It's always pretty cool to see a game that's been around for a long time get an update out of the blue. Two updates on my list today are #BeatHazard from 2010 and #Cogs from 2009.

A closeup of some cogs, part of a very old Mercedes on display at Mercedes-Benz World in Surrey.

It seems that President Trump's continuing war on climate science is going to adversely affect my own "#Arctic citizen science" work:

https://GreatWhiteCon.info/2025/05/trumps-climate-cuts-affect-the-nsidc/

"I frequently post a summary of the Arctic section of the United States’ National Snow and Ice Data Center’s monthly review of the current state of the #cryosphere.

However, this month I have some additional bad news to report. According to a May 6th 'Level of Service Update for Data Products' from the #NSIDC:

'Effective May 5, 2025, #NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (#NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (#COGS).

As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported.

Sea Ice Index...

If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.'

If you are a resident of the US you may also wish to contact your local friendly neighbourhood politician(s) about the matter?"

The US is starting to feel like an Episode of Blindspot now, with the whole COGS thing, as the reason for the helicopters flight path.

I admit, I don't know how it works in real life, but I guess it can't be too far away from the fictional explanation of COGS being a group of leaders placed in a bunker who will take over should the US government fall.

"Food deserts in Rural Nova Scotia" is an interesting map from #NSCC #COGS - Representing how far people in various locations have to drive to a #supermarket.

There's also one for #Halifax, representing the walking time which is in this article, along with the PDF: https://cca-acc.org/2023-cca-presidents-prize-winner-food-deserts-in-urban-halifax-dartmouth.html
