Using this from now on when people ask what I did in my MSc

I work medium and I play medium

10 m resolution images are easy to get from the ESA. Won’t give as much detail as what Planet can provide but works for, say, seeing if a building has been damaged.

I’m at City Hall and the budget committee is in-camera right now. I’ll try to post what happens when we’re back in council chambers.

I wish I could tell instagram that I’ve already bought the thing I was shopping for while they were spying on me.

I don’t need any more ads for light fixtures, thanks.

having close friends and family in the LGBTQ community means picking up a lot of queer cultural touchstones through osmosis but also understanding that every once in a while you’re going to hear about something called “blunching” and know instantly that it’s none of your business

Buying a car from a dealership for the first time in my life. Why does it feel so ick?

I can’t believe the province would do this

Hey gang you got your coordinates wrong in the part where you’re explaining how hard coordinates are.

You list “north by south” instead of “north by west”

“We can’t prove this won’t go away on its own so we’re not treating it” isn’t something I’d want to hear from my doctor

There’s even a certain amount of integrity in saying “I promised no tax increase but that’s now untenable”. It was a dumb promise but a promise nonetheless

Hot take, Fillmore should resign.

Not because of some scandal. The platform he ran on is at odds with the reality of the times. Take the L and move on.

I think about this every time they put down concrete barricades for construction. They’re set up overnight and can stay up for years. Why not start there for key bike lanes and set up slimmer infrastructure gradually?

Not rhetorical - am I missing something other than lack of will?

Get disillusioned with federal politics -> get disillusioned with provincial politics -> get disillusioned with municipal politics

Then I guess get exhausted by trying to make your own community?

Sometimes I want reliable transit and safe bike lanes but I know that someday my kid is going to have to buy a car just to participate in society and they're going to be glad that I saved $72 in municipal taxes in 2026.
