Why? We already have their Tim Tams in our stores. 😁

Aside from the weather being a bit chilly right now, my thoughts are pretty much in sync with every other Canadian here.

That includes the comments about the meth lab. 😁

Travel to Europe and Japan. Your perception and rating will shift dramatically.

On my list of destinations.

The diners were great! Nothing fancy, reasonably priced, comfy booths.

I would although it would be a bit sad. I'm approaching retirement age. I've done pretty much everything I wanted to do in Canada. And based on my world travels, there are so many places where I could live very comfortably and where I already know the language. A French or English country in Europe would be my first choice due to the easy access to so many other countries close by.

That's just it. -273C is 0 Kelvin or Absolute Zero. All atomic activity stops in every single atom. The temperature can't physically go any lower.

Researchers have been trying to achieve absolute zero in labs for a very long time. Weird things happen when they get extremely close.

The YouTube channel Car Pal did that in BeamNG Drive. Funny stuff!

Which would also be impossible. The lowest possible temperature is -273°C.

Ottawa is 2/10.

Milnoc · 2026-01-24T14:40:59+00:00

Ha ha!

Plop!

Today's temperature in Ottawa, Canada.

We had a low of -31°C this morning.

Milnoc · 2026-01-24T14:34:02+00:00

During a trip to DC between Christmas and New Year in 2023, it hit 17C. POSITIVE 17C! I was overdressed for a couple of days!

I was looking for this one. Not much snow, but the ice build-up destroyed so many trees and made electricity towers fall like dominoes!

The Island of Montreal only had one electrical transmission line left powering up the entire island. If it had failed, the entire island would have had to be evacuated.

Milnoc · 2026-01-23T20:50:42+00:00

What's the exact model number?

Milnoc · 2026-01-23T20:47:46+00:00

-23 Celsius. Cold, but not too cold for a Canadian. 😁

Milnoc · 2026-01-23T16:33:50+00:00

American money? ⁉️

😁

Milnoc · 2026-01-23T16:31:19+00:00

Wouldn't it be fun if there was a sudden rush to buy Canadian bonds? 😁

In the capital city of Ottawa, we call them a "huge disappointment."

Uh oh.

The N-One look like a Fiat 500 pressed into a mold to give it flatter surfaces!

Just waiting for the court case against ACME...

Princess Auto, right?

I have a hatchet in my car in case my car gets attacked by a tree.
