I mean. I suppose that's one way to accomplish "lethality"

I mean. there are no difficult problems when you are too benighted to understand how anything complex works 🤦

Shocked—SHOCKED—that there is insider trading going on in here, etc.

I was going to say something very similar. market forces can easily wipe out the 10¢/litre discount that comes from lifting the federal excise tax, especially if supply from the Persian Gulf continues to be constrained.

this reality seems to be on the fritz. time to book an appointment with the quantum mechanics

wild to surface from a heads-down day at work and have this be the first post you see

absolutely, as much as I find it funny, it's still great & important that this service exists! for every kind of Weed Emergency from "gdi breakthrough pain" to "ahh fuck I didn't realize that Racist Uncle Bob was coming to Thanksgiving dinner"

I know, like, CBD, pain/nausea relief, etc etc ofc. but "Did you forget your WEED??" still slays me 😂

ded at the thought of a Weed Emergency

1. bizarrely most countries land in March or May; almost never in April. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother'...

2. Apr 2026...supposedly

3. possibly but in this case more likely that the test data got truncated in the middle of their trip

it amazes me how many bugs you turn up by "having a theory of mind" and "walking things through to their logical conclusions"

today's featured flavours:
• "why is Mother's Day happening in April"
• "the 12th isn't a Wednesday"
• "why didn't the user book a return flight from Albuquerque" 🤔

dyyying laughing over here

they elected him as party leader with 70% of the vote, and reconfirmed him with 87% at the leadership review this past January

buy the ticket, take the ride 😂

hot take: this constitutes an unfair subsidy to the American oil industry, and Canada should retaliate because Two Can Fucking Play At That Game lol

(actually can't remember whether it was Primo or Classico, but like, point remains! at least she quit hitting on me after that 😅)

true story, one of the nonnas from my kids' playschool was over at our house for a birthday party. served pasta. she ranted about how amazing the sauce was; asked how I made it. when I showed her the jar, her face fell & she went "oh, Rick 😢" like I'd just confessed a spree of murders 😂

Stop trying to engineer your way out of listening to people I spend a lot of time negotiating this in the software world: And if you're wondering why this happens, it's normally because: 1. people aren't talking to people 2. people aren't listening So lot...

This is very, very very right ashley.rolfmore.com/stop-trying-...

Motivational-image style composition. An empty rowboat sits on a pebble shore, with a wharf visible off to the right, and a blue-green lake stretching off into the distance under somewhat unsettled skies. Text: In a river mist, if another boat knocks against yours, you might yell at the other fellow to stay clear. But if you notice then, that it's an empty boat, adrift with nobody aboard, you stop yelling. When you discover that all the others are drifting boats, there's no one to yell at. And when you find out *you* are an empty boat, there's no one to yell.

very zen 🧘

Screenshot of Ontario 511, centered on Northeastern Ontario. The map is absolutely strewn with "Incident" and "Road Closure" markers, almost all of which are due to flooding. There are a few near Thunder Bay, one up north of Cochrane, and then more than a dozen from Wawa and Sault Ste Marie, east through Sudbury and North Bay, as far as Mattawa or so.

good thing we have nothing to worry about in Ontario 🫠

in all seriousness, I have to wonder if spring flooding has always been this bad

super tangentially: "nuclear meltdown Rick" thankfully doesn't describe my current mood, but it *is* the funniest typo I've made in a long time 😂

can't believe I've never made the punny risk/rick connection before lol

at this point I have to think that Iran has made some special provision for them, or just isn't interested in passenger vessels—only goods & tankers

no matter how gung-ho the captains might be, cruise ships still need insurance and insurance companies aren't going to insure LEEEEEROY JENKINSSSS

as an aside, I still think it's hilarious that self-professed Smart Guys still smugly respond to solar proposals with "the Sun doesn't shine at night you know!"

wow, really? tell me, when do people use more electricity: when they're awake, or when they're asleep 🤔

realizing that things like "project management risk" and "cost overrun risk" are enough to bury most greenfield nuclear proposals—as opposed to, you know, "nuclear meltdown risk"—was a huge mental shift for me.

in all seriousness, the article also talks about two King Airs used to ferry politicians around -- eight-seat, twin-engine turboprops

Ford says he’d rather drive than fly after NDP dubs the van he sought ‘a souped-up man cave’ “I’m the only premier in history that refuses to use the premier’s plane, the King Air, that costs the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Ford insisted Wednesday in a testy exchange with Ess...

why, in a "souped-up man cave on wheels" of course 😅

Iran lays down its cards: a Straight

JD Vance looks at own cards: Mr Bun the Baker, Pikachu, a Shadowmage, a fireball spell, and the Fool

One thing we should really do, to boost sensible energy usage in the age of renewables, is to have a quick bit on the weather forecast giving a prediction of the likely solar and wind output, and if electricity prices are likely to drop to cheap at any point during the day.

I was about to say, damn, the figs really elevate the fruit bowl, lol 😅😋

seriously. when I used to work at an adblocking company, I was struck by

• how nebulous the returns from online advertising are, and
• how much companies spent on it anyway 🫠
