Brake wear and the need to regularly adjust was a surprise for me. Not insurmountable, just pops up multiple times during my riding season.

The forgotten story behind Calgary's CTrain free fare zone | The Sprawl Why do we have it in the first place?

Wait... we know all this back in 1977?!

β€œBecause of this we mostly use 3,000-pound machines to carry one 150-pound person to work or to get a loaf of bread at great expense.”

Working on a few post about the realities of using an iPod in 2026 VS the fantasy. I think they’ll well worth the extra effort and the little quirks they come with, but there is certain trade offs you end up making.

Isn't it just? Feels like a Challengers Mixed situation.

Boys Noize has been such a shot in the arm for this era of NIN.

I'll say it again, Nine Inch Nails has always been a techno band at heart, I'm glad they're done pretending otherwise.

Nine Inch Nails is pretty much a straight up techno act these days... I'm 100% absolutely here for it.

In an effort to stop freebasing all of the <gestures generally around> I’m revisiting the golden age of internet music, the iPod era from the first iPod to the first iPhone.

What are your standout albums from 2001-2007 I should include?

My official recommendation at this point is we shut the internet down, and return to Shockwave CD roms.

The greatest evidence that we are in fact living in a simulation is that there is neither a correct nor incorrect way to say the name of this condiment.

Watching the Superb Owl in Canada means having local markets ads subbed in over the block buster celebrity ads the US gets.

In my home town growing up the local cable company would sub really low rent local businesses during the big game.

Cheers to non-alcoholic beer (and other alcohol free options). Because never being hungover is a freaking super power.

I had $18 mocktails on vinyl.

Catherine O'Hara was a national treasure, I first fell for her in Home Alone, but her performance Schitt's Creek was her Magnum opus.

So long Moira, and thanks for all the gifs.

Saw Motherhood last night in my favourite dingy bar basement. They are _exactly_ the quirky escapist band I needed to discover right now.

My minimalist phone screen launcher has the bones of gamification built into it somewhere. On occasion it will flash glimpse my "streak" for using the app then immediately hide the feature in shame.

But like.. why did they build that in the first place?!

The need to embrace boredom. Regaining focus in the age of brain rot.

Looking to supercharge your focus & flow states? You need to embrace boredom.

Our brains are like sponges for information, yet they’re currently being drenched 24/7 with a firehose, and unsurprisingly we’ve hit the ceiling on absorption power..

A couple years back I switched my cat over to a corn based litter that is materially less dusty then clay based litters.

While my house is cleaner now, I must contend with the little dummy snacking on her litter when it’s fresh from the bag.

Cats are truly gross.

Opting out means buying in. Why we really ought to start paying for music again.

Folks are up in arms about streaming royalties and the majority of artist being demonetized. But the fact is music fans voted for this when we told artist their work was essentially worth nothing.

But we can vote with our wallets again.
