And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, he tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him. I'll chase him round the moons of Nibia and round the Antares maelstrom and through perdition's FLAMES before I give him up!

There was a federal private member’s bill (Bill C-306) in 2011 that would have required MPs who crossed the floor to vacate their seat and run in a by-election under their new party affiliation. The Conservatives who were in power then voted overwhelmingly against it. #cdnpoli

A few nitpicks about #plex. It's oddly insistent on creating an account, even for a private home server. You can get around it, but it's not obvious. And it doesn't seem to like DNS.
But it works!

#Plex already has one up on #jellyfin: Correctly recognizing "Shirt Tales" and not confusing it for the Japanese TV series "The Tailor-Made Shirt".

Welp. So long, #Jellyfin. It's been fun, but I just can't get you running again.

Openings at my level are like the Chess equivalent of a parent letting go of the bicycle seat. Look Ma! I played the Caro-Kann!

Now what do I do?

I just swatted a mosquito.
In December.
In Canada.

My grandmother is dead. This cursed AI phantom pretending to be her is an abomination controlled by a corporation who wants to sell me steak knives. It would be a desecration of her memory.

$200+ to have my winter tires put on. On-rims. I'm pretty sure I paid less in previous years to have them completely re-rimmed.

Pete Hoekstra's main job seems to be to assure us Trump isn't going to do something that he's been doing all along right before he does more of it, so we should obviously expect the Trump administration to meddle in Canadian politics. #canpoli #uspol www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

It's rare to get snow that sticks around in early December, so this stuff should melt soon, right?
