I make bracelets; I cosplay; I play video games.
Mostly here for news that's not about USA because I don't live there.

I've been waiting my entire life to get a good career at home. Thought I had a goo thing going, then AI happened and I haven't worked since this guy was elected (that's the timing, not an implication)
Canada’s new Defence Industrial Strategy will transform our military and defence supply chains — creating good careers at home, opening new markets for our businesses, and equipping the Canadian Armed Forces with the world-class equipment they need to protect Canada and our Allies.

So what should I stream for my 5-year Affiliate anniversary?
Lion King runs? Tetris and chill? Something wildly popular that I will be bad at?

My dad just called me with an algebra issue that he's not good enough at Excel to figure it out quick.
Basically it's compound interest, but using the interest to invest more. How many shares will he have after 18 months
I'll have an answer in 20min or less, probably not in a single formula form.

Every time I hear Americans talking about how bad their Olympic coverage is, I am thankful that I live in a country where an live event my country is not currently involved in is broadcast in a native language of the land.

Today I need to spend at least two hours looking for a job. I can hope to apply to ....I guess I hope for five I can apply to.
Otherwise I'm going to have to start going to employment centres, which I hate doing because none of the positions are remote or local.

Economics aside, it's hard to overstate the national security benefits to developing nations of getting out from under the thumbs of petrostates such as the United States.

Lowell Green was a racist demagogue who used his CFRA radio show as a soapbox to rant about immigrants and target racialized communities in Ottawa
Contrary to Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe's eulogy here, Lowell wasn't proud of Canada – he wrote an entire book about how it wasn't white enough for him

trying to look up recipes for chicken breasts for tonight
I don't have any dairy but old cheddar and homo milk. I'm out of potatoes. We do not have ingredients for tacos/fajitas (just tortillas and chicken).
Looking in the fridge, we have only carrots and salad dressing. Plus canned veggies.

Husband last night with channel locks, aiming for the cat's head "KITTEN PHRENOLOGY!!...
...still stupid"
Cat has a little walnut of a head, pretty smooth. Nothing to talk about on that one.

We met on a dating site. Our schedules didn't line up for a month, but we messaged daily. Finally I drove downtown one Friday night after work so we could have burritos that we ate in Trinity Bellwoods. We wanted to see a movie but it was 10pm so we went to his place.
This is an unapologetically sappy feel-good subject (at least, I guess, for people in a happy relationship”). So, to prepare for Valentine’s Day, what did you and your partner do for a first date?
My wife and I went to tea at Huntington Gardens and walked around.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).
