Back to this. we are seeing a plateauing. That could be good. But it could also just suggest the gauge has topped out and we have hit the "water goes everywhere" stage earlier than anticipated, which would suggest a bigger -- or at least an earlier -- peak than anticipated.

This gauge is suggesting the river is peaking below major flood level. That would be good. But the fact the river is overflowing at Everson suggests that the calibration of the gauge could turn out to have been miscalibrated. The overflow levels we can see don't quite match this.

My husband and I, both PhD Physicists, moved to Canada from the USA 20 years ago. It was one of the best decisions we ever made. I would be happy to answer questions about moving here. 🇨🇦

Damn it! I am as frustrated with Spotify as the next person, but they just added music videos on the TV app and I’ve been pining for this (I know Tidal has it but I can’t get my family to switch). Now playing: Bloom Baby Bloom by Wolf Alice — incredible video! #wolfalice #spotifywrapped2025

This is horrifying. Please, please drive safely. Tonight I witnessed a driver on his phone while driving
5 people have been killed on the roads in Metro Vancouver in the last week, including a driver, a cyclist, and 3 pedestrians, one of whom was a young child. Each of them had lives, families and friends, aspirations and potential that will not be realized. Each of them could have been me, or you.

We are cursed by convenience
The totally broken modern world means that if I want to order something online and it will not arrive at my house within a few short days my instinct is that I should settle for something worse because I must have my needs met immediately.

Jesus, this is bleak
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
