Cut and paste, what is this 1996?

are you sure the US government hasn’t just regressed to a seal surrounded by gibberish?

FYI: nobody is ever going to read a text wall stuffed with emojis.

It's like you didn't even click the previous button to see what this post looks like

I for one liked the third and fourth panels

I bought a bunch of potash stocks at the start of the year and it’s up a lot

Was a good buy all thanks to Trump.

Okay grandpa, now tell us about your magic “t9” and not even looking at your phone while we put you to bed.

(Jk I too am old and I miss physical buttons and when autocomplete didn’t stop you from swearing or rewrite your text 3 words later so it looks like you’re having a stroke)

What if I go to therapy and still do the kubernetes thing?

I also cancelled and use the same services! Qobuz is pretty good, it has a lot of room to improve but it’s keeping me more up to date with music than Apple was.

I got Sync.com (Canadian) instead of iCloud (though iCloud is not fully replaceable). My backup server is in the EU because I use custom borg scripts, but there’s also eazyBackup in Canada.

I own my own domain for email, and I bought my wife one too so she can get off of Gmail.

Add a “reciprocal” US services tax on top.

Elbows the fuck up.

Doug Ford let’s start cranking up that electricity we sell them and they desperately need for their AI. US citizens are already seeing their electricity rates get hiked, let them see what their “dealmaker” delivers.

Government of Canada needs to dump Microsoft completely as European countries are doing. That won’t be easy, but it’s necessary.

And Canadian citizens need to stop fucking ordering off of Amazon.

Let’s start cutting them off our lumber and see how their housing crisis goes. Ours could use the raw materials and manpower.

Let’s cancel those jets, they’re US subsidized, that’s unfair according to the Wizard of Oz down south.

Elbows up is what you do when you’re ready to start knocking out some teeth. I’m ready to take some gut shots if it means standing up for Canada.

Honestly I think they’re just being pissy that their 200 deals and 90 deals in 90 days promises have amounted to almost nothing.

There’s no incentive to negotiate, as you said we already did last time and the very first thing Trump did (after pardoning insurrectionists) was tear up his own fucking “deal”.

 

There was a wind storm two years ago that broke a huge chunk of my tree and left it hanging on. You could probably hang off it and it would not come loose, we tried getting it with ropes but it was wedged in tight between some branches.

Since it was broken pretty high up, surrounded by burdock, and at the back of the lot I just left it.

Today I was helping my wife in the yard clearing the weeds and this time one of the branches pinning it snapped, so I was able to use another branch as a fulcrum and finally took it down.

I’ll cut it up and burn it later — if there’s any good wood I might try carving some.

 

I got a $32 credit for measuring my house and home office space.

 

So today I discovered that there's a cron job that holds non-reproducible state that died, and now our system is fucked.

The cron job doesn't live inside any source control. This morning it entered a terminal state, and because it overwrites its state there's no way to revert it.

I'm currently waiting for the database rollback and have rewritten it in a reproducible/idempotent way.

 

Heard this song on CBC radio today and immediately loved it. It’s lights a fire in my heart, so I thought I’d share it with all of you

 

CBC is releasing their Canada travel bucket list with Rick Mercer and Matt Galloway

 

I've never watched before, but having a good time so far!

Micheal Buble's opening speech was great

 

I made this sketch for my wife, but it got pressed into another charcoal drawing while I was moving stuff around.

Is eraser the best way to fix this?

 

Original title: The Mark Carney era begins with prime minister and new cabinet sworn in today

I don't know if it violates rules that I modified the title from the article, I've seen a lot of questions about when Carney becomes PM and my goal with this post is to increase awareness there.

I'll be watching or listening on CBC today while working.

 

Not sure if this is on topic enough, but I am loving Charlie Angus right now. That Churchill quote is perfect.

Elbows up.

 

Rosetta Stone is also US owned.

I pay for a family plan and share it with a bunch of people. Several are government workers and use it in addition to traditional training, so it is actually an important subscription.

It’s one of my last US subscriptions.

I listen to the CBC daily, today’s Ottawa Morning has FairVote on and it’s been a good segment.

The guest (missed his name) is doing a great job explaining the issue and how proportional representation works.

The clips I think can be relistened to on the CBC Radio app or their podcasts, but I’m not sure how to find them
