If Kenney lost power in any of those countries in the spectacular way he did in Alberta, he'd probably be in a hole in the desert today.

Watching a video about Jupiter's core when the ADHD kicked in and now the OCD won't let go...

Assuming we lack any handy magnetite samples is there any indication that #exoplanets undergo geomagnetic reversal?

I'd bet there are a *lot* of Syrians who would love to help kill Russians. Maybe in exchange for a few shiploads of grain.

#GrahamGreene will live on in our memories as explosives and demolition expert, Edgar Montrose.
Greene's sincerity, deadpan delivery, and perfect timing made him one of the great 🇨🇦 comedians. #RIP

Little known fact: SRV couldn't really play and sing at the same time. Watch the videos. His brother, Jimmie Vaughn of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, told him he'd never get anywhere if he didn't sing. I think he said this in a Guitar Player interview.

Ever read _Moby Dick_? It just goes on and on and on with every fact known about whales: how they breed, how they feed, where they are... 88 chapters total.
I decided I would finish it, like Ahab, through sheer bloody-minded determination, even if it took me down with it.

But your bibliography will be spectacular!

I have the e-book. It's brutal. Especially if you aren't that familiar with European geography.
I don't think it's the writing but the scope and complexity.
This is why I never took the 200 level Pre-confederation Germany History course.
