at your harvest!!
