Me: that suede coat looks nice, I should shop for one

Also me: wait, I never leave the house and there's no point having nice things

Just saw a TV show that said movibg from New York to California was "a big leap of faith". I moved from Vancouver to Wales and I can say, it's not a bit leap at all. It's false that it's big and scary to move, it's challenging with kids but I encourage people to move, especially to a small town.

@plaidcymru.bsky.social I have a "reform friend" who I have beers with every Thurs in an effort to expand my horizons.
I learned last night that reform supporters are being fed Facebook slop "muslims are coming to this country to take up arms and create a Sharia Law political party".

@oplopanax.ca it just occurred to me, do you have any RCMP contacts involved in SAR or missing people?

I'm desperately trying to get real world feedback, and maybe even usage, on missingperson.app

@theregoescarly.bsky.social might like this. Maybe this is a Christmas present we could send you since you were kind enough to host Jen in Budapest.

OMG!!! I just noticed Firefox Android has Save as PDF. I've previously installed other apps to accomplish this because I often want to save good content for future reference. I can now easily do what I want with just 2 taps!!!

Franklin (cat) just unlocked and made a call with my phone. Fortunately I saw the light of the screen and hung up before it connected.

I heard potatoes cause nervous ticks and other mental and physical maladies. I'm against this and will base an entire political campaign on it.

I love how everyone is saying Twitter isn't working because CloudFlare is down.
No, Twitter hasn't been working for a long time, probably since about the Arab Spring.

I wonder if current Republicans grew up with the 90's animated Batman? They should go back and watch it.

Hearing from your constituents/voters/citizens: always a waste of time for elected officials.
Wow, what a cynical thing for our mayor to say after all the Vancouverites came together to voice concerns over his budget

It's been a tough week for this one.

I cannot wait for this to happen. 1 or 2 things is going to happen:
1.) they're full of it and won't actually leave.
2.) they do leave and everyone is happy about NYC being so much nicer.

Will be launching a formal complaint against Peter at the CRA, agent ...022W...
He asked for my fathers birthdate and I said Nov 4th. I then said "oh shoot, it's April 11th, my mother's birthdate is Nov and I always get the month/day mixed up". Apparently that was enough to invalidate my call.

I have to be clear, up-front, and honest. As much as I'm an AI naysayer and pretty negative on the whole topic. I am working on an AI startup idea that I think leverages LLMs properly, locally, and at a smaller scale where the environmental impact is more justifiable.

So my wife just says to me "Franklin is training me" as us surprised when I might not understand the context she's referring to.
One might ask how is he training her, or what made her think of that, or what's the cute story behind it. But I'm left guessing for context.

Ok, this is going to sound crazy but hear me out for a second.
An app/plugin for Teams/Slack/Zoom that first does 60 seconds at 0.5 speed. Then does 30 seconds at 2x speed. So you're always speaking... really... slowly or-really-quickly.
The best attended but most annoying meetings ever.

This sounds like... Salary to match inflation!
If inflation were real, since they say inflation is a measure of a nations growth, they should have no problem raising their budget, their salaries, and their prices with inflation. Because prices and cost increase with inflation, right?
The members will be voting on the tentative deal. The expectation is while the voting and review process takes place the picket lines will come down. Liquor distribution and other services will take some time to get to normal. Deal comes after 8 days of mediation with Amanda Rogers and Vince Ready.

Hear me out here: Open source game that takes a JSON file with prompts and parameters that feed into a LLM to output a turn-based D&D style game.
So the framework would be some simple code to parse info from the user and output the results. #MakeAnyoneAGameDev
