Observations from an infrequent transit user: So this SkyTrain, it gets pretty busy huh? I don't know much, but are you not supposed to let people off the train before trying to get on? Why register your Compass Card when you can enter your 20 digit num and payment info each time you need to top up?

Any road, bridge, pinch point where buses are not prioritized is policy failure. Yes we are full of policy failure.

Just had a stern but just interaction with a product vendor to a feature that does not work as intended, and they conveniently failed to mention this shortcoming. I like this KB platform and trying to steer my clients towards it, but when I have to do their QC I get not happy.

Sometimes you use a Kraft singles even when you have aged cheddar at home.

I’m curious, and maybe you know the answer - is Sto:lo a generic term for rivers or is it the specific name of only this river?

Was in Winners the other day with my kid looking at their "art" offerings. Found one cool retro-inspired racing poster - was supposed be either a remake or an homage - but on closer look, looked to be fully AI - had all the hallmarks for AI. Any good recos for legit reprint posters and such? 1/2

"should be done" is terrible English - do not use.

What happened to good looking winter coats? It's all puffers or go home? Are we in a fashion-doesn't-matter, end of days dystopia? Where is my 1980's Sunice?

Great, in addition to Visio guy, I have become PowerPoint guy. These are not "cool guy" tags ngl.

So Royal Mail to Canada Post hand-off means all tracking goes "poof"?

Anyone using Wise to collect international payments (yes legal payments)? Any tips/tricks/gotchas? Just got my first payment from client in Germany and as expected I was charged $15 for the privilege. So looking at options...

Only Microsoft could fuck-up "Teams meeting" option in Outlook. All tech companies can take their AI offers and fly into the sun.

Why is my timeline showing people I'm not following under Following? Has something changed? #bluesky

Got my mandolin, fiddle, and banjo fix tonight at the Anvil Theatre. No AI. Live music is still a thing if we want it to be. #newwest

Somebody bring me a pizza. Gluten free - spinach, black olives, bacon. And none of those delivery apps...I want a friend to do it.

I am declaring myself professionally incapacitated for the rest of the day. A mocktail is in order!

The great thing is once we're dead we won't need 2FA and RSA passcodes.

Why and how did I become a Visio guru?

To have Dec 1 also be a Monday is bullshit. Who do I send my angry letter to?

Shopping for new soccer cleats. Should I go for the ones that will "take my game to the next level", or for "playmakers who redefine the game". I mean I can go either way...

Sunday means getting spanked by Latin United in old-man soccer, followed by late breakfast, long bath, then nap.

okay, time to venture to the western suburbs

@profanity.accountant What the fuck do you got in me? Do your best.

Impressed how David Cochrane did not go easy on Tim Hodgson on the pipeline interview. This is more like it. Fair but tough questions, no softballs. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

No more AB politics in my feed on this lovely Friday afternoon. Kittens only.

"also" is a terrible word to use in technical writing. Stop using it. Also, don't @ me with your hot takes.

I've earned 3 of 6 badges from my 30 minute cybersecurity course. I'm coming for your job @alisambc.bsky.social!

Okay transit nerds, how do I know if I'm on one of the brand new SkyTrains?

Wow, did not see Petition Guy lambasting ABC and Sim and the budget that just passed. The upside down indeed.
