We were there! It _was_ a good game to watch. Crowd was a bit *Vancouver*, though.

TIL my 3D printer will make rather good quality minis, which was something I thought only resin printers could do.

Uh oh. #3dprinting #BambuX1C

Oh, it's waaaaay to big for our shoebox. Hmmmmm.

Notes:
- The speed limit on the bike route is 30 km/h. I was doing the speed limit.
- Motorists in BC are *required* to give people on bikes at least 1m (3.3 ft) passing distance.
- All safe cycling instruction will tell you not to weave in and out of the travel lane, stay out of the door zone

If this was you, BC 169 ADM driving a Toyota Matrix, you're an asshole. Dark, pouring rain, on a designated bike route, in a car canyon, and you feel the need to honk and close pass. An absolute tool, a moron, an imbecile. As you heard while I narrated behind you the whole way. (video next) #bikeyvr

Vancouver Goldeneyes, huh?
A screenshot of Perrin Goldeneyes from the Wheel of Time TV series. It's a man with a mean look, a beard, "fantasy" armour, blood on his face and ... golden eyes.

In other news, the tide was as high as I've ever seen it in False Creek this morning. Maybe 3 ft below the top of the Seawall? It was weird seeing all the gangways horizontal.
A screenshot from a bikecam on Vancouver's seawall path near Go Fish. There's shrubbery on the left with condos, a divided path, then the seawall on the right. The water level of False Creek is quite high. The fishing wharf in the distance has a gangway that is level from the shore to the floating docks.

I'm sure everyone's already posted theirs but the crows and I were chasing this #rainbow home for the whole ride. #bikeyvr
A photo taken from the side of a separated bike path on the edge of a park. Beside the bike path is a sidewalk and then the street. There are some 2 and 3 storey buildings on the far side of the road. There are cars on the road, in both directions, but not heavy traffic. There is a big tree in the middle distance. The sky is orange-grey except for a bright rainbow on the right.

Also, Bing's not consistent, either.
Instead of searching "1 C/min in F/min", the results of searching "1 C/min to F/min" and instead it gives 26.9 F/min. Also wrong.

Bing, for what it's worth, is no better.
Searching 1C/min in F/min in Bing gives 33.8 F/min. Which is also wrong.

Even when you correct it, it gets it wrong.
Trying to convert 1 C/min to F/min using google. This time it shows 1 C/min = 1921.8 F/min. And it shows a formula to back that up: (1C x 9/5) + 32 = 1921.8F. Which is bad math and the wrong formula.

The continued enshittification of the internet, part 23421.

This used to work.
Using Google search to convert 1 C/min to 1 F/min. The displayed result is nonsense, showing -16114.8 C/min = -27086.73 F/min. A formula is displayed below but it's also wrong.

My youngest kid went to school like this today, after spending quite some time doing his makeup. I drove him.

I'm running the building's Halloween party tonight, and he didn't want to take the bus home for some reason, so he's riding his bike home. In the heavy rain. I need the "after" photo!
A teenager in an elevator, staring side-on at the photographer with a dead look. It helps that he's made up in zombie make up including scars, wounds, blood, and so on. There's blood on his clothes. I'm not sure what's going on with his hair, but it's lighter and ... deader? ... than normal.

The light tonight was amazing. Made up for the light rain that was falling on me. Also snow on the North Shore Mountains! #vancouver #fall
A photo of the eastern end of False Creek, with a bit of Habitat Island on the left. Across the water are a few concrete and glass towers, the SkyTrain guideway, some brilliant orange trees, some midrise buildings in Chinatown and Strathcona. In the background is a heavily trees mountain, dark in the shadow of a cloud, with snow at the top, and some white puffy clouds. The rest of the sky is blue except for a very dark cloud at the very top of the frame.

Peak #bikeyvr #vancouver #fall
Photo from someone riding a bike. Their shadow falls on the bike path ahead of them. A walking path is barely visible on in the right, and the bike path recedes into the distance curling off to the right slightly. The boulevard between the paths is lined with mature trees with brilliant orange and yellow leaves. The trees on the right of the path are still green.

How is started/how it ended, Raincouver edition. #bikeyvr
Sunlight filters through some fall-colour trees on to two bike paths. There's a small building in the middle ground. A photo from the middle of the Granville St Bridge, looking downtown. There's a more-or-less empty bike lane and sidewalk, a barrier, and a few cars on the road deck. There are some ominous dark clouds in the sky. A photo from the Granville St Bridge, heading out of downtown. The lens is partially obscured with water drops. There are no other people in the bike lane or on the sidewalk. There are a few vehicles in the car lanes, and a very dark cloud in the sky. A photo from a bike cam in south False creek. There are low-rise buildings, and fall-coloured trees actively shedding their leaves. There is water pooling on the road, and rain bouncing off it.

Hold on, I got into work really early today and have been in meetings all day long. I want in on this.
A photograph of the early-morning proto-sunrise this morning from a building above a parking lot. There are 4 or 5 storey university buildings in the middle ground but in the sky above are scallop-shaped dark clouds against a blue sky. On the horizon is the brilliant yellow and orange of the beginning of sunrise.

I thought maybe we'd missed it, but the trees are brilliant right now. #Autumn #Fall #Vancouver #UBC
A photo taken from the side of a mostly empty road. There are a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees lining the sides, and the deciduous trees are a mix of brilliant red and orange. The road retreats into the distance in the centre of the photo.
