Months ago it was decided to go to Europe during the (Canadian) Spring Break, the transcontinental flight were bought then. Yesterday the accommodations, therefore the final dates in each city, were decided. The plan is done on a spreadsheet, here the one for Europe […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

end-of-year winter celebrations started!

#firstworldproblems #jubilocomplains OpenSteetMaps lied to me.. it seemed like there was a way to continue on the path and cross a stream.... and no... there was no crossing.. the path was not bikable.. the stream is a river...

Someone left some cents worth of a note 🇨🇦 (bill 🇺🇸) behind in the ATM... 😜 But actually #NOT Searching for more I found out • A corner missing, anyone, any store, any bank should take it as a normal note • If more is missing but one has more than 60% of the note […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

late Fall and Winter are grey, wet and (sometimes sad) in the #lowermainland of #BritishColumbia #canada #timelapse #Video

on Saturday I went out to get something from the liquor store.. I mean I went to get a used board game ... I mean I went out to buy fresh veggies.. and saw this raccoon 🦝 ... I was born and raise in a very urban city, so for me seeing wild animals is still an event […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

#firstworldproblems I hate that now one needs 4 clicks to change the visibility of a toot before it was two. display drop-down, select option now, show pop-up, display drop-down, select option, save

Capitalism is broken... even within capitalism itself... I want to buy an audiobook: I own the physical book... and despite having it I would be willing to pay $15CAD 10€EUR for the audiobook. and they just don't sell it in any country... in any format... with or […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

When colonial history, technology adoption, religion, and geographical distances merge without any rules... we get to the current map of using 1,234.56 vs 1.234,56 vs ۱ٰ۲۳۴،۵۶

The company I work for has its services behind #Cloudflare ... the position I have has to do with maintaining the availability of our services... The alarms woke me up at 03h40... and just now at 7:00 everything stabilizes... the worst is that since it was not […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

I've never read the Novel of « #Frankenstein or The New Prometheus» but after seeing DelToro's film two weeks ago in the cinema I was curious to see how close the story in the film was to the book... and although not identical it seems to me it a fair close […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

the person I spend the most time with messages me: «maybe I feel like when I had COVID...» went to the phrama-drawer of the house.. found a COVID test from 2023... it says I don't have such... but of course it's old... I guess i need a new test...

now and then I get tired of “having a condition”

a reservation that requires a credit card number.... As if they can charge me 100 bucks for not being able to go to my reservation. So.. generate a fake credit card number...

In the Canadian pacific coast it rains in #autumn... the city I live on is on a hill...cracking sounds of leaves don't exist... we have leaf-mud on the streets... walking downhill to the subway is a challenge...

changes in the structure of work teams and responsibilities in the office have kept me extra busy the last two weeks... it's starting to stabilize... but they've been the worst base on increase of time demand, changes, fights... in a long time...

the 🦣 mastodon server where my Spanish account is hosted is down... I was about to post something after a week of not doing so... mas.to

Yesterday watching a movie for Halloween… today I guess my responsibility as Canadian is to watch the game…

Fifty years are eighteen thousand two hundred sixty-two and a half days. #50years

he calls himself king... he destroys the white house... we sends the army to fight the citizens... he removes funding from social products... he befriend (other) dictators.... he funds a genocide.. he restarts nuclear weapons testing... when are the owners of guns gonna defend their country […]

The sunrise while biking #photo #photography #sunrise #bridge

yesterday evening was #pumping carving day... three #jackolantern ... the orange the most traditional.. the yellow the silliest .. and the green?

🍝 It's funny that a "hair in the food on the plate" is the to-go example for an unsanitary place to eat.. while in reality a hair is quite... sterile. There are another 23 things that could come from the cooks' bodies that are harder to detect.. and way way worse than a hair.. a piece of dead […]

Yesterday I "played hooky"*, invented an errand to run and went to the movies in the middle of the day... I guess if one comes back to do the work that i would have done is not really skipping one responsibilities.. but it was just easier to go see #Frankenstein by […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

If any Canadian artists out there would like to attempt a design of an appropriately tongue-in-cheek T-Shirt for “ByeChuck.ca”, let me know. Purpose: A humorous campaign to abolish Canada’s connection to the Monarchy. Proceeds would go to website […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

the beauty of #autumn... but the the #foyer is full of leaves for 1 month... Is foyer a Canadianism for the entrance of a house/apartment/flat? #photo #photography #maple

All the (town)houses and apartments I have lived in have been in a complex... I have always shared a wall (and/or a ceiling/floor) with another person. I have never lived in a detached house.

It's hard for me not to pay attention to work messages if "here"... when I've travelled for two weeks, I can forget about work, but a normal day at 18h I find it difficult not to solve something. Some will say I'm workaholic, I think I'm resolverholic. AWS had a […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

If you saw that part of the internet was broken about 8 hours ago, for a period of 3 hours... it was caused by AWS having problems with one of its database systems... Now they've got something again... less serious than 8 hours ago... so some services hosted there may fail again... It kept me […]

Today I had the nice coordination in time to hit the top of the hill in my morning bike ride when the sunrise was painting the sky #biking #bicycle #sunrise #photo #photography #canada #newwestminster

I hate that a big chunk of the English speaking world calls "Australia" the "Oceania" continent... agh!

Today is #CanadianThanksgiving ... if it was me I'd rename it to "harvest festival"... I can clearly understand the want, the need to celebrate the last harvest of the year before the winter... Because Mexico "doesn't have seasons" there's no equivalent in my […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

and suddenly, #autumn

🧠 today my brain is running at 66.66666% of its capacity... it feels a little bit like using a phone with the low power mode enable, everything works, but it's twice as slow 🔋 #epilepsy

I had,a lot of times, look for pineapple jam in Vancouver/Canada ... I had asked many times and so many sellers and friends saw me with a "that doesn't exist" face... and yesterday I found one that came from Pakistan!

The City of New Westminster. Some old building, old for north American west coast standards, 150 years or so... some new buildings.. and in the centre a new building that has an old facade preserved ... #photo #photography #canada #BritishColumbia #newwestminster #Vancouver

🇵🇸🇺🇦🇪🇭 Invaded by the sons-of-bitches to gain access to their resources, to their coast to control their sea... and in the process they use the destruction of cities and cultural identity to achieve their economic goals... genocidal money... 💶💔💵

Today’s ride included a free sunrise at the moment of highest elevation

the world seeing as an illegal state, it breaks international rules with civilians from many "western" countries... of course we've been seeing how they take the land away from their neighbours and we haven't done anything... and something of Ska to accompany though, this song is at least 20 […]
