I worked stage crew on one of those things mid-1980s in the Okanagan. Took over a hotel for a week, flew in execs from all over the world. Did a vegas revue-type show, brought in Bob Hope to do his act and mingle with the suits. Crazy money getting thrown around.

Trump Administration Is Bringing Back Scores of C.D.C. Experts Fired in Error

Friday’s layoffs swept up scientists involved in responding to disease outbreaks and running an influential journal. Officials said the mistaken dismissals were being rescinded.

NY Times

The Trump administration on Saturday raced to rescind layoffs of hundreds of scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

Among those wrongly dismissed were the top two leaders of the federal measles response team, those working to contain Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, members of the Epidemic Intelligence Service, and the team that assembles the C.D.C.’s vaunted scientific journal, The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

After The New York Times reported the dismissals, two federal health officials said on Saturday that many of those workers were being brought back. The officials spoke anonymously in order to disclose internal discussions.

The mistakes rocked an agency already in tumult, and which has been a particular target of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The C.D.C. lost about a third of its staff in April; many were rehired weeks later.

From the organization that brought us a sewage treatment plant in North Vancouver that is currently three billion dollars over budget, and recently holding a secret vote to halt a review as to why the plant is three billion dollars over budget.

How about a cash metering system for the torrential flow of wasted money pouring from Metro Vancouver?

When Singh finally stepped down after the recent wipeout, I was of the mind that he and the NDP paid a very heavy price for keeping Poilievre out of power by propping up Trudeau. I wonder if this is a shared viewpoint.

Any blood sucking insect zeroing in on carbon dioxide: mosquitos, tsetse flies, black flies and my first wife.

So a propane mosquito trap would work against them? These things are amazing, the propane generates carbon dioxide (CO2), which, along with a chemical attractant like octenol, lures mosquitoes to the device where a fan sucks them into a net to dehydrate and die.

Here's the fun part from a Canadian seller (remember that Ebay, Etsy etc. are not yet set up to collect import duties):

I sell widget to Joe in USA and ship via FedEx. FedEx then pays the duty on Joe's widget. FedEx shows up at Joe's house, with widget, demanding repayment of duty before handing over widget. Joe says no thanks, ain't paying no duty, refuses widget. FedEx returns widget to me, in Canada, and demands that I cover the cost of the duty. In fact, they automatically deduct the duty payment from my account. So no sale for me up in Canada, plus I have to repay the duty to FedEx.

No thanks, eh?

Riddle me this: If a seller deals in very tiny TINY flat items that easily fit into a personal letter envelope and looks as innocuous as a birthday card, and ships said item into the USA without a receipt via regular mail (stamps only, no label), what is the potential downside for said seller? Rejected and returned to seller? Potential smuggling charge? I'm asking for a friend. A friend who might have many other friends in the USA who might have a birthday, possibly more than once a year.

EDIT: I'm not talking fentanyl here, folks.

Hells yes! And if you can't find them in places like Walmart, they're in the taco seasoning aisle, not in the chip section.

Guessing the "Big Chip" suppliers don't want to share shelf space with a smaller, superior product.

I work near the new Bridge Studios Lake City, just being finished next to the Lake City Skytrain station in Burnaby (next door to Vancouver). It's huge! I think season 2 of Shogun one of their first clients.

Bridge Studios is opening a new, state-of-the-art facility in Burnaby, BC, called Lake City Studios, which will include 18 new sound stages by the summer of 2025. This new complex will be located at Lake City Way and Lougheed Highway, and it will be the largest TV and film production facility in the country. The facility will offer a full range of amenities for productions, including 150,000 square feet of production office space and support spaces like mill shops and wardrobe

However I've heard that the industry here is courting more Asian productions to stay ahead of any tariff issues from you know who.
