@ianmiles Good to know people did step up to try and protect the driver. This is why public demonstrations need to be planned with your local authorities so they can block roads. Try to provide a link to authoritative sources to provide context, 3yr old video https://t.co/x6jZEShHSa

Saturday morning music videos with almost 3 year old son lead me to muppets + queen. #YouAreWelcome https://t.co/6xAAtmsSH5

@codeopinion Paying for libraries and code creates a dependency that could cause issues.

What if the license changes, what if the prices get raised, what if it's abandoned, how do you navigate all that?

Open source let's you fork, extend, fix things yourself if required.

@johnnyszerdi Miners who aren’t servicing debt obligations will be fine. Most are operating at a gross margin of 40% or better today. As inefficient miners go offline post halving the difficulty will decrease making efficient miners more profitable.

Check out @NfKerry in his latest NL_IceMan@youtube video. Drone vantage of ice swimming in @NewFoundLand . Someone get this #CazyCanuck a @TimHortons hot chocolate and a @BeaverTails to warm up.

@blackcatpro @RoboRobbins VIA Rail has been working on its High Frequency Rail (HFR) proposal. "With High Frequency Rail, Canadians would enjoy a modern passenger rail service providing a more connected, more sustainable, and more mobile Canada." https://t.co/AX2F82dXju

@blackcatpro @RoboRobbins What are the major differences between the Canadian context and other implementations? How do factors such as Geography, geology, population density, weather, funding models, transportation infrastructure, governance models and legislation fall into this? https://t.co/Iay3omjfi6

@toddscanlan @NCRloriRCN If only. Apparently all Canadian federal public servants have the same work preferences. Therefore only a single approach to managing office attendence is required. I look forward to learning about the new metrics our performance agreements will now include. Should be interesting

@Elauranna @Gail23526880 @CANADAquakes Hey Gail, what stuff can who create and how?

[David Sampson @samperd]

Is this true? @CANADAquakes @bluhock88 @CanadianGeotech . Since the solar cycle determines radio wave propogations is there a relationship between propogations and earthquakes? Interestingly both phenomenon seem to experience local variations. #amateurradio @RACTWEETS

[Mike Gloade @bluhock88]

@CANADAquakes Solar activity dictates earthquakes.

@jondotgov @NatashaCoteKhan @kingofark @GCmobility I prefer to manage projects and outcomes rather than managing other people and their tasks. I might need to "manage" my 2yo son, but most public servants are professional adults that should be able to manage themselves. Opinions certainly vary on management approaches.

[David Sampson @samperd]

@canadianosprey @mirgray @debirdify @MLucieA @cccrashhh @jondotgov the next thing to do is to regularly run Debirdify to see who has recently joined #mastodon

[David Sampson @samperd]

@NatashaCoteKhan @kingofark Neither. As an IT-04 senior advisor I may be the lead of @gcmobility but I am not allowed to "manage" the team. I pass along "recommendations" on performance management and leave requests to the "signing authority". The best part of this arrangement is that I am more of coach.

[David Sampson @samperd]

@FlexGCInfo I wonder how goals and metrics differ between the YES and NO camps. Not sure if any actionable Intel could be extracted by such a poll.

[David Sampson @samperd]

@NCRloriRCN Thanks for sharing your story. All I ask is that just as you are empowered to work in a way that works best for you, I'd like to remain empowered to work in a way that works best for me. No need to challenge you as I don't think you're wrong. I also don't think I am wrong either.

When you are told that otherwise doable things are 'impossible'.

@jvanulden @thomkearney I recognize and very much appreciate the data ecosystem mapping that @thomkearney and the team have been up to.
