Going to watch the #sumo wrestling in London's #RoyalAlbertHall in October

Anyone else on here going?

I'm on strike. It's needed, badly.

Sucks financially, I'm not going to make mortgage payments and will have to use my savings.

But without strikes we keep getting below inflation or 0% wage increases.

I had possibly the most Canadian West coast experience possible yesterday

We were at a nude beach with friends

Under a giant sun shade they brought with

Multiple puppies walk past, guys wearing or carrying puppy play masks

See an acquaintance who is doing naked shibari suspension from trees

Remember:

If a MAGA is making noise, that noise is a lie.

They may believe that lie to be true, with all their heart, but that does not make it true.

Belief does not equal fact.

A fact remains a fact - until changed by another fact.

A belief cannot change a fact.

The MAGA-sphere - or dumbland - is going nuts over an event in Ontario Canada.

A home was being burgled by a guy that had a weapon (knife/screwdriver, something, not a gun), the home owner defended himself with a knife. The burglar was sent to hospital in a life threatening condition. OK, so ...

Going to the UK soon, first time in a decade

My UK family has known about this for many months

I was told today my nephew will be out of the UK while I'm there

He has never let me add him on social media, he bought a Tesla recently, well after Musk's Nazi reveal

Probably for the best then

I'm all for roasting TERF-island every possible chance I get

But this PinkNews headline is really clickbait, and the story misses the mark completely

Article should be titled: "TERF fakes outrage to traumatise a M&S employee just doing their job"

We need a non-US competitor to Visa and Mastercard.

Brazil? Mexico? EU?

Someone get on this!

US puritanism is going to ruin everything.

I've managed to get left over PC hardware down to these three temporary totes.

Obv not including PC cases I have laying around.

The white PC in the background is the home's plex server - also built from left over bits around six years ago.

I've spent two days cleaning up my IT hardware boxes, and my office in general, and I'm only 85% done.

I have reduced the overall spider population of Canada down by at least 1%

I have found random, and useful, hardware, like this card I can use for a 6 disk ZFS array

Today is my 11 year wedding anniversary with my awesome wife

So time to draw a card!

Oh. Well. Having never listed to this guy before - not my country and all that - this guy makes sense

The Dems are fleeing to the right in panic - dumb move

The Dems need to flee to the left
Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.

I just ate 4 hotdogs

WHY

WHY WOULD I DO THIS TO MYSELF

I mean, they were vegan dogs, but still

I appreciate how nerdy people can get about Linux, and I love how people get excited about it

But try not to evangelise

Everything has its good and bad sides, if you no longer see the bad sides in something - you are in too deep

I've said this before about #Linux, but I will say it again as a lot of new folks seem to be coming to Linux just recently.

Linux exists on a knife edge of STABILITY vs TOTAL FAILURE

My fastest standard USB drive died - a four or five year old Patriot Rage Pro 256gb

I feel aggrieved in a way I was not expecting

I then realised I also had a 500gb USB-C M2 drive laying about, so the annoyance & sadness passed quickly :)

After going into my manjaro linux server:

LINUX: Hey, you want to update to the latest kernel. It has this new features, and security updates. Do it!
Me: Um. I've been burned before, but OK.
LINUX: FUCK YOU SUCKA LOL - DIES and only has a black screen on reboot

@gizmodo.com article totally misses the point

Tesla did not stop selling here due to tariffs, Canadians stopped buying USA products - full stop

USA threatened us, we stopped supporting them

That includes Tesla, especially Telsa, as they known here as nazi cars

Tesla Makes a Desperate Move in Canada as Sales Collapse
Caught between a collapse in sales and punishing tariffs, the automaker is making a dramatic pivot, creating a bizarre pricing situation and leaving recent buyers with a serious case of regret.
