911 also gets automated calls from alarms, some of which are false alarms.

Just like social media, 911 is also stuffed with bots.

You're assuming he has brain material left.

It's chewy brain-jerky for zombies

Okay, but were other companies blacklisted for similar leaks?

Wait... you're going to the National Museum of African American History and Culture (founded in 2003, signed into law by George W. Bush) and you're shocked that there was - somewhere in the 400k square foot building - a chart of stereotypes about white people next to a chart of stereotypes about black people?

My thought as well.

Sure enough,

"OLAP". Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Obviously NYT is just about narrative construction but it would be nice to know some figures like:

* what is that in percentage of researchers?
* and grants
* how many are typical in a year?
* what is the net in each direction for this time period?
* and for a typical year

I happen to know rwo researchers who got a position in Canada and several Canadians who got positions at US schools. That just seems normal from my limited perspective but maybe it's just because I feed them Molson and poutine so they keep coming around.

Remember, numbers given without percentages and percentages given withouts without numbers are always propaganda.

I'm sure you'd be welcome if you ever wanted to - you're already ideologically highly aligned (and never really were with the US...) :) Honestly, economically and geopolitically it'd be a very strong alliance for both parties, as what Canada offers vs. what it needs is a good match for what the EU offers vs. what it needs. Though admittedly both parties need to rearm fast - but the EU has a lot more resources to do that than Canada has on its own. Canada has raw materials, EU needs them. Canadian automakers/parts suppliers need an alternative market, EU can provide it, etc.

Shifting eastward wouldn't be frictionless - for example, your oil infrastructure is designed to send it south, not to ports that can export it to the east, and European refineries would need to set up to process it, for example. But it's pretty clear that the current status quo can no longer be relied on, as the US is intent on extortion.

They're certainly trying. I was listening to an exoplanets researcher the other day (in response to "How are scientists adjusting the way they work during the Trump administration?") grumble about how they're afraid to use the phrase "diversity of exoplanets" in their work because of a (well-grounded) fear that having the word "diversity" will get their paper flagged for rejection. This sort of environment is toxic.

(My favourite response was "Spell it 'divers' and throw in the occasional 'thou art' and 'exeunt' " ;) )

Serious Zalgon 26 McGee vibes there ;)

Yes, I'm sure children in poor countries who may or may not read English are desperate to get ahold of, say, an obscure 1993 book on VCR repair.

These are books that are unsold for a reason.

It's a testament to the interplay of words that forms the tapestry we call language!

But leaving out a comma can certainly make sentences more fun ;)

Anyway, let's eat Grandma.
