Most of the mercury that ends up in the environment due to coal is from emissions that happen when it is burned. It settles all over the land and eventually gets washed into the ocean.
Building renewables does not solve this problem; only ending the use of coal will do that. For now, worldwide coal use remains near record highs.
Right-wing lunatics get elected -> things get worse -> people vote for neoliberals who promise to make everything better -> things fail to get better -> Conservatives promise to go even harder this time -> repeat forever.
There was a neat little meme going around illustrating the cycle and pointing out which part of it Canada, the UK, and the USA were in, but I can't find it right now.
Okay everybody, protest over. Time to go home. Thousands of you have travelled hundreds of miles to be here but there's no other choice. A Nazi was spotted scurrying around on the outskirts and the TV cameras found him.

(edit: lwn has a comment that explains it. Sounds pretty good for those of us who enjoy font and geometry rendering from the '80s.)
A perfect chance for the NDP to do what it does best and completely miss another opportunity.
Why stop there? Ouija coding takes the "science" and the "computer" out of computer science.
Have you tried mastodon? Pleroma? Misskey? Akkoma? None of them have pointlessly complicated nonsense like "NFC" or whatever but all of them let you share things with a small group of friends and have control over who can see whatever you post. There are people using fedi like that. You may find it difficult to find them, for obvious reasons. But if you and your friends want to start doing it there's nothing stopping you.
Only if they do something really crazy like willingly using Microsoft Teams.
manufacturers could add support for the new key by updating the KEK database
Oh right, the KEK database. They are literally trolling us aren't they.
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a repatriate full of cryptobiotes.
