Sounds great!
And I think we can define the a fair win condition thusly: if timeanddate.com reports an average high for a month in BC as a whole or in any regional district greater than 50 C before October 2028, you win; otherwise I win.
The loser donates 50 CAD to a food bank of the winner's choice.
Historic weather links that'll be useful for checking the data (change the URL for the month & year you're checking):
- BC
- Alberni-Clayoquot
- Capital
- Cariboo
- Central Coast
- Central Kootenay
- Central Okanagan
- Columbia-Shuswap
- Comox Valley
- Cowichan Valley
- East Kootenay
- Fraser Valley
- Kootenay Boundary
- Metro Vancouver
- Mount Waddington
- Nanaimo
- North Okanagan
- Okanagan-Similkameen
- Squamish-Lillooet
- Strathcona
- Sunshine Coast
- Thompson-Nicola
I'm referring to the "High & Low Weather Summary" table. I'm sure we'll both just be watching to see what happens in Thompson-Nicola regional district.
This seems fair to me, because we both of pretty good odds of winning. With how extreme the weather events are getting and how rapidly things are accelerating, there's a good chance that we could see a 5C increase in the high for Thompson-Nicola by October 2028, but maybe not, and any of the other districts could surprise us.
When you realize that you should not have smoked before the presentation /s
It is honestly tragic and infuriating to watch elected leaders rot while refusing to stop governing.
On Tuesday afternoon, researchers’ fears were confirmed. The pod of almost 100 long-finned pilot whales rushed to the shore, stranding themselves on Cheynes Beach near Albany, in southern Western Australia.
By Wednesday, 52 of the whales had died, the authorities said. A team of local volunteer and conservation officials managed to move the remaining 45 back into the water and attempted to herd them back out to sea, using boats and kayaks to guide them. However, that afternoon, the whales re-stranded themselves further along the beach, the authorities said. The Australia Broadcasting Corporation reported that the whales had again formed a huddle before drifting back to shore.

From my understanding:
- Buy a bank login
- Buy a SIM swap
- Change location w/ RDP server (I don't fully understand this one; maybe pay to RDP into a pwned PC in the right location)
- Find a fall guy and give him a good cut
- Wire money to fall guy
- Fall guy withdraws money
- Get money from fall guy
Looks like it'd be better getting into the darknet businesses that facilitate the wire fraud. Always better to be selling pickaxes than digging for gold.
Won't work. In Texas their God is white.
Wildfires driven by an extreme heatwave have encircled Palermo after temperatures in the Sicilian city climbed to 47C (117F) on Monday.
But while the heat stifles the south, northern regions continued to bear the brunt of bad weather caused by the arrival of cooler air from northern Europe, with more torrential rain and gales forecast in Lombardy, Trentino Alto Adige, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Giuseppe Sala, the mayor of Milan, said residents endured a sleepless night as winds exceeded 63 mph (100 km/h).
Sala said: “What we are seeing is not normal. We can no longer deny that climate change is changing our lives. We can no longer turn a blind eye, and above all, we can’t not do anything.”
The civil protection minister, Nello Musumeci, said: “Climate change is not just a contingency and Italy must realise that it now has a tropical climate. On one hand, we are paying the price of climate change, for which we should have paid more attention several years ago, and, on the other, of infrastructure that does not seem to be totally adequate for the new context.
The COP28 will certainly be interesting.
Country Joe is my favorite psychedelic artist. Served in Vietnam and then wrote protests songs. Tried to talk sense into the crowd about the brown acid at Woodstock. Truly awesome dude.
No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun - for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax - This won't hurt.
Then the sound like someone dropped a heavy book.
Well, I can set an appointment in my calendar, if we can agree on terms. We might as well have some fun at the end of the world. 🙃
I like 5 years for timeframe (that would be end of summer 2028), and >50 C vs. ≤50 C for temperature.
I'm good for up to 100 CAD.
I'd be good with defining the measurement as monthly average high temperature for the southern half of BC, but I can't see anywhere that does that. I feel like including the top half tips things in my favor.
timeanddate.com seems neutral and has good averages for BC as a whole. 10 years seems more fair if we're doing the whole BC average.
What are your thoughts?
Most of my books use 1:1 by volume, and I've never had any issues. When baking I use the Tassajara sponge method, which is 1:1 by weight with an overnight rise before working into a dough.
I'm sure 1:1 by weight would work, too. You'll be along for the ride, so we'll see how it goes!
