Me at work: "Oh man, it's got to be close to 10:40am already" The actual time: 9:16am

Always good when you call a contractor and they're immediately "Ohhhh, yeah, that'll be a tough/expensive job. The ground in that area is like drilling through cement".

1. Likely issue with laptop graphics driver and/or HDMI port means my monitor randomly goes green 2. Can't fix issue using Windows or AMD Adrenalin 3. Reinstall graphics driver 4. Not fixed 3. Download Display Driver Uninstaller which needs Windows safe mode 4. Windows 11 won't boot into safe mode

What a year for Slafkovsky

Softball draft day. Hoping my coaches draft a power hitter this year.

My #LastFourWatched films for #LetterboxdFriday 📽️

This headline sums up #HamOnt really well www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Making a thing.

I've been pulling all my old project files, school work, platform backups, freelance writing, etc. into Obsidian. The graph view sure is something now.

hi if you’re canadian and you hate the horrible LED headlights that are way too bright you have until april 20th (blaze it) to complain to transport canada about it in this survey

The new Hunger Games trailer features the song 'Love, Reign o'er Me' by The Who because the main character is actually playing a young version of The Who's Roger Daltrey.

Huh. So @teamcovenant.com is trying a neat thing, offering demo decks for three different card games for only the cost of shipping, comparing it to the PlayStation demo discs back in the day. Consider checking out a great deal! (sidenote: Warlord is my jam) -- www.teamcovenant.com/games/warlor...

This is a *very* niche ask. So, they make adapters that pass a standard 34-pin floppy drive to USB. Which means you could use them with a modern machine. Apple's old internal 1.44MB floppy drives used a 20-pin cable though. Anyone know if someone somewhere put together a USB adapter for those?

Needed to discharge a CRT and had to "make" a tool to do it. Basically spent the process thinking "wow, this sure seems like a sketchy solution".

Some would say they were Hungary for change

Bought a pack of eggs and there were two double yolks in it. Pretty sure this is the closest I've come to winning the lottery.

Preeeeeetty good company.

Had an impromptu pre-season/pre-draft softball practice. Going from zero softball since October to 2+ hours of softball leaves me thinking I'm going to be reaaally sore tomorrow.

Curling tonight. If we win, we move on to the semi-finals tomorrow. This will be the first time our full team will be playing together through these playoffs rounds, as we were short for three games and had a spare for the fourth game. 🥌

The 4th floor at work smells overwhelmingly of WD-40, and I honestly love that.

I keep thinking of the Economist article this week that said 'Donald Trump’s approval rating has sunk to Joe Biden’s lowest point', and that really says a lot about America as a whole.

Been slowly trying to de-Google my services, so I installed Immich on my home server today. It's basically self-hosted Google Photos and it's amazing.

I know we were broadcasting live from the moon in 1969, but I still think it's wild that we can stream video from Artemis II. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3kR...

On day 5 of a sinus-migraine thing and 🎶I'm feeling great 🎶

Windows: "File paths can't be more than 260 characters in order for compatibility with Windows 7, etc." Me: "But I can enable a long path setting to get around this in Windows 11?" Windows: "Yes" Me: "This means I can move my files now?" Windows: "Oh no, Windows Explorer doesn't support this."

I released a scenario (map) for Sins of a Solar Empire 2. You can download it directly in-game or via Mod.io mod.io/g/sins2/m/th...

My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday

Another win for (food) science.

I did my MEd at Memorial U with some classes at Cape Breton U. I recently found a post that I wrote at the time (2015). "To properly sum up how it's going so far, this is one of the course descriptions. AOLpress was discontinued in 2000. I'm going to learn me some sweet sweet HTML 3.2 standards."

Watched Transporter 3 (2008) yesterday. Quality aside (terribly directed), it features: - Ukraine - A villain saying "In the words of the great American Donald Trump" - A hacker saying "Would you like to see the [CIA] invasion plans for Iran?" And in April 2026, that all seems a little too much.

"That's why we stuck Copilot into Excel. We know what gamers want, and it's the excitement of Excel functions combined with the entertaining joy of Copilot."

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

Will the NDP emails end now?

"Weeks"

Do *you* have a squirrel named Frank who curls up at your back door like a cat?

Saw Hamilton Pro Wrestling's 'Spring Slam VII" at the Germania Club here in #HamOnt. This is the second live wrestling event I've ever attended, and it was a hilarious blast.

That quiet moment of self-reflection when the barkeep at your local hang knows your order before you even say it.

Tiger woods now has a 4:5 car crash/green jacket ratio.

Given the UK, Germany, California, Utah, etc. are all in on this, I'm not sure what's taking Canada so long. Was a good idea before, and seems like a great idea given everything happening now. www.solarpowerportal.co.uk/residential-...

Lol, $900 CAD for a base PS5. What the heck is a PS6 going to cost then?

On any given day America is either an absurdist nightmare or an absurdist dream.

We're in the curling playoffs right now. We've played 3 of our 5 pre-seeding games so far, and we've been shorthanded for each. It's uh...it's been something. 🥌

This is the tale of my slumlord neighbour. In June of 2021, a month after I buy my place, he buys the place next door. He spends roughly 10% more than me, despite it not having a furnace or duct work. It's got this (likely) 50+ year old wall furnace.

The FCC have said they aren't going to approve any new foreign made consumer routers. And uh, I don't believe there's any domestic router manufacturing in the US? www.fcc.gov/document/fcc...

I'm just sad Gilbert Gottfried didn't live long enough to be cast in the Moana remake.
