Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

Fat guys that lose a lot of weight have massive calves. No amount of calf/ toe raises can compete with walking around with a hundred pounds or more of excess weight.

- Comment on How hard is it for an American citizen to become a Canadian citizen? Or get dual citizenship? 2 weeks ago:
It might be difficult for him. Canada’s immigration system is primarily built on skills. Highly skilled and in demand workers have a comparatively easy path. Skilled in this case can mean different things but typically requires a trades certificate or university degree and several years of full time experience. If he doesn’t clear that bar then he needs to go through a provincial program which may have different skill requirements, but would require him to live in a specific place for several years.
From your description it sounds like he works less than full time in a low skill area. It may be difficult for him to qualify.
You can put his information into this calculator and it will tell you if he qualifies. www.canada.ca/en/…/check-score.html#wb-cont

No we’re not. You’re not entitled to our attention.
You can do whatever you want. I think the message is clear that there is limited support for AI here. So if you choose that as your “medium” it may meet with limited traction.

Average can mean so many things. A lot of people want it to be synonymous with mean as a measure of central tendency, but there’s a reason data people use mean. It avoids folk definitions meaning typical or expected. In those senses it can also be synonymous with modal values or an area around the median etc. It’s not a precise word.

We just call that a donation. And it goes through a PAC and it’s legal. The supreme Court has removed all the guard rails so unlimited donations and direct coordination with a PAC is now possible.
