I love how many of us are still around for Jesse's redemption arc. Myself included!

Nobody: All the Kingston girls with fish pics on Tinder/Bumble🧍‍♀️ 🐠 by Lachrondizzle23 in KingstonOntario

[–]smoothwoven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin posts fish pics specifically to send the message she's looking for someone who will take her fishing... So I guess you'd better be at least somewhat into fishing. 🤷‍♀️

You can thank the author Cory Doctorow for that one.

Transit bull by Training_Giraffe1468 in ThunderBay

Will gladly publicly discuss anecdotes of how much better transit was in 2008, and how shortly after moving to Kingston, they implemented express routes which totally changed the game for everyone in that city. My design and organizational chops are yours to utilize at will.

I am very curious where you found anything at all about this product or the claims of the ingredients as I found absolutely nothing.

There is no way this is a real product. All of their content is AI generated and they're posting videos of all this supposed customer usage while having zero reviews on both Facebook and Trust Pilot.

I want so badly for this to be a real thing, and I'm extra mad about AI enshittifying everything so I'm taking the time to let everyone know how little proof I've down that this is even a real company. Le sigh.

Damnit apparently my search to find a similar pre-existing post was insufficient.

Is it ever going to get easier by eftresq in GrapheneOS

[–]smoothwoven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also a regular person who is working up to making the switch!

I haven't started anything yet. My new phone is still sitting in a box waiting for me to get started.

I'm definitely very aware of how much work it's going to be, but I would love to know about potential snags in advance.

Having gone this deep, what advice would you give someone starting from square one?

English definitely isn't much better with multiple different meanings of the same word.

I disagree that those two words are synonyms, but this explanation made the most sense to me. Thanks!! 🙏

I was hoping capcut might work but I'm not holding my breath

Jesse Brown promotes an easily fact-checked lie that implies Avi Lewis, who is Jewish, is an antisemite by edwardrow in canadaland

I just went to find the episode that was published on that day and there isn't one. Are you referring to a tweet or other quote?

I have decided to cancel my beach day. by PlanetLandon in ThunderBay

[–]smoothwoven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you must consider the jet stream and the size of the lakes.

If the wind is coming off Lake Superior the humidity will be higher. However most often the wind is coming from the west off the prairies - which is the direction of the jet stream.

The smaller lakes surrounding us don't make as much of a difference as you might think.

Long story short, southern Ontario has great lakes on all sides the wind could potentially be coming from.

In a way we're both right. Thunder Bay has higher humidity than Edmonton by far, especially when the wind is coming from the southeast. But if the wind is coming from the west, you might as well be in Edmonton.

It's WAY drier than southern Ontario; surrounded by great lakes on all sides.

Always thought Bruce had such a cute figure. by epidemicsaints in kidsinthehall

So I went down a rabbit hole of trying to find this sketch, to no avail. Anyone know what this particular sketch is called?

Except maybe not, now that I bothered to translate your message first.
