I would support this over another pipeline. I'd rather be able to buy gas and other products made in Canada than export something to re-import the refined thing later.
I do not have a Steam Deck but I do use Linux.
Doesn't it have a Micro SD card slot? That would probably be the least faffing way to copy files.
Aside from that it's just a Linux computer so anything you like; I'm partial to SSH (rsync) for one off or Syncthing to sync folders around. You could also use a magic-wormhole web client, a Windows shared folder (no experience connecting to SMB shares from Linux), or croc (like Magic wormhole but resumable).
Also not a user of pirated game files, but what kind of format are they? If they are EXE files then they won't work when you double click them like on Windows (at least not unless SteamOS went to the effort to configure that). You have to run them with Proton from Steam. I do not know how to do this with things outside Steam but you cauld try adding them to Steam as an external game, then the usual "select Proton" configuration might present itself.
Here is a Gemini summary as well which seems to confirm the claims but take it with a grain of salt; I'm not going to read the whole 80 page report.
The Final Report on the Bearspaw South Feedermain (BPSFM) failure outlines a history of systemic gaps in risk management and governance that left Calgary’s water system vulnerable. While a physical pipe failure occurred in June 2024, the panel concluded the root causes were organizational and cultural. The Root Causes
- Known Risks, Deferred Action: The risk of failure in the 1970s-era concrete pipe (PCCP) was identified as early as 2004, yet inspections and mitigation were repeatedly deferred in favor of other priorities.
- Fragmented Accountability: No single leader had end-to-end accountability for the Water Utility; core functions were split across multiple City departments.
- Low Redundancy: The BPSFM is a "single point of failure" carrying 60% of Calgary's water. Current system capacity cannot meet average daily demand (ADD) if the BPSFM or the Bearspaw Treatment Plant goes offline.
- Cultural Issues: A culture of "consensus-driven" decision-making led to a high tolerance for risk and a pattern of deferring difficult infrastructure choices. Urgent Recommendations (Crisis Mindset) To address the immediate risk of another catastrophic failure, the panel recommends:
- Emergency Repairs: Proactively repair or reinforce approximately 20 weakened pipe segments that show high wire-break counts.
- Accelerated Construction: Complete the steel pipe duplication of the BPSFM in 12–14 months (down from a 2029 target) using emergency procurement.
- Pressure Monitoring: Install transient pressure monitors immediately to prevent surges that could rupture weakened pipe. Near-Term Structural Reforms The panel proposes a three-step overhaul to be implemented within 12 months:
- Dedicated Water Department: Consolidate all core utility functions under a single Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Water with segmented financial statements.
- Expert Oversight Board (WUOB): Establish an independent board of five technical and financial experts to provide Council with unbiased advice on reliability and multi-decade planning.
- Future Corporatization: Within 36 months, transition the Water Utility into a Municipally Controlled Corporation (MCC) (similar to EPCOR), wholly owned by the City but managed with the discipline of a private utility. Next Step Would you like me to provide more detail on the specific financial targets or the proposed 12-month implementation roadmap?
Title is somewhat misleading. Apparently these deaths were "potentially associated with the bug".
HackerNews commenters also note that the documentation provided by these meters explicitly call out that the user needs to be mindful of extreme readings and relate them to how they feel; then using a prick meter to check in situations where the reading is questionable. They also call out that the bug isn't on the side of the measurement scale near "death if incorrect reading" but on the "could be bad if not corrected long term" side.
So it's unlikely these deaths are all directly related to this bug.
Though obviously this is still bad, shame on Abbott, just not click-baity bad.
I love when things are named by the public. I think this should be done more often (but limited to local participants) to show the culture of the area in the names of things.
Calgary, AB, Canada held a content for Snowplow names. I would love if all the city busses had fancy names :p https://engage.calgary.ca/namethesnowplow
Thank you.
I wish there was one article that had all this info instead of basically nothing like the CTV article -_-
I would probably pay for a news site that provided simple and verifiable information and links elsewhere like that rather than wordy writeups and crappy summaries or stolen videos.
I was worried enough about buying a used car in five years, thanks. Nov I have to worry about having the shit infotainment systems that were disappearing on top of having to pay a subscription to release my parking breaks??
FYI the picture doesn't match the data given on the page; I went with the data by both sexes rather than the picture.
No, we are the 20th. Order by life expectancy both sexes, count down, next page, count down. We are 20th. The picture doesn't agree with the data so I am using the data on the page rather than the picture.
21st? Isn't it 20th by both sexes?
But yes, I read the picture like a derp so updated the title. :|
Nope, counted down the column wrong. More like a couple dozen so I changed the title.
If you sort the search results by life expectancy both sexes, Canada is twentieth.
