My app tells me that has officially experienced its warmest winter in history.

While I may be glad I didn’t break my back shovelling this season, I’m worried about what this means for our future climate-wise.

Can you be nostalgic for something you’ve never had. The Bar-B-Barn in is closing and I’m feeling all the feels. But, get this, although this place has been around longer than I’ve been alive and I’ve seen it hundreds of times, I’ve never had the food nor been inside the restaurant.

I guess I got accustomed to seeing the giant bubbly font and questionable colour combo;-)

Une importante population originaire de ces régions vit ici, mais aussi dans le reste de la francophonie canadienne. Ces sont même des acteurs très importants de la résistance contre l’assimilation dans beaucoup de communautés francophones partout au . Pourquoi ces gens ne peuvent-ils pas entendre parler un peu plus sérieusement et profondément de ce qui passe en en ouvrant la télévision nationale ?

Mandatory in person meeting for our division on Monday... Perfect timing to get everyone sick before the holidays.

And if we're in regions, it's mandatory open cameras 🙄

@ShaunOttawa @casseagull @stephanie the person in charge of managing this list is the same person who is scheduling in-person meetings and potlucks days before the holidays, during uncertain times in terms of global health issues

One of the creepier tech-related incidents I remember was many years ago when I wanted the Sam's Photofacts (a third-party creator of device specs and schematics, etc.) for a very old portable TV. Way out of date, but I was trying to help someone with it.

I mentioned to a friend that I was looking for old Photofacts, but I did not say anything about the TV. He scribbled an address on a scrap of paper, an address locally here in L.A. "Try him," he muttered.

I drive over. It's a small unmarked storefront. I go in, the bell on the door rings. Sitting inside, like the caterpillar in "Alice in Wonderland", is this little guy perched on a stool, with immense stacks of paper surrounding him everywhere. Total mayhem.

I walk up to him -- knowing that this was a waste of time and really wanting to get out of there -- and asked if he had the Sam's Photofacts for that specific very old TV model.

Without saying a word, he reached over to the pile of papers right next to him, took the TOP item off the pile, and silently handed it to me. It was the ancient one I needed. Stunned, I paid him the amount marked on the item, and left with it, not completely sure what had just happened.

When I drove by there a month later that storefront was something else entirely. He was gone.

I like the phrase "snitches get stitches" because it suggests that, in spite of its incumbent violence, the criminal underworld is proactive about timely affordable healthcare.

My ROFL for the day:

The women´s football (soccer) world cup is on. In an interview, one of the German players was asked "so who´s the female Neymar"?

Her reply was "I don´t think there´s a female Neymar. For example, I don´t know any female players who keep laying on the ground for two or three minutes".

🤣🤣🤣
