OH MY

So the US is bombing Iran for lulz.

In short:

• No nuclear program destruction
• No regime change
• No Strait of Hormuz plan

Our stance is clear we support the war the US isnt having, and thats why we wont be participating in offensive operations

They're both quite elderly. Sounds like they've been together a long time.

They're still talking normally so 🤷‍♂️

Couple talking in a restaurant

Her, "If you held a celebration of life for me, would you book the whole restaurant?"

Him, "A whole restaurant, you expect that many people?"

Me, trying not to snort out loud...

This is closer to what I see.

Though cropping it isn't quite right.

Huh. Taking a picture of downtown Calgary also has the moon effect. It's much larger live than how the picture shows.

Meteorites scattered across a blue-ice moraine in Antarctica’s Miller Range.

They’re easier to find here because glaciers act like slow conveyor belts, carrying meteorites toward mountain ranges where wind strips away the snow and exposes the ice.

Swirls aside, what are we actually seeing here? Pretty much every single dot in the image is NOT a star, but a supermassive black hole (SMBH) millions of light years away, feeding on dust. The little "bow ties" (marked a few here) are SMBH launching jets of material thousands of light years! 🔭🧪

Alnitak, the bright star in the image, is the easternmost star (on the left from the N hemisphere) of Orion's belt and is about 1260 ly away.

Just behind it at about 1360 ly are the Flame and Horsehead nebulae. Both are part of the muc larger molecular cloud known as the Orion Complex. #astronomy

It's the Canadian way.

So Canada's team in that sense. 😈

The Leafs are so checked out that they surrender the puck every time they think they might get hit

Grammarly stealing identities is a puzzling strategy for two reasons.

A) Lying and theft as a business strategy. Openly.
B) I thought the whole point of AI was not needing human identities.

He could have saved himself so much grief if he'd just said this a week ago.

"I worked my way up from admin assistant to senior vice president in less than a year. My dad's company is proof that upward mobility is possible with just a bit of hard work."

Calgary has buses? 😉

Driving around last couple of days I hardly see any.

It'd be one of the great ironies if Iran did the world a favour and eliminated Donald Trump.

Is Wiarton Willie truly beloved outside Wiarton?

Large painting, 27x30, horizontal, hanging on a paint splattered studio wall. The painting is of trees lining a lake, reflected in the water. The trees are green, the sky and water are blue. The style of the painting is very hazy and soft.

I'm working on two very different pieces of art in two locations. Each one tickles a different part of my brain.

Cambridge property owner blindsided by nearly $700 sidewalk snow-clearing bill A Cambridge landlord says she was shocked to receive a nearly $700 bill from the city for sidewalk snow clearing at one of her rental properties.

I'm surrounded by investment properties that don't clear their sidewalks. Owner next door lives in Toronto! and the sidewalk's hardly ever shovelled. 🫤

It's a business: either hire someone to clear it, force your tenants to do it via contract, or do it yourself.

Just saying that the fact that auto manufacturers that have been making cars for over 100 years and still make them with defects requiring recalls causes me to doubt their ability to consistently issue OTA software/firmware updates for those same vehicles.

‘It’s just a lot to continue to pile on’: downtown Ayr deals with fallout from fire and flood It has been a difficult seven days for people who live and work in downtown Ayr.

In the "Totally Unexpected" category, my rental car kept nagging me to install a software update every time I put it into park. OK fine. It's not mine, so I did it and...

... it did not "Blue Screen"/"Brick" the automobile.
