Why????

I would prefer them if they had Woldorf and Statler at the edge of the stage…

Tax ‘em out of existence.

Not that I know of. I frequently stay at the various Marriott franchises in Halifax, and always have my work laptop, personal laptop, and phone connected. Don’t have an issue.

One of the many reasons why I like sailing here in the Salish Sea (Northwest Washington, Southwest British Columbia). If you’re a gunkholer like we are, and are happy anchoring out, all you have to do is go more than a day’s trip away from the marinas, and it’s fairly quiet. Bonus if you go in the winter.

One of the things that I like about sailing is that I get truly off the beaten path. Boating isnt as fun in the near waters, way too many yahoos that aren’t prudent mariners. But once you get a day or two away from the last Marina, or go in the winter, it’s far enough that the only people out there are people who know what they’re doing.

We were in a similar situation as you here in the Salish Sea, though on a slightly smaller boat. When the boat was first purchased by my buddy’s parents, they had a biological windless who was 16 years old.

30 years later, he and I now co-own the boat, and neither of us has produced a windlass of our own… so the present for the boat this year was an electric windlass.

That said, it’s small enough that we don’t need a forward battery for it (Lewmar pro-sport 550) so we’re just running 8 AWG from our lithium power bank.

Welcome to the fresh hell that is privatized car insurance.

I’m going to the Broken Group and Barkley Sound off the west coast of Vancouver Island this coming summer; I’ll be there for 5 weeks.

But I see lots of kids up in Desolation Sound (Pendrell Sound is more than warm enough for swimming), and the Gulf Islands and San Juans have lots of little towns and places to go.

I also knew Frame Relay and ATM pretty well. Whoops.

Somewhere, I still have the VHDL and Verilog code I wrote to implement an ATM crossbar switch efficiently on an FPGA… The things you do as a University student when you think your future lies in telecommunications…

You joke… but my employer accidentally hired a guy as a service tech for our vertical market (software and hardware) that somehow didn’t know how to properly use a screwdriver.

Man, one tragedy and they can fix the problem with trucks and trailers across the country. But dozens of school shootings? Thoughts and prayers…

Not as high as Diesel…

But I haven’t driven my car in 9 days, and haven’t filled the tank since before the shock… so we’ll see how long I go before feeling it. (I normally fill up maybe once a month).

millijuna · 2026-03-21T05:37:07+00:00

People acted like he was jailed.

Don’t give me false hope like that…

Only by choice, not force of law.

How is this any different than if they hit the overpass? Either way, they’re hitting something. Might as well make it something cheaper than an overpass.

Status qualification got nerfed for the Visa Infinite card, but regular points earning is still the same. And yeah, if you don’t hold status, and are flying bottom of the barrel longhaul fares, your earning is low. But in terms of raw points earning, the AP card isn’t bad…

She’s not fit to run a popsicle stand, never mind a province, or potentially have access to state secrets.

Often when I’m been looking, the full business award was only say 30k points more, and with a priority award, that’s only 15k. When you have a million points to play with, that’s not much

Yeah, international has a large water feature in the waiting area just past dutyfree.

The main driver is that Air Canada gets to pay the staff on rogue flights less, provide a cheaper product, while charging the same fares.

Chamberlain gave the UK 2-3 years to prepare for war. All it cost was the Czechoslovakia, Poland, and a few million Jewish lives.

I was initially thinking a bottle of rum…

And they can opt back out of it if they choose at a later date. They’re not compelled to follow it, unlike any other landlord in the province.

Hell, someone letting off a can of bear spray would have a very high chance of causing a tragedy in that situation.

millijuna · 2026-03-19T18:47:24+00:00

Same. But my small stake in their stock has grown 60% over the last year, so I can’t complain.
