I'm so confused. Why does my wife use Yahoo to log into her hotmail account?

How could a driver of a $100000 BMW have never heard of taillights?

Saw him driving down the street at night, no tail lights so followed him into a parking lot to remind him to turn them on.

He had no idea what I was talking about. I showed him mine, showed him the back of his unlighted vehicle. He just jumped back in his car, pumped his brakes and said those were "tail lights", then bragged about his $100000 car and that he'd been driving it for 6 months like that.

My cat passed today

It wasn't unexpected. She was over 20 years old and had been getting thin. Last night she got really weak and we weren't sure she was going to make it through the night. Twice she fooled us by laying really still but when I picked her up she moved a bit and purred.

This morning I lay in bed reading, posting and watching videos on my iPad with her right beside me occasionally giving her a tummy rub. Eventually I noticed she'd stopped breathing.

I let the dogs say goodbye then took her to be cremated.

Trudeau on Quantum Computing

Canada just held an election with paper ballots with results on 11 pm news

Full disclosure: I've worked for Elections Canada and as a campaign worker for two Parties.

Length of campaign-5 weeks.

Polls close at 7 pm unless there's a line. CBC called it at 830 my time. Concession speeches started around 1015.

Procedure:

-got a thing in the mail saying where I was supposed to vote
-got campaign literature in mailbox
-campaign worker showed up asking if they could plant sign (yes)
-day of election my wife was able to drive her handicapped scooter to the poll to vote. Polls are within blocks of each other.
-a campaign worker showed up at the door offering to drive me but I made my own way
-I showed up, but had forgotten my little card so they found me on the master paper copy of the list
-I showed drivers' licence for ID (thete are other methods)
-I was given a paper ballot, instructed on how to use it and sent to a cardboard booth to vote
-brought ballot back (folded), they tore off a strip with their tracking number on it and I put it in the cardboard voting box

Went to work and turned on the radio.

Liberal Party Leader Trudeau fancies himself a techronat infamously lecturing on Quantum Computing

Conservative party leader O'Toole ran a crappy campaign. In his concession speech he went off on a rant about clean water.

NDP Leader Singhe ran a good campaign and appears to have picked up a couple of seats including my riding.

People's Party made no inroads but doubled their popularity and messed up some Conservative ridings

The Greens lost seats due to incompetence.

Although we had both Communist and Marxist/Leninist candidates running, nothing much happened there.

Canadian politics is weird.

Tomorrow I'm off to pull down campaign signs

CBC calls it for Liberals

There's a country-wide shortage of spicy chicken

EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!!

That's not enough people to perform Beethoven's 9th

If you're beyond 6 weeks pregnant and want some advice on abortion...

...back when I was a youngin' and dinosaurs roamed the Earth, female acquaintances of mine would abruptly go to Switzerland "on vacation" *wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more* and come back all unpregnant.

Canada's border is open to fully vaccinated people.


I'm Canadian. Somebody sue me. Go for it.

(Note if you rec this you're complicit).

Errr...I've got more than 6 and I'm a guy

3 really nice glass ones and more in various hardnesses and sizes of synthetic. Oh and mustn't forget the strapons.
