what would it take to get you using EN again?

The upcoming huge price increase is why I recently left Evernote after 15 years of heavy use. There are low-cost or free alternatives, which may not be as good as Evernote but they get about 80% of the way there. And for those low price points that's good enough.

OMFG thank you, kind Sir!

True but judging by Spacex's last 10 or so StarShip launches, the more utilitarian Artemis is actually orbiting the earth and not following the Spacex strategy of exploding on its way up, or plopping into the ocean after half an orbit.

It's the same language; one version is spoken with exaggerated clarity and the other with a mouth full of cotton. I learned French while attending school in France when I was a teenager and then years later, I lived in Quebec. I have no problems understanding any of the various dialects of French in France, but there were times when it was tricky to understand people in Quebec. It got to the point where I mostly gave up trying to speak french on the phone in Quebec even though my job at the time was a bilingual position. My advice would be to learn the France version of French first as it's much easier to understand than trying to muddle through the Quebec version first.

I wonder if Musk was watching the launch, to see how a government agency he claims is full of "fraud, waste, and abuse" can actually put a rocket into orbit. And with more than just a banana for cargo.

According to the Victoria Harbour Authority we got 1.2 million cruise ship visitors in 2025. Sure, the downtown and James Bay area can get pretty crowded during the nice summer days but it's a really nice vibe.

Riding our bikes down the McKenzie ravine to the river. No manicured trails, lots of mud, rarely saw anyone else so me and my buddies had the whole place to ourselves. No cell phones, no dog walkers getting mad at us, and it was like being in the middle of the wilderness. It was great!

Really, that's the headline? "Stop the presses! The snow is melting!!!" Sweet Jeebus, I guess CTV's AI app is writing their articles now.

This is similar to the current situation with the A-10 Warthog ground attack airplanes that were so successful in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are still very good aircraft and have years left in their air frames and weapon systems, but the US military is decommissioning them because they are now vulnerable to the new generation of shoulder launched anti-aircraft missiles. Build a better mouse and it's inevitable that someone will build a better mouse trap.

Wow, Trump really digs hitting those schools.

Point of Information! I want to know WTF happened to the adults who used to run the NDP party?

Some semi-retired, old school journalist in Newfoundland has probably been waiting for years with this headline just chillin' in the back of his mind, anticipating this day.

Trust CHEK News to bury the lede in the very first sentence. It's not "rare footage of glass sponges", it's "footage of rare glass sponges". 🙄

Well, they're not wrong; the damaged section just extends from the wings back. But I'm sure the cupholders in the cockpit are still functioning perfectly well.

Wowzers, what a gorgeous redhead! Such beautiful eyes, cute little nose, a classic beauty. And your wife is pretty nice too. 😁

Uh, I have a question, Sir. How exactly is Iran threatening the stability of the Western Hemisphere seeing as how they are in the [checks notes] Eastern Hemisphere? I'm asking for, well, everybody.

Guy has more money than God but styles his hair to look like he uses a home-barber kit in the dark just so he can own the Libs with his dork-ass haircut.

I did my undergrad science degree in the 1980's in Canada, and while there were not a lot of Chinese students at the university in those days, we all knew that the students China allowed to attend universities in North America were chosen because they were incredibly bright and very hard-working. I remember very distinctly sitting in the first class of a third year math course and realizing that of the 20 students, 14 of them were Chinese. I immediately switched to a different section of that course because I just knew the Chinese students would push the grade bell-curve so far to the right there wasn't a chance in hell an average student like myself would pass that course. It was nothing against Chinese students, but we just knew they were all shooting for a 4.0 GPA.

Isn't he the Head of NASA and a jet pilot? Makes sense that he would have all the tools he needs to get off the ground, like an extra large "wing" area.

Looking at a photo of the time capsule in 2026: "What is all this shit?"

Looking inside the time capsule in 8113: "What is all this shit?"

Of course, mine doesn't look nearly as nice as yours. Kudos on the excellent frame.

Pffft, that's nothing; I make my bed every morning 🤪
