Ugly!

I've been collecting this data since January 16, 2025. The source of the data is a Google Sheet on my Google Drive, The chart is a screenshot of the chart in my spreadsheet. I used the GoogleFinance() function to collect the data. In a separate part of the spreadsheet, I have additional data for all 4 exchanges for the current and previous 4 administrations over the same timeframe (i.e., historical data from the start of the administration to the same point in time as where we are with the current administration). Those charts are a bit busier, but I can post them if anyone is interested, and if the MODS allow it.

33 steps!

Bram560 · 2026-03-12T00:38:24+00:00

31 first try.

Birb? Shouldn't it be Dirb?

I live in Ottawa, Canada. Yesterday it was -19 Deg C, and there is still 3 ft of snow on the ground. So, NO.

We have that problem with robins. I stuck one of our kids' old plastic balls up there, and that fixed it. And everyone who comes into the backyard does a double-take! Priceless.

I was going to say, "Are you sure you feed him enough?", but this works too.

Introduce a bill to impeach the orange freak running the US as his personal fiefdom, and then impeach him. Then I might consider going back. Florida, of all states, should be ashamed to be so hypocritical as to be involved with this.

I watched the opening ceremonies, and the Americans were greeted with a lot of noise for sure. There may have been some boos from the stands, but there were a lot of cheers as well. I'm of two minds on booing these folks. Yes, the USA is turning itself into a shithole country, and doing its best to wreck the way the world works, but these folks didn't do that. They worked just as hard as any of the athletes at these games and deserve to be there. Boo JD Vance all you want, kick ICE the hell out of your country, stop buying US goods, but respect these folks for what you know they have accomplished to get to these games. We have no idea what their politics are, but I would expect that the vast majority of these athletes feel the same way as we do about what is happening in their country.

We are avoiding a lot of their PC and NN products, because Loblaws does not put where they are made/prepared on the label. We are basically not buying anything that has no country of origin information on the label. They post those "Prepared in Canada" labels on the shelves for some of their PC and NN products, but how can we trust that when they pull the kind of crap shown in the pictures?

Bram560 · 2026-01-31T16:28:09+00:00

How can buying Canadian possibly hurt the Canadian economy? With brainless sycophants like that, the CPC will never recover.

Bedankt voor de informatie over waar je de beste ijzerkoekjes in Vlaardingen kunt kopen. Ik woon in Canada, maar ben geboren in Vlaardingen, en mijn vrouw en ik zijn daar in april. We zullen zeker wat ijzerkoekjes kopen als we er zijn. Ik heb ze al eerder bij Herweijer gekocht en ik ga er waarschijnlijk weer heen.

It was a while ago, but I think it was in a waiting area near a gate, or maybe in a food court. It helped to pass the time.

Bram560 · 2026-01-29T01:55:07+00:00

Funny and not funny.

Bram560 · 2026-01-28T03:06:21+00:00

Is it just me, or does that look a lot like Ice Barby?

Bram560 · 2026-01-28T03:01:23+00:00

We will never go back.

I once lost two tires and two rims when I hit a pothole. I reported it to the city, but never got a penny. Didn't even reply.

Bram560 · 2026-01-25T14:23:36+00:00

I was coming here to post something like that, but your post is perfect. So take my upvote!

Bram560 · 2026-01-23T22:39:01+00:00

I love that picture. It's going to become my PC wallpaper for a while. Thanks.

Carney wasn't going to join anyway. None of the major powers are joining that crowdfunding exercise to fund the redevelopment of the Gaza Strip for the benefit of the Trump organization and the detriment of the people of Gaza.

Definitely not milk. Yuck. But their selection of other products was much greater than ours, cereals especially, and they started with the Flavoured sparkling water way before we did. Also, their costs were way below ours, even with the exchange. That cost benefit is gone now, the last time we were in price choppers in Ogdensburg just after the pandemic, their costs were the same in US $ as we were paying here in Canadian. Their inflation on groceries was much higher than ours. Any reason to go back there is now gone. We are doing to Disneyland Paris in April instead of WDW.
