Yes! My spouse should probably find other people to play Bridge with though.

I don't like it because a) communicating in weird formallized code is not something I enjoy and b) I hate how someone has to sit out every hand.

But my spouse likes it because he really likes to min-max things.

Technically the phrase should have been "omlette-like object"

Could it be better? Of course, but it's food! Nutritious, edible, fast, not bad tasting.

He's like "It's boring!"
And then I explain any element of the rules and he's like "That's so weird, I've never heard of that before!"

When I was a kid, euchre was *the* trick taking game.

My spouse is entirely opposed to learning it and wants me to learn bridge instead.

Yes. It can be a bit tricky because they're prone to explosion, but small glass dish with eggs and cheese and vegetables and you've got an omelette like object.

Big waste of time and money on his part, but at least everyone else on this list looks like a stronger candidate to me so he is unlikely to actually win.

RIP NDP if he does.

I know one of the candidates personally and I was really hoping someone would talk him out of it.

It's because the whole pack isn't dealt.

We just need an email address. Exchanging banking information is not required.

Also, I do not understand pricing at Fabricland.
Mostly cotton with some spandex jersey? $10. Sure, whatever.
100% polyester jersey? 2-3 times as much.

I have all the power tools!

But uh...I'm not conveniently located.

Hmph.
The Trorg says I got the wrong colour of fabric for the coat of his Halloween costume. So I guess I have to go back and also I have 2.5m of unclaimed grey poly-cotton twill?

That's a wearable mock-up for my jeans, right?

We don't need third party apps for that either.

Rivikah @rivikah.bsky.social · 23h

In Canada the banks work together and don't need you to have a third party app to send money.

In Canada we send money to each other through our bank's website or app and it arrives in their email and it's great
