I made a peach pie! My quest is completed. This from a big honking jar of Bulgarian peaches. It should keep me happy until the fresh local Ontario peaches come along in summer.

Ah the challenge of trying to identify an actor who never really did leading roles, and you can't remember specific things that they were in. "That guy, that was in a bunch of stuff." Ugh

@ottaross I'm sure ChatGPT could give you the right answer.

Two batches of going this morning.

I've been having probs finding time to progress, so have often had a starter ramping up on the counter for several days. I constantly expect today I'll get it going.

This week I even had to break down and buy bread for the first time in years. That gave me the kick in the butt to get something going after breakfast.

@ottaross are the revolutionaries more sour than their counterparts?

@ottaross sour and crusty.

I know many people like the Cybertruck, but…..

You can’t wash it in direct sunlight and it has a “car wash mode”??

Sure seems like a flurry of deaths of prominent people in just the last few days.

Starting to get worried about the massive stardom I've attained in Luxembourg these last several years.

@ottaross don’t worry, we’ll replace you with an AI bot that posts like you to mastodon.

@ottaross good idea! Nellie the elephant trumpety trump and trumped her way to the circus.

A large client has launched their AI tools, with various articles about them posted to the internal blog, basically describing how it will enable the company to get rid of people.

The articles have a lot of "likes".

It really makes me wonder who thinks this will be good for them.

Elon Musk: AI will be smarter than any human around the end of next year

While Musk says superintelligence is coming soon, one critic says prediction is "batsh*t crazy."

Just back from going for . It's nasty weather tonight, windy blowing rain, snow and sleet. Glad it wasn't far to walk.

Home to see the first off the accumulation on the grassy areas only. There's more where that came from! Still too warm for a while on the paving.

@ottaross it’s settling on the ground here but it looks wet and heavy. I guess we’ll find out in the morning if school buses are cancelled.

@ottaross I already believe your story. 😁

Social media trained us to forever scroll vertically. Mobile websites now expect us to also scroll horizontally. Um, nope. I’m too lazy! 😁

@johnefrancis I’m 30 minutes south of the city and it’s been raining heavily with ice pellets for a couple of hours.

@YurkshireLad@mastodon.social avatar

@johnefrancis as long as it waits until I get home!

YurkshireLad,

@johnefrancis the ratio of rain to ice pellets has changed for the worse.

@johnefrancis I’m home now, so I don’t think I want to look out of the window for a couple of days. 😁

At my rare visit to and I’m the only person sitting inside. The drive through is a constant flow of cars. Crazy.

At least this time the tea was hot and they gave me the right muffin. Unlike the last two times.

YurkshireLad,
@YurkshireLad@mastodon.social avatar

@ottaross yeah that’s my experience too. Loads of staff for the drive through but one, very slow person for the counter.

You can see the clock counting down the drive through orders and that’s clearly more important than any customers inside. I hate drive throughs.

The last Tims I went to was staffed by volunteers as they had no staff. 😂

20-30cm snow forecast for Wed-Thu. I hope you didn't take off your snow tires or crampons already.

We need the moisture though. Things will be very dire by summer if all the storms keep tracking to the south and out the US SE coast, as they mostly have all winter.

YurkshireLad,
@YurkshireLad@mastodon.social avatar

@johnefrancis oh come on, Wednesday is the one day of the year I really, really don’t need snow.

@johnefrancis it’s personal but very, very important.

Welsh rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit will be in Kansas City today to sign his three-year contract with the , one that includes some guaranteed money and a signing bonus.

The International Player Pathway Program participant trained for 10 weeks at IMG Academy, impressed at am visits. He lands in KC.

@emarktaylor @nfl @rugby @RapSheet good for him! I hope his NFL career is a success.

YurkshireLad,
@YurkshireLad@mastodon.social avatar

@emarktaylor @nfl @rugby not sure about that. He wasn’t one to get stuck in to the rough and tumble; he didn’t seem to like the physical stuff as much as other wingers. I thought he would be a kick/punt return.

Trump claiming championship victories at his own golf club is a lot like 66 year old Putin "scoring 8 goals" in an exhibition game...does anybody fall for this as sincere or a meaningful indicator...of anything?

Any Canadian can tell Putin can barely get down the ice and is incapable even for his age group.
