It was great until my wife and girlfriend decided that they didn’t like each other.

First that I worked on was a DEC pdp8e. First that I owned was a Commodore 64.

I work for a US company but my contract is governed by Canadian and Ontario labour laws. The company offers unlimited time off but that’s illegal in Canada so we have unlimited time off minimum four weeks. We take as much time off as we want as long as our job gets done.

It’s ok, though. Trump has installed a loyalist who will scrub all mention of bird flu from the USDA website. Problem solved!

Look how well it worked out at the FAA!

That’s a lot of plastic.

Is Tumblr still a thing? I thought it died after the christofascists banned porn. I haven’t been back since that day and heard it had died.

Hay is grass and other plants. Straw is the stems of cereal grains. Hay has substantial nutritional value and will rot. Straw is cellulose and won’t rot.

Not hay, straw, but yes.

We live in a large straw bale house in the country. We have a generator (and a dozen large gas cans which we rotate by filling our van then refilling the gas cans) which runs all the lighting circuits, the fridge and freeer, our propane in-floor radiant heat, water well, and our propane tanlkess DHW. We also have a wood stove in the center of the house that we can use to heat the house very effectively and more than a winter’s worth of good, dry hardwood in an enclosed wood shed. We have ample supplies of food and other necessities.

Durign major weather events we leave our front door unlocked and our friends and neighbors know that they can come, bringing bedding and just find an open couch or floor space.

We’ll be fine for a good long while

176 cm (5’ 9 1/2"). I used I be 179 cm (5’ 10 1/2") but I’ve gotten shorter as I got older.

It’s how tall I am. I don’t care either way.

Canadian here. I expect the supply of products that would otherwise have gone to the US to go up and the price here to go down. I’ll just wait for the US tariff discounts to hit.

“Donald J. Trump is the chosen president-elect of the United States in every possible way you can be, a winner in the popular vote and a winner in that marble mausoleum called the Electoral College. The asterisk is not coming back, because this time I am absolutely sure that a majority of my fellow citizens will get exactly what they want. They will get pardons for the January 6 insurrectionists and an end to any federal prosecution of the incoming president, now and forever. They will get attacks on the free press and on political dissent that they have been slavering for. They will get validation for their rage, and an outlet for their promised vengeance, beyond their wildest fantasies. They will get the chaos for which they voted, and which they apparently fervently desire. And there is absolutely nothing that God, man, or the Constitution can do about it, because we did it to ourselves.”

More that 70 million of you a solid majority of the popular vote, just elected a useful idiot fascist dictator wannabe laying the groundwork for a christofascist dictatorship.

Trumpists would label them illegal intellectual elitists and hate them.

Heh.

Actually…I was two of them. me.world and me.ca
