Taught the 6yo to solder.
After two tries he’s already better at it than I am.
100% exactly what I expected.
It’s an adorable flashing LEDs on a heart-shaped circuit board kit.

It took me over a month, but I’ve finally cracked Elo 400. That precipitous drop followed by a ladder step increase is what learning looks like.
Learning how to deal with the ‘trick’ easy-win openings that people of my rating like to try.
And learning how to blunder less often.

What if the parents got together and put all the kids in one big car? Let’s call it an ‘omnibus’ because that’s Latin for together.
Maybe shorten it to ‘bus.’ And since the logistics will be challenging, the school division can handle that part. Let’s call it a ‘school bus.’

A one-minute time limit and ramped-up traffic enforcement could be considered for drop-offs and pickups at elementary schools, with the goal of making the process quicker and safer.

Disallowance in the discourse! It’s been over 80 years, but the BNA’s highly centralized architecture (in theory) is back!
The Alberta gov’t is using the notwithstanding clause to attack trans youth & the PM has the ability to stop it.
He has constitutional tools. If he refuses to use them, he is choosing political convenience over the safety & rights of trans kids.
I’ve written Mark Carney calling on him to act now.

Two of them. Connected. And then it moves across the landscape. Maybe scale it down and have seating for only one. And make a nice path for it to go on.
Each of them rotates, you know, it ´cycles.´ Let’s call it a bicycle. And the thing it rolls on a path.

I saw a novel-size book on the beginner reader section, and thought it was mis-shelved.
Nope - it’s a novel-size beginner reader book. The 6yo is so happy to have a big book like his brother.

Is Alberta just daring the federal government to revive reservation and disallowance?
The last time it was used was probably against reactionary/racist Alberta legislation. (Anti-doukhbor laws, if I’m remembering correctly)
