Not that it's a competition, but we have 1.2 million hectares burned in British Columbia this year, vs. the 180 thousand for all of EU. I just found the scale remarkable. We just have so much less dense population in BC that the number of people affected in the EU is drastically different. Stay safe everyone.

This happened to my friends. They bought tickets, the flight got cancelled, they never got informed, they continued to get regular flight reminders, including a week before the "flight" and a reminder the night before to check in. They chose not to check in online, went to the airport, and were told at the check in desk that the flight didn't exist. Not just the flight, the route. The route they were flying no longer existed, and they still got notifications. Ridiculous.

Oh, and the kicker... they got emails afterwards asking them to rate the flight!

Agreed, but also eye-witness testimony is notoriously inaccurate.

Whoa... TruckBC. Now my feed feels like home.

This is pretty nuts! I've been in the dark all day so this is the first I'm hearing of it. That's some epic damage.

I saw some articles this morning saying the aurora might be visible starting last (Friday) night, and maybe through the weekend. Just wondering if anyone had success to help me decide if I'll try to see them tonight (since it will have to be quite late.)

"The school board says Beattie has decided to take medical leave. According to school board chair Maya Russell the board does not have the ability to remove a trustee in this case under the School Act, but are requesting she resign immediately."

Does she think she will be able to come back to her job after this?

I want it to hurt them. I want it to fail. But I fear they're doing this now because they've run the numbers and are pretty sure the vocal minority that will leave permanently won't be noticed in a month.

I don't understand how the links are even related. All I missing something?

I think 3 hours in I had only "played" for about 30 minutes, and to me, most of the story at that point was just trying to be as ridiculous and disturbing as it possibly could. Most of the gameplay was just avoiding falling cause dude doesn't know how to walk. I had to go do something else at that point so I quit and never ended up coming back to it.

Maybe if I hadn't gotten it free I might have given it more of a chance, but I definitely wasn't a fan.
