That's a very odd interpretation of "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life."

Canadian dairy product prices (for dairy products made in Canada) have always been roughly double US prices. That's how dairy production works in Canada. So there's always been a tariff at the border for dairy products from the US. I even got dinged once bringing 4 gal of milk from the US to Canada.

They're really trying to reach you about your expiring car warranty.

Or say you're really studying fenders, but it got auto-corrected.

I love this idea. I've had something similar to this in my Windows Terminal for a while but that's not always in the foreground.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. ~ Blade Runner, Tears in Rain monologue by Roy Batty / Rutger Hauer

My mid-20s kids give me the "watch out for deer" line when I drive home.

Our poodles seem to have inherited the "I'm judging you" gene.

Stay Gold, America We are at an unprecedented point in American history.

Jeff Atwood steps up to be a thing that’s sorely needed in tech right now: a leader. He actually *gives* half of his current net worth (not a pledge — he already cut checks) to 8 organizations helping the most vulnerable. blog.codinghorror.com/stay-gold-am... An inspiring move, when it most matters.

I've thought of a home water treatment system for a while in case of a Flint, MI situation or, more recently, PFAs. Dysentery and cholera (and others) were not use cases I thought I'd need to worry about.

Minnesota disappoints me. Those things are an abomination.

But Florida? That just confuses me.

For the record, my Christmas baking favorites are (in no particular order):
#shortbread
#nanaimobars
#buttertarts

So $25. Before or after tax? USD or gift source currency? MSRP or actual price?

As Jack Reacher says, details matter.

But you're right. The dual standard is ludicrous.

I would like an AI trained on nothing but Letterkenny and Shorsey. I'd use it to write those emails where you *really* want to get your point across without devolving to corporate jargon.

When I do that, I think Rider gives me an option to reset all editor fonts to my default.

Must be a common problem if they added a UI feature to reset.

Listening to the Time Machine Weekend on 89.3 The Current is one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving - every hour, music from a different year, spanning many genres.

I tuned in and the first thing I heard was Bobcaygeon by the Tragically Hip. Off to a good start.

My general rule with most recipes is to double (at least) the garlic. Side bonus is zero vampire problems.

Thursday forecast: high of 42, low of 27. Rain and snow possible. A crazy swing.

But no, childless cat ladies and the dietary habits of Ohioans are clearly the critical issue.

JD Vance claimed Minneapolis residents are giving up on the city. But is that true? Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance claimed in a visit earlier this week​ that Minneapolis is so overrun by crime that residents are fleeing the city, but is that claim true?

I posted this on fb to friends, thought I would say something more generally. JD Vance was in Minneapolis this week, speaking outside the burned-out 3rd precinct police station and talking about the city as a lawless, frightening place
