I'm fighting a nasty flu but you can't stop me from watching this game 7. #GoJays

Rogers 🖕

Got a free 'stream box' (useless to me) as part of our 2-year contract. The box ended up as clutter, so I asked if I could return it. Rep sent a post QR code to return it.

Now I see I've been charged $138 for not returning it yet. If I hadn't asked to return it, it would still be free.
A bill summary for Transaction Fees. A line item for 'Unreturned Equipment Fee - Stream Box XI11SCS241901FDC(+) (04-Sep-25)' shows a charge of 138.00. The Total Transaction Fees are listed as $138.00.

Beautiful out here. 🏕️

@ Rushing River Provincial Park
A scenic view of a lake surrounded by a dense green forest under a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. A small, secluded lake and marshland, framed by evergreen branches, with a dense forest in the background under a cloudy sky. A view across the calm water of a lake to a shoreline lined with a dense, dark evergreen forest under a cloudy sky with patches of blue. View from inside a screen tent looking out onto a wooded campsite, where a large grey tent is pitched. A black and white dog sniffs the ground, and in the foreground, a red camp stove with a kettle sits on a table.

Not sure if this is actually for Winnipeg? Last time it was far south of the city....

Just got it twice in St James.

Lovely day out in Gimli. Bustlin'

#manitoba #gimli
A black and white, curly-haired dog in a harness sits outdoors in profile, looking to the right with its mouth slightly open. A vintage silver Canadian Armed Forces jet with red-tipped wings is mounted on a pylon, towering over a bustling outdoor street market with vendor tents and crowds of people. A large blue and white ship is moored to a wooden pier on the left side of a harbor. On the right, another pier is filled with docked sailboats, with the harbor opening to a large body of water in the center. A bustling lakeside beach on a sunny day, with a wooden boardwalk on the left and a sandy beach full of people on the right. A signpost on the boardwalk points to local Gimli attractions, including the "Lake Winnipeg Sea Wall Murals."

I finally had enough of #OneDrive and the INCREDIBLY slow speeds to download files from the web interface, or move them around within the app/file explorer in Windows.

We have M365 for my wifes business, so the space was nice - but we have Google One 2TB, so, goodbye Microsoft!

This is just lovely. I took a walk yesterday when it was at 'unhealthy', and I woke up with the sore throat, stuffed sinus/ears and headaches. Ugh...

Take care out there all. Mask up!

#winnipeg
A purple-themed widget displaying air quality information. In the top left, a large number "232" is shown with "US AQI" below it, indicating the Air Quality Index. To its right, the text "Very unhealthy" is displayed, accompanied by an icon of a person wearing a gas mask. Below this, "Main pollutant: PM2.5" is stated, with "157 µg/m³" next to it. At the bottom of the widget, weather-related icons and values are displayed: a cloud icon with "14°" (temperature), a wind icon pointing right with "8.8 km/h" (wind speed), and a water drop icon with "73%" (humidity). A warning message box with a red exclamation mark icon on the left. The text reads: "PM2.5 concentration is currently 31.4 times the World Health Organization annual PM2.5 guideline value." The number 31.4 is highlighted in red.

Is this sleep? 😴
A mobile app screenshot displaying "Sleep" tracking data for the "Month" view. The header shows "Sleep" with back and more options icons. Navigation tabs for "Day," "Week," "Month," and "Year" are visible, with "Month" selected. Below, it states "This month" with left and right arrow navigation. The main metric shows "4h 10m per day (avg)" with the text "You've hit your goal on 6 days so far." A bar chart visualizes daily sleep duration for the month, with the Y-axis ranging from 0m to 8h, and an overlaid horizontal line indicating a 6h sleep goal. Days 1 through 31 are marked on the X-axis. Below the chart, there are filter buttons: "Duration" (checked), "Score," "Schedule," and "Deep sleep" (with a dropdown arrow). The bottom section summarizes sleep data: "This month" shows "Weekly average" on the right. Below that, "This week" displays "3h 22m" with "Sleep score: 70 • Fair," and "Jul 20 - 26" shows "5h 50m" with "Sleep score: 69 • Fair."

Why is it that Cursor IDE can create a To-Do list within its own chat interface, but it can't edit it, update or remove it?

Weird.

#Cursor #Dev
> 1 of 10 To-dos I understand you want me to delete the to-do list that appears above the chat field in Cursor, but I don't see a specific tool in my available functions that would allow me to directly delete or clear Cursor's internal to-do list interface. The tools I have access to are for file operations, terminal commands, Linear integration, and other utilities, but I don't see a tool like `todo_delete`, `clear_todos`, or similar that would let me remove the to-do list from the Cursor interface. This appears to be a limitation of my current tool set - I can see that you want me to delete the to-do list, but I don't have the specific tool needed to interact with Cursor's internal to-do list feature. Is there perhaps a different way you'd like me to help with this? For example: 1. Should I create a new file to track our progress instead? 2. Is there a specific command or method I should be using that I'm missing? 3. Would you prefer to handle the to-do list deletion manually? I want to make sure I'm helping you in the most effective way possible with the tools I have available.

