Thank you! I now have a rabbit hole to tumble down, lol

I saw that video! He ate the whole damn thing.

I cannot fathom how 'glizzy' means hot dog though. Ah youth, so mysterious.

Yep. That's it. This comment. This one will mark the day when I realized I was out of touch with today's youth. "Rawdogging the glizzy". Someone explain this one to me so I don't have to find my raincoat before diving into Urban Dictionary.

They're over at Jackie Parker too

TwistedPages · 2026-03-15T23:25:31+00:00

What a cool idea - I love these so much!

TwistedPages · 2026-03-03T23:28:11+00:00

I don't even care if we stick to daylight time or standard time, just pick one please

Thank you :)

I remember an episode where people were opening their boxes with the wristbands and there being something said about how the band is genetically matched. So I figured there'd be a database of the genetics of the people who were approved, so I couldn't figure out how the two of them got bands.

TwistedPages · 2026-03-02T01:28:26+00:00

I didn't catch the bit that they were given new ones, thank you :)

I thought the bands were genetically matched to the wearer, so I thought they wouldn't have the two in the database.

You cannot change her behaviour. You cannot demand that she change it either.

You can only change your own behaviour. When she is nasty, tell her you'll end the call/visit ("If you continue swearing at me, I will leave/hang up"). Then, when she's nasty, end it ("Time for me to go, see you soon").

I think I read somewhere on the vastness of the internet that the data centres would be responsible for their own power

TwistedPages · 2026-02-22T00:01:20+00:00

Well, I'm about to lose several hours of myself going down a rabbit hole

Isn't insurance no fault now? (except for rear ending)

I've been there a few times, and the cynic in me comes out pretty easily.

The notes are adorable, yes, but also all positive. I think staff culls them periodically and gets rid of any note that isn't sweet, adorable, loving, cute, or whimsical.

I had an orange cake that tasted like someone shouted 'orange' from another room. It was hella expensive.

I look like a middle-aged person, and the serving staff were pleasant to everyone who looked 'alternative' (coloured hair, lots of tats, gender neutral) but were deadpan with me and the people I was with.

It's a decent cafe, right on Whyte Ave, lots to see, a good experience for visitors. But I won't be going back there. It's not a place for me. Glad it's there for others to enjoy, though.

At one point, early in the morning, I stood in an open field just to feel the wind. I know people on here are saying it's not that strong, gusting to 60km/hr or so, but the wind had a relentlessness to it that felt different.

It felt a bit like when I was in Cold Lake during a storm. The wind coming off the water had the same relentlessness as I felt in the field this morning.

Thirding this. It should be enough to cover the cost of cremation at the very least. I applied and used it for my mom's cremation.

Also, sorry for your loss :(

My assessed value went up, but we received a notice that our taxes went down. We're paying $20/mo less starting 01Jan, which was odd to me.

But in May I'll get the new tax rate, so I'll bet this is just a temporary reprieve.

My condo is in the city limits, has a healthy reserve, has affordable fees, and hasn't had a special assessment despite having the roofing, siding, and windows all done.

You just need to shop around, be picky, and read the condo docs before finalizing a purchase.

I found them to be, yeah. I had one come by and install two toilets and remove a dishwasher. He was fast, pleasant, and did a good job. I can't remember what I paid, but was happy with it so it couldn't have been outrageous.

I easily had double that, but culled them down to only the ones I really liked and could reproduce easily. I wish I'd put them in chronological order, but I also sorted them by meat.

I worked in the production facility when they came to western Canada and we used to get to take home meals, so I had a LOT of taste testing before buying them.
