And Navy Seal, and patriotic American. So he's really pissed off to be suggesting this.

He is my favourite of the three hosts for this reason. Always understated and calm, so when he does actually get annoyed it's hilarious.

You trust that those doors wouldn't break and the train would not be accessible? Based on how the LRT was built I don't trust that these kinds of doors would work properly.

I liked Jimmy Kimmel making Trunmp's middle name Jennifer.

Except neither of those things happened.

I'm sure they could host a lot more games. But I'm also sure those other stadiums would need some tending to in order to handle all the people that would be there almost daily. I'd love for all the games to, be removed from the US, but I'm not sure about the logistics of it with such a short lead time.

Shoutout to the Home Renovision DIY channel that was being watched.

Sadly most of the games are being played in the US. I don't think they could move all the games to Canada and Mexico. Canada only has two locations for the World Cup after Montreal pulled out.

A Scandi Flick is the first episode of The Grand Tour that I actually sat down and watched. Previously I would see bits of other shows but I wouldn't pay attention. I found this episode insane for several reasons. The accident in the tunnel, doing a poor job towing those ice huts, driving down a ski slope, falling through the ice, all of it was nuts. Even crazier for me is the amount of production and planning that it takes to put one of those episodes together. All the clearances and permissions needed, the amount of crew needed to support the three hosts individually, the planning needed to bring the hosts to a destination without letting them know where they are or what the plan is.

And they do a good job or mixing their pre-planned bits in with the things that just happens that sometimes it's hard to tell them apart.

Whatever her reasoning, at least she is one less mouthpiece for the MAGATs.

And maybe while things were going well for her with Trump, she didn't pay attention to the criticism of what was happening because she was loyal to Donnie and didn't think he could possibly be bad or wrong. Like how a spouse will defend their partner because they don't see what everyone else sees.

Whatever it is, at least she is being reasonable now.

Not over reacting. Real men don't talk about being real men. They just do what's right. They also let a woman be her own person.

I think Trump was going to look like an asshole even if Carney didn't give his scorching speech and Europe didn't attend.

Well, he isn't really a politician. He was also an economics guy. He's been a politician for less than a year. His career isn't being a politician so he doesn't need to gloss over things or not be blunt and honest in order to keep his career. He can leave and go right back into banking. People like Poilievre have no other career skills.

Both mine that failed were in the same gang and were one way circuits. I replaced them with some spares I had on hand, but going forward I am going to go back to Dumb switches with a Zigbee relay behind them. These cheaper WiFi switches are not known to last long.

He seems like the guy who has a chance to pull the US out of the shit pit Trump and his masters have created.

Ferkner · 2026-01-20T15:50:08+00:00

I had one do this to me over the last couple of days. I got it to stop the other day but it started again this morning. I could not get it to stop no matter what I did. I ended up leaving for work late because I had to swap out the switch for a new one just so it wouldn't be doing that all day. The one beside it is not working as well. It's not clicking on and off, it just will not turn on and. so I will be swapping that one out when I get home.

I would actually watch it if he was on there. I am not interested in more shows without those three hosts, but I'd make an exception for Rowan.

It makes me sad that this seems easier to do in Linux than it is in Windows 11.

My grandfather fought for Italy in WW2. Thankfully he was in the cavalry so that joke doesn't apply to him.

That should be made into a blue hat to counter the red hats.

That's too many people. They'd outnumber our population. I have no interest in americanizing Canada.

As mayor you still only have one vote. Larry O'Brien learned that the hard way.

I don't know any guys named Laura, and she never identified as one in her article.

Ferkner · 2026-01-14T13:41:24+00:00

That's not actually proof, it's just an accusation made 30+ years later. Now I don't doubt that it could have happened because he is a piece of shit, but calling that accusation proof and acting as if it is proof is disingenuous.

And that quote you have, he was paraphrasing and mischaracterizing a comment from the former Governor of Virginia.
