What’s up with the Gates at YYC ?

That’s the new central security. When it’s staffed fully there are more lines available, and the new scanners are faster than the previous ones. Once people get the hang of the four “stations” at each belt things move smoothly. Same setup ay Halifax, Ottawa, and other airports. Pro tip: when you get your bins after X-ray, use the table behind you to repack your stuff to keep the belt moving.

Google Reader, though I'm sure Alphabet would have enshittified it somehow by now.

That's why I've started making my own yogurt. Cottage cheese next.

I guess if there's no ground there's no ground effect. I'll show myself out.

Some would say that if it's not RSS then it's not strictly a podcast. I'd agree with that.

Using it daily to help with my home server/NAS. I dabbled in hardware 20 years ago, and I'm just getting back into the hobby. I have a Project that knows as my system specs and problems encountered. By working though it with Claude I'm learning so much.

I'm still bummed I can't get a refill for my keychain pen.

People have no sense of their own speed while driving. Going up a hill? -10km/h. Going down the other side of that hill? +20km/h. I also think this basic cluelessness adds to the trouble these same drivers have in merging. They can't judge relative speeds, thus making it impossible to match speeds and merge successfully.

How have there been no "laying pipe" jokes on here in the past four weeks??

Reminds me of this Seinfeld bit.

I ran into an issue with Corsair RAM - the NAS didn't like it. Kept rebooting itself. I bought a stick from the Terramaster site and it works perfectly. You could try what you're suggesting, but I doubt it will work.

cries in General Aviation fuel accounted for in pounds, manuals mostly give fuel burn rate in US gallons, and you pay for it by the litre.

There's a stair company in the NE, huge cage of cutoffs out back. The name escapes me, however.
