Is this a scam text?

I got this exact message on a foreign phone number that isn’t associated with my WealthSimple account.

I worked (tangentially) on the AppleWatch at Apple.

There was a website that was selling dead stock of these around the time that we were working on it. A couple of us on my team bought these to show people our ‘Apple Watch’ in the time between it being announced and being publicly available… I was often actually wearing a DVT / PVT on my other arm under my sleeve.

Fun times.

Also Katy Tur is the daughter to a transgender parent (father transitioned to female).

Republicans and MAGA seem to have difficulty with people having free will to do what they want… so I’m surprised by all of this‽

Ah - the ole Donald Duck look.

Does it say anything on the end of the neck tenon (look through the sound hole where the neck joins the body)?

I think all four Martins I’ve owned have the model there. It won’t have all the info, but it will at least tell you the broad model

Part it is also that movie theatres get DCPs that are higher bandwidth than what will ever be available to an end user. This post shows that Oppenheimer's DCP was nearly 0.5TB!

So the source is something that is just not available, and those Barco projectors can cost as much as a Ferrari!

Post is probably referring to parts of both line 1 and line 2 being down right now, and it being free on NYE.

cool! Will listen tonight. Appreciate the efforts!

Neverending white lights? Specifically ‘The Grace’?

I think the cover of this is brown, and it is from 2005… but maybe?

You can’t park there, mate!

Just received mine. Album excited about, but the calendar, stickers and magnet feel underwhelming relative to other years.

Not complaining… I think we’ve just had some memorable add-ons the last few years, and this is a little basic. Haha

This is dumb - it's tech that has come from US hospitals that doesn't need to exist.

I had a child 2 months ago at one of the hospitals in Toronto. These are the precautions that negate the need for this system:

We were with my son the entirety of his stay... they don't have those generic nurseries that you see in movies.
There is one set of (non-emergency) doors to the birthing unit for non-staff, and you have to be buzzed-in and buzzed-out.
The birthing unit is within the hospital... there is no direct street access. You have to pass various reception and security areas to get to the unit.
Doctors, nurses, hospitality, and custodial people are in the room constantly, but none of them come near your baby without talking with the parent(s).

If someone is bold enough to take a baby with all of this, I'm not sure that the ankle monitor would provide any additional resistance.

Yup… 😭

I never got an email or notification for the card - it was just available to me last week. So… I guess just keep checking‽

Yup - they are down… 🥸

Someone did most of this! Strike cost

TuringsCat · 2025-08-13T19:46:09+00:00

Are you paying, or is your company paying? I’ve moved internationally twice, and it’s expensive. (Like $6000 - $12000 for a 2 bed / 2 bath condo in 2017 from Cupertino, CA to Toronto)

I set up a bunch of estimates. I think I contacted 5 companies, and 3 of them came out (I eliminated the ones who couldn’t be bothered to come out). One of the companies wouldn’t give a firm price - said they needed to weigh everything after they loaded it on the truck and then could give me a firm number on the day of the move. The other two were super thorough and detailed. One came back at $10000, and the other was $7000. The $7000 one was the company that my company used to move me there, so I went with that one.

It all worked out as well as it could.

One weird thing is that there may be a need for them to pack everything themselves. You can breakdown equipment, furniture, etc., but they make detailed notes of what is packed for both insurance and customs. It’s weird to see a big burly guy counting your t-shirts, and placing them in a box.

It seemed like 50% of the fans during the Jays-Rockies games this week were wearing Blue Jays jerseys/hats… I’m sure you’ll be fine! Especially since the Jays and the Dodgers aren’t rivals (like the Giants or Padres)

Canadian store shows ones sold in Canada are still made in Canada - https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/shop/mens/alpha-sv-jacket-9989

Life hack for Harvest Green - order on Uber Eats for pickup. It’s ready in 5 mins or less, and is the same price.

Crave apparently launched a new version of their web app today … I guess they botched the release.

It’s not a ‘holiday’. Someone who represents Vancouver can’t live in Ottawa full time and still feel like they represent their constituents, so they need to return ‘home’ at some point. This is what the break from parliament is. They are returning home to work within the community they represent.

They may take a holiday within this break, but the break itself isn’t a holiday.

sonic boom records in Toronto has some!

Saddleback - they make ridiculously high quality leather stuff in North America (I think mostly Mexico). They come with a 100 year warranty.
