@McCormickTyler_ @ctvregina Yes wind is great for Canada, so is hydro and nuclear
Solar is great for individuals (I have it) but not great on the national level for it's abysmal performance in winter

[🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @Connexinet]

@McCormickTyler_ @ctvregina I am a fan of solar but doesn't work in Canada at large scale unfortunately (winter drop) but you can use it as cheap source with other sources (wind or hydro would be great)
Heck you can keep the coal plants and only use them when needed

[🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @Connexinet]

"This is the fastest and most economic way" it's true but I think you need to put numbers so people understand.

SK has generates < 5GW, you can easily do that with less than $10B in solar or wind. Heck you can do both and still save money (the fuel cost alone would finance this)
Use left over for minor refurbishment of old pants as backup source

Quickly export PDF breakdowns of your analytics, but also most charts and sections are also easily exportable to csv to fit your workflow!

@DadRogd @MikeHudema You are running out of oil. It's depleted by 90%. The US will also run out of oil in 10 years. By then you realize how precious oil is for petrochemicals and you burned it like an idiot because wind mills are ugly

This article appears to be written by someone who can't do elementary level math
We got a heatpump dryer long time ago not because it's banned but because it makes sense
It saves us hundreds of dollars a year in electricity bills (so it's much much cheaper to own, not more expensive!!), clothes come out soft and not damaged because you are not blowing hot air on them.
Yes they are 20-30% slower but unless you dry your clothes 24/7 that's not a big deal
Oh and our heatpump dryer is actually quieter than our old traditional one

I understand that people want to play politics or are just afraid of anything new remember incandescent bulbs? Yes, you are one of those...
Maybe ask your grandchildren to do the math next time you write something

Excited to be demoing our PeerTube integration tomorrow at the fediforum
Hope to see you all there

I am grateful that Americans use kw to measure electricity instead of horses

Hi there,
Thank you for the feedback
Our plans page https://t.co/eDIERnd9Og describes what each plan does (in more than one way) and lists which features are supported on each plan
Additionally, prior to subscribing the service tells you which plan is required for each feature when you select them.
We have also named each plan to reflect what you can do in the plan so there should be zero confusion.
The Publish plan is designed for Publishing and analysis of what you publish. Thousands of users happily use that plan to publish!
If you need to do more than Publishing then the other plans are more appropriate for that as described on our plans page

@marcel_lucht @Azure @AWS Thanks Marcel,
We have looked into OVH Canada in the past
The issue with these smaller cloud providers is that they are a bit thin on PaaS so it adds a bit of overhead for us to migrate and manage our cloud

[🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @Connexinet]

Dear @Azure,
Every time you deprecate a product we move to its equivalent on @AWS
There is a reason we use PaaS: to avoid maintenance, and your endless cycles of deprecation is the opposite of that!
There will be point when all our Azure resources will be at AWS

And the genius PM who thought squeezing $5 from customers is a good idea will cost you everything

@PierrePoilievre Which g7 countries do not have high speed rail?

[🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @Connexinet]

@chrisparkX This is cool, Chris!

@SuperFastRacing @AAGDhillon Exactly
You don't even need to enhance the image, you can read it directly.
It's upside down, so read it from right to left

Genius level, I don't know how these people got their jobs

[🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @Connexinet]

I really hope you are not serious, Sasan
There is no way anyone would trust an agent to be hooked up to your software given its present state of unreliability.
If simple tasks like adding records is so buggy, do you think anyone would trust to automate it?
Your company produces one of the worst software I ever seen, riddled with bugs and poor UX that keeps changing for the worse with each iteration

[🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @Connexinet]

@barrymc0ckner @RWMaloneMD @JessePeltan 1. Your chart is wrong (renewables account for 9% unlike what your chart shows, solar alone is 4%)
2. Your statement is misleading. Fossil &lt;&gt; oil
3. You are missing the trend. 85% of new installations is renewable

[🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @Connexinet]

Ahhh, same guy different time

[🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @Connexinet]

This does look familiar

[🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @Connexinet]

@ervinkalemi You will need the DPA anyway, it can be a deal breaker with large customers

And it's a bullet dogged with that "potential customer", you definitely don't want threatening types, they are more pain than they are worth.
