In a year since the US election NB borders saw 577,000 fewer Canadians coming back from the US. A 32% year over year reduction. But recent months have seen less of a decline in YoY traffic than the peak of the 51st state rhetoric.

Shovel report: surprisingly little total accumulation. Rain I guess took care of a lot if it. Gross wet ice slush mix under the snow and on the roads though so don't necessarily disagree with the cancelation order. What the plow left behind was certainly water logged and very heavy.

Schools be closed

Hobson and Finnagan, first play togethrt

could have watched the entire series of friends 4 times instead

348 hours of training/content delivery this year. 29 unique courses, two of them brand new and self developed, ~270 individuals taught by datawazo. Crazy stuff.

8 days of on site training, with travel, over the last 4 weeks done. Also last training of the calendar year. Celebratory supper of champions.

man the training setup today was a podium and no chair so was on my feet for about 7 hours and this old man is sore as over here.

Wearing shoes indoors is uncivilized and I'll knife fight any and all who disagree

The drive to moncton this morning was pretty gross. The drive back was fine but long. Doing it again tomorrow and wishing I'd stayed the night instead but oh well

Haven't had an actual new client in a while (somewhat by choice) but hoping to get back into growth mode in 2026 and this was a fun start.

I love sushi but it's the worst $ to being filled up ratio and it's not even close

CONGRATULATIONS TO STEVEN CLARK FOR BEING THE RECIPIENT OF THE FIRST EVER DATAWAZO PEACE PRIZE

rowdy ray

new edition of guy dresses like shit last week I was a judge at the data challenge which is USUALLY a mixed bag of people from tech and industry judging but this year was sponsored by vestcor and was entirely suits.

I don't remember doing this but at some point I gave myself a new title when signing up for this event. Interested to see the name card

Nice to see another truck stuck under the bridge so the New England social media dude can feast again

I'm in my 3rd (of 4) sessions teaching a custom course to a different group of people in the same org and in each class someone has said "this is exactly what we need" which credit to the client for pitching this curriculum but is also a great feeling/thing to hear as the instructor

HMV went out of business and moved into ToysRUs which is now closing as well but I hope ToysRUs moves into a furniture store or something so you can go to like Leons and inside theres a mini ToysRUs and inside that there's an even minier HMV

I'm at the mall. I hate it.

don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened, I whimper myself as I leave avatar for the final time of the yeat

One bridge starts on the south side and just loops around tp the Northside with no exits and comes back to the almost exact starting point. It exists soly to fuck with the tourists

my wife is challenging my use of the term nastygram claiming I made it up and it's not real. Can y'all confirm she's, as per usual, culturally out of the know

there's been a chatgpt update that now insists that it respond with at least three images to each question which is both intrusive and likely murdering schools of fish to accomplish nothing. I hate AI man so much

Supper after 4 full training days over the last 5 business days

Current family drama. My parents getting new puppy. Told kid she could name it. Have since fallen in love with name that kid doesn't like. Now bribes flying across messenger to get child on board with name selection.

Every year my desire to celebrate Christmas lessens and my desire to rebel against capitalism grows. This year it might finally win. Everyone will receive a box containing a manifesto. This year give the gift of not extorting yourself for corporate greed. Don't know why the family says om a grinch

Eight fifty for a Terry's chocolate orange fuck right off

More niche than it deserves to be but WhitecapsFC getting some vengeance for the Jays, beating LA to move to the MLS finals

A major healthcare policy paper commissioned by @govnl.bsky.social government from Deloitte at a cost of $1.6 million, cites research papers that don’t exist, making it the second major government policy paper called into question in as many months. #nlpoli #AI theindependent.ca/news/lji/maj...

Hosting our first brunch since getting my new french press and need tips on getting compliments for my level if sophistication. All positive and supportive advice welcome

Unrelated to a health and safety inspection but last time I was at the rogue was for a breakfast outside on a Sunday morning and we sat on right hand side of a patio within earshot of puke hitting the ground as some guy was hurling off the parking garage. Wasn't an amazing dining atmosphere tbh

Genuinely whats the longest uni directional drive you could do in city limits? Like from the dump to sunshine garden during peak traffic is still 35 minutes ish? Mcleod Hill to Kingswood at 7:55 am even if you dumbly take regent street ...maybe 45 mins.

Had to stop in the town of four Os on my way home so decided to do the last stretch via Lincoln instead of highway. Huge mistake, the traffic for Scott's Christmas market is unhinged right now. So many people so little parking.

When you go from city driving to highway driving at the Range ticks upwards

learned today you can ask chatgpt to work in direct analyical mode which means it won't give you all the extra BS positivity and it's insane the difference it makes. But also new guy is kind of a dick.

What are the unfriendliest?

Happy entrepreneurship week. Own a business, in just 8 years you can look like you've aged 21.

Building out content for a class on Tuesday about AI - how to use it but also cautions. One section is on how AI gasses you up. I (easily) got it to agree on the business idea of Ice cream gloves. It was ecstatic at the though of matching human/dog gloves. And I even got this GREAT logo from it

Went to kingwood bowling last night for the first time in probably half a decade. Asked for the paper sheets to track score like an absolute boomer. Wish we had them though as the automated system got it wrong like 30% of the time. Maybe just our lane, as by the end of night it was totally conked.

Big ass bowl of cereal. Usual around 9pm after hours of putting off making anything of substance

Through nothing short of pure cunning I've managed to schedule an in person talk and a date night on the same day. Two events that require a minimum of jeans combined so I only have to do one jean day. This is winning.

attempt 2

They try to leave but they always come groveling back

Definitely biased but that's a harsh red. Ahmed doesn't see him, no intent and the guy sells it. And 6 minutes into a friendly. A reff that wants to be the story line

One of my favorite gym guys is fella doing a prolonged backwards walk on the treadmill

What has me conflicted about the files is there's already so much evidence that he's involved and is a pedo and Maga + gop don't care. So either the files are more of that and everyone shrugs. Or the files are so beyond a smoking gun that something actually changes. Worried it's the former

This morning was 4 back to back meetings from 8:30 - 12 that all required me to present something. THRILLED that it's over, and now going into a 3.5 hour Tableau training delivery, followed by two more meetings. Heck of a day.
