Me chowing down on worm proteins so Marky can have his big boat

Development is time intensive, capital intensive, and extraordinarily risky. It is not “guaranteed profit”

“Our historic budget is the greatest thing ever to happen to this province” Ok but when you read it you wonder how anyone came to that conclusion

Imagine being the PR/GR rep who told the Air Canada CEO it is impossible to be solemn in French.

Sorry officer, I can’t pull over because I’m currently driving too fast!

A deadline is when you can extend something without consequence That’s why it is called a deadline and not an inflexible line. The dead means it is much less strict, everyone knows this.

“I fucking make really big buildings happen” he mutters to himself as he’s humbled by an improperly and unsafely wired but far too properly secured junction box

Post two random photos from your camera roll! Must be entirely random! No cheating

This is a standard device for electricians and building inspectors that detects if an outlet is setup properly Something they can’t test? Lighting fixtures. I opened up a lighting fixture in my house to find it horribly setup I now have spec for an Arduino prototype. Working model in about a month

Coffee shops will be like “NO LAPTOPS!!! 😤😤😤” And then the hours are 10am to 3pm Mon-Fri

Daniel Tate is specifically harassing Councillors of colour and then using very human reactions to his abhorrent behaviour to weaponize the tools of the state against these Councillors. I will be monitoring his pre-election and election activities closely archive.ph/sAxEJ

Freezing rain, no biking Uber wanted $27 Lyft gave me a win back promo and the ride is $3.99

I, personally, would not view a devastating, expensive war with no exit strategy that pisses off my allies as a BATNA

Follow up: Does he realize Canada treating American workers as fairly as the US has treated Canadian workers is… a downgrade in level of service, respect, and accommodation?

Insisting on tilting your economy seat all the way back is the most short man cope. It is always someone 5’4 who thinks they’re entitled to an additional amount of my legroom.

It’s going to be a wild year for those people that do the “year in review” hype videos for Q1 conferences.

UFC is going to invent the “Presidential World Peace Heavyweight” class and make their President the inaugural and reigning champion of the world when they do the White House PPV. Mark my words.

Peace is when you bomb little girls…

Them: “Reducing fossil fuel reliance is woke BS” > a distant shipping channel temporarily closes Also them: “the sky is falling, please bail us out. This is insane. Do something!” If your transportation is solely reliant on a volatile commodity you’re going to have a bad time

Right now, unfolding around us on a global scale, is a rich and unambiguous lesson on the dangers of fossil fuel dependence. The most obvious solution is for the affected countries to reduce their dependence through clean energy. Are you seeing that message in media?

I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. His top down urban planning was making everyone hate his austere towers in parks. Doctor says, “Treatment is simple. Great architect Le Corbusier is building a new city. Go and see him” Man bursts into tears, “But doctor...”

Software QA will test -1, 0, 99999, -10e42, {#} But you rarely see policymakers edgecase their polices “Ok we want to pardon Jan 6 people” “Ok test all CounterStrike dialogue lines. Any of that happened?”

I think you should switch your ISP or phone plan. You. Yes, this message is for you. It is never a bad time to shop around for a better rate.

It is abundantly clear that Americans have been taught an entirely different history of both World Wars and most conflicts (they started) to date. Claims like “Canada barely fought in WW2” et, al. Such demonstrable brainrot brought on by self-absorbed narcissism and unreliable narration in media

Gil Penelosa is wrong I feel much less connected to the city around me living in a house My whole world is materially smaller, constrained to a narrow view In a tower I could see all the comings and goings of the city and her residents, You understood the ebbs, flows, weather, sunrise/set

Everyone’s favourite thing: metered utilities

Chipotle was founded by a white guy who wanted to make Mexican-ish food and charge gringo pricing We crossed some kind of line because now like every taco is $6 :/

Boomers when there’s housing with any marginal heritage attributes (it old) near transit

Believe the game being described is called Risk, not Chess.

Seriously. If we want more people to bike we do need stations that have bikes in the morning.

Them: “Toronto is a low property tax city” Me: comforting myself with that fact as I schedule my second $900 payment to City of Toronto, 5 weeks into homeownership.

We’re back to “your local bike share is 0 bikes by 7:45am” season Congrats to all who celebrate

“Fall backwards” should always be in a weekend. However there’s literally zero reason why “Spring Forward” can’t be 4pm on a Friday.

Why is every condo property manager like that? Every building, same weird ass attitude towards residents.

Yea totally, anyway here’s all the daycares in close proximity to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas You’ll notice some are INSIDE the base, along with many other amenities like 2 golf courses, family-sized base housing, and a Burger King

I, incorrectly, was under the impression that Congress had to approve wars. But that does not seem to be the case for, at minimum, the past 3 wars the US has started,

“Congrats on saying the biggest number you fucking morons” - L to the OG

The most unrealistic parts of Monopoly is you can intensify properties without having to sit out multiple turns or pay CBCs. I need an upgraded version of monopoly that allows for rezoning without building, significantly higher densities, and Neighbourhood protections for properties X years old

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I know a number of people at different clearance levels across the US, Canada, 5 Eyes, and NATO. All independently suggested to me that HW was likely the last president to know all the secrets.
