Literally can someone just give me Bose Frames with an Action Cam. I think it’d be sick for first person sports footage. I do not want any of the smart stuff whatsoever
Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

Waited 15 minutes for a bus that said it was six minutes away before a guy also waiting for the bus started yelling at me for looking at him the wrong way (I wasn’t looking at him at all). Don’t have the patience to deal with this so hopped back on the subway to grab a different route up

Beginning the commute back home. Got a win tonight but a few more slapstick level hiccups happened off the ice along the way. Can I make it back in under 4 hours this time?

Ended up just walking the last 45 minutes to the rink. Let’s see what the rest of the night brings me, but at least the commute chapter has ended

Two buses on the fix-it route down. 25 minute wait for the next one, and apparently another short window to catch a train for the last stop. What a day

Now having to find my way from Maple to Markham, I found a bus route. Said it was coming in 12 minutes so I ran into the bathroom at the station. Came out two minutes later. Bus showed up and left early. I don’t know what I did to deserve today but it’s sending a hell of a message

In what I am describing as my greatest athletic achievement ever, I managed to run from a TTC subway train on the Union platform, tap my presto to transfer, and get onto the GO train on Bay platform 8 in 95 seconds. At least that didn’t fail me

Immediately after I sent this my subway train had a service adjustment delay that guaranteed that I’d miss my hourly train

I wouldn't argue too hard with someone who gave that, though I'd personally just say Seb for both
Bradley's advantage would be being the captain and being here for the 19 run as well, but also the death blow to the era was them hiring his dad, so highs and lows.

My mom bought an old laptop from work a few weeks ago and I wanted to upgrade her to 16GB of RAM.
Stick cost $129 CAD. In July it was $32. Two weeks later its $139. It's psychotic
