Recommend listening to the original German where they sing hie-li-ge nacht instead of trying to drag out ho-o-oly night and see if it feels more natural to the ear.
Ive only recently seen the light on God Rest. This version was just too good to deny! music.youtube.com/watch?v=j3ce...

I have a very hard time believing there is much on LinkedIn to be mined that is not already generated by AI models.

Has it always been this bad? My inclination is to pin this on social media, but I admittedly didn't frequent my local timmies in the before-times so I'm not able to verify whether the quality of local discourse was any better or worse.

Love how well Sherman's wharf still shows up in overhead. I also recall seeing some of it poke above the water when the water was real low, but that was long before I knew what it was.

I'm not sure I agree. The marsh at the Nature Park provides me no utility to me beyond being something to gaze upon, but it's worth having. Same goes for the Fundy Bay - it's not parkland, but being able to look out to the Bay from much of the city breaks up any feeling of alienation from nature.

You'd think that Meta not hosting a public-facing mechahitler would make it less harmful than Twitter, but the mixture of its apparent harmlessness and lack of journalism is having a more damaging impact on folks who don't self-identify as terminally online than Twitter madness ever could.

I am not actively using facebook and so I have really only been exposed to this "outrage" via other folks reporting it a second hand basis from facebook. The lesson seems clear to me. Get off facebook, become less deranged. Get your parents and friends off facebook.

Proposal to improve the SJ to Fredericton highway: We replace those flashing lights that alert drivers to the threat of moose with a flag system. Throughout the day we fly the regular NB flag but at night we swap it out with a rampant moose variant.

The salmon and beaver would be totally compliant with the OG coat of arms, so in a four quadrant version this would work excellently

Being a fan of the NB flag, I think the "banner of arms" approach to flag design is usually promising (or at the very least, constraining in a way that's conducive to avoiding weird elements like the gradients on Miramichi's flag or overly corporatized logos on a white field).

Sharing this defence of the default US state flag. It's well worth a watch, and genuinely changed my mind about these flags. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-Ig...

This group makes me so sad. Ive restrained myself from trying to engage with it on facebook, but as somebody who does find wonder in local history it is depressing to see this group basically speedrun the rabbithole from curiousity to conspiracy.

Excellent, thanks! Neat to see that the Pagan house features in two chapters of the border story, being built in Maine and housing one of the surveyors that confirmed the identity of the St. Croix. Ill add it to the roadtrip list.

Interesting story, Jacques! Any insights into which St. Andrew's houses are the transplants?

The TransCanada's route alienates us from the river - it's wild that the drive along the new highway can be the dullest in the province, but if you follow the old highway along the river it becomes one of the most scenic and relaxing routes.

That would make sense! Most of the labels Ive come across are definitely wharves that have been in use since before pre-confederation in some capacity.

Curious. Any ides what kind of info would be associated with a file number? Surveys, deeds, etc.?

Thats what I thought too, but PIDs are shorter. Did we used to use 9 digit PIDs perhaps?

Not sure when the rule was written, but it may be worth revising. 3 seems a more reasonable threshold to me given the performance of the Greens and PA recently. That said, if we are going to have a rule, we should actually enforce it instead of just operating on vibes.

I love this book! Revisiting it this week I was reminded that the circumstances and rationale behind Confederation are an apt parallel to our current geopolitical situation... and unlike other historical parallels one could point to, it actually provides an optimistic outlook.
