The sheer audacity of this giant banana. Banana for scale.

Do any of you crack an egg by doing a little tap on the counter and then separating it with your hands? I did that this morning and the entire shell immediately separated and the liquid egg fell on the counter. Not a great start to the day.

Just caught myself doing a double space after a period. Glad I caught that one...it's a hard habit to break. I took a typing class in grade 11. That was back in 1992 -- and on an actual (electric, at least) typewriter. That shit sticks with you.

Happy New Year! #happynewyear #newyearsday #happynewyear2026

My experience of owning an EV in some of the coldest, snowiest months of 2025, versus my old Honda Accord. #ElectricVehicles #ClimateChange #ev #ioniq5 https://chadohman.ca/three-months-of-owning-an-ev-in-alberta/

I think it's time to reorganize my closet. I just found something that I thought I had lost 5 years ago after a trip.

I went to visit my dad at his assisted living home today (advanced Alzheimer's), and there were about 8 octogenarians all sitting in the common room watching WWE Raw. I definitely did not expect that.

Merry Christmas! #merrychristmas #christmas #christmas2025

@pachli Is there a way to import and export settings so I can synchronize between the main Pachli release and current release?

Honestly never though we would see old media like Warner Bros. get subsumed by a streaming company. Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros. for $83 billion https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/netflix-will-acquire-warner-bros-in-83-billion-deal-discovery-will-be-split-off/ar-AA1RKOD1

1:07pm. Multiple cop cars were flying down Caldwell Road. Anyone in the know about this?

You may or may not be aware that there is an ongoing search (since May) for two missing kids in Nova Scotia that could possibly have been swept away by a river, though there is suspicion of nefarious activity. I just watched a CBC news article about the search and the guy organizing everything […]

Tonight's beverage: Mongo's Sweet Revenge Gingerbread Brown Ale from North Brewing (6.2% AbV).

My wife and daughter are travelling to the U.S. (Florida) next week Yes, I know... Both she and I would rather they not have to go, but this is for an event for my daughter and the trip was planned like a year ago. Has anyone recently traveled by air to the U.S.? What's it like these days? None […]

What a great day I'm having. I ground coffee into a non-existant container and then after thinking my son forgot his lunch on the counter, I nearly delivered him a old lunch container full of moldy grape stems and a thermos that we will probably have to throw out. I don't think that lunch had […]

Accidentally discovered that an item that I've bought multiple times from Amazon is being drop-shipped from Costco by the seller because this time I actually got a shipping notification from UPS saying it was shipped by Costco! I'm already a Costco member and I could have spent ~$20 less EACH […]

Can't believe I almost didn't post this

My dog goes fully apeshit every single time a trick-or-treater comes to the door.

Manning the door tonight while my wife takes my son out trick-or-treating. Blasting Orbit Culture's new album, but passing it off to kids as "spooky Halloween music" https://youtu.be/YPTAlZOH0jU

Happy Halloween! #happyhalloween #halloween #halloween2025

I just heard that a friend of mine's dad passed away a few days ago. He lost his mom only 6 months ago. I can't even imagine what he's going through.

Emergency alerts really need to have separate sounds for "emergency ongoing" and "emergency ended". I don't need to have the shit scared out of me by my phone to learn that there's no longer an emergency.

Fully waterproof jackets are useless without waterproof pants lest you look like you wet yourself when you make it back inside.

You can't look at this bush and tell me it's not fall.

There are people walking through this grocery store with a caged ferret in their cart. First time I've ever seen that

Wait... Does "no kings" include Burger King?

Don't get lead poisoning from your protein powder, folks. Yikes. https://www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein-powders-and-shakes-contain-high-levels-of-lead-a4206364640/

I'm sure this won't go poorly.

I feel like every day more and more of my text history with my wife is just news articles about another celebrity dying. RIP Ace Frehley https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/kiss-guitarist-ace-frehley-dead-1235448770/

So, the "limited edition" Taylor Swift vinyl version of *The Life of a Showgirl* is for sale by the crate at... Costco

Still haven't watch *Morbius*. Doubt I'll watch *Tron: Ares*. Do some people enjoy Jared Leto?

Saw a large number of these guys over the weekend at my in-laws' cottage in central Nova Scotia. My father-in-law thought they were stink bugs, but Google says they're "seed bugs". https://www.google.com/search?q=brown+marmorated+seed+bug&ie=UTF-8

Water level in the lake is the lowest I've ever seen it. Use that tree in the left foreground for reference

Almost certainly our last time at the cottage this year. It was a little bit chilly, but what a great day! And look at these colours!

What is the plan for the rest of the world here? Many countries rely upon guidance provided by the CDC. Are we going to have to resort to an underground science network to disseminate infectious disease information? https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/cdc-rfk-jr-shutdown-layoffs-goal-rcna237035

Since removing the tolls for both the Halifax Harbour bridges, the number of vehicles has gone up by 10% while the number of collisions has dropped by **40%** <-- that's huge! Maybe it was worth doing after all...just not for the reasons that they did it […]

Ahhhhh! Not again!

Anyone who isn't a Home Assistant user can ignore this one. Anybody know if there a way to pass a previous conversation ID to a second `ai_task`? I couldn't find any mention of it in the documentation. Conversation ID was only mentioned as being a part of the response variable […]

I just had an entire sleeve of Arrowroot cookies (crackers?) for lunch. I regret nothing.

It's hilarious that he thinks making it less convenient to travel there is going to fix anything. https://flipboard.com/@cbcnews/top-stories-01r3k2ttz/-/a-xwAU_pCRT8mrtZmZHEnRaQ%3Aa%3A107108217-%2F0

So, I guess I'm horribly out of the loop because I just learned that Canada Post workers have recently been on strike. I had absolutely no idea.

Personally, I can't wait for the rapture. You're telling me that all the prosthetyzing zealots will be disappeared? Is there a petition I can sign?

Why is it hotter in my (home) office now, in almost-October than it has been all summer?
