Spring blooms.

Environment and Climate Change Canada press secretary Keean Nembhard wrote in an emailed statement to DeSmog that the government’s clean energy regulations continue “to apply in all provinces and territories and will require electricity-generating units to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.”

However, Nembhard added, “data centres with their own power generation, not connected to the commercial grid, would not be covered by the [regulation].”

Whatever update or change that just happened @chad@mstdn.ca turned off dark mode in my settings on the web interface. No big deal. #mstdnca

I’ve been reading #MansfieldPark which, I won’t deny, is not without challenges. However, Austen can do wonders with a sentence. I loved this one.

“Too soon did she find herself at the drawing-room door, and after pausing a moment for what she knew would not come, for a courage which the outside of no door had ever supplied to her, she turned the lock in desperation, and the lights of the drawing-room and all the collected family were before her.”

“for a courage which the outside of no door had ever supplied to her” is wonderful.
