One inch sensor in a phone is incredible. Hope that tech makes it over here

The other day a jeep wrangler swiped my car in a parking lot and drove off. I wasn't there but a kind bystander saw it and left their number and the offenders license plate. The damage wasn't small, but also small enough for me to shrug off because it's a 2014 golf wagon and in the end it's just a car.

But the hit and run pissed me off enough that I reported it. The cops found the driver who will be ticketed now and their insurance will go up. If they fessed up I'd have let it slide.

At least your dude fessed up. And yes, they'd all have a much easier time parking if they chose a sensible car.

I have a seriously hard time believing there's anyone dumb enough to buy that

This is a dumb policy and I too hate the UCP, but what does this have to do with Calgary specifically?

This is interesting. On the one hand, seems great that such a cast area will be redirected and protected. On the other, it's being done by a private company to offset terrible activities. And while a big area, on the global scale it seems tiny.

It sort of makes clear that credits, even when followed, are not going to be enough to solve climate change.

I feel like we (or the US at least) is past the point of being able to have a common enemy. Covid should have been a rallying cry. It wasn't. Putin's war should have universal condemnation, it doesn't. politics, especially in the US but also elsewhere, prevent us from seeing a common threat. It's obviously also the case with climate change, even moreso.

Unless the enemy is wearing a turban and flies a plane into a building, I'm not sure what woild inspire a wartime-like effort in the US.
