I wonder how hot it gets 10 ft below grade? You probably depressurize and shut in and monitor pressure to ensure no thermal expansion issues.

Probably zero change at all. At a cottage we had a blazing 10 hour fire, the next morning we cleaned it up and ants were living happily less than a foot underneath. Heat doesn't move down easily. The only risk for them would be at risers and surface facilities along the line.

Just a second here. You had a vacation property somewhere?

Interesting.

Think of how small the upcoming tax cut would be if the province was still funding wildfire management at acceptable levels.

What's smaller than zero?

No, sorry, I meant it "at a cottage," "we had a fire", not "at a cottage we had". Poor sentence, my bad. It was a family friend's place, and since this is a hockey forum, it used to be owned by the goalie for the Bruins from the '80's or something. There, now it's relevant.

I got that it may not have been your cottage but it could be read as the cottage was on fire for 10 hours.

Haven’t seen any of his tweets for 2-3 weeks. I’ll have to check if I’m blocked. Doubtful; he doesn’t block anyone.

That tweet I shared is a retweet of his.

He is still going on about vaccines and treason.

Not hot at all, the issue isn’t with the pipeline underground. You have above ground valve assemblies, pumping stations and electrical infrastructure which you do not own but is your lifeblood. Those are your risks, with electricity being the biggest one.

This week as the premier discussed some tough topics, including answering questions pitched in my last column, Smith revealed some good news.

“There will be a tax cut coming sooner than we had initially expected,” says the premier.

"Sooner than we expected" is a fun way of saying "way ####ing later than the election promise we made."

CEOs only, but the trickle down will help everyone!

Is there others who caught this as well? The Reddit threads I see use this clark as the source too.

Though the 2:52 timestamp lends credibility as the current Smith post is time stamped 3:15.

So...maybe she didn't have such a deep personal connection to Jasper that would lead her to get all choked up after all? God she sucks.

She couldn’t see the picture through her tears. An honest mistake!

I've been crying a lot lately, too. But it's just because of the smoke.