Apparently it's a warning but the alert really didn't seem to convey that. From what I've read it's a warning and is south of the city.

Continuing to put the kids to bed (upstairs) as normal.
The image is a screenshot from a weather app, likely The Weather Network, showing a severe weather alert for the Prairies region of Canada. At the top, there's a banner stating "Severe storms fire up in..." with the website "theweathernetwork.com." Below this, there's a section titled "ACTIVE WEATHER" with a "THUNDERSTORM FORECAST" map. The map shows different colored areas indicating storm intensity across the Canadian Prairies, with "SEVERE LIKELY" highlighted in red text. A meteorologist, identified as RHYTHM REET METEOROLOGIST, is visible in a smaller window on the right. Further down, under the heading "Current tornado warnings," it lists: * "R.M. of Macdonald incl. Brunkild Starbuck and La Salle" A detailed warning states: "6:27 PM CDT: Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a severe thunderstorm that is possibly producing a tornado. Damaging winds, large hail and locally intense rainfall are also possible." Additional details about the tornado are provided: * "Tornado detection method: Radar" * "Tornado location: Over Brunkild" * "Motion: East at 20 km/h" The bottom of the screen shows a navigation bar with icons for "Weather," "Maps," "News" (currently selected), "Video," and "Assistant."

We just got this in St James. The skies look very menacing north by the airport. It wasn't a watch or warning, it was an alert so I assume that means a confirmed touchdown.

#Winnipeg #MBStorm
A smartphone emergency alert screen displays a tornado warning from Environment Canada. The alert advises people in the affected mobile coverage area to take immediate shelter in a basement or interior room, warning of flying debris if outside. The message is shown in both English and French. The alert was issued at 6:28 p.m. CDT on Monday, July 21. The background image shows two young children standing on grass near a wooden fence, partially visible behind the alert overlay. A residential neighborhood is shown under a cloudy sky, with dark storm clouds gathering in the background. The foreground features a few green trees, a wooden utility pole with power lines, and a wet road, suggesting recent rain. Sunlight still illuminates parts of the scene, creating a contrast between the bright greenery and the ominous clouds overhead. A suburban street corner is pictured under a dramatic sky, with sunlight illuminating vibrant green and yellow trees. A stop sign and wooden utility pole stand near the edge of the road, which appears wet from recent rain. In the background, darker storm clouds loom above rooftops and tall trees, creating a contrast between the sunny foreground and the approaching weather. Power lines stretch across the sky above the scene.

So, @nickycottee.bsky.social put together the records of every #CanPL club that has played since the league launched, and it's a hard look for #ValourFC.

#ForValour #VFC
A data table showing soccer league statistics for several teams. The columns are "Team," "PTS" (Points), "Wins," "Losses," "Draws," "GF" (Goals For), "GA" (Goals Against), and "+/-" (Goal Difference). The rows are "Cavalry," "Forge," "Pacific," "York United," "HFX Wanderers," and "Valour." A "Grand Total" row is at the bottom. Valour's row is highlighted in red, with its statistics being: 170 PTS, 45 Wins, 80 Losses, 35 Draws, 180 GF, 243 GA, and -63 +/-. The table is mostly white with light blue header and footer rows.

Just made one of my favourite quick and easy meals.

Dill pickle ranch salad kit + cut up veggies of choice (cucumber here) + the precooked grilled chicken strips.

Yes it's all from Costco. Sue me.
A close-up, top-down view of a dark, rustic-looking bowl filled with a chopped salad. The salad ingredients are mixed and coated in a creamy white dressing. Visible components include chopped green lettuce or kale, shredded red cabbage, and what appear to be small pieces of cucumber. Several slices of grilled chicken with some charred marks are placed on top of the salad. The bowl is sitting on a dark, flat surface.

It's so annoying when my Pixel Watch 2 or Fitbit, whatever it is, doesn't count steps or distance correctly. It's been happening more often lately.

Example below. Working vs not working. How am I supposed to trust the numbers I'm getting?

Going to reset the watch, clear Fitbit cache etc...

Happy Friday all. Been thinking deeply about my lack of time and focus on @scootr.ca - feeling guilty that I don't have the latest episode done yet.

Debating about what to adjust for my little passion projects. Plus you add the whole ADHD thing... 😂
A meme of a woman with one child who is jumping into the pool, with the woman only focused on the child jumping in as many copies of a child who is struggling to keep their head above water are being ignored. All the children struggling are labelled 'old project's while the child jumping in who is being focused on is labelled 'new project'.

We got a dog. Our kids are so excited, and so are we. ❤️ He's a 9 month old Bernadoodle. He's a horse. Incredibly loving and playful personality.

Big move for him from the farm to the city, so we're taking it slow. I may sleep on the couch beside him tonight. Needs a good bath!
